NLG completed filming in Butte County for our mental health training videos this week, after 8 days of filming that took us from Butte County to Baltimore. It was a unique challenge to undertake this mission with all that’s going on, but we’re grateful not only to have captured everything needed for production, but also to have met so many wonderful people along the way.
NLG Trains Thousands of Parents, Teachers, and Social Workers During the Pandemic
As the U.S. declared a national state of emergency in March, No Limit Generation realized that teachers, parents, and social workers were facing a challenge unlike any before. Our team moved quickly to create timely resources: live training workshops led by leading experts in the field to help navigate the pandemic. Our COVID-19 Timely Response, which so far includes five workshops, has already helped hundreds of caregivers and chidlren alike. In these bi-weekly live-workshops, we will continue to address pressing questions around self-care and child care during this period of adjustment.
NLG Joins Together for Girls and Hundreds of Child Well-Being Professionals to Call on Congress for Emergency Aid
NLG joined an effort that called on Congress for emergency funds to support the unprecedented challenges children are facing while in Quarantine. These include and are not limited to long-term isolation from friends and social networks; loss of regular access to supportive adults and structure, leading to challenges with motivation, difficulty solving problems, and poor decision-making; and sharp increases in domestic violence and child physical/sexual abuse during quarantine.
Organized by Together for Girls, the joint letter calls on Congress to invest at least $300 million in emergency funding to strengthen child safety and protection programs in the next COVID-19 Relief Package; and calls for significant funding increases for Child Abuse Prevention Treatment Act (CAPTA) State and Prevention grants and other child abuse prevention and intervention programs within the Department of Health and Human Services.
NLG Announces Partnership with the PEAR Institute, a Harvard University and McLean Hospital Affiliate
NLG is honored to announce a partnership with the PEAR Institute to address COVID-19’s mental health implications in the classroom and homes.
As a result of pandemic-related challenges, schools and afterschool programs should expect an increase of psychological and adaptational issues among students when schools reopen in the fall. To prepare teachers, parents, and social workers to address this critical need, No Limit Gen and the PEAR Institute are designing the first of its kind curriculum to create healing and supportive environments for children in the home and classroom as they transition back to school.
