On March 18, KYCC’s Menlo Family Center<\/a> hosted \u00abMenlo Family Night,\u00bb a family-friendly event that promoted healthy parent-child relationships and strong families. Over 80 children and their families attended, getting to know neighbors and\u00a0staff\u00a0at the Menlo Family Apartments, while learning about KYCC\u2019s services and other community resources.<\/p>\n

There was a one-hour long \u201cProtective Factors\u201d workshop facilitated by Denise Serrette from Para Los Ninos<\/a>, as part of Best Start Metro LA<\/a>, a sustainable, organized community partnership that maintains healthy and safe neighborhoods for children and families. Menlo Family Center is a subcontractor of the Metro PAS (Prevention and After-Care Services) program, which provides resources to referred families, including Menlo Family Apartment residents.<\/p>\n

Protective Factors are measured steps for families to become stronger. They include concrete support in time of need; parental resilience; knowledge of child development; social connections; socioemotional competence of children; and the promotion of healthy parent-child relationships.<\/p>\n

Our community partners Las Fotos Project<\/a> took professional family portraits that we framed and gifted to the Menlo families. Many of our families have never had a family portrait, and KYCC wanted a memento from the event to remind them of their family bonds.<\/p>\n

KYCC<\/a> is grateful to L.A. Dodgers\u2019 Hyun-Jin Ryu<\/a> for donating $5,000 worth of clothing and footwear to the Menlo children, and Schools on Wheels<\/a> gifted backpacks and school supplies. Special thanks to the Bank of America<\/a> volunteers who helped out at the event.<\/p>\n
