22 <br /> are not checking ID. Restaurants are doing a better job, but they are still concerned about what happens <br /> once it's in the home. While they recognize that it isn't a concern for a lot of youth, it is a risk factor for <br /> those youth who are. <br /> Orange Partnership has working with a number of partners on the need for parent education. They became <br /> aware through the DA's office that there are no specific programs for parents when cited with, for <br /> example, aiding and abetting and there is a need for education. For example, there was one instance this <br /> past year where a parent was charged with aiding and abetting because she provided alcohol to her minor <br /> daughter and friend. The parent's rationale was that they are going to drink anyway, so let's provide a safe <br /> space. After the parent was charged,they learned that the only real alcohol education program was for <br /> businesses on how to be a responsible alcohol seller. There hasn't been a lot of cases, but when there is, <br /> where can there education and intervention for the parent, or adult. So, if anyone is interested in being <br /> part of this discussion,please let Gayane know. <br /> The Health Department is trying to centralize COVID information and has lots of resources available and <br /> in multiple languages.

The only caveat is that the data for Orange is compiled in with the region for some parts. <br /> Last meeting Lia and Val mentioned the professional development opportunity they were able to attend <br /> with funding from JCPC and Bernard had asked if they could briefly share what they learned. The training <br /> was two series on Real Talk about Race. The youth and families they work with are really picking up on <br /> race and racism and having questions about it. The majority of the training was about how to sustain <br /> meaningful conversation and her main takeaway was on reflective listening and repeating back the <br /> content and emotion. If folks are interested in learning, Lia would be happy to share. <br /> Next JCPC Meeting <br /> October 2,2020 . 12prn-2pm <br /> Virtual GoToMeeting <br />
