Anger Management Classes
If the Court orders parties to attend anger management classes, this is usually because a determination has been made that a parent can benefit from anger management skills, tools and knowledge to successfully and safely interact with the other parent and children. Generally, a parent attends an  anger management group (usually a minimum of 14 weeks) and files a certificate of completion with the Clerk of the Court. If both parents are ordered to attend Anger Management classes, the parents will attend separate classes. However, parties can also attend individual counseling that addresses anger management, if so ordered and approved by the Court. The following agencies provide anger management classes in Tulare County.  If you are not sure which classes to take, please review your Order for Referral to Services for specific information.

This is a 52-week group series and a completion certificate is required to be filed with the Clerk of the Court. Per Family Code 3044, if a finding of domestic violence has been made by a Court, the parent must successfully complete a Batterer's Intervention Program before any modification to custody or visitation can occur. The following agencies provide Batterer's Intervention Programs in Tulare County.
California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Specifically, All‑County Letter 23‑105 encourages local child welfare agencies to: refer families with economic needs to available services; develop clear policies and procedures for determining what constitutes “economic disadvantage,” and when a child may be at substantial risk of suffering serious physical harm or illness; and otherwise review their existing policies and procedures to align with these legislative provisions.
State‑Level Aggregated Data Around Underlying Causes of Neglect Are Limited. As shown by Figure 1, the majority of families who become involved with the child welfare system are referred to the system due to allegations of neglect. However, the state’s current child welfare data system does not provide quantifiable data about the harm or risk to the child underlying neglect cases. Instead, understanding the basis of investigated and substantiated neglect allegations requires reviewing counties’ narrative reports for individual cases. As shown by Figure 2, one recent study reviewed a sample of qualitative information from investigations and offers insight into common types of investigated neglect and parental risk factors; however, systematic data are not available. 
Decision‑Making Tools and Training for Social Workers
Structured Decision MakingÂ® (SDM) Tools Employed by Social Workers Help Guide Various Decisions. As noted below, California’s child welfare social workers use standardized decision‑making tools, which are designed to help them navigate decision points and employ more uniform standards across cases. The specific tools used in California are called SDM tools. (These are proprietary tools developed and maintained by a third‑party contractor.) Since 2016, all of California’s 58 counties have been using a suite of SDM tools, including a number of specific point‑in‑time decision‑making assessments, each aiming to guide social workers in determining the best next steps for the youth and family in question. California’s SDM assessment tools currently include the specific tools outlined in Figure 17. 

Each tool includes a series of questions and decision trees that guide social workers to recommended actions and next steps based on calculated risk scores. However, social workers make the ultimate decision about next steps. For example, if a social worker believes that the risk score does not accurately portray the household’s actual risk level, the social worker may increase or decrease the risk level and provide an explanation for the decision.
Rocky Mountain MIRECC for Suicide Prevention - Talking to Kids (T2K) about Suicide - MIRECC / CoE
School age children also receive special comfort from physical as well as verbal expressions of affection, such as hugs. Offer extra support and attention during this time (such as games, reading together and physical closeness).
Children of school age, particularly as they approach the teen years will benefit from knowing that they play a valuable role in the family, and can contribute by helping with chores, participating in family volunteer activities, or helping to plan a family member’s return from the hospital.
As the parent/relative who has been hospitalized becomes stable, visiting him in the hospital, and attending a family therapy session with a mental health professional could be quite helpful and reassuring.
Consider coordinating with your child’s school by notifying a school counselor or trusted teacher about the situation so that they may support your child and be alert for any signs of prolonged or excessive distress or behavioral concerns.
Older school age children especially may benefit from discussing boundaries about disclosing information with friends, classmates and on social media outlets.

What to say to your child

Try To

Examples

Start with her understanding of the situation.

“I want to talk to you about what happened with Dad. What do you remember from last night?”

Describe what has happened based upon her awareness and understanding of the situation, using age-appropriate language.

“Mom’s had a difficult time the past couple months, and felt badly enough last night that she hurt herself.”

Inform your child about emotional struggles.

“Grandpa has been feeling depressed lately. That sometimes makes it hard for him to think of solutions or make healthy choices.”

Address guilt, blame, shame, and responsibility.

“Sometimes kids can feel like they did something wrong, or that they’re to blame. I want you to know that what’s happening isn’t anyone’s fault.”

Assure her that her family member is getting treatment/care.

“The doctors at the hospital are helping your sister. They are talking with her and helping her feel better.”

Let her know that her daily routine will stay the same.

