2. PUBLIC COMMENTS

I oppose the Wellness Center at 401 S Tustin Str canceling support groups for Mental Health in order to hold their gayday celebration. They are also grooming Disabled Clients all month long with every activity having a nexus to pride month. There is no opportunity to opt out.
Can you please make it stop?
Please read our plea to the Public we prepared this packet just for you!

Clarvida Wellness Ct 401 S Tustin Str in Orange serves Disabled adults/ adults living w. Severe & Persistent Mental Illness. They provide crucial services such as group therapy & healing activities like art, music & yoga. They also offer vital coping skills ie Stress Management & Trauma Recovery. Services offered are mostly beneficial, but management is whimsical. Those who avail themselves of the free services are called "Members" & assigned a serial number. Wellness Center Orange & its counter part in Lake Forest are both fully funded by County of Orange, which is supposed to have complete oversight & final say as to propriety of activities & rules & regulations that define the operations of these facilities. Members must adhere to "social agreement" purposely written in vague ambiguous manner, eg expressly prohibits "offensive" speech but does not define that. So any PoV not acceptable to staff is offensive. It's completely arbitrary & heavily anti Christian. Penalty for saying something "offensive" is suspension, even if there was no ill-intent.
Clarvida Wellness Centers aggressively ban mention of Christianity. If Christians have conscientious objection to a given activity, they are told to leave facility, or refrain from coming in the first place. Wellness Center released its June calendar only on last business day in May, not really enough time for any Member to voice concerns about upcoming events. There is widespread dissatisfaction & frustration by Members over the "pride" activities planned in June because they amount to GROOMING. A significant % of Members have mild to moderate Mental Retardation to where they don't qualify for a driver's license & cannot open a bank account. So while theyre chronologically adults, many are not fully legal adults. This grooming by Wellness Center is unethical & possibly unlawful, depending on maturity & functional level of Member.
A look at June calendar reveals jewelry making class now requires Members make "pride" themed creations. Another group, supposed to be for art is now completely "pride" centric with creations having to be related to homosexual or transexual stuff. This is deviant,disturbing disgusting, & disrespectful.
June 20th, all classes from noon to 4:30 are cancelled so Wellness Center can promote perverse sexuality they call "pride celebration".
Food-insecure members are lured into this pride abomination with enticements of free catered lunch from food trucks.
We're asking public bring this to attention of County personell. Wellness Center initially lied, told County the "pride celebration" on 20th would be from only 1-2pm but keep changing calendar & according to what we found Wellness Center South website it actually lasts from 1-4:30pm.
Please email Board of Supervisors response@ocgov.com for June 11th meeting & request they look into this. Emails due by 9am the day of.
It's also a County Behavioral Health meeting Wednesday morning. If you send public comments there it may get resolved faster. Emails must be in by 9am ocbhab@ochca.com
The OC Continuum of Care Board meeting is the Wednesday after this week and comments can be emailed to carecoordination@ocgov.com
They require emails be sent *24 hours* in advance & subject line say "CoC Board Meeting"
