Last month, our CORE Prevention team co-hosted two large backpack giveaways to kiddos in our community! We visited the Palmdale Aerospace Academy for a resource fair to hand out backpacks, provide prevention activities and information, and then, with the City of Santa Clarita, gave back-to-school items and backpacks to the kiddos at The Village Apartments.
Great job to our CORE teams!

What a meaningful and informative event! π Unite Against Domestic Violence, co-hosted by Zonta and Child & Family Center, brought us together to talk about education, prevention, and awarenessβand how we can all help build safer, healthier communities.
At Child & Family Center, we provide support, services, and shelter for people experiencing domestic violence. We also have a department dedicated to prevention and education, offering workshops, classes, and events in our local schools and throughout the community focused on healthy boundaries, relationships, and communication.
These conversations are especially important for our young people. Helping them understand respect, recognize unhealthy behaviors, and feel confident setting boundaries lays the foundation for healthier relationships throughout their lives.
There is no place for violence or abuse of any kindβphysical, emotional, verbal, sexual, or financial. Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and respected.
Thank you to Zonta and everyone who joined us in keeping these important conversations going. Education and awareness can help prevent abuse before it begins. π
π As we prepare for Purple Walk on October 10, we`re proud to recognize the sponsors helping drive meaningful change in our community. π
A sincere thank you to Advocating Change Sponsors FIT BODY BOOT CAMP and NOLA MED TRANSPORT. Their support helps Child & Family Center continue providing advocacy, resources, and essential services through our Domestic Violence Program for individuals and families impacted by domestic violence.
π Every step taken, every dollar raised, and every story shared helps strengthen services that provide safety, support, and hope to survivors.
