Sock Drive for Homeless Feet Update

Thanks to your generous donations, we collected 202 pairs of socks. The socks will be distributed to the various homeless shelters/programs in Ventura County.   Thank you for helping keep some of the homeless feet warm this Winter Season!

Positive Parenting and Strengthening Families

Yoga is a great tool for reducing stress, which may be a cause for misbehavior in children with challenging behaviors. Stress is often the cause of parents' overreaction, making those behaviors worse. Try some deep breathing and/or yoga exercises for yourself or your child. Better yet, do them together!
