Mission Statement
NESS Cares, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization providing resources for the mental health and special education community. History: In 2020, the lives of many changed drastically because of Covid-19. Children within the community, especially those with special needs, have experienced significant hits from the disruption of social interaction and displacement of face-to-face learning. We’ve witNESSed the need for support through the voices within our communities, thus creating NESS Cares to further reach the community by providing access to tools that help and support families.
About This Cause
Currently, NESS Cares has three core programs which are: a.) Sensory Bag Initiative: Our sensory bag initiative program aims to enhance a therapeutic environment through a Sensory Toy. A sensory toy is an object that provides the child a way to deal with external stimuli and can be used in multiple forms of Play. Children with Sensory Processing Disorder can have consistent therapy that’s accessible, without needing help from others. Play encourages young children to promote social skills like sharing, communication, decision-making, and confidence. We sent out 75 boxes last year and aim to send more this year. b.) Co-Pay Assistance: NESS Cares’ most urgent goal is to subsidize copays for behavioral health services for those with behavioral health needs. We believe that it is of the greatest importance that these services be continued regardless of a family’s ability to pay. It is for this vital program that we seek to support. Many with disabilities need behavioral healthcare in order to support their mental well-being, and indeed their lives. In the best of times, people with disabilities struggle to make themselves heard by professionals and pay for the care they need. During the pandemic, even more, people struggled to meet their copays for behavioral health services. c.) witNESS Growth Therapy Bus: NESS Cares is in the process of establishing our Space for Growth program. Classrooms and therapeutic offices are specially designed for ease of learning and skills practice, but many children don’t have access to these spaces. This is particularly true for students who need to use services through the school districts, or children who need to travel to several different specialists. NESS Cares is going to attend to this lack of space by holding several kinds of IEP accommodated therapy in a bus. Our Therapy Bus is a mobile therapy clinic for our clients in need of behavioral health services. This bus will be well-equipped for any kind of supplementary education activity for students with learning disabilities. Classrooms and therapeutic offices are specially designed for ease of learning and practicing. This ‘classroom on wheels will be a controlled environment that is accessible for the many therapeutic services many children with learning disabilities need.
