Child Abuse Prevention Council News - October 2014

CAPC Newsletter

October 2014

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month

Hello friends of CAPC!

In recognition of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month Amador CAPC would like to remind everyone that children are affected in many ways by violence in the home. Whether it is directed at them or not. Whether it is physical, verbal, emotional or otherwise.

The Hands and Words are not for Hurting Pledge is a step families can take to start a conversation about how we may hurt others or ourselves and the steps we can take to make positive changes.

Please help share the work we do and forward this to your friends and colleagues too.

Thank you for everything you do to help prevent child abuse in Amador County!

Hands & Words are not for Hurting

October 19-25, 2014

Take the pledge:

"I will not use my hands or words for hurting myself or others."®

These thirteen words help us pay attention to the things we say and do to ourselves and others that causes pain.

This year October 19-25 is the national Hands and Words Are Not For Hurting campaign. The Pledge encourages dialogue about all forms of abuse and violence...from name calling, belittling, put downs, and negative self talk (I'm stupid, ugly...) words that can escalate to physical violence and abuse.

Please join with hundreds of thousands of children and adults around the world who have taken the "Purple Hands & Words Pledge:"

Trace your hand on purple paper, sign your name and age.
Post your pledge wherever people live and work together to serve as a visual reminder of your personal commitment to stop and think before you say or do anything hurtful.
Discuss with your family the choices that every member makes when they become angry or upset. Everyone gets angry. Everyone disagrees.
Anger is a feeling. Abuse and Violence is Always a Choice.
Discuss what you will not do with your hands and words when you are angry.
Promise not to call each other names, put each other down, hit, slap, kick, spit....
Never touch anyone when you are angry.

Important! Never shake a baby or young child. If you become angry or frustrated when caring for a baby or young child, do not have the child in your arms. Put the child in a safe place until you are calm or someone else can care for the child.

It is always OK to ask for help.

About Preston Castle Foundation

The strikingly beautiful Romanesque style Preston Castle, on a hill in Ione, was actually the administration building for the Preston School of Industry, the first major attempt in California at rehabilitating, instead of just imprisoning, young offenders. Opened in 1894, the Preston School of Industry became a leader in the juvenile prison reform movement by giving convicted boys a real chance at life by educating them not only in academics, but in all of the useful trades of the time. Closed in 1960, when the Preston Youth Authority moved into a new administration building down the hill, the Preston Castle was left to deteriorate due to weather, vandalism, and general neglect. It now serves as a vacant, but vitally important landmark for Ione, Amador County, and the Motherlode. It is aCalifornia State Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Mission of the Preston Castle Foundation is to preserve, rehabilitate, and utilize the historic Preston Castle site. This year we are pushing hard to obtain our own utility connections that will ultimately lead to acquiring the title to the property. To help raise money for this important project, the Foundation sponsors several fund raising events throughout the year. The PCF is currently not allowed to bring guests inside the Castle, but outside events are permitted. We continue to work with the State Fire Marshal on an acceptable solution as well as with our landlord, the State of California, to obtain the deed to the property. Either of these events will allow guests inside the Castle. If they do not occur in time, the Wine Tasting and Tour will be held entirely outside, utilizing the numerous shaded areas on the Castle grounds.
