When you think of October, you probably first think of Halloween. The next thing that comes to mind is Pink for Breast Cancer awareness as pink is everywhere this month. But did you know October is also National Bullying Prevention Month and Domestic Violence Awareness Month?
I wanted to share some resources with you and asked our friends over at CAP4Kids to help. I thought CAP4Kids was perfect because the mission of the Children’s Advocacy Project for Kids (CAP4Kids) is to help bridge the gap between the many quality social service agencies in the community and the families that need their help the most.
While we are thinking pink, here are some resources for Breast Cancer Awareness Month:
-Resources for Free & Low-Cost Healthcare: https://cap4kids.org/columbus/health-care-insurance/
-Columbus Public Health offers free or low-cost breast exams: https://www.columbus.gov/Services/Public-Health/Find-Health-Care-Resources/Womens-Health-and-Wellness-Center
-The CPH Resource lists very helpful for things like women’s healthcare, prenatal care, and more: https://cap4kids.org/columbus/cph-resource-lists/
