In the recent National Center for Youth Law podcast episode, “A Flourishing Start: ABC’s of Child & Family Well-being,” the host speaks to Pacific Clinics’ Birth to Five coordinator, Danielle Jovanelly-Godfrey, and another guest to discuss generational trauma, how it manifests in young and the well-being of mothers and caregivers. During the conversation, Danielle says, “For babies or young children, the physiological systems will manifest in sleeping patterns, feeding, irritability or tantrums; or while in utero and is exposed to increased levels of stress or substances can cause secondary issues.” With 12 years of mental health experience, Danielle is passionate about helping children and their caregivers with their mental health struggles. Having witnessed the age spectrum of youth who have mental health challenges, she finds her work fulfilling to be able to prevent mental health struggles of both children and caregivers to help communities thrive.

October is LGBTQ+ History, and the Pacific Clinics Public Relations (PR) Team asked a member of our LGBTQ+ Education Advancement and Development of Services (LEADS) Network, what this month means to them. Name: Nikkolson Ang, mental health therapist Region: LA / South Coast Regions – East Pronouns: He/They PR Team: What does LGBTQ+ History Month mean to you? Nikkolson: LGBTQ+ History Month means a time and space for individuals and groups to reflect on the monumental sacrifices the community has made for the sake of progress. It is a reminder that the path was paved with blood, sweat, and tears to get to where the community is today. It is a reminder that work done now will be a part of this month since the fight is not over, and the lives of those in the LGBTQ+ community continue to be threatened and under attack. PR Team: How will you celebrate/acknowledge this month and share it with colleagues, family members, or friends? Nikkolson: Provide education on activism work throughout history past Stonewall Riots. I also want to bring attention to the current issues the community faces to spur collaboration against oppressive systems in place that disproportionately affect the members of the LGBTQ+ community.
