WEBINAR: Keeping Kids and Families Safe During the COVID-19 Crisis on 5/8

12:30-1:30pm on Friday, May 8
https://ncg.org/events/keeping...ring-covid-19-crisis

For many kids, home is not a safe place. School closures and the statewide shelter in place order, combined with health fears, massive layoffs, and economic uncertainty has resulted in increased stress for families and fewer eyes on children. Current data on child abuse are hard to assess, as experts believe there is under-reporting while kids are cut off from schools, friends, and other community connections. Throughout the Bay Area, many organizations are on the front lines of the effort to keep kids and families safe during this public health and economic crisis. Presenters will share what they are seeing on the ground, what they expect to see in the future, what they are doing to support kids and families during and beyond the COVID-19 crisis, and implications for funders:
