Legal permanent residency or citizenship can be yours.

Becoming a U.S. citizen is a dream for many, and there are different ways to achieve that. Most people will first apply to become a legal permanent resident, and then become a naturalized citizen. You can also gain citizenship through marriage, your parents, or military service.

El Concilio has been providing free and low-cost bilingual citizenship preparation and immigration legal services since 1968. We have the experience and expertise to help you navigate this exciting new world of opportunity. Our Immigration Legal Services team provides low-cost or no-cost immigration services for immigrants, refugees, asylees, Dreamers, victims of domestic violence. and low-income immigrants.

Our services are here to help everyone, offering comprehensive immigration legal services for naturalization application filings, legal permanent resident status, renewal services, eligibility screenings, and all application filings, as well as an innovative, bilingual citizenship preparation instruction program.

Navigating the immigration system can be complicated.

Our New American Citizenship Pathways campaign represents El Concilio's unique approach to provide seamless immigration services across the various services needed by those seeking citizenship. We also assist clients in requesting waivers of application fees, allowing many to gain immigration benefits that would otherwise be unattainable.

Distinguishing El Concilio from others is our history of helping undocumented working-immigrants attain legal status and a green card, bringing them out of the shadows and empowering them with the ability to get better jobs and provide security and stability for them, their families and the community.

The Department of Social Services may, to the extent the Department deems necessary to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, allow any state monthly face-to-face caseworker visitation requirement, standard, or criteria set forth in the Welfare and Institutions Code sections 16501.1, subdivision (l), 16516.5, and 16516.6, as well as accompanying regulations or other written directives, policies or procedures, to be accomplished through videoconferencing, instead of in-person contact. This flexibility shall only be utilized by caseworkers in keeping with guidance from the Department and after a child-specific decision based on the training and experience of the social worker, considering all available information, that an in-person visit is not necessary to ensure the child's safety and well-being. Any flexibility granted pursuant to this paragraph shall not waive or conflict with applicable federal requirements in United States Code, Title 42, sections 622, subdivision (b)(17) and 624, subdivision (f), as modified for emergency waivers in guidance issued March 18, 2020, in the Child Welfare Policy Manual Title IV-B, section 7.3, question 8and shall expire at the end of the emergency declaration, in 90 days, or sooner as determined by the Department.

What is Child Abuse?

Physical abuse

Any non-accidental act that results in physical injury (bruises, bite marks, burns, abrasions, lacerations, fractures, internal injuries)

Can be discipline that went too far and left bruises or otherwise injured a child

Shaken Baby Syndrome

Neglect

Emotional Abuse

Belittling, screaming, threatening a child to the point that they withdraw, act out, have problems with basic functioning (eating, sleeping, concentrating at school, etc.)

Exposing a child to violence (verbal or physical) in the home that leads to problems with basic functioning

Sexual Abuse
An adult engaging in any sexual act with a minor

Failing to meet basic needs in terms of food, clothing, shelter, medical care or supervision

Failing to protect a child from someone abusing them in some way

If you believe that a child is being abused or neglected by their mother, father, caretaker or a member of their household call CPS at (209) 468-1333

If you believe that a child is being abused or neglected by someone other than their parent, caretaker or household member call law enforcement

You will be asked questions about why you suspect the abuse or neglect - answer them truthfully and if you don't know say that

Unless you are a mandated reporter you do not have to provide your name. It is helpful to leave at least your first name and phone number in case clarification or additional information is needed

You will need to provide a name or address for the family, or the current location of the child you feel has been abused or neglected so that they can be located

Trained CPS social workers will assess the information and determine whether or not CPS will respond

If CPS does not respond in all likelihood the matter will be referred to a community agency to contact the family and offer them services

If CPS does respond the response will be

Within 24 hours if the child is thought to be in immediate danger

Within 10-days if there is not immediate danger to the child

There is no simple answer to this as lots of things go into making a decision about the danger the child is in as well as the risk that the child may be abused or neglected again. CPS social workers rely on their education, training as well as specific tools available to them to decide what level of services will keep the child safe. Some common things that can help reduce the risk of the child being abused or neglected again are the willingness of the person that caused the abuse to admit to it and seek help as well as the family having support in terms of friends or family that will also help make sure the child is safe.

