    MATFORCE: Working Together to Reduce Substance AbusePrescott AZ (June 3, 2020) – Through the Trauma Lens Care program MATFORCE understands that children from hard places often need more positive experiences to help build resilience in their lives. Therefore, MATFORCE and Catholic Charities are partnering to bring a respite summer camp to children in foster care.

    This camp is for current and past foster children 5- to 18-years old who have high behavioral health needs. Through this community partnership Catholic Charities is able to host the summer camp at no cost to families who participate.

    MATFORCE Executive Director Merilee Fowler said, “MATFORCE is excited to partner with Catholic Charities to bring this summer camp to our community. Offering this opportunity for these extraordinary children to experience fun, pro-social activities is an honor we are proud to partner with Catholic Charities to help provide.”

One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
