📣NYC Advocacy Opportunity📣 Today, NY1 is reporting that the Mayor and City Council are still far off from a budget deal with only two weeks to go until the deadline. Though a bit troubling, this news means there is still time to make a difference in the budget through CCC's four campaigns. Help us urge the Mayor and City Council to put families and children first in the budget by: investing in needed food and housing supports amid ongoing affordability crises; rejecting and reversing budget cuts to child care programs; and investing in critical behavioral health services.

Explain to them the difference between a secret and a surprise: A surprise makes someone happy and we plan on telling people about it. Help your child understand that telling you about secrets is not tattling or snitching, and can help you keep them safe. April is #ChildAbuseAwarenessMonth. Follow along as we post tips that you can save and share with others to help make the community a safer place for children.

When I experienced my own bout of long-term unemployment during the economic downturn of 2008/9, like many of you, I never expected to be out of work for so long and face downward mobility for the first time. This experience led me to advocate for older adults in similar situations. But advocacy is only the first step; action is crucial. NUUage is a manifestation of this action step. It’s mission is to offer cost-effective coliving housing with shared amenities and tailored services to assist older adults aging independently on moderate incomes. #Advocacy #RetirementCrisis #NUUageColiving #SharedHousing #CommunityLiving #Affordablehousing #seniors #Coliving

Supervising any activity your child is involved in and making unannounced visits can send a message to others that your child's boundaries should not be crossed. Remember, this is not a message meant just for "strangers," but also for people your child knows in their day-to-day life, including other children. April is #ChildAbuseAwarenessMonth.

Caregiving for a loved one is among the most demanding, challenging, and rewarding human activities. Although children are commonly thought of as the recipients of care – rather than the givers – children all over the world participate actively in caregiving every day. The US does yet not have formal policies or support systems in place for these young people as we do for adult caregivers. Furthermore, schools do not typically identify or provide support for Caregiving Youth, which puts them at risk for academic, social, and emotional challenges. In the UK, the rights of “young carers” are recognized and upheld by national governments, caregiving advocacy groups, health care services, and schools. The United States needs to do the same. #CaregivingYouth #YoungCaregivers #KidsAreCaregiversToo #YoungCarers *** Image Credit CNN Top Ten Heroes 2012.

Encouraging independence in young children learning about toileting, bathing, and personal care can help to minimize opportunities for others to cross their body boundaries. As they are becoming independent, you can teach children that it is not appropriate for other people to touch, see, or 'play with' their private parts. April is #ChildAbuseAwarenessMonth.

Meet everyone involved in your child’s life – teachers, camp counselors, coaches, program staff, etc. Don't assume someone is trustworthy simply because of their title or background check. Getting to know the other people in your child's life sends a message that you are someone who pays attention; this is a protective factor for children. April is #ChildAbuseAwarenessMonth.

2024 LinkedIn Top Voice + Supplier of the Year | Working Mom | Popular Public Speaker | Two-Time National Award Winner | Advocate For Women In Leadership | Chief Chaos Coordinator
This is a reality. There is a shortage of child care availability making it harder to obtain adequate resources for working parents. And if you are able to find child care, it’s likely you struggle to make ends meet with the growing costs. There has to be a better solution. Last night, over 13,000 moms, advocates, and allies raised their voices to address the growing child care crisis ahead of the presidential debate. We need to hear plans for: 💰 Lowering child care costs 🫂 Making child care more accessible 🧃 Ensuring child care facilities can keep their doors open and pay their staff fairly, so they can continue providing the essential care needed by parents across the country Together, let's collectively work to inspire change. 👏🏼 #WorkingParents #Change #Politics #debate #childcare #election
