🕯️ 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐟𝐟 𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

To promote staff wellbeing and help reduce stress, our social work intern, 𝐘𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐠, facilitated a guided meditation session at EOC of Suffolk’s Central Islip office.

Meditation encourages us to pause, breathe, and reset — fostering creativity, enhancing mental clarity and focus, and increasing overall awareness.

In the midst of busy days serving our community, taking intentional moments for reflection strengthens both individual wellness and our collective impact.

Thank you, Yilin, for helping create space for calm and connection.

💜 𝐏.𝐒. 𝐈 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮 — because your mental health matters.

More than 1,400 inspirational coffee sleeves created by LEAPS students at South Ocean Middle School in the Patchogue-Medford School District have been delivered to the Starbucks at the corner of Sunrise Highway and Waverly Avenue in North Patchogue.

The students wrote uplifting messages for customers, small reminders with a big impact. Each sleeve encourages members of our community to pause, breathe, and remember that self-care is not selfish . . . it`s necessary.

These powerful messages are reaching customers throughout the community, helping to spread kindness, strengthen mental health awareness, and remind people they are not alone.

Thank you to the students, educators, and community partners who made this meaningful project possible.

In honor of 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡, we remember and recognize 𝑰𝒅𝒂 𝑩. 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒔-𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒕𝒕 (1862–1931).

Wells-Barnett was a 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭, as well as an educator and early civil rights leader, who exposed racial violence and injustice at great personal risk.

She was also a 𝐜𝐨-𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐀𝐀𝐂𝐏, helping to lay the groundwork for generations of advocacy. Her life is a reminder that 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ-𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 and 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑔𝑒 can move history forward. 🖤
