Compassion in Action
At Child Guidance Resource Centers, we believe that compassion is more than a value—it’s action. Our Compassion in Action initiative highlights programs and events dedicated to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB), creating spaces where every child, family, and community member feels respected, supported, and empowered.

Attendees will gain practical insights to strengthen advocacy, advance mental health and health equity, and build meaningful connections.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is a solemn occasion to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of others who suffered under Nazi persecution. It is a day to reflect on the consequences of hatred, intolerance, and indifference, while reaffirming our commitment to human rights and the importance of remembrance. Preserving these stories ensures that future generations understand the importance of standing against injustice in all its forms.
