Healing our Nation, Cobb United for Change
Cobb United for Change has invited the national organization, Healing Our Nation, to present an introduction to their “Healing our Nation Workshop: Understanding the Impact of Prejudice & Race.” They have been facilitating these workshops around the country for organizations, corporations, and municipalities for over 20 years. These workshops are respectful of everyone’s background and culture to build bridges of understanding and bring communities together. More information in a MacNeil Lehrer clip Here The introductory sessions will be repeated during the week of Oct 14. Participants will include Cobb public officials, law enforcement personnel, community leaders, and community members.

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.
