What if every adult was a Mandated Reporter?

Imagine the difference we could make if every adult knew the signs of child abuse and neglect and felt empowered to take action when a child needed help. 💙

Protecting children isn’t just a professional responsibility~it’s a community responsibility. Every report has the potential to change a child’s life, provide safety, and connect families with the support they need.

If you suspect a child may be experiencing abuse or neglect, don’t ignore the signs! Your voice could be the one that helps protect a child and creates a brighter future.

📞 To report suspected child abuse or neglect:
• Mariposa County HHSA Protective Services: 209-742-0900
• Mariposa County Sheriff’s Office: 209-966-3615

🚨 If a child is in immediate danger, call 911.

Want to learn more about recognizing the signs of abuse and your role as a Mandated Reporter? Training opportunities are available for everyone in our community.

🔗 Learn more: mandatedreporterca.com or call us today at (209) 966-2211.

Together, we can create a safer, stronger community where every child is protected, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive. 🌟

Thoughtful Thursday 💙

A little reminder worth sitting with today…

Integrity. Principles. Doing the right thing. Fighting the good fight.

In a world that can sometimes make the short game tempting, choose the long game. Stay true to what you believe in. Keep doing what’s right~even when it’s not the easiest choice.

Because what we build on our values is what lasts. 💙
