\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
WHAT IS KIDPOWER-VIRGINIA?
\nKidpower Virginia – serving residents of the State of Virginia – is the local grassroots office of a small (< 1.2M budget) community-based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in Santa Cruz, CA in 1989. It teaches, coaches and PRACTICES (until integrated) non-scary child protection, positive peer interaction, and mental and behavioral relationship health and safety skills that help protect young people from (cyber)bullying, harassment, molestation, abduction, sex trafficking and other overt and insidious forms of mental and physical violence and abuse; and empower them to develop strong, healthy and safe relationships that enrich\/transform their lives. <\/p>\n
ISSUE:
\nWe are facing an unprecedented national youth mental health and safety crisis. Young people struggle with high levels of conflicts, stress, anxiety, helplessness\/despair\/depression, suicide attempts, and other negative impacts on their mental and physical well-being that are driving many to a breaking point.<\/p>\n
HOW WE PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE:
\nAccording to Dan Heath, the best-selling author of The Question to Solve Problems Before They Happen, "Kidpower works upstream to prevent and stop the harm and trauma caused by traumatic incidences.<\/p>\n
Our $25,000 Initiative \u2018Vaccine Against ACEs\u2019 is aimed at equipping 250 of the most at-risk and vulnerable youth and their support systems throughout Virginia with prevention and restorative intervention tools and skills to keep themselves physically and emotionally healthy and safe. It will be conducted in collaboration with long term partner education, health and wellness organizations throughout Virginia. Please, see Kidpower\u2019s Mental & Behavioral Health Skills, Strategies and Resources as tools used in the prevention & healing of trauma: kidpower.org\/MentalHealth\/<\/p>\n
Being successful in PRACTICING (until integrated) how to take charge of our safety, mental and behavioral health, and emotional welfare, can replace helplessness with competence and confidence – and despair with healing and hope – leading to the prevention or reduction of much suffering.\n<\/p>\n
