“Our COVID-19 Thrive Campaign is creating two jobs (virtual therapist and support staff member), who are helping a third person get back on their feet,” says founder Lequita Brooks. “Those out of work need mental health and career coaching support to re-enter the workforce.

Sponsorship includes six months of virtual coaching support via a HIPAA-compliant platform, unlimited text support, an individualized COVID-19 Thrive Plan, solution-focused strategies, and referrals for additional services as-needed. “Company sponsorships are the ideal way for businesses to help laid-off employees re-enter the workforce,” notes Brooks. “There’s a way for any individual, philanthropist, or company to get involved in this program including, volunteer positions, individual benefactors, and company sponsorships.

Close Contact LOCAL HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATIONS ARE DOING MORE THAN AIDING THOSE WHO HAVE TESTED positive for COVID-19—they’re helping determine who else might have caught it, too. Those who test positive for the novel coronavirus are urged to contact the state Department of Health, which will help patients trace back two days prior to the onset of symptoms. Contact Tracing allows for the identification of those who may have come into contact with an infected person and the subsequent collection of further information about these contacts. So if you test positive for COVID and aren’t quite sure when you got it, you can narrow it down (and then notify others who you may have come in contact with). If you want to go further back than two days, though, you can actually become a professional yourself. Johns Hopkins University has now waived the fee for its contact tracing training course, and is currently training thousands across the U.S. u
