National Volunteer Week is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people
to seek out imaginative ways to engage in their communities. It’s about demonstrating to
the nation that by working together, we have the fortitude to meet our challenges and
accomplish our goals.
National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 and has grown exponentially
each year, with thousands of volunteer projects and special events scheduled throughout
the week.
With the sixth anniversary of the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, the
creation of the Volunteer Generation Fund and President Obama’s resonant call to serve,
this year’s celebration promises to be even more inspiring.
National Volunteer Week is about taking action and
encouraging individuals and their respective communities to
be at the center of social change – discovering and actively
demonstrating their collective power to make a difference.
Take advantage of this moment of national attention to promote your cause and
volunteer commitment in your community.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month
You can act to support families and protect children all year round!
While April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, you can make a big difference year-round
through small acts that help protect children, strengthen families, promote traits that
help protect families — and, ultimately, prevent the abuse and neglect of children.
For your family:
As a parent, block out 15 minutes a day to play one-on-one with your child —
doing anything he or she wants. We know from studies that the more parents
engage in positive activities with their children, the less they use negative
physical and psychological discipline.
 Tell the children or youth in your life how much you care for them and
appreciate them. All children deserve to have someone who is “crazy about
them” and loves them unconditionally.
 Connect with grandparents to preserve cultural heritage. Grandparents are
an incredible source of cultural heritage — from traditions to language to food!
Encourage them to tell stories to their grandchildren and even visit their schools
to share where they come from.

For friends and neighbors:
Compliment a father — someone you know or even someone in public — on
something positive you see him do with his children. Dads contribute uniquely to
children’s development.
 Offer your time to baby-sit for the child of a friend, neighbor or family member. All
parents need help sometimes — even if it is just to rest or “recharge” for an hour or two.
 Arrange a potluck event in your neighborhood to get to know other parents and
their kids. Friends and neighbors can give outstanding support to families in times of need or
stress.

For your community:
Do volunteer work for a youth-or family-serving organization in your community. Some families just need
a little help from time to time, and community organizations are designed to do just that.

Take action on legislative issues that affect children and families. Call your elected representatives, join
demonstrations and be sure always to vote to show that you support services to help families raise healthy children.

Ask yours or another faith-based organization in your community about donations — even small ones —
that can be made to support families in need. Some families need help providing for their children’s basic needs.

If you have reason to believe a child may be at risk of harm in their home, call your local child abuse
hotline. Anyone who is worried about the well-being of a child can call to report their concerns.


Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental
disability that can cause significant social,
communication and behavioral challenges. There is often
nothing about how people with ASD look that sets them
apart from other people, but people with ASD may
communicate, interact, behave, and learn in ways that are
different from most other people. The learning, thinking,
and problem-solving abilities of people with ASD can range from gifted to severely challenged. Some people with
ASD need a lot of help in their daily lives; others need less.
A diagnosis of ASD now includes several conditions that used to be diagnosed separately: autistic disorder,
pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS), and Asperger syndrome. These conditions
are now all called autism spectrum disorder.
Signs and Symptoms
People with ASD often have problems with social, emotional, and communication skills. They might repeat certain
behaviors and might not want change in their daily activities. Many people with ASD also have different ways of
learning, paying attention, or reacting to things. Signs of ASD begin during early childhood and typically last
throughout a person’s life.
Children or adults with ASD might:
 not point at objects to show interest (for example, not point at an airplane flying over)

not look at objects when another person points at them

have trouble relating to others or not have an interest in other people at all

avoid eye contact and want to be alone

have trouble understanding other people’s feelings or talking about their own feelings

prefer not to be held or cuddled, or might cuddle only when they want to

appear to be unaware when people talk to them, but respond to other sounds

be very interested in people, but not know how to talk, play, or relate to them

repeat or echo words or phrases said to them, or repeat words or phrases in place of normal language

have trouble expressing their needs using typical words or motions

not play “pretend” games (for example, not pretend to “feed” a doll)

repeat actions over and over again

have trouble adapting when a routine changes

have unusual reactions to the way things smell, taste, look, feel, or sound

lose skills they once had (for example, stop saying words they were using)
If You’re Concerned
If you think your child might have ASD or you think there could be a problem
the way your child plays, learns, speaks, or acts, contact your child’s doctor,
and share your concerns.

