You add that two-way piece, it can be very isolating.
And often you don't know where to turn.
And so that's what we are trying to do.
We are a nonprofit.
We are very small.
And, you know, we do need the support of families and communities out there to keep going.
But we have been for 30 years now, 35 years, and we will continue to do so as long as we can.
But yeah, I would encourage the listeners to check us out, and if they can support in some way or another, that would be awesome, because I really believe in this mission.
I believe it is so important, because I believe we may be one of the only organizations out there that really supports that social-emotional part of the child, of the adult.
And we tackle giftedness all the way from birth to elder, so we need to do a better job of doing more stuff for gifted adults, but...
That is kind of what we do.
Yeah, this is one of the most vulnerable populations out there.
They are affected by daily events.
They're affected by daily news.
I remember back when 9-11 happened, we were losing kids.
friends and communities that were just falling into deep depression and, um, you know, a term we call existential depression, meaning they don't quite understand the world around them.
They, they realize they don't fit into the world around them and that can be, that can be devastating.
So if they don't have the social emotional support, they don't have, you know, that, that development of those type of social emotional habits that are going to help them navigate through the day, they can be lost.
Um,
There's a lot of work being done.
