Have you ever been surprised to hear that somethin

Have you ever been surprised to hear that something you believed isn’t necessarily true? Or, perhaps, you enjoy a good myth busting?

Come join us next Tuesday, Sept 27th at 5:30pm, as a few of our New Beginnings team members lead a virtual, community discussion on some commonly believed myths about relationships, violence, and advocacy.

Register with our link in bio or on our website. This event will take place on Zoom.

Today is the start of National Hispanic Heritage M

Today is the start of National Hispanic Heritage Month.

Rather than starting on the first of the month, Hispanic Heritage month begins on the 15th of September to commemorate the "Cry of Delores", the instigating moment of the Mexican Revolution. In the United States, the month celebrates the histories, cultures and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean and Central and South America

Two weeks ago, we held our first ever Youth Empowe

Two weeks ago, we held our first ever Youth Empowerment Retreat! 10 Seattle and Shoreline teens came together for 3 days of learning, connection, and fun. They even practiced facilitating discussions with their own peers!

We are proud of these young activists’ commitment to social change and healthy relationships. The future is now! You’ll be seeing great things from them soon.

While Seattle Public Schools will be starting late

While Seattle Public Schools will be starting late, lots of other students are heading back to school this week.

September is a great time to review resources for how to talk to kids who might be experiencing abuse, and how to equip them with the skills to understand healthy relationships.

According to the CDC, about 1 in 7 children experience some kind of abuse in the last year. This can be physical (hitting or causing physical pain), emotional (name calling, shaming, or verbal), sexual (unwelcome touch or rape), or child neglect (withholding clothing, shelter, food, etc). Additionally, nearly 1 in 11 female and approximately 1 in 14 male high school students report having experienced physical dating violence in the last year. Kids and adults who spot signs and symptoms of abuse in friends, classmates and students should take appropriate steps to get help.

We'll have links to a broader mix of resources in our September eNews, but a great place to start is our page about how to talk to youth.

Historically, August is a time when we at New Begi

Historically, August is a time when we at New Beginnings take a step back for rest and self-care. We take a break from staff meetings, board meetings and other major projects so that we can be ready to hit the ground running in the fall.

Are you making time to take care of yourself this summer? We recognize that while some people have the flexibility and resources to take full vacations, some others might only have a few hours a week to themselves. But, as author Tricia Hersey says, "Rest is resistance"! Taking care of ourselves and our bodies (however that looks for you!) is an essential part of fighting for justice and change.

Have you signed your teen up for our youth retreat

Have you signed your teen up for our youth retreat NEXT WEEK? Registration closes on Monday! Free to all 13-18 teens and located in Greenwood. You’ll learn rad skills, meet other cool local teens, and eat free lunch. DM us for more info!
