Hi Patrick, I read your comment regarding the recent article on the work in Washington State and wanted to make a few clarifications. The Washington State Family Policy Council was the mother ship, so to speak, overseeing and providing administrative support for the local efforts by what were designated as Community Public Health and Safety Networks (as we were designated in Washington statute). We were not called Family Policy Councils. To simplify things we referred to ourselves as...

Hi there, I confirmed yesterday with Leigh Hofheimer and WSCADV that this event is scheduled for July 26th 9am-4pm. On the ACES CONNECTION calendar it is listed as June 26th as well as on this page. It would be good to correct to the July 26th date and time. Best, Jennifer Hayes

Hi Dario - sorry for the delay in responding. I forwarded your message to our Executive Director. Thanks!

Hi, Is there a way to be connected with one of the presenters? I missed the event, but Karen Clemmer and I met on Friday last week and she recommended being connected w/ Ron Murphy and the work he's doing around Trauma-Informed Care and Racial Equity. I tried to find contact info online but no luck. Thank you for any help you can provide!

I responded to Melissa via Private Message.

The draft strategic plan helps our agency focus on how we serve children, youth, families and our communities as one entity.

There is more work ahead for us to accomplish the priorities set out in the draft plan. The process to gather...

Title image: Jeny Bissell, Ho‘oikaika Partnership founder and Core Partner, gives a shaka at a Child Abuse Prevention Month mayor's proclamation and concert. A brochure from the Ho‘oikaika Partnership shows four people paddling a slender boat, their bodies silhouetted against an apricot-hued sky. The tagline: “When it comes to parenting, who’s in your canoe?” The image and the metaphor are intentional, says Karen Worthington, coordinator of the 60-member, cross-sector Ho‘oikaika Partnership...

Hi, I'm also working as a therapist in California. So as a black therapist in California my aim to help those black people who feel shy or any other problem in telling about their mental health condition. In California, many black people are suffering from different mental illnesses and only a therapist can help them to get rid of these issues.
