More than 250 students and chaperones from 30 high schools attend third annual event

      WARWICK, RI (January 27, 2026) – More than 250 Rhode Island high school students and chaperones representing 30 schools attended the third annual RIIL/KyleCares Teen Mental Health Summit, January 8, 2026 at Gaige Hall on the Rhode Island College campus. The workshop - provided free of charge to students from RIIL member high schools – was part of a unified proactive approach by the RIIL and KyleCares - also made possible with the support of RIC's Student Success - to advocate for mental health awareness across the RIIL community. The goal was for students to leave the Summit armed with knowledge about how to help both themselves and their peers and inspired to positively impact their schools, by leading a change in culture as mental health advocates.

     The conference began with keynote speaker Donovan Taylor Hall in Gaige auditorium. An educator, content creator and youth advocate dedicated to helping young people build positive self-identity, Hall utilizes social-emotional learning and youth development to create programs that empower kids to become their own best friend, boosting life satisfaction, motivation and self-determination.

After listening to the keynote speaker, students and chaperones spent the rest of the morning rotating through nine breakout sessions that touched on a range of topics revolving around . Donovan Taylor Hall moderated a student panel called, “From Awareness to Action: Student Leaders Making a Difference.” The panel featured Hope Moran from East Providence High School, Sophie Boisvert from North Smithfield High and Lincoln High’s Snigdha Kethineni, and the student leaders discussed how they have created successful Active Minds Chapters at their respective schools.

Megan Burke was back for a second year to lead a “Cuerd@s Empathy & Embroidery Workshop,” where students embroidered patches of fabric with self-soothing textures. The embroidered patches will be sewn together to create a blanket that will be donated to a local group home, hospital or mental health program.

Dr. Jonathan Jenkins, a clinical and sport psychologist, spoke on “From Chaos to Composure: The Mental Shift Young Student-Athletes Need Now.” Dr. Jenkins, who works with the New England Patriots, has just co-authored a new book titled “Mentality Wins: The Athlete’s Playbook for Thriving in Sport and Life” with Dr. Kimberly O’Brien. At the mental health summit, he illustrated how maintaining composure under stress – both on the athletic field and in life - is a skill that can be trained, providing the students with simple mental performance strategies.

Dr. James Geisler, a higher education professional and author who supports college student mental health, gave an enlightening talk on, “Beyond the Brochure: Preparing Your Mental Health for the First Year of College.” He discussed the often unexpected obstacles and challenges students face as they make the transition from high school to college and provided tips on how to navigate that first year to help students “not just survive, but thrive academically and personally.”

“When pressure is high and self-doubt kicks in, it’s easy to let your inner critic call the shots,” says Dr. Jill Stoddard. In Dr. Jill Stoddard’s session, titled “Your Compass, Not Your Critic: Choosing Values When Your Inner Critic Gets Loud,” Dr. Stoddard passed along some helpful tools students can use to develop greater confidence, clarity and resilience instead of “letting fear steer the wheel” when high pressure situations and anxiety start leading to self-doubt.

A discussion called "Unfiltered" Conversation: How to Ditch the Pressure for Perfection,” was led by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island Behavioral Health Team Resean Lighty, Roxanne Aguiar and Deborah Hicks. They looked at the impact of body image on mental health and discussed ways we can care for our mind and body, emphasizing the role nutrition and sleep play on our mental health.

Dr. Lisa Coyne, an author, clinical psychologist and educator at Harvard Medical School, talked about “How to Help a Friend: Being Braver Together.” That discussion looked at how to be a good friend both to others and ourselves and suggested ways “to grow a supportive group of friends to help you be yourself boldly, with self kindness, and bravery.”

In a session titled “Storytelling & Mental Health,” Jake Miskin, producer of the 2025 award-winning independent film Shattered Ice, showed attendees clips from his film and discussed how characters in a film or television series can help break the ice, so to speak, and inspire audiences to begin having difficult conversations about their own feelings and struggles.

