Sesame Street
1 in 28 children in the United States have a parent in state or federal prison.
Unfortunately, few resources exist to support young children and families coping with this life-changing circumstance. These children have to deal with the confusion, shame, and anger that accompany the sudden absence of a parent. The 2.7 million children with an incarcerated parent share similar experiences, but they don’t often feel comfortable talking about them. Their parents and caregivers don’t often know how to begin the conversation, and at times discourage children from mentioning it to other adults in their life, such as teachers and extended family.
In order to support children with an incarcerated parent and help them persevere through such a challenging experience, Sesame Workshop launched the Little Children, Big Challenges: Incarceration initiative. The bi-lingual (English/Spanish) resources include videos and a storybook for children to help support and comfort them, videos and guides for parents and caregivers to help them find the language to talk about incarceration with their children, and a resource for the incarcerated parent that highlights the importance of communication.

The Well Care Group
Our Story
Our story began with the opening of our first location,
Well Care Pharmacy in Las Vegas, Nevada in 2007. In 2013, a major consolidation in the
industry occurred and Well Care Pharmacy successfully sold its retail
operations to CVS Pharmacy while retaining its Compounding Pharmacy and “Long
Term Care” Pharmacy that serviced hospitals, group homes and skilled nursing
facilities. Today, we continue to operate Well Care Compounding, Long Term Care
and MDRx, a program that enables Physicians and Private Practices to dispense
medication at the point of care. In
2015, we introduced Well Care Mental Health1, a service focused on healthcare
solutions for the behavioral and homeless population in Las Vegas. We opened
our first clinic in October 2015 and another 8,000 square foot Medical and
Behavioral Clinic in January 2016. The
vision expanded to Northern Nevada and we opened Well Care Medical and
Behavioral Clinic2 in Reno Nevada in October 2016.
