Being an advocate is about speaking up on behalf of your child — asking questions, raising concerns, asking for help. It’s also about teaching your child to speak up. But it’s not always easy to do.Some parents find it difficult or uncomfortable to talk with educators. They might not feel it’s their place. They may have had bad experiences in the past. And some parents just aren’t sure what to say — or when.But when things aren’t going well at school, you are a voice for your child, and not just at parent-teacher conferences. You know your child’s strengths, challenges, and interests. Advocating helps make sure your child has the support to thrive

What it feels like: Finding out your cancer has returned can bring back some of the same emotions you felt after your initial diagnosis.
Cancer can have a huge impact on your spirit. The stress it causes can affect the 3 pillars of our spirituality: relationships, values, and life purpose. Having cancer can lead you to think about spiritual questions that don't have easy answers. You may wonder, "Why did I get cancer?" "What does my life really mean?" or "What happens after death?"

Love Keeps Me Centered
Chaplin, Pastor and Mother Rosalina Matos elaborates with Casaundra Baker on how God honors faith no matter the vessel it comes from
The world isn’t irreparably broken. It isn’t beyond hope or repair. It’s simply made up of people trying to survive, trying to make it through one more day, despite their hardships and their trauma. Love isn’t just something you feel deep inside, that sends tingles up and down your spine or butterflies in your stomach. Love is greater than a feeling. Love is an action.

Observed each July and originally designated as National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, BIPOC Mental Health Month highlights the unique mental health challenges and needs of historically disenfranchised or oppressed racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Black and Indigenous people and other people of color (BIPOC) experience a broad spectrum of ongoing discrimination, oppression, and inequity rooted in America’s colonialist history, all of which foster both collective and individual trauma in those communities.
No matter where you are in life or how spiritual you are, finding a sense of inner peace is a constant yearning you may face. Learning to become at peace with yourself is one of the most basic human desires, and is often a skill that requires a lot of practice.

Schools across the country say they’re seeing an uptick in disruptive behaviors. Some are obvious and visible, like students trashing bathrooms, fighting over social media posts, or running out of classrooms. Others are quieter calls for help, like students putting their head down and refusing to talk. The behavior issues are a reflection of the stress the pandemic placed on children, experts say, upending their education, schedules, and social lives. For students dealing with grief, mental health issues, or the layered effects of poverty and racism, big transitions can be even more challenging. Teaching your students the value of using words to solve conflict is a lesson they will use their entire lives. You can work together as a class to develop a phrase to help start the resolution process. For example, “Let’s find a way to work together.” Learning to discuss desired outcomes and their feelings keeps them from assigning blame and focusing on the cause of the conflict.

WHY, HOW AND WHEN I started a podcast. As a kid one of my greatest dreams was being on the radio. So why not start a podcast.Podcasting is one of the best methods to talk about something you enjoy or are passionate about. You are able to talk freely and engage with your audience on a personal level. Not only is this an effective way to teach your audience or share your understanding, but it also makes the experience more enjoyable for you.

The Black Family in The Black Community: Southside Chicago
The black family has been a topic of study in many disciplines—history, literature, the visual arts and film studies, sociology, anthropology, and social policy. Its representation, identity, and diversity have been reverenced, stereotyped, and vilified from the days of slavery to our own time. The black family knows no single location, since family reunions and genetic-ancestry searches testify to the spread of family members across states, nations, and continents. Not only are individual black families diasporic, but Africa and the diaspora itself have been long portrayed as the black family at large. While the role of the black family has been described by some as a microcosm of the entire race, its complexity as the “foundation” of African American life and history can be seen in numerous debates over how to represent its meaning and typicality from a historical perspective—as slave or free, as patriarchal or matriarchal/matrifocal, as single-headed or dual-headed household, as extended or nuclear, as fictive kin or blood lineage, as legal or common law, and as black or interracial, etc. Variation appears, as well, in discussions on the nature and impact of parenting, childhood, marriage, gender norms, sexuality, and incarceration. The family offers a rich tapestry of images for exploring the African American past and present https://asalh.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/2021Theme.pdf
Black History Month, which is celebrated each year during February, is a chance for Americans to learn details of their nation’s history that, unfortunately, are far too often neglected and pushed to the wayside. As the saying goes, black history is American history — and it’s a varied and rich history. A wise nation honors and learns from its past. It refuses to let the most important facts about our shared and collective memory disappear into the depths of forgotten history. What happened in the past shapes and informs where we are heading in the future, and it’s of paramount importance to set aside a month for learning as much as we can about Black history.
Sometimes an individual may use race to explain or justify their own actions or inactions, for example not being able to achieve or belong or because of their race they should not try for a job. Some see it as a qualifier of privilege (racial preference). Still others may see race as a collective issue of relevance and validation (dealing with injustice based on race). And others are more focused on race as important to access rights and privilege (privileged majority). Should race matter? Can we ever get beyond race? What do you think? JUST BECAUSE RACIAL DIVERSITY EXISTS IN A GIVEN CIRCUMSTANCE DOESN’T MEAN THE SITUATION IS FREE OF RACIAL INEQUITIES.

