Love146

How do you talk to kids about the risks they face? At Love146, we’ve been fighting child trafficking and helping parents navigate tough conversations for many years. We’ve turned our lessons learned into weekly tips that empower you to keep your kid safe. https://lnkd.in/egfyFCsc . . . . . #ParentingTips #ChildSafety #ProtectKids #SafeKids #ParentingSupport #CaregiverSupport #KidsSafety #MomLife #DadLife #WellnessForKids

This week, Family Centered Services of CT held its Annual Walk to End Domestic Violence. Love146 was honored to receive the second-ever Changemaker Award for our work in the Greater New Haven area! ❤️

Let’s be real—raising kids can be so dang tough. From deciding when your kid is ready for a phone, to navigating their online presence, to helping them deal with people IRL (in real life) like…sometimes a manual would be nice. But sadly, they don’t have that in the diaper aisle. That’s why we at Love146 put something together. We’ve been working for decades to protect kids from exploitation and make sure they’re safe in this ever-shifting world. We want to share what we’ve learned. So right now, we’re sharing our tips for keeping your kid safe. These are no-nonsense, practical, weekly tips on things like helping your kids set boundaries, or making sure tech is working for your child instead of against them. Whether you’re a new parent, soon to have an empty nest, or helping raise kids in any capacity, there’s practical stuff here that you can use. You’ll get insightful ideas, examples for putting those ideas into practice, and resources to help you along the way. Everything’s free. We’re just trying to spread really helpful info and make the world better for kiddos. Sound like something you (or someone you know) could use? Sign up today, and we’ll send the first tip over to your inbox. https://lnkd.in/egfyFCsc

Last night, Baby Reindeer took home 6 Emmys. Have you seen it? A few of us at Love146 have, and we have thoughts! 🦌 We want to provide some framework to reflect on the critical issues it raises — particularly the stigma around sexual assault of men and boys. #babyreindeer https://lnkd.in/e3zKvE4R

Love146 is searching for our next CEO! We are seeking a strategic, innovative, operationally savvy, and culturally empathetic leader with demonstrated nonprofit experience and a passion for making a safer world for young people. Spread the word 📣 💛 Learn more and apply at: https://lnkd.in/e7HSw_wJ

We've got big news to share from Love146's CEO Rob Morris (click on link below for the full message): "The book of Ecclesiastes says, “To everything, there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” (And if you’re like me, you are now hearing the 1960s band The Byrds singing those lyrics in “Turn! Turn! Turn!”) I wanted to share with you a very significant change of seasons taking place at Love146. After leading Love146 for 22 years, the season has come for me to step down as CEO. I am transitioning to Founder in Residence until a new CEO is identified and in place. I will continue in that capacity until March 1st, 2025 to help with the transition and onboarding of the new CEO. Though my season on staff at Love146 will come to an end in March, I plan on staying engaged by remaining on our Board of Directors. This transition is coming after almost a year of engaging in a thoughtful and intentional process of succession planning. What began 22 years ago with just a handful of friends, who held a common faith, a defiant hope, and a passion to help create a safer world for children has evolved into something beyond anything we could have hoped for or imagined. We have been able to reach tens of thousands of children globally and have inspired countless people who care, like yourself, to join the fight to end the trafficking and exploitation of children. It is now time for me to pass the torch to a successor who will lead the organization into the future."

Supportive relationships and community connections are a key factor to health for ALL people. Unfortunately, many youth who come to Love146 report limited social connections. That’s why Love146 invests time and energy in helping youth expand their networks and recognize the benefits of these connections in helping to keep them healthy and safe. https://lnkd.in/gDeiiKDK
