April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

Our children are sacred, and it’s our shared responsibility to keep them safe. Child abuse and neglect can take many forms—physical, emotional, sexual, and neglect—by a parent, caregiver, or someone in a custodial role, like a teacher or coach. If you or someone you know needs support, the Nisqually Tribal Health & Wellness Center is here to help. Our Behavioral Health team provides confidential resources and guidance for families. Call us at (360) 459-5312 to learn more.

We've Got You Covered at the NTHWC!

We are proud to now offer free feminine hygiene products in the NTHWC bathrooms.