Within 2 working days of the child being removed there will be a Team Decision Making meeting. This is an important meeting because it is a time for family and friends to meet along with the social worker and others that might be able to provide services to the family. At this meeting decisions about the child's placement will be talked about and decided upon. If the decision is that the child cannot safely return to the home of the parent then there will be a Court hearing in Department 12 of the San Joaquin County courthouse on Weber Ave in Stockton.. This hearing will be at 8:30am three working days after the child was removed. The parents will be told of the exact date before the hearing and arrangements will be made to get any parent in the San Joaquin County jail transported to the hearing.

Voluntary Family Maintenance

Provides services to families where abuse or neglect has occurred and the risk of future abuse or neglect is high.

Goal is to safely maintain children in their home

Participation in the program is voluntary, but if the family agrees to participate they must comply with services listed in a case plan.

Child and Family Team (CFT's)

The CFT program started on January 1 2017 in an effort to include the family and their natural supports in decisions such as placement, possible removals as it pertains to children's safety, and the development of the family's case plan.

Through the CFT process the family, their natural supports and CPS Social workers identify supports and services that are needed to achieve permanency, enable a child to live in the least restrictive family setting, and promote normal childhood experiences.

A team is created with the support of an engager who will help the parents and the minors identify their natural supports, to be included on the Child and Family Team.

A meeting will be facilitated by a skilled and trained facilitator who will meet with the family, their natural supports, service providers and CPS Social Worker, as a neutral party ensuring that the voice of everyone is heard at the table.

Meetings can occur at any time, as needed or called by one of the members of the CFT. However, they need to be held every six-months at the least.

Child Advocacy Center

Conducts forensic interviews of children who have experienced severe abuse

Has a multidisciplinary team comprised of representatives from the District Attorney's Office, Mental Health, San Joaquin General Hospital, Child Protective Services, all county law enforcement jurisdictions, Victim Witness, Women's Center - Youth and Family Services and the Department of Justice that meets monthly

Transportation

Assist with transportation needs of children and
adults working with CPS as necessary to medical appointments, visits, court ordered programs, etc.
Satellite Shelter

Children under the age of 6 cannot be housed at Mary Graham Children's
Shelter and thus need alternate temporary placement. Staff in this unit serve Satellite Shelter Foster homes which provide a short-term family-style alternate living arrangement until a longer term plan is developed for the child
Placement Facilitators

Work with case carrying social workers to move children into appropriate long term placements, and to assist social workers when it is learned that a child is struggling in their current placement and may not be able to remain in the home.

Participate in team decision making meetings to talk about the needs of the child and once a potential home is identified they arrange pre-placement visits

San Joaquin County provides some training to those agencies that are required by law to report suspected child abuse and neglect. If you would like someone to provide training to your organization please contact Tasha Dunham at (209) 468-1634 or Kimberly Russ-Reite at (209) 468-1758.

Additionally the State of California provides information on their website. Helpful information can be found at mandatedreporterca.com. additionally the Suspected Child Abuse Report that is mandatory for all mandated reporters to complete and send in after their call to CPS can be downloaded at ag.ca.gov.

Court - There are two components to the Court program: Court Intake & Assessment (CI&A) and Juvenile Dependency.

Court Intake & Assessment (CI&A)

The CI&A unit is responsible for all investigations and assessments that are the result of removals handled by law enforcement; investigations and family assessments for babies who are born drug-exposed and whose family situation and circumstances meet criteria for intervention by CPS; guardianship assessments; as well as 241.1 assessments ordered by the Court for youth who appear to come within the description of both the child welfare department and county probation department. The purpose of the 241.1 assessment is to determine which department will serve the best interest of the youth.

