The child care crisis in Nevada is affecting employers and working families more than ever. At the recent Fallon Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Patty West, our Northern Nevada Coordinator, highlighted this pressing issue and shared solutions through the “Best Places for Working Parents” program. With 72% of Nevadans living in child care deserts, finding quality care is a challenge for many. Employer-supported child care can be a game changer, offering benefits like increased productivity and better work/life integration. Let’s work together to support our families and build stronger communities. https://lnkd.in/gfrsvY-2

Keeping Children Safe and Families Together since 1985.
About us
Since 1985, The Children’s Cabinet’s mission has been to keep children safe and families together by providing services and resources that address unmet needs through a unique and effective cooperative effort between the private sector and public agencies in Nevada. By offering a wide range of community programs, the goal of the agency’s founders was to create a lasting public/private partnership to address the needs of children and their families in our community. In the past year, The Children’s Cabinet helped more than 10,000 families. The Children’s Cabinet’s work extends past the immediate needs of youth and families to promote happy, healthy families. Offering more than 20 programs for children (birth to 24 years old), services include providing food and shelter, crisis intervention and case management, academic support, tutoring, job training and transitional living, parenting classes, child care subsidies, child care resource and referral assistance, and free family counseling. The Children’s Cabinet provides a wide range of crisis intervention services, including Safe Place, a service available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for youth experiencing violence, abuse or exploitation. Programs also include runaway and homeless youth services, substance abuse and gang intervention programming, work experience training, and independent living for former foster care youth. As a non-profit agency, The Children’s Cabinet relies upon community support in order to offer programs and services at no charge to at-risk children and their families.

Today, on National Grief Awareness Day, we recognize the profound impact grief has on our lives. Understanding how grief affects youth is essential for families and caregivers, as it plays a crucial role in shaping our relationships with them. Here are some tips for when youth experience grief: Grief in Babies & Toddlers: Babies and toddlers sense changes and adult distress. They may feel abandoned if someone significant is missing, expressing grief through: 🔵Increased crying, irritability 🔵Clinginess 🔵Anxiety around strangers 🔵Loss of interest in play or food 🔵Searching for the deceased Grief in Preschoolers: Preschoolers may not understand that death is permanent and might repeatedly ask about the deceased returning. Their grief can appear as: 🔵Crying, clinginess 🔵Fearfulness, irritability 🔵Tantrums 🔵Changes in eating, sleeping, or toileting 🔵Grief in School-Aged Youth School-aged children usually understand death's permanence. Their grief may show as: 🔵Separation anxiety 🔵Fear for health and safety 🔵Physical symptoms 🔵Strong emotions, behavior issues 🔵Changes in eating or sleeping 🔵Grief in Adolescents & Teens Teens need compassionate support during grief, not solutions. Their emotions can be intense, including: 🔵Anger, mood swings 🔵Guilt, sadness 🔵Social isolation, numbness 🔵Sleeplessness, trouble focusing Supporting Grieving Youth Grieving youth need strong, supportive relationships. Help them by: 🔵Being honest and age-appropriate 🔵Listening and answering questions 🔵Acknowledging their grief 🔵Offering creative outlets 🔵Maintaining consistent boundaries 🔵Reassuring them of love and care 🔵Being patient—grief takes time
