- With school closures, mandated reporters are no longer able to monitor children’s well-being in person. The Department of Family and Children’s Services (DFCS) and FIRST 5 Santa Clara County are encouraging Santa Clara County residents to be the advocates for youth who may be experiencing trauma, abuse, or neglect. We all have a responsibility, now more than ever, to mitigate whatever potential increased risk these additional stressors pose on individuals, families, and systems. There are actions each one of us can take to reduce the stress and burden on our communities during this time. Deliver or send a meal. Take a break or ask your partner to step in and help. Check in on your neighbor to ensure they have what they need. Most of all, remember, there is no way to be a perfect parent but millions of ways to be a good one – so give yourself and your children an extra dose of compassion and love during these challenging days. Connect, Support and Report - If you have concerns for the care and supervision of Santa Clara County children and youth, please contact 1-833-SCC-KIDS (1-833-722-5437). You can be the bridge. This message is brought to you by the Santa Clara County Child Abuse Prevention Council, Department of Family & Children’s Services, FIRST 5 Santa Clara County and the Santa Clara County Office of Education. For Additional Support for Parents & Caregivers United Way Bay Area at 2-1-1 or the Bay Area T.A.L.K Line at (415) 441-5437 Providing 24-hour parental support for parents & caregivers.