Young adult speaker Muzna shared the many struggles she encountered as a young Muslim girl of color from Pakistan living in a predominantly white town in the United States. She talked about how friends and running track helped her begin accepting her identity and also how therapy and family counseling helped her achieve a healthier balance in her life.

St. Raphael Academy's Director of Guidance Malaina Murphy and colleague Leslie Keenehen staffed the Mental Health Support Lounge, a space that was made available for any attendees who needed a quiet space to calm and center themselves at any point during the conference.

Elizabeth O'Dea, the Director of Community Engagement for Horizon Healthcare Partners, and 988 Community Network Coordinator Jo’el Tillinghast were also on hand to provide information and resources for those who needed it.

The summit concluded with lunch at the Student Union, as well as an Active Minds Chapter Fair, where student advocates from several Rhode Island high schools shared examples with their peers of how they’re taking the lead at their schools to raise awareness and proactively change their school’s culture.

There's a world of difference between moving objects and moving what people love. Anyone can transport a box from one place to another. But it takes something special to transport a memory, a dream, a piece of someone's heart. At Gati Packers, this understanding is at the core of everything we do. We don't just see furniture and boxes when we walk into your home or office. We see the stories, the milestones, and the everyday moments that make your life uniquely yours. This is why our work is more than a service—it's a responsibility we handle with genuine care and affection.

What Does It Mean to Move with Love?

Moving with love isn't just a nice phrase. It's a commitment that shows up in big and small ways throughout your relocation journey.

Love is in the Attention It's the extra layer of padding we add to your child's first artwork. It's the careful way we wrap your grandmother's vintage tea set, knowing it's been passed down through generations. It's the patience we show when you're feeling overwhelmed, offering a kind word and a calm presence. Love means we see the value in your possessions that goes far beyond their price tag.

Love is in the Respect We treat your spaces as if they were our own. You'll find us using floor protectors, being mindful of walls, and cleaning up as we go. We respect your time by arriving when we say we will and keeping you updated throughout the process. This respect is our way of showing we value you and your trust.

Love is in the Understanding We know that moving is emotional. It's about closing one chapter and starting another. There's excitement, but there can also be sadness and stress. Our teams are trained to be more than just movers—they're compassionate partners who understand the emotional weight of this life change.

The Stories Behind the Stuff

Over the years, we've been honored to be part of countless moving stories that have taught us what it truly means to move what people love.

I remember helping the Joshi family move from their family home of forty years. Mr. Joshi pointed to a simple wooden chair in the corner. "My father built this with his own hands," he told us, his voice thick with emotion. "It's not fancy, but it's everything." That chair wasn't furniture to us anymore—it was a legacy. We built a custom crate for it and placed it with honor in their new home.

Then there was young Ananya, moving to college for the first time. She was nervous about her delicate science projects and her collection of books. Our team took special care, packing each item as if it were destined for a museum, understanding that we were handling a young woman's dreams and ambitions.

These stories remind us daily that we're not in the business of moving things—we're in the business of moving lives.

Our Services: Love in Action

This philosophy of moving with love extends to every service we offer:

Why Moving with Love Matters

You might wonder—does it really make a difference if movers care about what they're moving? The answer is a resounding yes, and here's why:

It Changes the Energy There's a noticeable difference in the atmosphere when people work with care rather than just working for pay. The energy is calmer, more positive, and far less stressful for everyone involved.

It Protects What's Precious When team members understand the emotional value of what they're handling, they're naturally more careful. They'll take that extra second to secure a box properly, to double-check a fragile label, to ensure everything arrives exactly as it should.

It Honors Your Journey Moving represents a significant life transition. Handling this transition with care and respect honors the importance of this moment in your life story.

The Gati Difference: More Than Just Movers

What makes Gati different isn't our trucks or our equipment—it's our people and our philosophy. We've built a team of individuals who:

See their work as a calling, not just a job

Take genuine pride in making difficult transitions easier

Understand that how they work affects people's lives

Bring patience and kindness to every situation

We support our team with training that emphasizes emotional intelligence and customer care, not just physical techniques.

Your Role in a Move Filled with Care

When you choose Gati, your experience becomes completely different. Instead of being the stressed-out coordinator of chaos, you become:

The storyteller who shares what matters most

The director who shows us your vision

The client who can actually relax and trust the process

We handle the heavy lifting, the complex logistics, and the countless details. You get to focus on the excitement of your new beginning, supported by a team that genuinely cares about making your transition as beautiful as it should be.

Our Promise to You

When you invite Gati Packers into your life, we promise:

To treat your belongings with the reverence they deserve

To listen to your concerns and honor your requests

To bring compassion and understanding to every situation

To go beyond what's expected to ensure your happiness

To handle your move with the same love and care we'd want for our own families

We believe that moving should be more than just transportation—it should be a supported transition filled with care and positive energy.

Ready to experience what it feels like when movers truly care about what they're moving? Let us show you the Gati difference—where every item is handled with love, and every customer is treated like family.

Let’s be honest. Moving can feel… transactional. You call a company, they give you a price, a truck shows up, and your stuff gets taken from point A to point B. It can feel cold. Impersonal. Like you’re just another job in a long line of jobs.

But that’s not what a move is, is it? For you, it’s not a transaction. It’s a transformation. It’s one of life’s biggest chapters. It’s stress, excitement, nostalgia, and hope all rolled into one. You’re not just moving your possessions; you’re moving your life. Your memories. Your future.

And because it’s so much more than just moving boxes, it deserves to be treated with so much more than just a basic service. It deserves dedication. This is the heart of what a true moving partner believes in. It’s the promise that your relocation becomes our singular focus.

What Does "Dedication" Actually Look Like?

Dedication isn’t a fancy word we put on a brochure. It’s a quiet, determined promise that shows up in everything we do. It’s the opposite of that impersonal, transactional feeling.

It looks like the phone agent who spends an extra ten minutes on the call with you, not because they’re trying to upsell you, but because they heard the hesitation in your voice when you mentioned your antique wooden desk. They want to fully explain how we’ll protect it until you feel that worry melt away.

It looks like the moving crew showing up on a rainy day, laying down floor runners without being asked, because their dedication is to protecting your home first, before they even lift a single box.

It sounds like the team lead asking, “Which of these boxes will you need first at the new place? We’ll make sure it’s the last one on the truck so it’s the first one off for you.” That’s not in a manual; that’s dedication to making your first night easier.

It feels like the peace of mind knowing that the people handling your world-class wedding photo album are doing so with the same care they would use with their own most precious items.

This dedication is the thread that ties the entire experience together, transforming it from a service into a partnership.

Our Dedication Meets Your Every Need

A general dedication is nice, but life isn’t general. Your life is specific, complicated, and full of unique details. That’s why our dedication has to be just as versatile. We’ve built our services around the understanding that every relocation story is different.

For Your Home (Domestic): Our dedication is to creating a smooth, calm transition for your family. It’s about care, patience, and understanding that a home is filled with emotions, not just furniture.

For Your Business (Commercial): Our dedication is to your bottom line. We are dedicated to precision, timing, and minimizing downtime. We know your company’s success depends on a seamless move.

For Your Car & Bike: Our dedication is to the safety and security of your vehicle. We know it’s a major investment and a source of pride, and we treat it with the utmost respect.

For Your Pets: Our dedication is to their comfort and well-being. We know they’re family, and we are dedicated to making their journey as stress-free as possible, because we know their stress is your stress.

For Your Specialised Items (Cold Storage, Tempo): Our dedication is to providing the right tool for the job. Whether it’s maintaining a perfect temperature or having the right-sized vehicle, our dedication is to solving your specific problem, no matter how niche.

This wide range of services isn’t just a list; it’s proof of our dedication to being ready for whatever your life requires. You have one dedicated partner for every moving need, which means you never have to settle for a one-size-fits-all approach.

