Power of Two

Join Power of Two and Keli Young and Jawanza Williams from Voices Of Community Activists & Leaders (VOCAL-NY) this Friday, June 11th at 12:00-1:00 as they discuss what defunding the police means. You can submit questions to [email protected] or during the livestream broadcast.

As your partner in community and an organization that sits at the intersection of all social justice issues, please join us and Vocal New York at Betsy Head Park in #Brownsville this Saturday, May 22nd at 3pm, for a BBQ and community conversation on compelling the City of New York to invest in our communities while defunding the police to help end police violence against Black, brown, and poor people. Our Co-Founder and Executive Director, Erasma Beras-Monticciolo, will be pa...rt of this important conversation on "investing in the kinds of alternatives to punishment and policing - like housing, social services, and care - because we know that creating and maintaining safety does not have to come with police occupation, boots, mace, guns, and handcuffs." "It's time for a Caring and Compassionate New Deal for New Yorkers. We want to hear from you, and we want to imagine a different city for us and by us." - Keli Young & Jawanza Williams, Vocal NY #poweroftwo #poweroffamilies #PowerofParenting #powerofcommunity #socialjustice #brooklyn #BrownsvilleBrooklyn #CommunityConversation #defundthepolice We Run Brownsville News 12 Brooklyn United for Brownsville Brownsville Brooklyn News Spectrum News NY1

Delighting in your child's exploration of the world and following their lead as they learn new skills is an important way for your child to gain the confidence to thrive. At Power of Two we know that New York City’s communities are strong; its families are resilient. Sometimes, though, prolonged exposure to adversity (known as toxic stress) can disrupt the development of strong parent-child bonds, with potential consequences for children’s healthy development. Our approac...h to community engagement promotes positive outcomes for New York City’s families through the evidence-based Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-up (ABC) parent coaching approach. By partnering with families over the course of 10 hour-long sessions, we help parents interact sensitively and responsively to their young children. We also connect families with additional resources in their communities. What results are stronger families, healthier communities, and healing from the effects of toxic stress.
