  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Lucy Roberts as a 
woman of the year. She is a tireless advocate for underserved women and 
families throughout her community. As Director of Family Hui, she leads 
an organization dedicated to creating healthy, thriving families and 
communities by providing parents with the support and encouragement 
they need to raise their children in a healthy way. She has worked 
diligently to make a difference in the lives of children by empowering 
their parents to make the choices that are best for their family. Ms. 
Roberts is deeply committed to the empowerment of women and providing 
parents with the tools to help strengthen family bonds. She has made a 
lasting positive impact on countless families throughout Yolo County. 
As Co-Chair of Resilient Yolo, Ms. Roberts works to educate people 
about the impact adverse childhood experiences have on shaping adult 
behavior and health. She also brings her passion and expertise to the 
Yolo County Maternal Mental Health Collaborative, an organization which 
promotes maternal wellness by developing a system of care for Yolo 
County mothers at risk of maternal mental health disorders. The lasting 
positive impact Ms. Roberts has had on families throughout Yolo County 
cannot be overstated.
