American Rescue Plan Sends Emergency Assistance to

Families Through Home Visiting Program
 

Parents as Teachers (PAT) and other evidence-based home visiting programs operating through the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (MIECHV) will soon be receiving $150 million in emergency aid to support families and parent educators impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

PAT is a 36-year-old non-profit whose home visiting professionals partner with parents and child and family-serving organizations to improve early development, learning, and health outcomes for children while strengthening families through parent education programs.

“While home visitors have been able to triage support and resources for families, the list of participants’ needs continues to grow,” said Constance Gully, President and CEO of Parents as Teachers. “With the additional resources for MIECHV, PAT, and other evidence-based programs will be better equipped to provide appropriate, individualized, and creative supports to meet families immediate and emerging needs.

“While we serve diverse communities, essential reinforcements include technology to support virtual home visiting, diapers and wipes, food, and more. We are incredibly thankful to our MIECHV advocates in Congress for their support for home visiting,” Gully said.

Amid the dynamic and rapidly evolving COVID-19 pandemic response, home visitors have continued to serve as a trusted resource for families who already faced complex needs pre-pandemic, most of whom are coping with much more acute challenges now.

Gully said with this multiplier effect, families’ needs have increased requests for support and applications for assistance, including safe and secure housing and safe transportation, and securing necessities such as diapers and emergency food, health care, technology, and household supplies.

“Home visiting programs have adapted to become a central resource to meeting families’ essential needs and providing access to information and resources during the pandemic and as they undertake the arduous path of recovery,” she said.

PAT currently serves nearly 200,000 families in all 50 U.S. states, 115 Tribal organizations, six other countries, and one U.S. territory. Parents as Teachers National Center, Inc., is a non-profit organization headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri.

CHICAGO, March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — VelocityEHS, the global leader in cloud-based environment, health, safety (EHS) and sustainability software, announced enhancements to its industry-leading Industrial Hygiene solutions, which make it easier for mine operators to comply with the permissible exposure limits (PEL) for respirable crystalline silica enforced by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA). Metal and nonmetal miners and coal miners exposed to silica in respirable dust risk developing a myriad of short- and long-term health effects. The new update to VelocityEHS Industrial Hygiene now accounts for MSHA’s existing standards limiting U.S. miners’ exposures to silica in respirable dust, which differ from those established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).

Established under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, MSHA is essential for protecting the health and safety of those who work in the high-risk mining industry. While OSHA’s silica standards apply to general industry, maritime and construction industries, MSHA enforces different silica exposure limits for mining. The enhancements to VelocityEHS Industrial Hygiene now account for this difference, enabling U.S. mining operators to more quickly and easily input data and calculate MSHA silica PELs.

“Designed by our in-house team of Certified Industrial Hygienists, VelocityEHS Industrial Hygiene software simplifies complex IH data to provide users with rapid access and actionable insights necessary to effectively control potential exposure risks,” said Dave Risi, CIH, CSP, and Principal Solutions Strategist, Industrial Hygiene at VelocityEHS. “With expert-designed IH capabilities—like the new MSHA silica enhancement—available right out of the box, U.S. miners instantly gain greater visibility of accurate IH PEL data, while reducing the time, effort and cost required to manage their IH program.”

The new MSHA silica exposure functionality is further aided by VelocityEHS’ proprietary chemical & OEL database—which includes a growing list of over 2,000 unique workplace chemical and physical stressors, and more than 15,000 harmonized global OELs—as well as its Laboratory Integration capabilities, which provide a complete catalog of sampling analysis guides (SAGs) for more than 75 percent of IH laboratory services in North America. Part of the award-winning VelocityEHS Platform, the company’s Industrial Hygiene solutions recently received the highest scores among the top EHS software providers on the market by the independent analyst firm Verdantix in its Green Quadrant: EHS Software 2021 report.

“VelocityEHS is once again delivering dynamic solutions that streamline and simplify complex health and safety tasks in a high-risk industry,” said John Damgaard, CEO of VelocityEHS. “Mining companies today are under a great deal of scrutiny and face an array of EHS and sustainability challenges. With our easy-to-use Industrial Hygiene software, mining operators will gain better control of their safety, compliance, environmental and operational risks, so they can spend more time concentrating on the most critical elements of their business.”

New York, March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New York Film Academy (NYFA) is excited to share that MFA Filmmaking alum Meital Cohen Navarro will be screening her NYFA thesis film, Over My Dead Body, at the world-class San Luis Obispo International Festival (SLO Film Fest). The film will be competing in the Drama Shorts category and will be available to watch online through March 14, 2021. 

Over My Dead Body
is written, directed, and produced by Israeli-born female filmmaker and NYFA alum Meital Cohen Navarro. Her short film explores the taboo of religious intolerance and inter-cultural marriage after a young Jewish Persian-American woman named Isfahan tells her parents that her fiancé is Muslim. 

Over My Dead Body had its world premiere at the prestigious UK Jewish Film Festival in London last November and its North American Premiere at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival. Ahead of the film’s West Coast premiere at SLO Film Fest, Cohen Navarro received critical acclaim for Over My Dead Body from Voice of America, National Magazine Kayhan London, and the Jewish Journal. 

“As a grandchild of immigrants, making this film was an amazing journey,” recalls Cohen Navarro. “I hope the film helps families with intergenerational rifts to better understand each other: For parents to see the toll it has on their children and for the younger generation to acknowledge their parents’ equally heartbreaking cultural challenges.”

Shot in English and Farsi, Over My Dead Body features Muslim, Christian, and Jewish actors and iconic stars of Persian cinema Mary Apick (Dead End) and Bahram Vatanparast (Zan-e bakere) in leading roles.

“I believe our role as filmmakers is to project a view of our daily lives onto the silver screen with such sincerity and honesty as possible,” shares Apick. “Each character must face all challenges and obstacles that we all face every day in today’s world. Meital Cohen Navarro has certainly accomplished that delicately and beautifully in the film Over My Dead Body.”

During the film’s screening at SLO Film Fest, Cohen Navarro will also have a special live Q&A about the film with NYFA’s own Director of the NYFA Film Festival Department, Crickett Rumley, on Thursday, March 11, 2021, at 7:00 p.m. PT. The Q&A will also feature the Director of Photography for the film (NYFA alum Brad Hamilton) and the Over My Dead Body cast.

“Meital does an undeniably brilliant job of exploring the complex perspectives of a family steeped in religious and cultural traditions that they are committed to preserving,” says Rumley. “From the parents’ first awkward meeting of their daughter’s fiancé to the explosive, thought-provoking climax, anyone who has ever struggled against tradition will relate to these characters and their struggle.”

New York Film Academy congratulates the incredible recognition of alum Meital Cohen Navarro on her latest short film Over My Dead Body. For more information on the Q&A with Cohen Navarro and to purchase tickets to view her film during the festival, click here.
