April 24th is Genocide Remembrance Day
Learn More: https://conta.cc/4maaL1e
Genocide commemoration is more than a history lesson. It is a powerful tool to engage people across generations in the sanctity of human rights. It also provides opportunities for healing and sends a powerful signal about our values.

This is a day to reflect on past and present genocides and those who have felt the impact of these atrocities. This is also a day to reflect on the importance of promoting mental health and well-being. In the wake of these genocides, there is multi-generational trauma that follows. Survivors and descendants of genocide often suffer from trauma and other mental health challenges. Our Center takes a trauma-informed approach to care.

We honor the memory of those who have lost their lives in genocides and mass atrocities around the world. Through awareness and education, we can work towards preventing future atrocities and supporting those who have been affected by past ones.

April is National Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month
Learn more: https://conta.cc/3PPI91t
Sexual assault is a public health crisis. Sexual violence can occur anywhere, and millions of assaults occur each year at the workplace, in the home, at school, and online.

According to RAINN (R**e, Abuse & In**st National Network), the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization, 8 out of 10 rapes are committed by someone known to the victim.

Sexual assault can be a life-changing trauma for far too many of our neighbors, colleagues, family, and friends. This trauma can have lifelong effects on both physical and mental health. The Center has programs that offer treatment and support for victims of sexual assault.

This month, we honor the strength and resilience of sexual assault survivors, and we dedicate ourselves to creating a society where sexual violence is not tolerated, where survivors are supported, and where all people have an opportunity to thrive without fear of abuse or assault.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month & National Autism Awareness/Acceptance Month
Learn More: https://conta.cc/4dylbpv
Every child deserves to live in a safe and loving household; yet, for hundreds of thousands of children in the U.S., abuse and neglect are a tragic reality.

Abuse and neglect negatively impact every aspect and stage of a child’s life. Neglect, in particular, is a problem for children with autism, and studies suggest that children on the spectrum are up to three times as likely as their neurotypical peers to be targets of bullying and physical or sexual abuse.

Early diagnosis and intervention help a person receive services and support that can improve their quality of life and provide the opportunity to live fully. For those children and adolescents who do experience abuse and neglect, it is important to ensure access to trauma-informed services and healing.

One of the most important tools to eliminate the tragedy of child abuse and neglect is prevention. This requires that we support and uplift our communities, families, and individuals so that our children can be raised in safe, loving, and healthy environments.

The Center helps to keep children safe by offering programs and services to help build stronger support systems for families.

International Transgender Day of Visibility is March 31st
Learn More: https://conta.cc/3PhU5bN
International Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), established in 2009, is observed annually to recognize the contributions of transgender people and to raise awareness about the discrimination they continue to face worldwide.

Many transgender individuals experience significant challenges, including hate‑motivated violence, social stigma, and barriers to accessing appropriate healthcare. Recent years have seen a rise in anti‑transgender legislation, which has further affected the mental health and well‑being of an already vulnerable population.

Transgender people make up roughly 1% of the U.S. population. An estimated 41% of transgender people have attempted su***de, and approximately one in five have experienced homelessness.

The Center's Bullying & School Violence Advocacy Program offers free assistance to kids K-12 who have been bullied. All services are at no cost and include a 24/7 helpline (1-866-BE-A-HERO/1-866-232-4376).

If you or someone you know may be considering su***de, contact the National Su***de Prevention Lifeline by dialing 988 or calling 1-800-273-8255 or the Crisis Text Line by texting HOME to 741741.

Thank you, Grover Cleveland Charter High School for inviting us to participate in the job fair on March 26, 2026.
Engaging with your students was a meaningful opportunity to share insight into careers in social work, counseling, therapy, and mental health services.
Your students showed curiosity, compassion, and a genuine interest in helping others—qualities that are at the heart of our profession. It was inspiring to connect with the next generation of future social workers, counselors, and therapists who may one day make a profound difference in their communities.
