Common Ground Health

Early relationships matter. From day one, children look to their caregivers for love, guidance, and safety. Babies' brains are wired for relationships right from birth: They grow every time someone connects, talks, or plays with them! The care and attention of even one nurturing, responsive adult sets a child up for a lifetime of good mental health. ❤️ Learn more on our new resources page at LoveFromTheStart.org ❤️ #LoveFromTheStart #HealthiKids #InfantMentalHealth #ChildrensMentalHealth #IECMH #ChildDevelopment

Kudos to Monroe County for ensuring unhoused individuals during cold weather have a place to sleep, including in the suburbs, and to RTS for providing a way to get there. In our spotlight "Unhomed: A Spotlight on Homelessness in the Finger Lakes Region," we showed how homelessness throughout our region – including informal homelessness - has risen dramatically as rents have risen. https://lnkd.in/gA2p_HbX