“Even though it is different that Mom is not here, you will still go to school tomorrow.”

Cómo hablar con su hijo sobre un intento de suicidio en su familia - Adolescentes

When should you talk to your teenage child?

If your teenager was exposed to the crisis and traumatized, he will need some basic understanding of what happened.
Even if he was not exposed to the suicide attempt, you should share the basics of the attempt with him, including any obvious injuries, and let his questions guide you from there. Help him make sense of what happened in the context of mental illness (and/or substance abuse), and include the support of a mental health professional in this conversation if you are not familiar with mental illness.
If marriage or family problems contributed to a suicide attempt, avoid details that would put the teenager in the middle, between the parents or other family members.
The goal is to answer his questions in a calm, non-judgmental way, so he won’t be afraid to ask more questions.

How should you talk with your child?

Pick a place that is private, where your teenager will feel free to express himself. Try to provide multiple opportunities to talk, even when a teen seems unresponsive or reluctant.
Provide a safe space for your teen to express even uncomfortable feelings, including anger. Ask him questions that will help him open up to you.
Be aware of your own feelings and how you are coming across. Your teenager may be more likely to listen if you appear calm and approachable.
If your family member is in the hospital, talk to your teenager as soon as possible. Keep checking in with your teenager. This will send the message that you are open to answering questions over time. Be honest.
Offer extra support, affection and attention during this time (family meals, time together).
Be prepared to discuss concerns about whether your teenager is at risk for similar behaviors.

Other ways to support your teenager:

For the younger teens, help them keep healthy structure in their daily routines, such as homework time, dinnertime, and bedtime routines.

California’s Child Welfare System: Addressing Disproportionalities and Disparities
Specifically, this research examined total public benefits spending in all 50 states in 2010‑2017, and found an increase of $1,000 in public assistance spending per person living in poverty was associated with more than a 4 percent reduction in child maltreatment allegations, 2 percent reduction in foster care placements, and nearly 8 percent reduction in child fatalities. 

Options to Begin to Address Disproportionalities
This section lays out front‑end policy options for the Legislature as it considers how to begin to address disproportionalities and disparities present in the child welfare system. These options aim to continue ensuring child safety is prioritized while mitigating trauma and preventing unnecessary child welfare system involvement. Some of the options laid out in this section would be significant changes. Additionally, many of these options would introduce new costs, which—given the parameters of 2011 realignment—would fall primarily to the state. Accordingly, the Legislature also would need to consider these fiscal implications and associated trade‑offs. Policy changes of this magnitude likely would take multiple years, and extensive and ongoing consultation with key stakeholders, to implement effectively. Given the complex and interwoven factors contributing to disproportionalities and disparities, addressing them will require broad efforts both across the child welfare system and policy areas external to the system. 
In addition, as noted throughout this report, there are current administration efforts occurring in parallel to these options, such as CWC’s mandated reporting task force, DSS’s focus groups around redesigning the standard mandated reporter training modules, and the community pathway advisory committee. As the Legislature considers the options in this report, it may wish also to consider how it would like to be kept up to date and/or provide input through these ongoing efforts. Additionally, for any actions the Legislature chooses to take, it also may wish to consider how to incorporate findings from the ongoing administration efforts.
Reporting Suspected Maltreatment
Review Policies and Standardize Training for Most Frequent Mandated Reporters. Currently, mandated reporters are not required by the state to receive standardized training (and most are not required to participate in training at all).
Temporary Judge Program: Sacramento Superior Court

The court uses temporary judges to preside over the Family Law Settlement Conference Program at the 
 
 William R. Ridgeway Family Relations Courthouse. This program provides facilitated settlement conferences for those
 cases scheduled for a contested family law trial. Each Settlement Conference uses two temporary judges, working
 in tandem, to help parties resolve their issues short of trial. The Family Law Settlement Conference Program is
 one of the most valuable forms of alternative dispute resolution in the Sacramento Superior Court.
Traffic

 Temporary judges volunteering their services in the Traffic division of the court will serve 
 at the Carol Miller Justice Center.
 With approximately 98,000 infraction cases filed in 2021 in Sacramento, the Traffic division is one of the
 busiest areas in the court. Temporary judges serve by presiding as a trial judge, hearing law and motion matters
 only as they pertain to the trial before them.
Small Claims

 The Sacramento Superior Court filed approximately 2,300 new small claims cases in 2021. 
 It is in this venue that most citizens resolve their civil disputes. Temporary judges 
 serving in the Small Claims division preside over trials, hearing only such law and motion 
 matters as may pertain to the trial before them.
