Know Your Rights Community Event Recording

The Los Angeles County Department of Education, in partnership with the Office of Immigrant Affairs and the Central American Resource Center, hosted a Know Your Rights presentation to support the El Monte Community on July 8th @ Mountain View HS.  The event provided free on-the-spot support from Los Angeles County departments. The Department of Mental Health provided referrals and mental health resources, and the Department of Public Social Services assisted with enrollment in public benefits. There was also a legal clinic offered, allowing participants to receive private consultations with attorneys. The event was streamed live and the recording is provided below.
