Topic: Say San Diego
Family Resources Offered by SAY San Diego
SAY San Diego is a non-profit organization that's dedicated to meeting the needs of parents and
families by providing opportunities for them to grow along with their children. These
opportunities include educational programs, financial education, personal development, and
more. SAY San Diego offers a variety of activities including parent education, workshops on
how to improve your credit score or manage your money, parenting groups, and more.
The goal of SAY San Diego is to provide an empowering environment for parents where
they can become stronger individuals. They do this by providing a variety of different courses
and workshops that provide information and skills on a range of topics. These topics include
money management, ways to strengthen your marriage and family relationships, parenting
techniques and strategies for dealing with anger issues, which is an area where many families can
really benefit from some guidance.
More Information on the goal, mission and vision statements, as well as various programs
implemented by Say San Diego can be found on their website (https://www.saysandiego.org/ ).
Their website has information on what they do, how to obtain more information about their
program offerings, and eligibility requirements. SAY San Diego offers most of their services free
of charge, however some of the classes have a nominal fee associated with them. If you sign up
for the program while it is being offered, they will contact you to let you know which of the
classes you need to attend at a specific time and location.
The organization also provides parenting classes for new parents, which teach them about
some of the most common challenges that parents face. These topics include learning to deal
with tantrums, sleep-related problems, how to handle sleep apnea or momentary lapses of
memory or concentration, and common childhood disorders such as ADHD and Autism
Spectrum Disorder. Additionally, SAY San Diego helps people improve their credit scores with
workshops that are offered throughout the year.
SAY San Diego is a non-profit organization with a focus on the holistic wellbeing of
children, families, and the community. SAY offers specific programs for the youth, adults, and
families, and community prevention. In line with the various programs, SAY San Diego offers
education and news through an elaborate news and media department. Under the organization's
newsletter, the organization offers information on upcoming events, arising community issues,
information on its sponsors, and general health and wellness information.
Say San Diego newsletter covers various types of news. Hyperlocal news focuses on
rising neighborhood and block-by-block level issues. In this endeavor, SAY News highlights
programs, alliances and partnerships, and administrative messages to push for local community
needs in San Diego. On a wider level, SAY news covers city, state, national, and global news. As
part of an integrated society, SAY considers the context of the local community in regional,
national, and global contexts. As such, health issues affecting the region, nation, and globe that
are relative to San Diego are highlighted.
The news coverage under SAY covers other aspects of the community. Interviews,
personal stories, and photography are an important part of SAY News and Media. These unique
perspectives offer a personalized approach to understanding the community, triumph over
various challenges, and general awareness of the community.
SAY News is not on television. SAY Newsletter is an electronic news piece that is
available on the website’s blog. Various pieces of the articles from SAY are also available on its
media distribution partners. The partners include the San Diego Union Tribune and Philanthropy
News Digest (SAY San Diego, 2021). The partners enable SAY to have its various media
published on print media and shared on other blog posts. SAY San Diego has a strategic
partnership with OutFront Media. This media company is responsible for various promotional
activities. Through OutFront Media, SAY can gain outdoor media channels that include posters
and billboards to reach its target audience.
SAY San Diego Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Prevention Program (ATOD) There
are four primary programs under the SAY San Diego Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug
Prevention Program (ATOD). All these programs concentrate on the society, policy, and
environments that lead to substance abuse problems. Central Region Prevention Coalition, Cinco
de Mayo with Orgullo Coalition, North City Prevention Coalition, and San Diego Smoke-Free
Project are the initiatives in question (SAY San Diego: ‘Alcohol, Tobacco, and other drug
prevention program,’ n.d.).
First, the Central Region Prevention Coalition (CRPC) supports kids and their caregivers
with counseling and methods to help them decrease the negative effects of alcohol and substance
use. They do so by organizing adolescent public meetings, promoting prevention and awareness
programs, and keeping an eye on recreational pot outlets. They maintain two main social clubs
(SAY San Diego: ‘Alcohol, Tobacco, and other drug prevention program,’ n.d.). Firstly,
Advocates for Change Today, a multiracial organization of youths living in Mid City, is one
example. Secondly, the Critical Voice, Queer Youth Coalition, which works to connect the Gay
community in San Diego County. CRPC is also the driving force behind five San Diego
County-funded programs. Meth Strike Force, The Binge and Underage Drinking Initiative,
Prescription Drug Task Force, Marijuana Prevention, and Crime Free Multi Housing Program are
among the five campaigns. With 20 institutions, over 100 workers, and 32 youth leaders, these
programs had dividends. Over 2000 people attended their annual Unity Games, which featured
family members and San Diego law enforcement officers (SAY San Diego: ‘Children's programs
in San Diego,’ n.d).
Second, Cinco De Mayo Con Orgullo Coalition represents SAY San Diego's second
preventative initiative (CMCO). The initiative is a Latino-led community initiative aimed at
improving the neighborhood by encouraging San Diego's youngsters to live a secure, healthy,
and narcotic-free lifestyle. Their mandate also involves ensuring that all citizens have access to
health safety. CMCO's initiatives encompass coaching sessions and improving the standard of
living in San Diego's Mid-City neighborhoods. Parents Educational institutions, for example,
concentrate on topics such as cartels, Online security, crime monitoring, and drinking/substance
abuse (SAY San Diego: ‘Alcohol, Tobacco, and other drug prevention program,’ n.d.).
