October is Work and Family Month!
The aim of National Work and Family Month (WFM) is to raise awareness for family-friendly policies, work-place flexibility and other work-life benefits that attract, de-stress, engage and retain a talented workforce. We aim to highlight our efforts in helping people manage their home and work responsibilities so they can bring their best selves to each day. Below please find some resources to help you find some work and life harmony.

Youth and young adults are more likely to use these new and emerging tobacco and nicotine products than any other age group population. Sales of JUULs have increased 800% in the past year, and research shows that these products are being used by young people who may have not considered using tobacco.