After conducting an investigation and assessment, the CI&A social worker determines the level of intervention that best meets the needs of the children and family. Referrals may be closed with a referral to appropriate community services or they may be referred to the Voluntary Family Maintenance program or to the Juvenile Court unit for the filing of petition.

Juvenile Dependency

The Juvenile Court process begins with the filing of a petition under Welfare & Institutions (W&I) Code. Cases are handled by the Court program beginning with the filing of a petition and continues through the jurisdictional and dispositional hearing. When a child is removed from the physical custody of his or her parents by the Juvenile Dependency Court, under Article 6, section 300 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, Family Reunification or Family Maintenance services may be ordered by the Court for the parent's to regain legal and physical custody of their child. This can be accomplished by alleviating the circumstances that led to the intervention by CPS. The length of Family Reunification or Family Maintenance services is typically 6 to 12 months but can be extended to as much as 24 months depending on the circumstances.

Until the Court approves the dispositional report, Court social workers maintain all case management duties and responsibilities. They are required to assist parents with their Court-ordered case plan by making referrals to programs in the community that will alleviate further risk of abuse or neglect of their child. The Court social worker meets with the parents at least monthly if not more frequently and discusses the case progress, problems encountered and parents cooperation. Court social workers are also responsible for facilitating visitation between the parents, family members and the child. Family members include but are not limited to: grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. In addition to making referrals for parents to court-ordered services (such as individual and/or family counseling, parenting education, substance abuse treatment and testing, sexual abuse counseling, anger management, domestic violence counseling) and facilitating visitation, Family Reunification social workers are also responsible for arranging for transportation

The social worker must visit each dependent child and care takers in the home at least once each month and will arrange for contact with each parent a minimum of once monthly or the stated time in the case plan. Contact is required by the social worker with all service providers. The social worker must also request written reports from these professionals when their services are being provided as a part of the case plan.

California law requires that social workers provide concurrent planning services. Concurrent planning means working towards reunification while also finding a safe, permanent home for children should reunification efforts fail. This involves identifying alternate forms of permanency, such as a member of the family or a non-related extended family member who will commit to adoption or guardianship if a child cannot be returned home safely, or who will be a permanent adult in the child's life.

Once the dispositional report, to include the Case Plan Family Assessment and Child Welfare Services Case Plan is approved and adopted by the Court, the case is transferred to the appropriate unit in the Family Social Work program for continued case management.

Family Social Work - There are two components to the Family Social Work program: Family Reunification and Family Maintenance.

Family Reunification and Family Maintenance

The goal of both the Family Reunification and Family Maintenance programs is to provide every dependent child a safe, stable, permanent home, nurtured by healthy families and strong communities. Family Reunification services focus on first providing the parents with the best chance of success at reunification while acknowledging, recognizing and providing for the child's long-term needs for safety, stability and permanence.

The length of Family Reunification and Family Maintenance services is typically 6 to 12 months but can be extended to as much as 24 months depending on the circumstances.

California law also requires a comprehensive Court report and hearing every 6 months to review a family's progress.

1. 6-month Court Review Hearing: the Court reviews the family's progress with the Case Plan. Family Maintenance/Family Reunification services can be terminated in some cases or continued.

2. 12-month court Hearing (may also be the Permanency Planning Hearing): The Court reviews the Case Plan progress and may order an additional 6 months if the parents are close to completing their Case Plan.

3. Permanency Planning Hearing (Called 366.21, 366.22 or 366.25 Hearing).

In situations where Family Reunification services are ordered and the children are placed in out-of-home care, placement options for the dependent child include (in the preferred order):

1. Relatives

2. Non-relative extended family members (NREFM), those who are known and already share a bond with the child.

3. Foster Parents

In situations where the Court determines that it is appropriate to place the children with their parent(s), the case is referred to as a Family Maintenance case. The Court maintains legal jurisdiction and responsibility for the care of the child but placement is with one or both parents.

