atteu (Matt) D. Daniels, Riverside County Department of Public Social Services (DPSS) Regional Manager, has been awarded one of this year's honorable mentions by the Association for Community Affiliated plans (ACAP). Nominated for the Leadership in Advocacy Award by Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP), Daniels was recognized for his decade-long partnership and immense dedication to providing healthcare access to underserved populations in the community. In a nomination letter to ACAP,
Jarrod McNaughton, IEHP chief executive officer, commended Daniels for being a tireless advocate in the support and promotion of Medicaid and the populations it serves in Riverside County, including low-income individuals, seniors and persons with a disability, and those with significant health needs. "In order for a community-based health plan to thrive, partners like Matt are essential," said McNaughton. "Matt continues to fight with passion and purpose to ensure care and support for more than 870,000 Medicaid eligible individuals in Riverside County. Matt's efforts illustrate what it means to care for your
neighbors. We look forward to continued collaboration in our efforts to heal and inspire the human spirit and are thrilled ACAP has recognized him in this way." ACAP, an association comprised of 78 not-for-profit, community-based Safety Net Health Plans across the country, awards one individual each year for their advocacy of Medicaid and other safety net health programs. Due to the overwhelming number of outstanding nominations, ACAP has included honorable mentions in this year's Annual ACAP CEO Summit. "Thank you, IEHP for the

Parents and guardians were provided with a question guide and encouraged to watch the film with their youth to better understand how online platforms collect and use that information and how that affects society. Some of the questions PRC staff posed to the youth were: Do you think technology has shaped any of your day-to-day behaviors? For example, do you unconsciously check your phone or do you have an emotional response to negative content?; How is social media used to misrepresent or create hate towards minority groups? For example, have you seen negative stereotypes in videos, gifs, or memes? Does your family have rules about devices or social media? For example, do you have to turn your phone off at a certain time? Gomez Munoz said youth shared that they find themselves looking at their phones frequently and some shared that they feel anxious if they do not check their phone. Some youth shared their families’ rules regarding cell phone usage and how they are not allowed to have their phones out or in use at the dinner table. “Family time spent without the distractions of social media was something youth valued,” she said. “We also discussed how to check cell phone screen time and data/statistics of how much

he Soboba Tribal TANF Program Prevention Resource Center (PRC) is currently running its Tribal Cháamcha Lówwivuktum (TCL) activities virtually and as take-home projects for its 12- to 19-year-old participants. February was dedicated to the topic of Online Safety Awareness. Program Specialist II Olga Gomez Munoz said the PRC staff takes many things into consideration when choosing TCL activities and topics. “We surveyed youth in the beginning of fall 2020 asking what they would be interested in participating in for our TCLs this year,” she said. “Based on their interests, we choose activities that we can adapt into either a take-home or virtual activity. We try to focus on topics that currently affect our youth demographic to promote awareness.” She said that PRC staff, which includes Regional Prevention Manager Harold Arres, actively participate in various webinars and trainings targeted at professionals working with youth and at-risk youth. Youth are currently in a unique situation in which they are navigating through the most technologically advanced time in history, a divisive political climate and a global pandemic. “We try to provide activities and topics that address the issues unique to their current social and cultural situation,” Gomez Munoz said. About 30 youth are registered with the program but there are many more that utilize the tutoring services that PRC offers but fall outside the TCL age range. Y.E.S. Homework Help is currently being offered virtually for K-12 students. Turnout has been great for all programs. In February, youth were invited to participate in the viewing of “The Social Dilemma,” a documentary that explores how social media compromises peo-
opportunities for COVID-19 vaccinations. The updated clinics, which will take effect this week, will also help provide better access to COVID-19 testing by convert-
