REMINDER ‼️‼️
•

Would you agree that becoming more sensitive to cultures including your own is an important skill everyone should learn?! Let us know WHY in the comments:

Cultural sensitivity doesn’t mean that you must be an expert in each culture’s values.
•
It simply means that you’re willing to ask honest questions, seek understanding, and demonstrate empathy rather than judging those around you.
•
Would you consider yourself to be culturally sensitive or do you still find you have some areas of improvement! Let us know in the comments!

We are ALL in this together! 🤞🏼🤞🏿🤞
•
Wash your hands, wear your mask and keep your distance when possible!

So much of who we are is below the surface- we are ALL worth a deeper dive!
Would you agree?

What does Declaring Racism a Public Health Crisis Accomplish?

Under guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, cities who declare a crisis are required to act to eliminate disparities in public health. Supporters of resolutions declaring racism a public health crisis argue that the resolutions set the tone for local leadership. Acknowledging racism as the underlying cause of health disparities puts a name to the problem and creates an avenue to hold leadership accountable.
•

What about the State of Ohio?

Both the Ohio House and Senate are currently considering non-binding resolutions to declare racism a public health crisis. The Senate Health Committee has held two hearings so far, and the House State and Local Government Committee has yet to start hearings. Wisconsin is so far the only state to have declared racism as a public health crisis.

Creating Lasting Family Connections® (CLFC) is implemented through a community system, such as churches, schools, recreation centers, and court-referred settings. 

This is 5 days, in-person training to be held in Mansfield, Ohio at the Mansfield UMADAOP Prevention building. The six modules of the CLFC curriculum will focus on things like improving communication and conflict resolution skills and building coping mechanisms to resist negative social influences.