Dependency Drug Court (Parental Recovery Options Plan - PROP)

The PROP program is a combined effort between San Joaquin County CPS, Juvenile Dependency Court, Adult Drug Court, and the Office of Substance Abuse. The Office of Substance abuse PROP program was designed to provide an intensive court monitoring system to increase family reunification rates for families that have substance abuse problems.

The PROP program is divided into two separate levels of monitoring PROP I and PROP II Dependency Drug Court. PROP I is the first level of monitoring provided by the Drug court Social Worker to Dependency Drug Court. PROP II is the second level of increased court monitoring provided by Dependency Drug Court. PROP II clients are monitored by Drug Court weekly, bi-weekly and then monthly as the client progresses through Dependency Drug Court.

Program Overview
Mental health services in schools include a broad range of services, settings, and strategies.

Social Isolation
Social isolation is the state of complete or near-complete lack of contact between an individual and other individuals and/or society. Social isolation occurs for long periods of time and impacts the social and emotional wellness of individuals.

Angst
Angst is an iNDIEFLIX Original documentary designed to raise awareness around anxiety.

Model Youth Suicide Prevention Policy (DOCX)
This sample policy document is meant to serve as a model for local educational agencies (LEA). Following the passage of Assembly Bill 2246 (Chapter 642, Statutes of 2016), LEAs that serve pupils in grades seven to twelve, inclusive, must adopt a policy on pupil suicide prevention, intervention, and postvention before the beginning of the 2017-18 school year. Assembly Bill 2639, amended EC Section 215 in 2018, requires the governing board or body of an LEA that serves students in grades seven to twelve, to review their suicide prevention policies at least every five years and update them, as needed.

Student Mental Health Policy Workgroup

Mental Health Services Act (MHSA)
The California Department of Health Care Services is the primary resource for accessing information about the Act, including updates and activities related to local planning efforts.

Model Mental Health Posters

We are pleased to introduce the model mental health posters, developed in response to Assembly Bill 748. This bill requires each school site in California serving pupils in grades 6 to 12 to create a poster that identifies approaches and shares resources regarding pupil mental health. The poster must be prominently and conspicuously displayed in appropriate public areas that are accessible to, and commonly frequented by, pupils at each local educational agency (LEA) school site. The California Department of Education would like to express our sincere gratitude and appreciation to the San Diego County Office of Education and their statewide youth group for their invaluable collaboration in the development, revision, and creation of these life-saving mental health resources. Please download these posters and follow the instructions provided to customize them for your school site or community.

Webinars

Senate Bill 224 Student Mental Health Education Implementation: Why, What, & How Webinar

Senate Bill 224 passed in October 2021 and was codified as Education Code Section 51925. This law requires each school district, county office of education, state special school, and charter school, that offers one or more courses in health education to middle or high school students, to include in mental health instruction as part of the curriculum. Mental health education is one of the best ways to increase awareness, empower students to recognize signs in themselves and their peers, seek help, and reduce the stigma associated with mental health issues. In this webinar, we share resources and provide guidance and support as you prepare for the implementation of this critical law.

Individual & Collective Well-Being Among School Staff, Educators & Administrators Webinar Series

This webinar series addresses staff social-emotional health as fundamental to the success in educating youth, engaging families, and collaborating with colleagues. It teaches how stress management and supportive relationships create a workplace where we can prioritize our own health while serving others.

"Homelessness hits for many reasons. Some are as simple as the loss of a job or good health, some as complex as the passage of poverty from one generation to the next. Whatver the causes, homelessness now threads through the whole of our nation. And the fabric is unraveling. The human cost is devastating. So is the ultimate cost to society."

"Homelessness hits for many reasons. Some are as simple as the loss of a job or good health, some as complex as the passage of poverty from one generation to the next. Whatver the causes, homelessness now threads through the whole of our nation. And the fabric is unraveling.

If you or someone you know has been abused, seek help immediately from civil authorities, child protective services, or adult protective services. You may also seek help from a victim advocate or medical or counseling professional. These services can help protect you and prevent further abuse.

