At the April 9th Board meeting we recognized April as Child Abuse Prevention month. Child Abuse Prevention Month recognizes the importance of families and communities working together to prevent child abuse and neglect.
Our county social services agency along with their community partners, have been committed to ensuring our community is educated on the signs of abuse and how to report.
In 2023 there were more than 30,000 reports filed regarding alleged child abuse here in Orange County.
The hotline number for Orange County Child Protective Services is 714-940-1000 which is available 24/7. If you suspect child abuse or neglect, please call this phone number.
Thank you to the SSA staff for their diligent work in this field, giving children an opportunity to grow in a caring environment.

On Friday, Office Ambassador Paulette Chaffee and Policy Advisor Emma Fisher attended the Parks with Purpose Graduation for Sunset Lane Elementary.
Parks with Purpose is funded through a $45,000 grant from the Orange County Parks Foundation. The program is designed to engage underserved children in nature based educational experiences in county parks. Fourth grade students from Sunset Lane Elementary participated in a 10 week program which allows students to learn more about nature and the environment here in Orange County.
Congratulations to all the students who graduated from the program. Thank you to OC parks for hosting this program and providing an outlet for Fourth District kids to connect with nature.

At the Tuesday Board meeting, I sponsored a resolution to recognize April as DMV/Donate Life Month. DMV/ Donate life Month recognizes the importance and urgency for people to sign up as an organ donor.
Nearly 114,000 Americans are currently waiting for an organ transplant, nearly 22,000 live in California. Through the simple action of checking “yes”on your DMV driver license application or renewal form you can sign up to become an organ donor.
I want to thank OneLegacy for attending and accepting the resolution that day. Through their organization, they have been able to educate about and facilitate donations across Southern California.
