WHAT: FORCED “PRIDE” ACTIVITY AT WELLNESS CENTER IN ORANGE
401 S Tustin Str, Orange – per OC district maps this is in Vince Sarmiento’s
District
BY WHOM: CLARVIDA – Virginia -based nonprofit operating under authority of the
BoS
WHO HAS OVERSIGHT: County of Orange Continuum of Care & its various
Committees
please review all links & screenshot ! its highly likely the Wellness Centers will pull the
calendars offline OR make “fake changes” outwardly but continue the event as planned
at time of writing WELLNESS CENTER CENTRAL still has it advertised
•even more intriguing is they claim its only for 90 minutes – still 90 minutes too long
but see sample letter for why this is a gross underestimate of the actual time
members will be deprived of actual wellness focus activities.
552bbcaf88d2586aeb1edbebac6b13e7
here’s wellness center SOUTH’s calendar which is more transparent – they say
the Wellness Ctr Tustin event is til 4:30 so 3 and a half hours ☹
https://www.wellnesscentersouth.org/calendar/
•please do NOT contact Clarvida directly – they have obviously approved the event
as described and are unlikely to budge
•please do NOT contact Supervisor Sarmiento as he’s equally unlikely to budge –
see his record of voting of these types of issues
rather: contact the ENTIRE Board of Supervisors, if they get enough emails they can
collectively bring a vote to address this at the BoS meeting.
please send emails to response@ocgov.com by 8am Tuesday– no need to
show up !

3rd option: go straight to those who micro-manage the care of the Disabled in the

•NOTE: may take longer to resolve than emailing comments to the addresses listed
above, but can try cc’ing the following OC Health Care Agency heads
amugrditchian@ochca.com jhudson@ochca.com clam@ochca.com
NOTE that not all Wellness Center Staff look happy and pleased at having to
pose under the vulgar rainbow.. every employee had to pose. The pic below can
be seen here at this link Orange County Wellness Center calendar of events
If some staff feel uncomfortable and ill at ease what does that say about the
dynamics of management and their concern for employees ? What about the
“wellness” of employees who maybe did not want to be associated with this ?
4th option : in person Behavioral Health Advisory Committee click this here link
for deets HEALTH CARE AGENCY
WHY ??
•UPDATE JUNE 6th in re the Creating Together Art class: Members informed
us today the *real* reason there is no Open Art is because Art Sessions are now
geared towards “pride-themed” creations
•UPDATE JUNE 9th in re the calendar originally submitted to and approved by
the County of Orange staff: it did include the Trauma Recovery Group. After the
calendar was approved, the Wellness Center staff made unauthorized changes. As
a reminder, all Wellness Center staff are employed by Clarvida, but the approval and
oversight comes from the County. A copy of the original calendar originally put out May
30th is attached so you can see the differences.
There is no option in the alternative on June 20th. While its true that the calendar claims
“if you would like to participate”, there are no other activities if one does NOT desire to
participate – and therein lies the crux of the problem. It’s not “optional” if there are no
other choices. There is also not the possibility to opt out of jewelry making and art class
which are both “pride” centric all month long.
It is obvious this event will not end at 2 or even 2:30 pm.
Also, the level of intense preparation for the event, including
distribution of free catered food means staff will be occupied
and unable to run classes as early as 10:30 am.
June 20th IS IS AN ALL-DAY EVENT
It is particularly noteworthy that the ONE single Wellness Center that
is operated, staff and managed by County employees is not having
any “pride” themed or related events.
Their calendar can be seen here . its WHOLESOME and everyone is
included and nobody has to feel unsafe or worried about being
groomed
https://wellnesscenterwest.org/calendar-1
SAMPLE LETTER – feel free to edit according to preference
To Whom it May Concern,
It has come to my attention that members of the Wellness Center Central in Orange are being forced to
participate in “Pride” celebration and regularly scheduled groups are being cancelled.
Members are also told to come make jewelry for “pride” all month long.
Many members are DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED to various degrees, and thus especially
vulnerable to grooming. A significant minority of members of the Wellness Center are not allowed to
obtain a driver’s license from the State of Ca or open a bank account due to some of them having mild-to-
moderate mental retardation. Many are under full or partial conservatorship. These are not adults who
can “just say no”
Even those members who are able to make everyday adult decisions for themselves should not be forced
into participation by default nor should they have to forfeit crucial classes that are cancelled due to the
“pride” celebration. The times on the calendar are not accurate. Just because something has a “start time”
does not mean there are other options before and after.
By way of example: last week’s Member Carnival, which began at noon, members started lining up by
10:30 am for free food and staff was busy signing members in and assisting with the food truck. That left
no staff to run classes, and the event did not end until well after 4 pm, with regular activities resuming
around 5 pm.
It is also unethical to lure Wellness Center members – many of whom are food insecure - into this
event with free catered food. Enticing participation by offering a free meal is targeted promotion of
the homosexual/ transexual/ pansexual agenda to vulnerable persons.
401 S Tustin Street in Orange is technically COUNTY PROPERTY and in 2023 the OC BoS voted to
BAN “pride” flags from county buildings. The Wellness Center is situated in a compound where literally
ALL other buildings are county owned and operated and that cater to Disabled and Mentally or
Behaviorally challenged populations, who are in need of care centric services that enhance their well
being.
I am writing this letter out of goodwill and compassion for those whose voices are left unheard and whose
safety is being recklessly disregarded. I am especially concerned about survivors of Sexual Assault,
Child Sex Abuse and Human Trafficking.
Will the County take responsibility for harassment against those who disagree with the “pride
celebration” as well in situations where innocent persons are groped or sexually harassed as is so common
at these types of pride-themed events ?
To protect the vulnerable members, I ask you move the pride event off site and cease inducing or
coercing members to participate in “pride” themed activitiesTheir safety should take first priority over
displays of sexual vulgarity.
Sincerely Yours [ Name, Address or email handle and / or phone # for contact ]
CA MassResistance, Orange County: Shut Down PRIDE at the Clarvida Wellness Center
Hello, team!
We need your help!
The Clarvida Wellness Center Central is pushing PRIDE propaganda and perversion on the
patients. They have contacted MassResistance, asking for our help.
We can shut this down, but we need Orange County residents such as yourselves to contact them
and tell them they need to get rid of all this PRIDE propaganda being pushed on the patients.
Please Contact Alycia Wallace and Sohail Eftekharzadeh, the program directors at the facility:
Alycia.wallace@clarvida.com
Sohail.eftekharzadeh@clarvida.com
Phone: (714) 361-4860
Here are some talking points for use when confronting the administration of the wellness center.
1. The facility is violating the Orange County Board of Supervisors’ flag policy (notice the
photo, etc.)
2. Patients in the facility are very upset but are afraid to speak out for fear of being ejected.

3. The facility is promoting a virulently anti-Christian political movement that represents
destructive and unhealthy sexual perversions. You do not support drunkenness, drug
abuse, or other toxic behaviors. A health facility is the last place where promotion of
homosexuality and transgenderism is appropriate.
4. “Gay pride” is very aggressively promoted. Patients are assigned to make “pride” jewelry
in art classes during June. Use of “preferred pronouns” is strictly enforced, according to
patients we’ve spoken to.

5. People in the facility are recovering from trauma, have mental illnesses, and have other
challenging issues. They should not be having this forced upon them. How does “gay
pride” affect their mental health? The facility administration doesn’t seem to care, but
should!
