HB 219 re: Child Victims of Sexual Exploitation will allow the modification, sealing, and/or vacation of orders of delinquency for children who have been victims of sexual abuse and trafficking. HB 219 will provide a measure of mercy for children who have been victims of sexual abuse and trafficking by allowing them to move on with their healing process and recovery and will acknowledge that most children adjudicated delinquent for sexual abuse and trafficking are victims, not offenders.

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.
