Funding For Booklet Distribution Enables Students To Gain Tools For Controlling Difficult Emotions

Leave a comment

With the help of a generous spiritual foundation from New York City, Dee Cohen, a licensed social worker, has been given the opportunity to distribute several hundred of her stress reduction booklets titled, “How to Stay Balanced During Stressful Situations” around South Florida to schools, youth centers and other settings. These booklets incorporate tips from psychology, meditation, yoga and other techniques to help manage anger and negative emotions which are often a very destructive force in people’s lives.

Cohen is a licensed social worker as well as a certified yoga teacher, helping those who have problems with stress in their lives to overcome and transcend these issues. Her stress reduction tips consist of a number of breathing techniques, mental exercises to increase gratitude and physical stretches to stop the body from tightening. She has been practicing as a social worker for over twenty five years as well as continues to train and teach yoga. According to Dee Cohen, “If a child can learn from an early age that there are ways to dissipate daily frustrations and tensions, someone can have a new perspective and not carry anger and depressed feelings when faced with a challenging situation.”

Dee Cohen is making an effort to spread the word when it comes to helping children and young adults deal with emotional problems that affect their everyday lives. Because of the funds she has been given, she hopes that students will be able to have opportunities to review the tips and incorporate them in settings at school, family and under peer pressure.

The more donations that are received, the wider this message can be spread to different areas of the state, including counties which are particularly in need of reading materials and support for troubled youth. Organizations and individuals that would like to have a hand in making a difference in this way are encouraged to contact Dee Cohen at her website http://www.outside-the-box.net . Schools and centers that can benefit from this booklet distribution are also requested to reach Ms. Cohen.

Dee Cohen notes, “Kids enjoy breathing exercises and learn very quickly how to apply healthy techniques that can reduce responses such as anger, sadness and discouragement.They have fun with yoga poses and learn easily they can change their perspective.”There have been many recent reports in the local news on bullying, cutting oneself due to internal stress and poor anger management. During the past year there were at least two incidents in South Florida high schools that made headlines for students requiring hospitalizations from beatings by other students. Both organizations in need of these booklets as well as additional donors for distribution are encouraged to visit the website http://www.outside-the-box.net to contact the author for further information.

Sizzle Media Help local charity raise £50,000

Leave a comment

As well as businesses, UK charities are also reeling from the impact of the economic downturn over the last two years as a direct result of the lack of money people have available to donate.

Recent figures paint a gloomy outlook as the UK’s top 500 charities witnessed a fall in income since the start of the recession. According to research published in June 2010, organisations saw a drop in income of between 1.1 percent and 70%, a real loss of around £200 million.

Sizzle Media, Manchester’s fastest growing web design Manchester agency took the decision to continue their policy of business donations, but where hard cash was lacking, Sizzle Media donated their time and skills. Having previously help raise over £75,000 for the 2005 Kashmir Earthquake appeal including chartering supply flights to hard hit regions, Sizzle Media have helped The News Children’s Hospital Appeal in Manchester after being invited by Theo Paphitis to donate services. Sizzle Media designed and conducted an email marketing campaign keeping donors up to date on the charities developments..

More recently Sizzle Media donated their creative marketing services to the Five Stars Scanner Appeal helping to promote their summer fundraiser to get one step closer in finding the final £250,000 needed to buy the £1m MRI scanner for The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. The night was a star studded event with guests bidding on items such as Centre Court Wimbledon tickets, Man United memorabilia as well as a meet and greet with members of Take That. Raising around £50k, entertainment on the night come from Rose Royce lead singer Gwen Dickey, Britain’s Got Talent boy band finalists Reconnected, TV star John Thomson, and X Factor favourite Chico .

Sizzle designed and delivered a high impact email newsletter campaign through their in-house marketing platform; targeting businesses across the Northwest encouraging them to donate directly to the Five Stars appeal and to book a table at the event.

Nicola Smith wrote a personal letter of Thanks to Sizzle Media for their support “Your support means a lot to the Five Stars Appeal and the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital. Because of your help we are one step closer to buying the MRI scanner in place at the hospital helping to save lives”. The new MRI scanner is no doubt be an invaluable piece of equipment that will save lives and as the Fives Stars Scanner Appeal say “Helping little people have a better chance of becoming big people”.

Aftab Ali, Sizzle Media’s creative director said “Everyone at Sizzle Media are very pleased and very proud to have been part of the fundraising effort and encourage other businesses to help charities continue their good work by donating their skills where finances may be lacking ”.

The charities chosen to benefit from this year’s concert were the East Grinstead Museum, the Mayor of Crowborough’s Charity, and the British Engineerium Trust.

Around 1,500 were in attendance, including Mayors, District Council Chairmen, Town Councillors, and community leaders from all over the South of England. In addition, guests flew in specially from all over Europe and as far away as the United States.

The evening’s entertainment covered a wide spectrum of music – from the legendary Kenny Ball accompanied by the number one swing jazz band The Jive Aces to the Caribbean’s premier female vocalist Michele Henderson; and from award-winning Gospel singer Jesse Stevenson and rapper Chill E.B., to the Italian Queen of Jazz Elena Roggero and drummer Woody Woodmansey (best known for his years with David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars). The Academy Award-nominated Hollywood actress Anne Archer hosted the evening and presented the official cheques on stage to the representatives of each of the local charities including the Mayor of East Grinstead Cllr Stephen Barnett and the Mayor of Crowborough Cllr Mrs Kay Moss.

Now in its 14th year, the Saint Hill Gala Charity Concert has supported numerous charities, such as the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, the RSPCA , the National Drug Prevention Alliance and the Bluebell Railway Trust. The concert follows the tradition that was started by L. Ron Hubbard in the 1960’s when he resided at Saint Hill Manor and supported many of the local charities.
