Welcome back to Good Day Stateline.
It's Monday, which means it's time for Let's
Try It brought to you by 815Eats microwave dips tonight
Jilisa is here from Children's
Safe Harbor and it's the lazy week.
Yes, perfect for today's weather.
Absolutely.
And so what we're going to try
is it's called the manta sleep weighted mask.
So here is the mask.
Have you ever seen a weighted blanket or pillow or something?
Yeah. So feel this.
Oh, I was trying to figure it out.
Like how? What?
Like it can't be more than like £2, right?
No, it doesn't say, but it feels almost kind of relaxing
just to hold it.
Yes, it's cool to the touch too. Yeah.
So this is considered, according to the company,
the world's best 100% blackout weighted sleep mask.
So we got to, like, put it together.
So these are the eye cups.
So they're supposed to be roomy and comfortable
so that even if you have fake eyelashes on,
you can sleep with them. So let's figure this out.
You think we do this?
What do you think? Is that the case?
Maybe. Yeah, let's say that's probably how you wash it.
Yeah. So, oh, these are like this.
They're like Velcro.
Oh, so they just go in.
I guess you just go like this.
Oh, that's pretty simple.
Yeah, that's pretty smart. You want to try it?
Oh, I get to turn it.
Yeah, you get to try it, but. All right, um.
Oh, it looks good.
Oh, you want me to Velcro it for you?
Oh, let's see if we can do both.
Okay, I'm going to mess up your hair and I'll try my best.
Oh, it's nice. We got it all day.
Let's turn the other way a little bit here.
Totally.
Can you see anything?
I cannot see anything.
I am able to blink my eyes.
So there's definitely protects the lashes, which is good. Yes.
So do you feel
like you're super comfortable and you're very Zen, very sad?
They say that the even though it's weighted,
does that make me a little like
do I really want to put a weighted eye mask on?
But it's evenly distributed. Mm.
Infinitely adjustable which is quite a vibe too.
So, so streamlined, designed eye pressure, free compression.
So that's the idea.
It says it's supposed to stimulate relaxation
pressure points for quick relief from anxiety, insomnia,
tension, headaches and migraines.
I can definitely feel it before I came in.
Yeah, I felt like sinus pressure and it's sitting right there.
We're just like, nope, even increasing breathing.
Help love this.
Well, I won't let you have it.
What?
Yeah, you try it out.
Am I going to do that? I'm TV for
you. Well, this is what we think.
This is how you wash it,
which is smart, so you don't lose anything.
So that's for you up here.
So now we can talk about
what you do for a living and children safe harbor.
Tell us about Children Safe Harbor.
So I'm the executive director of the Safe Harbor and
we are a post-separation service mainly for survivors
of domestic violence.
But we're open for to the entire public
and we provide safe exchanges and safe
supervised visitation for our children.
It's trauma free.
The parents have no interaction
because sometimes things get messy separation,
but it's no contact between the two parents and the children.
Just get to connect with the other parent.
And with that space in between, that's awesome.
That's so important. It is. That's very important.
How long have you guys been around?
And so we started doing services in 2009.
We were just doing exchanges
and then we added supervised visits
in partnership with the courts.
I was going to say, I'm sure this facility facilitates
another need.
Obviously the emotional need for children
to have the safe harbor, but then for the courts to kind of,
you know,
you guys have
a lot to make sure everything is
what they're expecting and what they want.
Yeah.
So our relationship with the court is mainly in terms
of, you know, how do I
because it's interesting.
Yeah,
the courts will give us recommendations
for families who need our services,
but that's kind of as far as it goes.
You don't want to be in evidence producing agency where we're
being used in the courts as like another tool to either
incriminate one right or the other.
We want to stay out of the drama in that way.
But they're telling you that we they think
that this would be a great spot for this family. Yeah.
And you guys are like, awesome.
We want to be the helping spot. Exactly.
Which is like. Well, yes.
And one of our goals is even outside of court
recommendations where it's just like you have a breakup,
you immediately use our services. Yeah.
Because on the other side of it, we're
also preventing family violence.
We're preventing,
unfortunately, like in domestic violence
situations, the scariest time is when the survivor decides
to leave, right?
So if we're
able to be that service to keep them out of that relationship
because they're still allowed to exchange
children, we're preventing, like,
you know, homicides and other, like, scary situations.
Absolutely.
So are you guys looking ever for volunteers
or fundraising efforts or how can the community help you guys?
So we do do a couple of fundraisers.
We did our glitz and glam gala earlier this year,
so we're bringing that back next year.
We're also exploring a couple other ideas for next year.
COVID, unfortunately, kind of.
What a bummer.
I know, right? Everything.
But we used to do an annual dodgeball event
where the community
could come out, challenge friends, challenge
other organizations for dodgeball.
So we'll see if that's on the lineup for next year. Right.
How can we follow along with
you guys to see, you know, you know,
what fundraising events is, their social media page.
We can follow our website.
Yeah. So our website is still just safe harbor dot net. Okay.
It's kind of under construction.
So, you know, be a little gracious.
Yes, be a little gracious.
Other than that,
our Facebook page is probably our main try to keep up with us.
Also, when you can get that right on our screen,
you can get a sleep mask for yourself at mantasleep.com.
Thank you so much for coming in.
Thank you, enjoy your relaxation. Be lazy.
I'm going to love this.
Thank you so much. You're welcome. We'll be right back
