2023 Future Leaders Program
|
![](http://newsbuilder.ocgov.com/previews/D4/graphics/spacer.gif) |
Last Saturday we held our fourth session of the Future Leaders Program. Students learned about another County department - the Orange County Health Care Agency (HCA), specifically focusing on mental health, well-being, and self-care from our experts in HCA's Mental Health and Recovery Services Department. The program took part in "myth-busting" misconceptions about mental health and students were informed of the importance of well-being and self-care. The presentation promoted collaboration among the students through thought-provoking and meaningful activities that emphasized the significance of mental health. Thank you to Dawn Smith, Assistant Deputy Director, Children & Youth Services and Michelle Smith, Senior Health Services Manager, Mental Health Services Act Coordinator for joining us to talk about mental health awareness and share about their careers in HCA. ![](http://newsbuilder.ocgov.com/previews/D4/vol2issue9/images/Day4-100.jpg)

Meet Antonia, a resilient and loving 4-year-old cat with a heart full of hope. Antonia's journey began in heartbreaking way when she was found abandoned in a carrier on the side of the street, left wearing a collar with a bell. Frightened and unsure, she slowly began to trust again as our dedicated team showered her with love and care. After four weeks, Antonia has blossomed into a sweet and affectionate companion who seeks attention and adores being petted. Antonia is ready to embark on a new chapter, seeking a forever home where she can share her gentle nature and warm affection with a loving family. If you would like to be best friends with this adorable feline, please call (714) 935-6848, and mention Animal ID# A1810542.
