The holidays can be hard. We all know it. Underneath the commercials, the carols, and the merriment can sometimes lurk a harsher reality. You are not alone. We have your back. https://www.columbusunitedway.com/mentalhealth

Rosalyn Carter once said, “There are only four kinds of people in the world: those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers.”

Caregivers, also known as “home care workers,” strengthen our communities by providing care, companionship and support for older adults and people with health conditions and disabilities. A caregiver’s work allows their clients to live at home with dignity, while providing peace of mind to their families.

Like many essential roles, caregiving is physically and emotionally taxing. Amidst the demands of caring for others, caregivers’ mental health is overlooked. In fact, estimates show 40-70% of caregivers have depressive symptoms, with 25-50% of caregivers meeting criteria for major depression. This can be due to compounding stressors, like time or financial constraints, social isolation inherent to the job and limited support systems.

An understanding of the unique challenges of the profession, and its structural policy gaps, can inform the work to build systems to support caregivers’ mental health. https://www.nami.org/Blogs/NAMI-Blog/November-2022/Building-Stronger-Mental-Health-Support-for-Caregivers

Matilda had Ms. Honey, Harry had Dumbledore, and Cady had Ms. Norbury. Considering that teachers mold future generations, taking one day every year to say “thank you” is the least we can do.

Matilda tenía a la Sra. Honey, Harry tenía a Dumbledore y Cady tenía a la Sra. Norbury. Teniendo en cuenta que los maestros moldean a las generaciones futuras, tomarnos un día al año para decir “gracias” es lo mínimo que podemos hacer.

It’s aggressive, mean, and potentially life-threatening. Bullying comes in many forms, none of which are acceptable. October’s National Bullying Prevention Month reminds us that students, parents, teachers, and school administrators all play a role. Positive change comes as we emphasize respect and inclusion on campuses across the country.

History of CFP & Funded Programs

The Child Well Being Coalition was started in 2010 with a group of community organizations coming together to draft a community assessment and strategic plan. In 2011, steps were taken and the coalition was officially formed. The coalition received funding from the Nebraska Child Abuse Prevention Fund (NCAPF) through the Nebraska Children and Families Foundation (NCFF). The goal of the Child Well Being Coalition collaborative and its partners is to promote positive protective factors for families to prevent child abuse and neglect.

In 2014, the coalition was renamed Zero 2 Eight Child Well Being Coalition. In 2017, as the statewide groups expanded their focus beyond youth, the name changed to Zero 2 Eight Community Well Being Coalition.

In Fall 2018, the process was started to become a standalone 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. This allowed for the change in the Coalition’s name. Community and Family Partnership (CFP) better reflects the focus on community and family as a whole.

CFP is a partnership of more than thirty organizations. A Leadership Board of about 14 members steers the Partnership. And, a full-time Coordinator manages the funding, reporting, marketing, and facilitates monthly meetings.
