This month we will hear from:
Best Practice/Emerging Model: Robin Saenger – Director and Founder of Peace4Tarpon. Robin was the Mayor of Tarpon Springs, FL when they decided to build a trauma informed community. They have lead the way in this effort, and we are thrilled to have them share their story.
New Resource: Dr. Anne Mathwes-Younes, Acting Deputy Director of the Centers for Mental Health Services as SAMHSA and the co-chair of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention will share an overview of the “Faith, Hope, Life” Program. Please see the attached PowerPoint presentation.
“Faith.Hope.Life. is an opportunity for every faith community in the United States, regardless of creed, to focus one Sabbath each year on the characteristics common to most faiths that also help prevent suicides. These characteristics are at the very core of what most faith communities are and do, in that they:
- Promote hope
- Build healthy social connections
- Provide answers to life's challenging questions
- Recognize and celebrate the myriad reasons for living and the God-given value of each member in the community, no matter how young or old, weak or strong, healthy or infirmed, and
- Support those who face mental health challengers and/or problems with misuse of alcohol and other drugs, as they seek effective treatment. Support their families and loves ones, as well.
- Faith.Hope.Life. is an initiative of the Faith Communities Task Force of the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention. All the information and resources necessary to launch Faith.Hope.Life. in your faith community are available on this website.
HHS Update: Elliot Kennedy, Special Advisor to the Secretary on LGBT issues will discuss how faith and community leaders can help build safe and supportive environments for the LGBT community during this time of mourning and crisis and explore ways we can improve our partnership in this regard.
