World Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Awareness Day

6/17/2016

For every case of reported elder abuse, another 24 go unreported. Help us stop this cycle. Join us in the fight against elder abuse.

CID joined San Mateo County Supervisor Adrienne Tissier and the Elder and Dependent Adult Protection Team as they spoke at this vigil on the importance of preventing elder and dependent abuse. Older adult abuse has been on the rise.

As San Mateo County’s older adult population grows, there is more of a need than ever to protect our older and dependent adults.

Find more information at www.smchealth.org/ElderAbuse

This event is supported by the Elder and Dependent Adult Protection Team (EDAPT) which is a partnership between the San Mateo County’s Health System’s Aging and Adult Services, District Attorney’s Office and County Counsel’s Office. EDAPT is funded by Measure A.

KidPower Parent-Youth Workshops

4/14/2016

Parent-Youth Workshop For CCS San Mateo youth and their parents

In this active, upbeat workshop, kids, teens and young adults practice using “People Safety” skills in everyday life situations. People Safety skills help prevent problems with peers, family, and strangers. The skills also help strengthen important relationships by improving communication. Practicing People Safety skills can build confidence and improve safety with people at school, in the neighborhood, at home, online -- everywhere!

Using activities and examples relevant to young people ages 8-21, we’ll practice skills to:

• Be and act aware and confident
• Check with adults if anything seems unsafe
• Move away from possible problems
• Follow Stranger Safety rules
• Stay safe from hurtful words
• Use voice as a safety tool
• Set clear boundaries
• Make safety plans so outings are more fun
• Say “No” or “Stop” clearly and respectfully
• Deal with other kids poking, pushing, grabbing, etc.
• Use safety plans if you’re lost in a store, park, or library
• Get help from busy adults - and persist!
