Empathic, Powerful Responses to COVID-19 Inequities by Roxy Manning | |
|
 |
|
|
COVID-19 has been devastating for people across the United States. As I read news story after story, with each conversation I had with clients, students, friends, I realized our world would never be the same. And, even more despairingly, I saw some groups bear a greater burden in this pandemic than others... |

Letter to Parents by Victoria Kindle Hodson & Sura Hart | |

 |
|
|
In this Time of Pause, we’re reminded of Marshall’s encouragement to “Take your time. It’s yours, you know.” This is one of many things we heard him say that jolted us to attention. Because while we know this intellectually—time is what we make of it—we often act as if time is out of our hands... |

Finding NVC as a Teacher by Gina Simm | |
|
 |
|
|
In my first year of retirement I’m doing a lot of reflecting on my years as a teacher. One of the big decisions a retired teacher has to make is whether or not to substitute teach. This in itself is a driving force for reflection. The reason I came to the answer of no is simple; it’s too stressful... |

Intimate Partner Violence and Child Abuse During COVID-19 | |
|
When "shelter in place" at home is not safe. | |
|
Collectively, we are experiencing trauma and facing our mortality. We are in unchartered waters, but what happens when “home” becomes unsafe? What happens if Mom or Dad relapse and become negligent parents? What happens if your spouse becomes abusive? |

Former NVC Nurse Shares About COVID-19 From the Front Lines | |
|
by Melanie Sears | |
|
Toward the beginning of the Covid-19 Pandemic, I received a text from the hospital I used to work for before I retired as a Registered Nurse five years previously. They wanted me to come back to work. I was excited to think that I could be useful in this time of need and that I could help sick people and also ease some staffing tension. I was also bored staying at home under social isolation and wanted to be in the thick of the human experience (sickness and health, life and death, hope, and despair). I started talking with some friends who still worked in health care and this is what I found out... The workplace and school were once sanctuaries, where victims of violence can temporarily seek peace and safety. Still, now with everyone at home, the victims of abuse have no place to escape. COVID-19 has resulted in diminished community support and heightened levels of distress, which are factors that can worsen domestic abuse. Seeking safety, relying on the community, and attending support groups are more difficult during this quarantine... |

"We have to wake up to the fact that everything is connected to everything else. Our safety and wellbeing cannot be individual matters anymore. If "they" are not safe, there is no way that "we" can be safe. Taking care of other people's safety is taking care of our own safety. To take care of their well-being is to take care of our own well-being. It is the mind of
discrimination and separation that is at the foundation of all violence and hate." |

Heart to Heart: Three Systems for Staying Connected: | |
|
A Manual for Parents and Teachers by Gina Simm |
|
|
Heart to Heart is written as a manual and meant to be used. Although some narrative is provided, there are charts, bullet points, lists, and templates to enable the creation of systems for the home and classroom. The purpose of these systems is to maintain our heart-to-heart connections. Our doubts as caregivers are inevitable. When those doubts kick in and we know we have a system to refer to, we can relax. We can relax because all the thinking, planning, preparing, and heartfelt wisdom that went into the creation of the systems beforehand is available to us now. With this manual at hand, when doubts and confusion arise in situations of conflict, we don't have to think it all through in the moment; that work has already been done. We can simply be available, with our open hearts, to the situation. |

“In the course of history, there comes a time when humanity is called to shift to a new level of consciousness, to reach a higher moral ground. A time when we have to shed our fear and give hope to each other. That time is now.” |