Third, the North City Prevention Coalition is indeed the third form of intervention. Their
influence on San Diego County is extensive (SAY San Diego: ‘Alcohol, Tobacco, and other drug
prevention program,’ n.d.). Throughout their events and projects, NCPC has worked across over
15 organizations and touched over 4,000 families and teenagers. ELEVATE, a community of
Serra High School students focused on healthy personal choices, and substance-free living is one
of many programs. NCPC also collaborates with SDPD and UCSD to provide lucid driving
workshops for learners. NCPC's youth-focused initiatives have had a serious influence in the San
Diego region.
Finally, The SAY San Diego alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention initiatives
include the San Diego Smoke-Free Project. The smoke-free project aims to limit environmental
tobacco inhalation in our neighborhood. Smoke-free multi-unit accommodation and smoke-free
senior care establishments are the emphases of the initiative (SAY San Diego: ‘Alcohol,
Tobacco, and other drug prevention program,’ n.d.). The Smoke-Free Project is supported by the
California Tobacco Control Program.
In summary, the SAY San Diego Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drug Prevention Program
(ATOD) programs focus on drug and substance use eradication and include training on drug and
substance use prevention with a focus on teenagers and families.
FOSTER PARENTS, don’t worry, SAY San Diego has something for you too! One of
the many programs include Project Keep. This program is specifically designed for foster
families and kinship caregivers to provide them with the means necessary to build a supportive
and stress-free environment. Becoming a parent or caring for multiple children coming from
different situations can be difficult at times, which is why Project Keep has designed a
curriculum facilitated by Keep team members for 16-weeks, 2 hours a week, that address all
issues that may arise (SAY San Diego, 2021). The goal is to ease the process of joining a new
family for both the children and the caregiver. If your child is between ages 5-18 you are eligible
for these FREE services, so don’t miss out on this opportunity. Classes are offered in English
and Spanish (SAY San Diego, 2021)! Making time for classes may seem like a hassle but it is
worth having a support system and people to count on in times of need. It doesn’t hurt to look
and see if they can help your family. The program offers support from other caregivers, on-site
childcare, 8 hours of annual training, and weekly incentives to keep you coming (SAY San
Diego, 2021)! For more information on Project Keep contact Moneisha Cole at:
mcole@saysandiego.org or call 858-656-4148 ext. 278

Some elements to look for when using
DOCS model
Design: Features related to the way the text is laid
out on the page. These are physical characteristics
of the writing’s format, such as:
▪ Headings
▪ Highlighting particular phrases by using
techniques such as bold, underline, or italics
▪ Use of images, charts, or graphs
▪ Spacing of the text
▪ Use of color
▪ Different sized fonts
▪ Different types of font
▪ Bullet points
Organization: Features related to how the writer
chooses to organize the information in the text.
Writers generally use more than one method of
organization. This can be about the text as a whole
or a particular section of the text. Some common
organization techniques are:
▪ Problem-solution
▪ General – particular
▪ Matching-contrast
▪ Topic-restriction-illustration
▪ Description
▪ Narrative
▪ Instruction
▪ Explanation
▪ Definition
▪ Exemplification
▪ Classification
▪ Compare-contrast
▪ Cause-effect
▪ Discussion-argumentation
Content: Text content is not always obvious. Think
about what information the author has decided to
include in the text and how it relates to the topic,
purpose, and audience. Examples include:
▪ Topics and relevant details. What types of
information are included in the text?
o Specific Disciplinary knowledge.
This is generally knowledge gained
through study or work in a particular
field.
o Insider knowledge. This is generally
knowledge that is shared by a
relatively small number of people
and that is not known by others.
o Participants: who is
quoted/paraphrased? Whose points
of views are expressed in the text? If
the text is about a controversial
issue, are both sides addressed?
Style: Features relating to the language the author
uses in the writing. These should be things that
stand out.
▪ Vocabulary
▪ Specific grammar features, such as passive
voice
▪ Verb choice
▪ Modals
▪ Sentence structure
▪ Jargon
▪ Figurative language, such as metaphor and
simile
Values: Often the most difficult to identify. Think
about what is important to both the reader and
writer. This needs to be specific and can fall under
general categories that may overlap:
▪ Shared understanding of language (general):
o Is the author using a specifc type of
vocabulary (ex. Slang, jargon) to
reach his audience. Based on this,
what is important to the reader and
writer?
▪ Shared life experience (general)
o What experiences relating to the
topic have both the reader and writer
had?
▪ Shared cultural values (general)
o These are values that stem from the
reader and writer coming from the
same or similar cultures. These are
often related to religion or societal
issues
▪ Shared disciplinary values (general)
o These are values that are shared
because the reader and writer have a
background in the same discipline.
What things are important to people
from the discipline that are evident in
the text?
