The words we choose can reduce stigma and encourage people to seek help.

Using person-first language—such as "person with a substance use disorder" instead of labels—shows respect and recognizes recovery is possible.

It’s , and this year’s theme is “Work. Pump. Advance. Empowering the modern parent.” 🤱 At WIC, we support working parents by providing breast pumps, peer support and lactation experts, nutritious food, and personalized food packages to support your breastfeeding goals.

We believe breastfeeding parents should be able to feed their babies or toddlers (or pump/hand express milk!) at work, school, and in public with respect and support. Learn more about your breastfeeding rights: https://loom.ly/Dx2Cl7g

🧠 Mindful Monday: Back-to-School Routines Build Safety 🎒

As kids head back to school, a consistent routine can be more powerful than we realize. Predictable mornings, regular mealtimes, and calming bedtime routines can help children feel safe, supported, and prepared for the day ahead. 💙

For children who have experienced stress or adversity, that sense of predictability can be especially important. Small, consistent routines can create stability, strengthen connections, and support a child’s overall well-being.

This Mindful Monday, remember: you don’t need a perfect routine—just one that helps your family feel safe, connected, and supported. 🌱

Naloxone is a type of medicine that can reverse an opioid overdose fast. It can keep someone alive until emergency care arrives. Knowing the signs of an overdose and how to administer naloxone can make a difference in an emergency.

Naloxone is available as a nasal spray or an injection. Find training on how to use each type of naloxone and where to find it in Missouri at https://loom.ly/38GbjtQ

The health benefits of breastfeeding are well-researched for baby and parent! 🤱

WIC is here to support your family from the moment you know you’re pregnant, up to your child’s fifth birthday! Read more: https://loom.ly/XbwqEX0
