AN update from Happiness Toolbox for families

3/17/2020

 
Dear BRIDGE Families,

The BRIDGE team is extending immense love and care to you all during this time of great concern and the unknown. We hope that this letter finds you and your family hunkering down in good health and using your many character strengths (especially courage, patience, and creativity!) to get through this time.

First and foremost, we are writing to check in, let you know what resources are available, and find out how we can best support you and your family.  
​

Copied below are a list of community resources, including Berkshire County locations offering grab & go breakfast and lunches for students. If you or your family are in need of support with food or supplies pick-ups, send requests to [email protected] so we can support you in getting what you need. Please call the office if you do not have email. It may take 2-3 business days given our COVID-19 schedule.
​

We also wanted to share some digital resources that may be helpful during this time:
  • Anxiety Management for Kids during Coronavirus 
  • Parenting Tips for Coronavirus 
  • Scholastic Resources for Learning at Home 
  • 12 Virtual Museum Tours

We are deeply committed to seeing our community through safely, in good health, and in a sound body until we can all be together again. The Coronavirus is creating challenges for all of us but we know that we will make it through together with lots of love, communication, and care. We will keep you updated with new information, community resources/supports available, and will be sharing a Happiness Toolbox Webinar as well as at-home activity project ideas. 

Please reach out to let us know how you are doing and how BRIDGE can make our best effort to support you with food/supplies pickup & delivery, community connections, or other needs that may arise during this time. 

Again, we are taking all requests at [email protected]. If you are in need of help connecting with services, please contact [email protected] separately.

Sending Love,
Your BRIDGE Family

Stephanie Wright, Lead Educator and Community Engagement Coordinator 
Ari Cameron, BRIDGE Co-Chair 
Gwendolyn VanSant, CEO and Founding Director

Estimadas familias de BRIDGE:

El equipo de BRIDGE está extendiendo un inmenso amor y cuidado a todos ustedes durante este tiempo de gran preocupación a lo desconocido. Esperamos que esta carta les encuentre a usted y su familia acurrucados con buena salud y utilizando sus fortalezas de carácter (¡especialmente coraje, paciencia y creatividad!) Para superar este momento.
En primer lugar, estamos escribiendo para saber de ustedes e informarles qué recursos están disponibles y descubrir cómo podemos apoyar mejor a usted y a su familia.

A continuación, se incluye una lista de recursos de la comunidad, incluidas las ubicaciones del condado de Berkshire que ofrecen desayunos y almuerzos para llevar a los estudiantes. Si usted o su familia necesitan apoyo para recoger alimentos o suministros, envíe sus solicitudes a [email protected] para que podamos ayudarlo a obtener lo que necesita. Por favor llame a la oficina si no tiene correo electrónico. Puede tomar de 2 a 3 días hábiles dado nuestro programa COVID-19.

También queríamos compartir algunos recursos digitales que pueden ser útiles durante este tiempo:
  • Manejo de ansiedad para niños durante el coronavirus
  • Consejos para padres sobre el coronavirus
  • Recursos escolares para aprender en casa
  • 12 visitas virtuales al museo

Estamos profundamente comprometidos a ver nuestra comunidad de manera segura, con buena salud y un cuerpo sano hasta que podamos estar todos juntos nuevamente. El Coronavirus está creando desafíos para todos nosotros, pero sabemos que lo lograremos juntos con mucho amor, comunicación y cuidado. Lo mantendremos actualizado con nueva información, recursos ,apoyos comunitarios disponibles, y compartiremos un seminario en internet de Happiness Toolbox, así como ideas de proyectos de actividades en el hogar.

Comuníquese con nosotros para informarnos cómo le está yendo y cómo BRIDGE puede hacer el mejor esfuerzo para apoyarlo con la recolección y entrega de alimentos / suministros, conexiones con la comunidad u otras necesidades que puedan surgir durante este tiempo.

Nuevamente, estamos tomando todas las solicitudes en [email protected]. Si necesita ayuda para conectarse con los servicios, comuníquese con [email protected] por separado.
Enviando amor,

Tu familia BRIDGE

Stephanie Wright, educadora principal y coordinadora de participación comunitaria
Ari Cameron, Coopresidenta de BRIDGE
