Purple isn’t just a color—it’s a statement. 💜 Today, our staff across different departments came together for Purple Thursday to speak out against domestic violence. They shared powerful statistics, personal reflections and why wearing purple matters to them.

At The Whole Child, this work goes far beyond awareness. It’s about showing up, standing with survivors and amplifying the voices that too often go unheard.

Watch to feel the power of what Purple Thursday represents.

The Whole Child is so incredibly proud to announce that our Nutrition Education program is the recipient of the prestigious Good Food Champion Award for Food Day 2025! Our CalFresh nutrition educators are enthusiastic ambassadors for healthy food choices and daily physical activity, teaching thousands of kids and adults about healthy living habits each year. Food Day in Los Angeles County raises awareness about nutrition and encourages communities to make informed, health-conscious food choices.

This week, our Parent Enrichment Team traveled to Baltimore for the ZERO TO THREE Annual Conference — a national gathering of early childhood professionals dedicated to ensuring every child has the best start in life.

Our team didn’t just attend — they presented their work on car seat safety outreach, sharing how we use these efforts to build trust with families, strengthen partnerships, and open doors to long-term support.

Through their interactive board and conversations with attendees, they showcased how The Whole Child connects education with impact, creating safer communities for children and families.

And they’re not done yet — next up, they’re heading to Puerto Rico for the Parents as Teachers International Conference, where they’ll continue to share their innovative work on a national stage.

Meet Joel Castañeda, Resident Coordinator at The Whole Child. Joel shares how his Mexican heritage—rooted in culture, family and resilience—shaped who he is today and inspires his passion to support families in need.

Just as his dad’s seafood dishes from Nayarit carried tradition and care, Joel carries those same values into his work, walking alongside families as they build brighter futures.

Stay tuned all month as we continue to celebrate our staff, traditions, and the strength of the Hispanic community.

This month we’re celebrating Joseline Morales, ACSW, Bilingual Therapist, for her leadership in breast cancer awareness. Joseline was honored to be asked by her church, New Season in Downey, in partnership with Convoy of Hope, to help coordinate a community outreach initiative with the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Her role included breast health training, recruiting and organizing volunteers, and spreading awareness and hope to women in the community.

As Joseline shared, “There is so much value in serving the community with our time and resources. Not only is it rewarding but we also empower a community of women to be my sister’s keeper and advocate for one another by providing educational information and a safe space to learn proper self-breast examinations, while emphasizing the importance of scheduling regular clinical breast exams and mammograms.”

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a delicious and healthy twist!

Our CalFresh Healthy Living team is sharing Mango Chile Relleno al Carbon—a vibrant dish that combines the sweetness of mangos with the spice of poblano peppers. Not only is it full of flavor, but it’s also a healthy option you can make at home in just 25 minutes!

A big thank you to our CalFresh Healthy Living team for bringing nutritious and culturally rich recipes to our community.

No one should ever feel alone.

As we continue celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re honored to highlight one of our Parent Enrichment families — the Morales Bonilla Family!

They shared a cherished tradition from their hometown of San Jerónimo Ocotitlán, Puebla: carnaval, a celebration filled with dance, music and vibrant, colorful costumes.
