Our Richstone families made blankets during our October Partners in Philanthropy program. Founded in 2014 by Cheryl Shojinaga and Theresa Dawson, Partners in Philanthropy is intended to provide Richstone families an opportunity to participate in community service. At each program, a community partner shares about their work and engages the families in projects for their organization.

Families learn new skills, connect with one another, and give back to their community. Cheryl and Theresa hope that participants feel empowered to make a difference alongside their family.

This month, PIP was joined by Jean Petrillo from RDH Children’s Dental Health Clinic, whose mission is to provide oral health education for disadvantaged children. They offer premier training in education and dentistry and hope that all children grow up with healthy, confident smiles. Jean shared helpful information about CDHC and oral hygiene before helping with blanket making.

Thank you to Cheryl, Theresa, and Jean for an amazing PIP session! ❤️

October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Swipe to learn about the different kinds of domestic violence and important resources.

Domestic violence can be physical, mental, emotional, financial, and more. DV is a pattern of harmful behaviors that allow a person to exert control and power over another. It can be unique to each situation and is not always obvious to those around the survivor.

If you or a loved one are experiencing DV, you can call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1(800)799-SAFE (7233). Or text SAFE to 88788.

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. First honored in 2006, National Bullying Prevention Month is held to educate and raise awareness of bullying prevention.

Bullying can be extremely harmful to a young person’s self-esteem and mental health. Children should feel safe being themselves in social and educational settings.

Throughout National Bullying Prevention Month and beyond, lead with kindness and empathy. If you or someone you know is experiencing bullying, reach out to a trusted educator or adult in your life.

The Kids Club students had so much fun on their trip to the in San Juan Capistrano! The Ecology Center is a Regenerative Organic Certified farm dedicated to the California ecological movement.

The students learned about the center and made fresh salsa from tomatoes they got to pick themselves! It was especially interesting to hear about water conservation and how we can do our part to save our natural resources.

Thank you to The Ecology Center for teaching our students! To learn more about Kids Club, go to the link in our bio or richstonefamily.org/children.

Our Kids Club Students went to the in San Pedro and learned about sea life! The educators taught students about the different marine animals that live at the aquarium and close to home in the Pacific Ocean.

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.