The Gift of Letting Go

When you truly feel that dedication from a team, something powerful happens. You are able to let go. You can hand over the keys—both literally and figuratively—and finally release the mental weight you’ve been carrying.

You can trust that the dedication you’ve seen in their words and actions will be reflected in their work. This allows you to do what you’re supposed to be doing during a move: focusing on your family, saying proper goodbyes, and starting to get excited about the new memories you’ll make.

Your job is to dream about the new chapter. Our job is to dedicate ourselves to getting you there smoothly, safely, and with a sense of calm. That’s the division of labour that makes for a perfect move.

A Partnership Built on Promise

“Your Relocation. Our Dedication.” is more than a tagline. It’s a summary of a partnership. You bring us your trust and your life’s belongings. We bring you our unwavering focus, our expertise, and a genuine commitment to treating your move as if it were our own.

You’ve dedicated your time and energy to building your life. You deserve a moving company that dedicates itself to protecting it.

If you’re ready for a moving experience built on this kind of promise—a dedicated approach for your home, office, car, pet, and every unique need in between—then your search is over.

Let’s talk about that feeling. You’ve just bought a beautiful new couch. It’s the perfect color, the perfect style, and it’s going to look amazing in your new living room. You’ve probably already imagined countless cozy evenings spent on it. Then, the thought hits you: moving day. The narrow doorways. The tight stairwells. The possibility of a nasty scrape, a torn fabric, or a broken leg. That sinking feeling in your stomach is the fear of seeing something new and beautiful get damaged before it even gets a chance to become part of your home.

It’s not just about the couch, of course. It’s about that brand new flat-screen TV. It’s about the gorgeous glass dining table. It’s about the antique wardrobe that’s been in your family for generations. It’s the principle of the thing. When you invest in something—whether it’s with money or with sentimental value—it deserves to be protected.

This idea is at the very core of how we work. We believe that a new couch shouldn’t get a scratch. A cherished heirloom shouldn’t get a dent. Your peace of mind shouldn’t get bruised. Here’s how we make sure that doesn’t happen.

It Starts With the Right Mindset: Respect. Before we even pick up a single blanket, we train our teams to see what you see. We don’t see a “couch” as an object to be moved from A to B. We see it as a centerpiece of your living room, a place where your family will gather. That shift in perspective changes everything. It means we’ll take the extra five minutes to measure the doorway and plan the exact angle of the tilt. It means we’ll gently take the legs off instead of forcing it through. This inherent respect for your belongings is the first and most important layer of protection.

The Magic is in the Materials. You can have the most careful team in the world, but if they’re using thin, ripped blankets and flimsy tape, scratches will happen. We invest in our equipment because your stuff is worth it.

Moving Blankets: Ours are thick, padded, and soft—almost like quilts. They don’t just drape over your furniture; they cocoon it.

Stretch Wrap: This clear plastic film is a superhero. It keeps cabinet doors from swinging open, it protects wood from nicks, and it holds protective blankets securely in place.

Corner Protectors: For every wooden table, every headboard, every frame, we use foam corner guards. They absorb any accidental bump against a wall, leaving the corner perfectly pristine.

Furniture Dollies: We use them religiously. Gliding your heavy furniture on a dolly instead of dragging it across the floor prevents scuff marks on both your furniture and your floors.

The Skill of the Move. There’s an art to moving large items. It’s not about brute strength; it’s about technique, communication, and spatial awareness. Our teams are like a well-practiced dance crew. They communicate with short commands: “Pivot left.” “Tip up on three.” “Clear on my side.” This coordinated effort ensures every move is smooth and controlled, eliminating the jarring bumps and scrapes that cause damage.

A Promise That Covers Everything. This promise—that a new couch shouldn’t get a scratch—extends to every single thing we move. It’s the same careful approach we use for:

Car Shifting: Ensuring your car arrives without a single new scratch or ding.

Pet Relocation: Making sure your pet’s journey is smooth and stress-free, so their comfort isn’t “scratched.”

Office Moving: Transporting expensive computers and printers so your business operations aren’t interrupted by damaged equipment.

