Partnership with veteran owned and operated Connective Human brings awareness to organization’s mission of helping build communities

TALLAHASSEE, Fla., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ – Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) & (OTCQX: TCNNF) («Trulieve» or «the Company»), a United States-based leading medical cannabis company, announced today a new partner for their TruVet Program, a monthly program that highlights the many resources available to veterans through local and statewide organizations. Trulieve is working with Connective Human, a veteran owned and operated organization based in Central Florida, throughout the month of August.

The TruVet Program was launched this year with a goal of educating veterans on the accessibility, benefits, and uses of medicinal cannabis. Sponsored outreach programs include veteran non-profits across the nation which offer financial support, educational seminars, product explanation, and connection with local doctors in the area.

For August, Trulieve has partnered with Connective Human, whose core purpose is to connect corporations to nonprofits who encourage change in their communities. The organization hosts custom team building and wellness programs, allowing corporations to collaborate on community initiatives that solve real needs while instilling a connective and inclusive culture.

«A big part of our story is to create and encourage change in our communities, to connect with others and give businesses and nonprofits in our areas the opportunity to grow together. When veterans come back, they often struggle with reintegration; as a veteran myself, I understand how important it is to work with organizations that not only care about the community, but care about and understand the specific needs of veterans,» said Connective Human President and Founder, Beau Blouin. «Trulieve matches our mission of connecting with communities and working to encourage diversity and inclusion by offering information and resources. We’re honored to partner with them this month and look forward to further connecting with Florida’s veteran community.»

Currently, veterans are eligible for an in-store discount on Trulieve products. Trulieve also has long-standing partnerships with local veteran organizations throughout the state and encourages patients to inquire about resources at their local dispensary or on our TruVets webpage.

Trulieve also operates a TruVet Facebook Group, which functions as a resource and support group. Created for veterans, as well as their dependents or caregivers, the group helps those seeking further education in the cannabis community and support from fellow veterans.

«More than ever, we’re focused on connecting with the communities we call home and sharing the resources available to people across the state. Trulieve’s core values include embracing diversity, supporting social equity, and encouraging inclusivity, and aligning with partners like Connective Human supports these values we aim to embody daily,» said Trulieve CEO Kim Rivers. «Compassionate care is at our core, and we’re honored to work with Connective Human to continue making that possible across the state.»

As the state’s leading medical cannabis provider, Trulieve’s employees are experienced, knowledgeable, and eager to help patients. Trulieve encourages potential patients, as well as patients who are new to cannabis and our wide array of products, to connect with the staff in-store or through the online chat feature to learn more.

In stores and online, patients will find Florida’s largest selection of THC and CBD products, available in a variety of delivery methods, including smokable cannabis, concentrates, tinctures, topical creams, vaporizers, and more. Trulieve also offers home delivery statewide for patients, and convenient in-store pick-up at its 51 dispensaries in locations across the state from Pensacola to Key West.

The Office of Medical Marijuana Use recently announced the registry had surpassed 385,000 registered medical marijuana patients with an active ID card, with Trulieve consistently selling approximately half of the state’s overall volume, per the Florida Department of Health. There are more than 2,500 registered ordering physicians in the State of Florida as well.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Censeo Consulting Group, a Washington D.C.-based public sector management consulting firm, has announced the launch of a COVID-19 resource library to provide meaningful resources to prepare public sector leaders to rapidly adjust and sustain mission delivery in the face of uncertainty.

«This has been a time of unprecedented stress for our society – words like ‘Phase I’ or ‘Phase II» barely scratch the surface in terms of capturing the challenges people and their governments have faced, successfully overcome and continue to struggle with. And data from around the world suggests that even with a vaccine, this ‘new normal’ is something we will all have to live with for a while,» said Dr. Vinai Trichur, Managing Partner at Censeo and leader of the COVID-19 response team. «Through this set of resources, we wanted to provide a practical toolkit for public sector leaders as they prepare to navigate the uncertainty of the coming months.»

Leveraging the firm’s deep experience supporting public sector agencies in augmenting their organizational strategy, operational excellence, workforce effectiveness, and acquisition capabilities, Censeo’s study of public sector pandemic response across multiple countries facilitates best practice transfer among agencies at the federal, state, local, and international levels to inform strategic planning for current and potential crises. The study addresses three topics top-of-mind for leaders: 1) Creatively developing capacity in order to deliver evolving mission responsibilities, while adapting to changing workloads; 2) Managing change, including modifications to workforce, processes, and technology and to meet changing talent needs as workloads have evolved; and 3) Implementing effective telework procedures, recognizing that telework at scale is an untested challenge for many and may require developing workforce-wide trainings, near-term workarounds, long-term strategic planning, and acceleration of IT-modernization efforts.

In addition, Censeo’s pandemic preparedness toolkit includes a comprehensive organizational diagnostic to help agencies assess their resiliency to future resurgences in COVID-19 and other crises, an employee survey template to help assess remote work conditions and comfort levels with policies and procedures for returning to assigned work locations, and a series of analytical reports leveraging insights from federal spend data to inform funding decisions by agency leaders and policy makers on COVID-19 relief and response efforts.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Aug. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Kumbaya App, a marketplace for parents to hire trusted teens for paid gigs, today debuted its Pod Supporter Program to provide help to families transitioning to distance learning during the 2020-2021 school year. The Pod Supporter Program offers teens the opportunity to become in-person pod supporters while helping kids in elementary school, especially K-2, adapt to virtual and distance learning while earning hundreds to thousands of dollars per month.

In July 2020, the United States surpassed four million coronavirus cases, according to the COVID Tracking Project. However, data on COVID-19 transmission among children is still limited, and the CDC highlights that more research is needed on transmission from children to household members in the U.S. as they urge schools and families to adapt to new safety guidelines. As such, the CDC is suggesting podding (sometimes called cohorting) for students and staff to remain together while social distancing, with limited mixing between groups. Through the app, parents who are planning to implement podding can now get additional in-person support from trusted teens in their community through the Kumbaya App.

«As soon as school pod discussions started, we received many calls and messages about having teen gigsters support parents through these unprecedented times as their families adapt to new school procedures,» said Chen Levanon, the Kumbaya App’s CEO and co-founder. «We are proud to address their needs through our app and offer our new Pod Supporter Program as a solution to help solve the U.S. childcare and education crisis caused by the pandemic.»

«No one should feel hopeless,» added Dr. Adi Zief-Balteriski, chief behavioral officer and co-founder of the Kumbaya App. «Parents who want help with childcare or podding should be empowered to get it, and any teen who can work and wants to work should be able to find a job even during this pandemic. The Kumbaya App aims to solve both problems by connecting parents and teens to help each other.»

Parents in the U.S. typically spend $2,000 a year on additional child care, which will be difficult for many families to afford this year due to the unprecedented job loss caused by COVID-19. The Kumbaya App’s Pod Supporter Program puts parents in contact with trusted teens who can support their kids as they engage in virtual lessons and complete their homework throughout this unique school year. Both pod families and pod supporters will sign a COVID-19 waiver to engage in care services through the app.
