One of the best things about working for Totem Consulting (and there are many!) is being connected to The Totem Foundation. Each time we deliver an internal knowledge sharing session to the team, The Foundation donates a fee to the charity of our choosing. For my session on Positive Psychology this month I chose Gingerbread (www.gingerbread.org.uk). Gingerbread has been helping to support single parents and influence policy since 1918. Here are some stats about single parents in the U.K. I didn’t know before: ❗ Almost a quarter of families with dependent children in the UK are single parent families.  🚺 90% of single parents are women  📌 28% have a disability (compared to 14% of couple parents) 🛑 21% are from a Black or minority ethnic background (compared to 16% nationally)  ➡ The average age of a single parent is 39 I have such respect for anyone who finds themselves as a single parent, for whatever reason. I’m pleased to have been able to play a small part in supporting this important group in our society by nominating Gingerbread. #singleparents #giving #positivepsychology #charity

YOU CAN HELP! For 325 days (and Counting) I've raised the alarm that youth 10 to 19 have no emergency #safe housing anywhere in Ocean or Monmouth County, NJ. CLCL Foundation has innovative solutions to address and end youth homelessness, plus supports for families, caregivers, and resource parents. As a former foster and adopted youth and teen runaway, I know how powerful interventions can be in creating better outcomes. You can help BE THE CHANGE by donating to the registered 501(c)(3), Choose love. Celebrate life. A Foundation for Youth and Families, Inc. Or joining the CLCL team to create evidence-based, trauma-informed, antiracist and inclusive programs. Only together can we have enough wisdom to do this is right way -- the better way. https://clclfoundation.org

When survivors turn to us for shelter and support, they trust us to help them on their journey to safety and independence. The level of wrap-around care we provide to folks and families during some of their most vulnerable life moments would not be possible without the trust and generosity from our donors and community allies. $25 per month can help one survivor take the first steps toward an abuse-free life. $50 per month can help provide outreach counselling to one survivor. $100 per month can help keep our 24-hour crisis line running for one month. $250 per month can help provide a mom and their child with transitional support. Each and every gift is a gift of hope, support, and choices at Gillian’s Place. #monthlyally #donate #waystogive #breakthecycle #makeyourimpact #grateful #community #support #gbv #endgbv #getinvolved
