Observations and Celebrations in April |

World Autism Awareness Month |
World Autism Awareness Month is celebrated in April in collaboration with World Autism Awareness Day which is celebrated each year, on April 2. This year, the theme for World Autism Awareness Day is “Transforming the narrative: Contributions at home, at work, in the arts, and in policymaking.”
The United Nations urges people to look away from curing or converting autistic people and instead focus on accepting, supporting, and including autistic people, and advocating for their rights. The theme aims to help autistic people to claim their dignity and self-esteem and be integrated and valued members of society.
Here are some ways you can support and learn more about Autism awareness:
-
Attend a local event hosted by the Autism Society of San Diego and other partners.
-
Teach kids about Autism.
-
Complete self-esteem-boosting exercises and activities.
-
Wear blue during April to honor World Autism Awareness Month.
-
Learn more about Autism Spectrum Disorder.

CalAIM (California Advancing and Innovating Medi-cal) efforts are underway in San Diego! 2-1-1 San Diego/Community Information Exchange is working with the San Diego community, managed care plans, and CalAIM providers to streamline the CalAIM program and referral information.
CIE's current CalAIM efforts and goals:
Working closely with CalAIM providers to ensure their program information is accurately listed in the 2-1-1 database.

Here's a snapshot of how to find these resources in the 211 San Diego/CIE resource database search engine. If your CalAIM program is not listed on our public referral search or any of the information in your resource listing is not correct or needs to be updated, contact

The CIE Partner Network works to improve the overall service delivery system for clients. Our meeting provides a forum for partners to share updates about ongoing CIE Initiatives, share trends in our community, and collaborate on how we as a network are leveraging our partnership, data sharing, and the CIE technology platform to address the social determinants of health and increase health equity.
Join us for a range of content. Each month, we may dive into the latest technology projects, elicit feedback on the platform’s care coordination tools, or spotlight programs and supports for unique populations. The partner gathering is a space to engage with peers across our shared network. Join us on the 4th Thursday of every month (except November and December) at 9:00 am via zoom.
