Strengthening Families Program

October is officially here! As spooky season kicks off, many of us are looking forward to costume parties and Halloween celebrations. If you’re planning your activities, remember that a great night doesn’t have to include alcohol. Trick-or-treating with family or organizing a Halloween game night with friends are awesome ways to celebrate safely and create lasting memories.

¡Octubre ha llegado oficialmente! A medida que comienza la temporada espeluznante, muchos de nosotros esperamos con ansias las fiestas de disfraces y las celebraciones de Halloween. Si estás planeando tus actividades, recuerda que una gran noche no tiene que incluir alcohol. Ir a pedir dulces con la familia u organizar una noche de juegos de Halloween con amigos son formas increíbles de celebrar de manera segura y crear recuerdos duraderos.
