This February, Richstone would like to draw attention to Teen Dating Violence Prevention Month. In a 2021 study, 1 in 12 teens reported experiencing physical dating violence, and 1 in 10 teens reported experiencing sexual dating violence. Behaviors that teens may find “normal” can actually be indicative of larger issues within a relationship.

Intimate partner violence can include physical and sexual violence, psychological aggression, stalking, and more. Teens who experience teen dating violence can be more likely to experience depression, anxiety, unhealthy coping mechanisms, isolation, antisocial behaviors, and suicidal ideation.

Warning signs of an unhealthy relationship include:
1. Someone controlling their partners independence, time, self-expression, etc.
2. Disrespecting boundaries of physical touch, time, privacy, etc.
3. Being demeaning and harming a person’s self-esteem
4. Manipulating using anger and guilt
5. Isolating a person from their family and friends

If you have noticed this in your relationships or see it in others and need immediate help, call 800-799-SAFE (7233). For more information on teen dating violence, visit teendvmonth.org.

We would like to express our gratitude for Single Mom Project, who is a longtime supporter of the Richstone Family Center and who helps those in our community who need it most.

Single Mom Project was founded by Janet Jones, who became a single parent when her sons were young children. Janet received a generous donation from a friend who wanted the Jones family to thrive despite difficult circumstances. Janet became determined to pay it forward, and in 2020 she and her sons fundraised enough money to honor 11 Richstone families.

Each year, during the Thanksgiving and Mother’s Day seasons, Single Mom Project supports Richstone families with single parents that are nominated by the RFC staff. Because of this generosity, these families have help with rent, food, clothing, and more. All children and parents deserve to be safe, happy, and healthy, and Single Mom Project helps make this possible when facing the difficulties of single parenthood.

Deepest thanks to Single Mom Project, Janet, and her sons, Evan and Carter. Your love and care help our community thrive. ❤️

February is Teen Dating Violence Month. In 2006, following the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act in 2005, dozens of organizations called for an end to dating abuse, enacting the first “National Teen Dating Violence Prevention and Awareness Week.” In 2010, the month of February was officially dedicated to teen dating violence and prevention.

A healthy relationship can be complicated, and many teenagers struggle to find the social-emotional skills to cope. As a result, teenage relationships can result in unhealthy, toxic, and even abusive dynamics.

Some signs of unhealthy dynamics include: jealousy, unexpected instances of anger, a controlling partner, lying, pressuring a partner into doing something they do not want to do. If you notice this in your relationship or happening to someone you care about, contact a trusted adult.

If you are in need of immediate help, call 800-799-SAFE (7233). For more information on teen dating violence, visit teendvmonth.org.

On Saturday, the Partners in Philanthropy Program brought guest speaker Martha Hammer to share about her work with Shared Bread. She led our Richstone Families in a craft, creating Valentine’s Day themed placemats to decorate the tables at Shared Bread’s upcoming meals in February. Partners in Philanthropy is a wonderful opportunity for Richstone Families to bond over breakfast and collaborate to give back to the community.

Shared Bread is a community outreach program from the First United Methodist Church in Redondo Beach. Each Wednesday, they provide a warm, home-cooked meal for those in need. In addition to nutritious meals, Shared Bread also provides clothing, hygiene items, healthcare, substance use support, and more. To learn more about Shared Bread, visit sharedbread.org.

This week, Tasha from Art at Your Fingertips led our students in a painting activity inspired by Jean Michel Basquiat. Using a bold style, symbols, and words, the students created fun dinosaur paintings to express themselves.

Art at Your Fingertips is based out of the Palos Verdes Art Center, and brings arts education to elementary school classrooms. Our students always have so much fun learning about art history and new artists and getting to be creative with each other! Thank you to our volunteers who lead and facilitate the program each month.

Food Initiative is back at Kids Club! South Bay Food Initiative is an organization that works to combat hunger and food insecurity, while educating on healthy eating and nutrition.

Last week, our Food Initiative volunteers from Mira Costa High School gave a lesson to our students about eating to energize themselves for exercise. They reminded everyone that food is fuel! A car needs gas to drive, and our students need nutritious food to have fun with their friends.

Thank you to Food Initiative for helping our students learn these important lessons. Our students are so lucky to have great programming every day after school.

OUR HISTORY

The Richstone Family Center was incorporated as a non-profit social services agency in 1974. In 1977, the State of California awarded Richstone a grant as one of the first of 6 child abuse treatment and prevention programs in the state. With this grant Richstone Center was established as a comprehensive agency providing services to approximately 70 families a year. In 1980, Richstone was recognized as a neighborhood family center by ICAN (Los Angeles County Inter-agency Council on Child Abuse and Neglect). Since that time, Richstone has expanded its staff from six to more than 135, increased the number of programs offered; expanded the area of service from Hawthorne to include the southwest corner of Los Angeles County and the Greater South Bay; increased the number of sites offering services to include six school districts, opened a Transitional Living facility and a satellite office in Torrance. Richstone offers services for children from birth to 18 and for parents in their teens to grandparents in their sixties. Throughout this period of rapid growth, Richstone invested 83%-90% of all revenue to directly serve the highest need communities.
