Bill Text - SCR-161 California Runaway and Homeless Youth Prevention Month.
The factors impacting youth homelessness are complex and differ from those impacting other homeless populations; andWHEREAS, Runaway and homeless youth who live on the street are victims of physical abuse, sexual exploitation, human trafficking, and crime in untold numbers. Each year an estimated 300,000 youth are either victims, or at risk of becoming victims, of commercial sexual exploitation. Of these victimized children, approximately 60 percent are homeless; andWHEREAS, Homeless youth tend to start using drugs at a younger age, often before 15 years of age. Early drug use and abuse is predictive of serious adult addiction problems and long-term homelessness; andWHEREAS, Youths who “age out” of the foster care system are at an increased risk of homelessness and represent an estimated 20 percent of the 20,000 youth who leave foster care and are currently homeless; andWHEREAS, Many of these youths are on the street because they feel there are no other options open to them; andWHEREAS, The number of emergency shelter beds available to homeless youth has dropped from 587 beds in 1990 to 555 beds in 2010, as of the last comprehensive survey in 2010; and WHEREAS, Providing safe, stable, and permanent housing for runaway and homeless youth is a family, community, state, and national priority, and homeless youth are considered a unique population in the homeless community by the United States Interagency Council on Homelessness; andWHEREAS, The future well-being of our state depends on the value we place on our youth, and, in particular, on our actions to provide the most vulnerable young people in the state with opportunities to acquire the knowledge, skills, and abilities they need to find and maintain stable housing and develop into healthy and productive adults; andWHEREAS, The number of effective programs providing services and support to runaway and homeless youth in California is a fraction of what is needed to fully address the needs of these young people, as only 20 of California’s 58 counties have

This lack of impulse control, combined with online anonymity could lead teens and tweens to engage in dangerous behaviors such as cyberbullying, inappropriate photo or video uploads, illegal downloads, and meeting strangers. Our youth are creating a digital footprint that can last a long time in cyberspace. Try and teach your kids to self-reflect before they self-reveal so that they have safer and more positive online interactions. A great resource is commonsensemedia.org. They have a section for Distance Learning Resources including some great ideas to help kids socialize safely online and resources for coping with stress. https://wideopenschool.org/programs/family/prek-5/learning-at-home/Family Internet & Mobile Agreement (PDF)Quick Internet Safety Quiz (PDF)

Reducing Stress and Building Resiliency in children during the Covid-19 PandemicLauren Brown, MFT School Program Coordinator K-8Many of us are now sheltering in place and our children are home with us and are likely facing the same anxieties we are. Fear of the unknown, lack of control over an ever-changing situation and a profound disruption to our daily lives, the likes which we have never seen before, are all simultaneously creating feelings of anxiety, fear and stress.This is not the time to shut down or to not communicate with our kids to “protect them”. They are already impacted. Kids can develop anxiety vicariously by watching and listening to their parents experience symptoms of anxiety. And while stress is an inevitable part of life, managing it improperly can lead to unhealthy habits and behavior that can upend family stability.Research shows that age appropriate, open communication is far better at easing fears than keeping kids in the dark or “protecting them”. Ask your kids how they are feeling. If they are younger, and don’t have a lot of experience talking about how they feel, have them describe their feelings using colors or animals. Sometimes it is easier for younger kids to express themselves using external things.
No Kids? How Being Childfree Impacts Retirement Planning - CalPERS PERSpective
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that close to 70% of today’s 65-year-olds will require long-term care for an average of three years. Some retirees may be able to rely on friends or family for help, but others most likely will cover those costs out of pocket. To estimate the costs of different levels of long-term care in your area, use Genworth’s Cost of Care calculator.

What else is there to consider?

Designate a CalPERS special power of attorney to conduct important CalPERS business for you, should you become unable to do so yourself.
You might also consider creating a health care directive to outline the type of medical treatment you do or do not want.
A health care proxy or medical power of attorney is a document that names a trusted person appointed by you to act on your behalf should you encounter a medical emergency. They should be familiar with your wishes and comfortable carrying them out.
As you approach your later years, plan for your assets and estate. Take an inventory of everything you possess, from your car to your bank accounts. Include your digital assets as well, like social media accounts, online shopping accounts, and websites. Also consider your pets! Prepare an estate plan either online or with an estate attorney and name someone you trust as the executor.
Being childfree means you might not want to have an excess of money remaining upon your death unless you plan to give it to loved ones or donate to a charity. By working with a financial advisor, you can determine how much money you want to preserve and how much you want to spend.

If you’re childfree you’ve already flipped the script on traditional life goals and milestones, so consider what else you want to experience and achieve. What will bring you fulfillment? A strong financial foundation will support your life choices.

Child Protective Services (CPS)	

The CPS is the major system of intervention of child abuse and neglect in California. Existing law provides for services to abused and neglected children and their families. The CPS goal is to keep the child in his/her own home when it is safe, and when the child is at risk, to develop an alternate plan as quickly as possible.When a referral is received, the social service staff obtains facts from the person making the referral to determine if the referral alleges abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The emergency response staff determines if an in-person response is indicated. Whenever a report indicates the need for protection, CPS will:Accept the referralIntervene in the crisis, if required, developing an emergency plan with the goal of keeping children in their home if possible.Gather facts, identify and assess problems, put a plan in place to mitigate them.Provide services, establish goals, identify resources and time frames, engage families in developing and implement the plan.Offer Family Preservation and Support Services to families.When safe close the case.Children may be able to remain safely in the home while the family receives services. If it is determined that a child cannot remain in the home, even with family preservation and support services, then an alternative living arrangement is established. CPS must first consider placing the child with a non-custodial parent, a close relative, or a close friend before considering a foster home placement. Foster placement is arranged in the most family-like setting that is located close to the parent's home consistent with the best interests of the child.In most cases, 18 months of services are provided to children and their families when a child has been removed from the home and the family is making progress toward reunification.

Access to abortion People of all ages have the absolute right to abortion through the 24th week of pregnancy.   After 24 weeks, abortion is permitted if your medical provider decides your fetus is not viable or your life, physical health, or mental health is at risk.   If you are a minor in New York, you do not need your parents’ permission to get birth control, abortion, prenatal care, or other reproductive health services.  Confidentiality  Health care providers generally cannot share medical records or information about reproductive health care services — including abortion, birth control, and testing and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases — with your partner, parents, guardians, or anyone else without your permission.   Your employer cannot access personal information about your or your partner’s reproductive-health decisions.

How to Talk to a School Age Child about a Suicide Attempt in Your Family
 
It is important to talk to your child about the suicide attempt to help her understand what has happened. Without support of family/friends, children may try to make sense of this confusing situation themselves.
Sometimes children blame themselves for something they may or may not have done.
When stressed, a child may exhibit changes in behavior, such as acting out, trouble sleeping, or becoming more attached due to insecure, anxious or tearful feelings. It is important to instill a sense of hope, that their parent/relative can get help and get well.

Talking to School Age Children about a Suicide Attempt

Cómo hablar con su hijo sobre un intento de suicidio en su familia - Niños de Edad Escolar

When should you talk to your school age child?

If your child was exposed to the crisis and traumatized, she will need some basic understanding of what happened.
If your child was elsewhere and not exposed, consider what she needs to know to make sense of the changes happening in her life.
The goal is not to overwhelm the child with information, but to answer questions in a calm, non-judgmental way, so she is not afraid to ask more questions.
If marriage or family problems contributed to a suicide attempt, avoid details that would put your child in the middle, between parents or other family members.
