The show will conclude with a segment on sexual abuse prevention, emphasizing the importance of breaking stigma and normalizing open, age-appropriate conversations within families and communities. As part of this effort, MCPD will host its second community workshop, led by Mariela Leon. The session will focus on prevention strategies, understanding and establishing healthy boundaries, recognizing warning signs, and empowering individuals to speak up and seek help.
The Montgomery County Council and Radio America have entered a partnership that provides the Latino community with key information on issues and programs. The partnership also provides a forum for residents to express their views and ask questions. The partnership includes the weekly one-hour show each Friday on the Washington metropolitan area’s most popular Spanish language station.
Each week, the show features host Marcela Rodriguez, Council program manager and public information officer, and guests talking about important issues before the Council and provides information about programs offered by the County to help residents.