In addition, the help lines listed below are free and are staffed by people who are trained to help. These resources are not created, maintained, or controlled by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Additionally, Church leaders and members should fulfill all legal obligations to report abuse to civil authorities. No Church leader should ever dismiss a report of abuse or counsel a member not to report criminal activity. Bishops, branch presidents, and stake presidents should call the Church's ecclesiastical help line immediately each time they learn of abuse for assistance in helping victims and meeting reporting requirements. Go to CounselingResources.ChurchofJesusChrist.org for the help line number and more information. Some of these resources may be available in English only.

Senior Awareness Day - Website link

Senior Awareness Day originated in 1979. The concept was introduced by Frank Bodin, an Escalon community leader and Chairman of the County Commission on Aging. His vision enhanced community awareness of older adults' contribution to the prosperity and vitality of San Joaquin County and has increased seniors' awareness of the many programs and services available to them at little or no cost throughout the County. The San Joaquin County Human Services Agency coordinates with many public and private agencies and hundreds of volunteers of all ages, work together to make this event possible.

The Community Partnership for Families of San Joaquin is committed to serving individuals and families that live in high-need areas outside the immediate vicinity of our Family Resource Centers. Kaiser Permanente's generous funding allowed us to purchase a Mobile Family Resource Center to reach and serve families in isolated communities across San Joaquin County to bridge disparities in health and human services.

In addition to meeting the needs of families where they are, we connect the families that we visit to our Family Resource Centers for additional resources, services and supports. For example, the Mobile Family Resource Center functions as the hub for our VITA program. To guarantee quality services and to serve the families best, all our standard procedures apply to the mobile unit as well: all families will be assessed and documented through our welcome/intake form.

Be on the lookout for our mobile unit in your neighborhood.

Head Start San Joaquin Application Head Start San Joaquin Aplicación en Español

Head Start programs promote school readiness of children ages birth to five from low-income families by supporting the development of the whole child.

Head Start and Early Head Start programs offer a variety of service models, depending on the needs of the local community. Many Head Start and Early Head Start programs are based in centers and schools. Other programs are located in child care centers and family child care homes. Some programs offer home-based services that assign dedicated staff who conduct weekly visits to children in their own home and work with the parent.

Head Start programs support children's growth and development in a positive learning environment through a variety of services, which include:

Early learning: Children's readiness for school and beyond is fostered through individualized learning experiences. Through relationships with adults, play, and planned and spontaneous instruction, children grow in many aspects of development. Children progress in social skills and emotional well-being, along with language and literacy learning, and concept development.

Health: Each child's perceptual, motor, and physical development is supported to permit them to fully explore and function in their environment. All children receive health and development screenings, nutritious meals, oral health, and mental health support. Programs connect families with medical, dental, and mental health services to ensure that children are receiving the services they need.

Mission

The purpose of CalWORKs is to provide equitable access to the services, resources and opportunities families need to increase resilience, achieve economic mobility, and break the cycle of poverty.

What is CalWORKs?

CalWORKs is a welfare program that gives cash aid and services to eligible California families in need. The program serves all 58 counties in the state and is operated locally by county welfare departments.

Benefits to Build On

If a family is in need, CalWORKs may be able to help with housing, food, utilities, clothing or medical care, they may be eligible to receive immediate short-term help. Families that apply and qualify for ongoing assistance receive money each month to help pay for housing, food and other necessary expenses.

To learn more about services and benefits that CalWORks offers, click below

About CalWORKs

There are welfare offices located in each of the 58 California counties. Families may apply for CalWORKs at any office located in the county where they live.

The amount of a family's monthly assistance payment depends on a number of factors, including the number of people who are eligible and the special needs of any of those family members. The income of the family is considered in calculating the amount of cash aid the family receives.

Families that have a child(ren) in the home who has been deprived of parental support or care because of the absence, disability or death of either parent.

Families with a child(ren) when both parents are in the home but the principal earner is unemployed. Need caretaker relatives of a foster child(ren).