Specialized Moves: Handling cold storage units or tempo loads with precise care to prevent any loss or damage.

Because the principle is always the same: what you value, we protect.

At the end of the day, when we deliver that new couch to your new home and unwrap it, we want to see your face light up with excitement, not fall with disappointment. We want you to see it exactly as you remember it: perfect, untouched, and ready for you to make your first memory on it.

That’s our goal. Not just to move your things, but to deliver them—and your peace of mind—in flawless condition.

If you were to ask ten people what a moving company does, you’d probably get ten versions of the same answer: “They move stuff from one place to another.” And on the surface, they’d be right. That is the mechanical part of our job. We lift, we pack, we load, we drive, we unload.

But if you were to ask us what we really do, we’d give you a completely different answer. We’d tell you that we’re not in the box-moving business. We’re in the smiles-delivered business.

It might sound a little cheesy, but stay with us. Think about the last time you moved. What do you remember most? The weight of the boxes? Probably not. You likely remember the feeling. The stress, the anxiety, the sheer exhaustion. Or, if you were lucky, you remember the feeling of relief when it was finally, blessedly over.

That moment of relief—when the last box is placed inside, the truck doors are shut, and you realize everything is okay—that’s when the smile appears. It might be a small, tired smile, but it’s a genuine one. It’s the smile of a hurdle cleared. And that smile is our most important delivery.

So, how do we manufacture and deliver a smile? It doesn’t come off an assembly line. It’s handcrafted through a series of small, careful actions that add up to one big feeling of relief.

It starts by lifting the weight off your shoulders, both literally and figuratively. Seeing a team of friendly, professional people walk through your door on moving morning is the first step. They bring an energy of “we’ve got this,” and suddenly, the mountain of tasks in front of you feels scalable. They handle the heavy furniture, the awkward-shaped mirrors, the disassembly and reassembly of beds. With every item they expertly manage, a little bit of your stress evaporates. That’s the foundation of a smile.

Then, we build trust through action. A smile can’t exist where there is worry. So we work to eliminate the things you worry about most. We don’t just toss your china into a box with some paper; we cradle it, we cushion it, we secure it like the treasure it is. We don’t just shove your sofa through a doorway; we measure, we pivot, we protect the walls. We treat your car, your pet, your office server with the same focused respect. When you see that level of care, your worry turns into trust. And trust is a key ingredient for a smile.

Finally, we give you the gift of time and headspace. A move consumes your mental energy. By taking the entire logistical nightmare off your hands, we give you a priceless gift: the ability to focus on what actually matters. You can be present with your family, you can take a moment to imagine your new life in the new space, you can handle the other important details of your transition. You’re not buried in cardboard and tape; you’re free to be excited. And excitement is the cousin of a smile.

This philosophy applies to every single service we offer because every type of move has its own unique smile at the end.

For a family, the smile is the moment the last toy box is brought into the kids’ new room, and they start happily exploring. It’s the feeling of being “home” even though the boxes aren’t yet unpacked.

For a pet owner, the smile comes from seeing their cat find a sunny spot to nap or their dog happily sniff around the new garden, completely unstressed by the journey itself.

For a business owner, the smile is the sound of the office humming back to life on Monday morning, with zero downtime and no technical hiccups. It’s the smile of preserved profit and momentum.

For anyone with specialized needs, like moving a tempo of shop inventory or a cold storage unit, the smile is the quiet confidence that comes from knowing it was handled by experts with the right equipment. It’s the smile of a problem you didn’t have to solve yourself.

The truck, the boxes, the packing materials—those are just our tools. Our real product is that final feeling our customers get. It’s the sigh of relief. It’s the look of pleasant surprise. It’s the smile that spreads across their face when they realize, “Wow, that was actually… easy.”

That’s the delivery we’re most proud of. So yes, we move your possessions with extreme care. But we move them with care because we’re aiming for a much more valuable destination: your peace of mind.

And we’ve found that peace of mind almost always ends with a smile.
