Did you know? Wampum belts, made of strings of white shell beads, were used by some groups of Indigenous people to mark agreements, treaties, and covenants.
The Two Row Wampum Belt (below) symbolized respect and peace between the Haudenosaunee and European settlers.

A woman whose partner applies pressure to her neck even once is 750% more likely to be killed at the hands of that same partner.
It's not choking. It’s not breath play. It’s strangulation. And it is one of the best predictors for femicide.

As a parent, you’re often pulled in multiple directions, which can make it difficult to prioritize your own mental health. However, taking care of yourself is essential in order to be able to care for your child.
