Watershed Warriors: Bonsall Bridge 100th Anniversary

Watershed Warriors: Bonsall Bridge 100th Anniversary

Join I Love A Clean San Diego, Your Bonsall Ambassador, and the County of San Diego for a litter cleanup and celebration of Bonsall Bridge’s 100th Anniversary! We will divert litter from our watersheds and keep it from traveling to the Pacific Ocean.

Our staff will have check-in ready for you on-site. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes, closed-toed shoes, some form of sun protection (sunscreen or a hat), and bring a water bottle or two! Staff will be providing everything else you will need! After a short orientation and safety talk you will be sent off to remove litter around the area! Staff will sort and dispose of the collected litter and after the cleanup, you can request community service verification in your Community Hub dashboard.

WAIVERS: This event requires a signed release-of-liability waiver for all volunteers, and anyone under 18 needs a waiver signed by a guardian. Please download and print the waiver below, sign, and bring with you to this cleanup. No printer? No problem! We will have waivers at check-in for volunteers. If you are under 18 please have your guardian check in with us at the cleanup to sign off on your participation.

WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY: Our events are rain or shine! If it is raining on your cleanup day, we recommend rain boots, a raincoat, and a towel to dry off afterward.

One CSUSM

Together we are #OneCSUSM, raising money for student scholarships which helps close important gaps in aid for our students. For many students, financial support from family is not an option – nearly 70% of our students receive financial aid. Scholarships are a vital component to success, encouraging our students to persist to graduation and experience the sense of pride that comes from earning a degree.

Open to all enrolled students, the General Scholarship supports CSUSM students who experience an array of financial issues that would impede their degree progress. Many are experiencing catastrophic events, like loss of income, the death of a parent, or struggling to meet basic needs. Your gift to the General Scholarship will go to our students who need financial assistance the most.

So many scholarship recipients express how much it means to them knowing that someone they’ve never met wants to see them achieve their goals. Join us and carry the flag for our students on April 4th at www.csusm.edu/onecsusm.

Vicarious Trauma as Moral Injury – Webinar

Mental Health Awareness Month with The Innocent Justice Foundation – Moral Injury May 2, 2022

Professionals in the helping fields are more likely to be exposed to conduct, material and circumstances that can lead to vicarious trauma. Individuals can be personally affected by the trauma of victims and others they witness and work with on a daily basis which can impact them professionally and personally. Please join us in this free 1.5 hour webinar as we discuss vicarious trauma and it’s impact on those who serve victims.

When an individual is in a position to have someone else’s life or safety in their hands and is required due to the circumstances, to be witness to an act or directly act in a way that goes against their own moral beliefs, a moral injury can occur. This type of impact, often considered a “soul wound” and can lead to a shattering of one’s worldview, one’s belief and trust in others and potentially, one’s trust in oneself. This presentation will discuss vicarious trauma and the effects of moral injury, as well as, identify tools and techniques to mitigate the negative effects on individuals in the workplace and personal lives.
