Jan/Feb 2020 Newsletter

Live & Love Healthy Day
February is Teen Dating Violence Awareness Month and National Children’s Dental Health Month. We held an outreach event "Live & Love Healthy Day" on February 21 at the Bayview Hunters Point YMCA. About 40 came by. The children received free books and balloons from a magic show and had lots of fun playing games.

On display were domestic violence exhibits focusing on (teen) cyberbullying and dating violence; and we set up different tables for information and resources on family support, family oral health, mental health, nutrition, parent-child bonding and community resources.

We took the opportunity to spread the word about the 2020 Census.

In addition to APA Family Support Services, "Live & Love Healthy Day" community outreach event was supported by Asian Pacific Islander Family Resources Network, City and County of San Francisco, First 5 San Francisco, DOSW, La Casa de las Madres, San Francisco District Attorney's Office, and San Francisco Police Department.
