Ines Garcia was featured in our 2020 Annual Report Ines Garcia was featured in our 2020 Annual Report for her commitment to community engagement: "Mothers of Peace is a multi-faith and multi-cultural group. It exists to be a space for mothers to cry, to share what we are going through, to help us deal with anxieties and concerns, for many, to grieve and heal from losses and trauma. It makes such a difference to us and other residents. It allows us to see that they are not crazy for feeling, thinking, and acting in a certain way. That many other people are going through something similar. Being part of this group gives us confidence. It’s also a place for action, we work to find solutions for the issues that affect our community. We work hard to give residents the information they need and support in any way we can." – Ines Garcia, Co-Chair & Member, Mothers of Peace.

“Since I started the AU program, they have helpe “Since I started the AU program, they have helped me immensely to improve my reading, writing, math, and computer skills. Especially in my communication skills, they helped me to improve my public speaking, which was a great challenge beforehand. And now I am confident in those skills in my advocacy roles with Mothers of Peace. Motivational Learning helped me incredibly to deal with my personal challenges and set personal goals, which was a blessing. Finally, the digital tech class was an amazing learning experience for me. Before it, I had zero computer skills. Now I can confidently take daily challenges that come in my way, with Technology, English, and Math. And I owe it all to the AU program.“ – Hajia Abubakar, Academic Upgrading Program Participant #adultlearning #lifelonglearning #academicupgrading

"As the pandemic hit, we were no longer able to tr "As the pandemic hit, we were no longer able to train new helpline volunteers who were needed more than ever to respond to more, and more urgent, calls. CL&D provided the expertise, guidance and support for DCGT to quickly move from an in-person to a virtual training model using the Virtual Social Change Hub. We found the platform to be user-friendly for both facilitators and students and appreciated the variety of tools that were available for customization based on an individual course’s needs. Course content can be structured in various ways to optimize individual and group learning. As well, the option to facilitate live sessions within the platform works well with our training needs. The platform has helped us ‘professionalize’ our approach to training, has greatly increased staff efficiency in working with students, and is an effective communication portal for before, during, and after course facilitation. Students appreciate the ability to access materials, surveys, and quizzes all through the same platform. CL&D was incredibly responsive, professional, and consistently supportive in helping and guiding us to utilize the Virtual Social Change Hub to ensure uninterrupted training of essential workers in this most challenging time." – Robert Ridge, Executive Director, @distresscentresgta #mentalhealthmatters #virtualtraining #strongcommunitiestogether
