Welcome

When COVID-19 hit Seattle, our family rose to the challenge. Three of us sought out 7 others and became an interdisciplinary team of 10. We created this educational nonprofit and named it the Social Safety Initiative. 

Some of our highlights:

• Taught mask-wearing 5 weeks before the CDC supported it,
• Developed a PPE supply chain for 6,000+ represented employees, 
• Conducted multiple site risk assessments across 2 states,
• Built a web-based resource of definitions, training and tutorials,
• Created a forum where kids learn social hygiene from a kid,
• Donated 3,500 masks at 12 community locations,
• Created an animated kid’s song normalizing mask-wearing with Spanish subtitles,
• Created a 3-hr online course on Disease Transmission and Social Hygiene,
• Created a live-action animated public service announcement: CoVella vs the World.
• Wrote a 60-page copyrighted site operator safety manual.
