.@TacomaMission already has overflow bunks in their cafeteria to shelter extra people overnight. The city’s camping ban goes into effect today, some camps already scheduled for removal. We’re talking to organizations about how the new ban is affecting the work they do @komonews

(1/4) At the Mission's Youth Program, we talk a lot about the importance of providing a safe and supportive space to let play. While the word "play" comes across as something frivolous or non-essential, here's why "play" can be so crucial for kids' development . . .

(4/4) "Play seems to be the driving force helping to sculpt how the brain continues to grow and develop." With that in mind, it's easy to see why play is important for any child and why it's a crucial part of our youth programming at the Mission. Source: Brown, S. "Play" (p. 40)

(2/5) Then those dichotomous groups are viewed as opposites. An example is "us" versus "them" mentality or dividing people into "ingroups" (groups we identify with or belong to) and "outgroups" (groups we don't) . . . [Source: Julia Serano - Author, Activist & Biologist]

(3/5) Researchers have shown that people tend to perceive "out-group" members as more negative, extreme, and stereotypical. They are more likely to be generalized by those viewing them from their "in-group" . . . [Source: Julia Serano - Author, Activist & Biologist]

(4/5) Unfortunately, our neighbors experiencing homelessness are seen as an "out-group" by many. They, in addition to the trauma of experiencing homelessness, are often stereotyped or seen as negative or extreme . . . [Source: Julia Serano - Author, Activist & Biologist]

(5/5) We are inviting you to think about how "The Opposites Mindset" may play a role in your daily life, specifically, when you come across a neighbor who is experiencing homelessness. And let's discuss. [Source: Julia Serano - Author, Activist & Biologist]

Here are some pics from our Youth Program trip to The Seattle Aquarium. This summer, the kids and teens in our youth program had the opportunity to do some pretty rad activities. Thank you to our awesome community for making these trips possible.

Today, we'd like to think about acceptance and unity. We all exist on the chain of human life, and helping one person ultimately helps us all. We hope you'll carry these thoughts with you into your week. #Acceptance #Unity #Welcoming
