Fall is in the air and as the days become shorter, we can look forward to the beautiful leaves changing colors and the excitement this season brings. Fall shifts us into thinking about the upcoming holiday season and the quickly approaching Nevada Day and Halloween celebrations. There are many activities happening throughout October, please check out the list of ideas below for you and your family.
October has two public awareness distinctions that are important to The Children’s Cabinet's mission of keeping children safe and families together. It is National Bullying Prevention Month and National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. In Nevada schools, SafeVoice is an anonymous reporting system that students can call, or use digitally, to submit tips concerning their safety or the safety of others. You can find SafeVoice at www.safevoicenv.org, by calling 833-216-SAFE, or download the SafeVoice app to a mobile device.
The Children's Cabinet's Safe Place program in Northern Nevada is a 24/7 resource for youth in crisis. We partner with area businesses (all marked with bright yellow signs) to provide a network of "safe places" where youth can go for immediate help. Youth can also dial our Safe Place hotline at 1-800-536-4588 or TEXT "SAFE" with their current location to 4HELP (4457) to reach a Children's Cabinet Case Manager. You may see our Safe Place team out in the community doing school and street outreach making sure youth know about Safe Place and the safety and counseling resources available to them.
Thank you for your support and for helping spread the word about The Children’s Cabinet’s mission and programs.
