Los Alamos teens and their families are invited to an open house celebration of El Día de los Mu***os and introduction to FSN's teen grief group, The Space Between.

Our special guest, high school Spanish teacher Maria Romero, will be hosting a community altar (ofrenda) for remembering our lost loved ones. Everyone is welcome to bring a photo or other item representing their loss to add to the ofrenda.

The Space Between facilitators Kristine Coblentz and Rumi Sauñe will be there to talk about the teen grief group and answer any questions people may have.

In addition to the community altar, we will have a sample of activities for people to see. We hope that this open house will help people understand the importance of cultural celebrations, having a space for active grieving, and the value of going through that process with community support.

The open house will be on Thursday, October 29th from 6-7:30 pm at Family Strengths Network - 3540 Orange St. Please join us at any time!

Film Screening: No Country for Mothers
Tuesday, November 10 from 6-8pm

Los Alamos Early Childhood Collaboration (LAECC), Southwest Women's Law Center, and the Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) Coalition are hosting a special screening of "No Country For Women," a powerful documentary by Moms First about what motherhood really looks like in America today.

This isn’t just about watching a film; it’s about being in a room where we can say things out loud that we’ve been carrying quietly, and realize we’re not alone.

There will be a discussion following the screening about how a Paid Family & Medical Leave (PFML) policy in New Mexico would provide much-needed support for our community.
Would love for you to join us! The event is free, but please RSVP here: https://www.mobilize.us/momsfirst/event/1060973
