We invite individuals, businesses and organizations to donate to our Continuity of Care fund which supports us to implement our Rest School and Rest School Teacher Training curriculum. This curriculum not only serves as SEL education but also as a trafficking prevention tool for our vulnerable youth.

2) Rest As Response: Events for Providers of Care 

We are inviting Businesses and organizations to sponsor our monthly events that serve providers of care. Rest is one of the most important states that the body and mind need to heal, however rest is often challenging to access.These events are designed to gently support practitioners, providers, youth workers, educators, parents, clinicians, caregivers, and community members who may be struggling with burnout, exhaustion,  and overwhelm The events provide the space to rest in community and offer rest-based trauma-responsive tools, practices, and prevention resources that can be shared with clients, students, and community members. 

With gratitude,

Jamila Jackson

Families, neighbors, and local businesses can give at any level or sponsor a specific part of the work.
