MISSION STATEMENT
With Love we can rebuild confidence in our children.
“ 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.” (1 Corinthians 13:4-7, NIV).
Navigating Trauma Through Social-Emotional Skills
Our goal is to emphasize the importance of self-expression, exploration of feelings, and aid in the reduction of fear and anxiety. We also aim to teach the children and families to appreciate the value of focusing their awareness on the present while supporting their thoughts and feelings. We want our children and families to carry on the habits we build through the program.
Navigating Trauma Key Points.
Make effort to improve the health and wellness of children and families.
Understanding of the multiple variables that are negatively impacting the children now (COVID-19, isolation) and at any point in time (family problems, social issues).
Implementation of an efficient process to identify and assist those who may be in need of additional assistance to thrive and be successful.
Increase in the number of ways we can provide support to children and families
Make effort to reinforce positive behavior patterns and create open lines for healthy communication
Parks In Parts
Our goal is to support, clean, renovate and repair parks in low-income Clayton/Fulton County areas to ensure they are safe and suitable for children and to provide them with an outlet to express their emotion and exert physical energy. Our organization is cognizant of the fact that some parks in the metro Atlanta area are in dilapidating condition and unsuitable for playing, which prevents children from having a safe outlet. In addition, public health measures implemented to contain the spread of Covid-19 have confined children at home and away from other children. This has encouraged sedentary behavior, boredom, and isolation from other children meaning it’s harder to learn how to build social relationships. Also, with children at home more than they were prior to COVID, cases of children experiencing abuse and neglect at home may be rising.
