Mamas and Little Ones Support Circle
Every other Monday, we offer Mamas & Little Ones Support Circle in partnership with United Indian Health Services. This welcoming space brings pregnant and parenting families together to connect, share experiences, and build community. Families can also access drop-in lactation support as needed.
Join us twice a month to receive free, drop-in lactation support, connect with other Native families, and learn more about community resources as you navigate parenthood.
Circles on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of the month from 10AM-12 PM at The Center.

We offer Youth and Adult Mental Health First Aid Training in Spanish and English.
Mental Health First Aid gives you the skills to recognize when someone is facing a mental health or substance use challenge--and the confidence to be their first source of support. Contact us to schedule a MHFA training for your team or group.