National Stress
Awareness Month
4
It's healthy to relax, renew, and rejuvenate
Stress happens. Sometimes it's unavoidable, at times it's unbearable. That's why taking time
for yourself is a necessity.
Stress does not merely afflict your mind; it can also affect you on a cellular level. In fact, long-term stress can lead
to a wide range of illnesses – from headaches to stomach disorders to depression – and can even increase the risk of
serious conditions like stroke and heart disease. Understanding the mind/stress/health connection can help you
better manage stress and improve your health and well-being.
The Fight or Flight Response
The sympathetic stress response is
a survival mechanism that's "hard
wired" into our nervous systems.
This automatic response is
necessary for mobilizing quick
reflexes when there is imminent
danger, such as swerving to avoid a
car crash.
When you perceive a threat, stress
hormones rush into your bloodstream—increasing heart rate,
blood pressure, and glucose levels.
Other hormones also suppress
functions like digestion and the
immune system, which is one of the
reasons why chronic stress can
leave you more vulnerable to
illness.
Danger triggers the stress response
– but, unfortunately, so can work
conflicts, worry over debt, bad
memories, or anxiety. Although one
bad day at work won't compromise
your health, weeks or months of
stress can dampen your immune
response and raise your risk for
disease.
Combat Your Stress
If you suffer from chronic stress
and can't influence or change the
situation, then you’ll need to
change your approach. Be willing
to be flexible. Remember, you have
the ability to choose your response
to stressors, and you may have to
try various options.
 Recognize when you don't have
control, and let it go.
 Don't get anxious about
situations that you cannot
change.
 Take control of your own
reactions, and focus on what
makes you feel calm and in
control. This may take some
practice, but it pays off in peace
of mind.
 Develop a vision for healthy
living, wellness, and personalprofessional growth and set
realistic goals to help you
realize your vision.

http://www.foh.hhs.gov/calendar/april.html
Relax and Recharge
Be sure to make time for fun and
relaxation so you'll be better able to
handle life's stressors. Carve some
time out of your day – even 10 to 15
minutes – to take care of yourself.
Also, remember that exercise is an
excellent stress reliever.
Everyone has different ways they
like to relax and unwind. Here are a
few ideas to get you started:
 Take a walk

Read a book

Go for a run

Have a cup of tea

Play a sport

Spend time with a friend or loved
one
 Meditate (learn how in the sidebar)
 Do yoga
While you can't avoid stress, you can
minimize it by changing how you
choose to respond to it. The ultimate
reward for your efforts is a healthy,
balanced life, with time for work,
relationships, relaxation, and fun.

It’s Nearly Mosquito Season
Fight Mosquitos in a More Natural Way
By Esther Thompson
Transition Engagement Specialist
Mosquitos are more than just a pest that causes a person to itch. Many people are allergic to the saliva that the bug uses
to ease blood flow from the mosquito to human. They also carry a number of deadly viruses. I have never been able to tolerate
the smell of bug spray, let alone condone the use of poisons that can hurt man and beast. During the later Spring, when the nasty
little critters start making their presence known, I start combining various methods to keep them away. I often use a
combination of herbs and/or essential oils. I keep small;; bottles on hand to help me around the yard and use them depending on
what I’m doing or if I’m going to be around other humans for any time soon. I say this last statement because I cannot be
around people if I use this first one. Garlic. I make a pulp and mix it with water and canola oil and put it in a spray bottle. I use
a little on my arms and legs, but I also can use it as a natural pesticide for your garden. It even keeps deer away. Garlic has a
natural sulfur which repels mosquitoes. Spraying garlic to keep insects away is not something new, farmers and master
gardeners have been doing it for many generations. Since mosquitoes are soft-bodied insects the garlic juice can be very toxic to
them in increased concentrations. The juice does not harm humans, pets or plants, but to mosquitoes it can be deadly.
For the person with a more delicate sense of smell, there are numerous essential oils that you can use to repel the little
beasties. You can use them alone or with water and/ or vinegar and a light oil mixed in a spray bottle. Some essential oils that
can be used are Lavender, oregano, lemongrass, juniper, sandalwood, lemon, lime, grapefruit,
sage, Bay Laurel, thyme, eucalyptus, Tea Tree Oil, geranium, oranges, and marigolds. Mix some
different oils to get the smell you really like (and the mosquitos hate. Don’t use essential oils on
your garden plants, though. You can also make a spray out of any of these herbs and fruits
blended in a blender and mixed with water and/or vinegar and light oil, strain it, and then bottle
it in a spray bottle, ready to use. The herb and fruit combinations are easier to shower off and
won’t stain your clothes.
Enjoy the outdoors minus the bugs!
There are plenty of ways you can make every day Earth Day. Improve your own small
part of the planet by considering these suggestions for spring-cleaning, garden
preparation and home improvements:
 Purchase non-toxic cleaning products. Use natural fiber sponges and cleaning
agents that are biodegradable, phosphate-free, chlorine-free and unscented.
 Reduce paper use. Use rags instead of paper towels; cloth napkins instead of paper
ones. Buy post-consumer recycled paper and recycle it when you've used it.
 Refurbish responsibly. Use water-based or vegetable-based paints, stains, and
varnishes. Don't wash paint thinners, household cleaners, oil or pesticides down the drain or pour them on the
ground; use them up, give leftovers to friends or a charity, or dispose at your local toxic waste disposal center.

Repair instead of replace. Reupholster furniture. Resole your shoes.

Replace disposable goods with renewable ones. Buy rechargeable batteries. Use dishes instead of paper plates.
Plant for the planet. Strengthen your garden's resistance to pests by planting resilient plants, by rotating the fruits and
vegetables you plant, and by attracting friendly bugs to prey on the pesky ones.
