💚 Sometimes, choosing to live starts with choosing the next moment.

Pain and hopelessness can make the future feel impossible—but those feelings can change. Connection, support, and even one small reason to keep going can make a difference.

Read “Choosing to Live: What the Science of Su***de Teaches Us About Hope, Connection, and Staying” from USU Extension for insights on hope, connection, safety, and finding reasons to keep moving forward. 💚

🍴 Cook, Learn & Take Control! 💙

Knowing why you need to change your diet to manage diabetes symptoms is one thing, actually making those changes can be a struggle. Join us from the comfort of your own kitchen as we make delicious and diabetes appropriate meals together. Each week in this series we will discuss specific topics about diabetes to help you better manage your symptoms.

We will also make a recipe during each class to help you learn how to incorporate the principles we are teaching in class into the meals you choose to eat. Each class will feature an easy to prepare recipe that is appropriate for someone with diabetes to eat. We will email you the recipe and shopping list one week before the class so that you can be prepared to cook along with us!

Strong family relationships don’t always require big plans or extra time. Sometimes, they grow through the simple routines we already have.

Sharing a meal, checking in at the end of the day, or starting a weekly family tradition can create meaningful opportunities to connect, communicate, and build a sense of belonging.

Small, consistent moments can make a lasting difference. Discover three simple ways everyday routines can strengthen your family relationships.
