Community Outreach
We publish a Chinese-language newsletter three times a year and coordinate community education and presentations to other agencies in the area.

Interactive Parent-Child Workshop
The workshop is designed for Cantonese-speaking families with children from kindergarten to 4th grade. This unique workshop series will be conducted in a small-group format, with joint parent-child sessions as well as parents-only and children-only breakout groups. The goals of the workshop are to improve parent-child relationships and enhance effective parenting skills. Topics covered include parental self-control, reducing conflicts among caregivers, positive communications, limit-setting, rewards and consequences. Instructors will observe and coach interactive skills practice sessions in real-time, utilizing our state-of-the-art one-way mirror, to help ensure that classroom learning can be translated into actual behavioral change. Sessions are facilitated in Cantonese. There is a charge of $10 per family for the entire series.

Our next series begins on October 1, 2011, and runs through November 19, 2011. Sessions will take place on Saturday mornings from 9:30am to 11:30am at Cameron House. Space is limited, so please sign up soon! For more information or to enroll, please contact Ming Quan Chang at (415) 781-0401 ext 128.

Family Day
Family Day is an event through which we promote family harmony and wellness by providing information and resources that will help families build public and community awareness. We invite representatives from different organizations to be guest workshop speakers to talk about issues, such as health care, parenting, legal assistance, safety, mental health and communication with children and youth.

Besides offering morning and afternoon workshops to adults, we also offer organized and supervised activities for families with children. Registering before the event is required.

June Outing
The June outing is an annual event offered to the active members of our Chinese Cancer Support Group and Cantonese Women’s Support Group. Many of our members are struggling and facing many challenges, such as fighting a life-threatening illness, working long hours to make ends meet, raising children in a society that they are unfamiliar with, dealing with trauma, and/or surviving the abuse of a domestic partner.

This is an opportunity for families to get away from these worries for a day to enjoy, explore and learn new things outside of San Francisco, especially since the families do not have access to transportation or know how to access public transportation. It is a time for fun, relaxation, and fellowship.
