October is Substance Use Prevention Month — and we’re Telling the Prevention Story. Join us, as partners in prevention!

• To inspire action, each of us can share how prevention is improving lives in our communities.
• We aim to prevent substance use in the first place, prevent the progression of use, and reduce harms. And we have the prevention playbook to do so.
• Prevention science (with decades of research and community-based experience) shows that prevention works.
• Prevention strengthens protective factors and reduces risk factors ― in individuals, families, schools, communities, and society.
• Prevention helps us get ahead of substance use and mental health challenges — so that youth, families, and communities can thrive.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month (DVAM), a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness about domestic violence. Every October, organizations and individuals unite across the country to uplift the needs, voices, and experiences of survivors.

Domestic violence is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to maintain power and control over another partner in an intimate relationship. This can manifest in different ways, including physical, emotional, sexual, mental, and financial abuse and stalking. It affects individuals of every age, socio-economic status, orientation, gender, race, religion, or nationality. The severity of violence is often greater in cases where the pattern of abuse was established in adolescence and within teen dating violence.

Effects of violence against women, men, and children:

Violence against women, men, and children can cause long-term physical and mental health problems. Violence and abuse affect not just the women or men involved but also their children, families, and communities. These effects include harm to an individual’s health, possibly long-term harm to children, and harm to communities such as lost work, homelessness, and substance use challenges.

With the painful challenges that can stem from the devastating impacts of domestic violence, there is hope because healing and help is possible.

We’re looking forward to meeting with you on Wednesday October 2nd, 2024, from 3:30-5pm.

Navigating the IEP process with your child can feel daunting. This presentation will highlight effective practices for parents and caregivers working in collaboration with school districts. Eli will present information on the educational process a school must go through when developing an IEP, and the educational rights that a child with disabilities has in all public schools throughout California.
