HELP SHAPE YOUR COMMUNITY BY TAKING A QUICK HEALTH SURVEY
The County of Santa Clara Public Health Department is conducting an online health survey to understand the health needs of residents just like you!
You have an important role to play if you receive an invitation in the mail to participate. If you choose to participate, your answers will remain anonymous and provide valuable information that will help shape our community. You will also be able to access the anonymous data online. Isn't that cool?
Public Health uses the data to make informed
decisions about policies and programs, and provide insight into our health-related risk behaviors, chronic health conditions, and use of preventive services.

Water is always a precious resource in Morgan Hill and with this in mind, our permanent watering restrictions have been designed to best manage the City's potable water supply. These restrictions will help us avoid or minimize the effects of drought, climate change and the unreliability of the imported water infrastructure that serves the City of Morgan Hill.
From November 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019, watering is limited to Wednesdays only.
- Irrigation is allowed before 9 AM or after 7 PM
- Watering is limited to no more than 15 minutes per station

DEVELOPMENTAL ASSET
OF THE MONTH
|
|
| |
Asset #1 - FAMILY SUPPORT
|
Tips to Help You Implement Asset #1: Family Support
- Spend time with your youth doing an activity together such as: listen to music together, take a walk or just hang out and get to know your youth
- Give your youth meaningful roles in the home or ask them for their advice about an important matter at home.
- Know your youth's friends and their parents.
- Ask how their day was or maybe follow up with a past conversation to see how they are doing.
Developmental assets are the positive values, relationships, skills and experiences that help youth and teens thrive. Young people with high asset levels are most likely to make healthy choices, while those with lower asset levels are more likely to get involved with negative or risky behaviors like violence, trouble in school, drug and alcohol use and more. The Search Institute of Minneapolis created the developmental assets framework. For more information, visit