The first ever San Joaquin County online resource guide, referral and volunteer system built to put resources in the hands of those who need them. From Nonprofits to those in need--and even those who have something to give, Community Connections SJC has the ability to connect us all, in one, simple to use web-based system.

For well over 15 years, the staff of the San Joaquin Delta College CalWORKs program have been committed to addressing the needs and barriers of their students to assist them in being successful students, parents, employees and citizens. To that end, for approximately 14 years, they have developed, produced and annually updated the Community Connections Resource Directory for the entire San Joaquin County and have seen it expand to serve the needs of everyone, not just their students. With over 700 resources, this directory has been the premiere directory in the county and has been a coveted resource by local social service agencies, government organizations, educational institutions and community-based organizations.

Community Connections is intended to provide information and resources regarding non-profit, government, social service, community based and educational institutions. Our community standards are such that we do not list resources that offer a solicitation or are strictly for-profit.

Senior Awareness Day - Website link

Senior Awareness Day originated in 1979. The concept was introduced by Frank Bodin, an Escalon community leader and Chairman of the County Commission on Aging. His vision enhanced community awareness of older adults' contribution to the prosperity and vitality of San Joaquin County and has increased seniors' awareness of the many programs and services available to them at little or no cost throughout the County. The San Joaquin County Human Services Agency coordinates with many public and private agencies and hundreds of volunteers of all ages, work together to make this event possible.

Our Mission

We are committed to providing our residents with tools that help each of them become self-sufficient. Our aim is to show the women and children of our shelter the forgiveness and love of Jesus Christ, which we believe fosters good decision-making and healthy living.

'

Women come to us from various circumstances. Some are suffering the trauma of domestic violence. Others may come directly from jail or off the streets, while some have lost jobs and have no outside support. Many women come to us from generations of poverty or have suffered other life-changing circumstances. Women and children come to the Haven of Peace for help and guidance. The women are eighteen (18) years-of-age or older, while the children are of all ages for girls and up to eight (8) years-of-age for boys (due to dormitory setting).

Coalition of Tracy Citizens to Assist the Homeless

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The Coalition of Tracy Citizens to Assist the Homeless (CTCAH) is a small non-profit organization in Tracy, Ca that helps homeless people. It's primary focus at this time is operating Emerson House, a transition place for homeless men and Rochester House, a "supportive living" facility for previously homeless disabled and/or senior men who have been through the Emerson House Program and continue to need our help so as not to end up homeless again. Each man who comes to live at Emerson House is required to participate in the Emerson House Program and utilize our resources to prepare to live independently - to leave Emerson House when they have secured sufficient income to afford a place of their own.

Emerson House volunteers see to it that the Emerson House residents have comfortable and clean living quarters and healthy food to eat while each works diligently toward securing employment and saving money to successfully start again. It's a family type environment with shared rooms and common meals so ones' ability to "fit in" is a prerequisite to joining the Emerson House family.

No alcohol or drugs are allowed on EH premises and residents are required to remain completely "clean" throughout their stay. Drug and alcohol testing is administered regularly when necessary and residents are dismissed from the Program if found under the influence. There are many rules at Emerson House which are strictly enforced by the Resident Manager, under the supervision of the House Director. Emerson House is not a "flop" house for men looking for a hand-out. It's Program is offered to men who truly want to do and are ready to do whatever it takes to positively change their lives and they are scrutinized thoroughly during the intake decision process.

Emerson House provides a much-needed service to the Tracy community as its volunteers care deeply about helping homeless men who are able, to stand on their own again and to be productive community members. The CTCAH organization is supported by donations and grants and Emerson House residents who are able, and Rochester House residents, pay nominal Program Fees to help with operational expenses.

If you, or someone you know can use a step up, read the Emerson House Rules, complete and send an application and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Please consider helping Emerson House Volunteers by setting up a small monthly donation and/or offering a small amount of your time (See Volunteer Interests descriptions page on this website). You won't be sorry!
