Breaking the Cycle of Generational Poverty in Atlanta
St. Luke's Episcopal Church in partnership with the Atlanta Women's Foundation presented Breaking The Generational Cycle of Poverty for Women and Girls in Atlanta, a special event for members of the faith community working with women in poverty, on May 7.
The foundation has recently completed a research study that highlights the foundational issues that impact women and girls experiencing generational poverty in metro Atlanta. The foundation undertook this project to learn more about how women and girls experience poverty in our five-county service area. The results of this research have deepened AWF’s understanding of the issues impacting women and girls in our community. That information will be used to direct future activities and to help nonprofit partners and the community work more effectively.

Especially for youth ministers and leaders: The Regional Council of Churches is partnering with the Georgia Dept. of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities in SHARE HOPE. Suicide is a leading cause of death in young people. What is the role of the faith community in ministering to troubled young people? Share Hope is an interfaith social media contest to promote the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Because we know that just pausing before acting often stops a suicide attempt, 988 is one important tool in fostering a healthy community. Have a look www.988ga.org/faith. This activity could be a great way to start off the school year with your creative youth group. And, your group could win a $250 Pizza Party--there will be ten winners.
