Hopping into Wednesday with a new pet highlight! Today, we get a self-care tip from resident rescue pigeon, Zephyr. Some days are stressful or you wake up tired, dopamine dressing can be a fun way to lift your mood.

What is dopamine dressing? Wearing your favorite colors or a fun item of clothing that makes you smile when you see it. Sometimes it's the little things that have a big impact.

Our next pet spotlight, for National Pet Month, is Huda. Huda is a friend to all and lover of the outdoors. Huda shares a tip for picking up your mood. Roll down the window, go outside, or just enjoy a bit of sunshine.

Happy National Pet Month!

Register now to join us next month for an enlightening 90-minute webinar on restorative justice. Attendees will be able to sit in on an expert discussion on working towards human-centered approaches to healing from and preventing harm. Restorative justice offers unique and creative pathways for addressing the needs expressed by those impacted by harm. Sometimes those pathways involved direct interaction with the initial harm doer, while other times it includes those responsible for secondary or institutional harm.