When it comes to cancer, we understand that finding the right words can be a challenge. Whether you or a loved one is going through a cancer journey, learning how to give and ask for support can take time. Having a comforting quote or two on hand can be a great relief when you are in need of some calming words to cherish or share.

Life is most certainly a puzzle, usually one that will give you a hard time until you figure it out.
If you are a simple person with a clear goal and idea of what you want to achieve in your life, as well as a set of rules that will help you get there, then your puzzle will be much easier to complete.
You’ll probably make some mistakes along the way, but the determination will keep you persistent and help you win that challenge.
For those who are struggling with certain things in life, things won’t be easy.
There will be pieces that do not fit where you initially put them, and at one moment it will become much more difficult to continue with your puzzle. You are not facing a dead end.
One where you’ll have to make a decision whether to give up or start all over again?
It’s at that moment when you need to rethink what you are doing, break apart the puzzle, and start all over again. Choosing the other alternative will get you nowhere.
And although it might sound difficult to start from point zero, the good thing now is that you have the experience, and know what to avoid, which pieces fit or don’t fit the puzzle, etc.
In other words, starting all over and “failing” made you better at this, and now you have the chance to make it right. If not, start again, and again, and again…
You understand where I am going with this, and by now you’ve grasped the idea of life represented as a unique puzzle that is waiting to be solved.
And if sometimes life doesn’t go smoothly, then the most logical answer would be that your puzzle is not arranged properly, and you might have to make some changes. It can either be several pieces or the entire puzzle.
However, don’t be afraid of the change that is about to come, because it’s the best way to experience life fully and evolve.

COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. Millions of people in the United States have received COVID-19 vaccines under the most intense safety monitoring in U.S. history. CDC recommends you get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible. If you are fully vaccinated, you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic. Learn more about what you can do when you have been fully vaccinated.
Over 346 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been given in the United States from December 14, 2020, through August 2, 2021. COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective. COVID-19 vaccines were evaluated in tens of thousands of participants in clinical trials.

Black and Indigenous people and other people of color (BIPOC) experience a broad spectrum of ongoing discrimination, oppression, and inequity rooted in America’s colonialist history, all of which foster both collective and individual trauma in those communities. Counselors, therapists and other mental health professionals are essential to promoting the mental health and well-being of people in BIPOC communities and addressing the systemic discrepancies in quality of and access to care for these individuals. By providing counselors with the support, education, and professional resources needed to serve BIPOC clients, we can work together to create deep multicultural competence and provide effective care for the mental health of every individual.

What is National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month National minority mental health awareness month is a campaign held annually under the sponsorship of CDC and HHS in commemorating federal intentions of eliminating health discrepancies that were marshaled by the findings from the Heckler Report. The campaign takes place every July when the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) launches outreach programs to disseminate health information and education material designed for minority sectors of the population, including Hispanics, Blacks, Asian/Pacific Islanders, as well as Native Americans. Purpose of National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month The purpose of the national minority mental health awareness month is to ensure that useful information and technical assistance are available for patient education in response to minority population requirements, particularly those in special care services like school, medical, community-based and worksite locations. The campaign also aims at creating awareness among afflicted persons and surfaces them with details about where they can find help. In addition, the Department continues with research and implements innovative models for financing health services depending on current departmental agreements. It’s also an opportunity for initiating discussions with minority and non-minority health experts, organizations, State government, academic institutions and other entities from private and public sectors in coming up with means and ways of improving availability and accessibility of health professionals to minority populations.

What is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month? BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous People and People of Color – formerly referred to as minority. Each July behavioral health organizations bring awareness to the unique mental health conditions that these groups of people face. Mental Health Statistics Most racial groups have similar, or in some cases fewer mental health conditions than whites but the affects in BIPOC groups last longer. For instance, over 24% of blacks and almost 20% of Hispanics are diagnosed with depression, as opposed to almost 35% of white people. Additionally, American Indians/Alaskan Natives report higher rates of post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol dependence than any other group. Mental health conditions are more common with people in the criminal justice system, which has many more people of color than whites. Between 50% to 75% of youth in the juvenile justice system have a mental health condition. Racial and/or ethnic youth with behavioral health conditions are referred more often to the juvenile justice system than to specialty primary care, compared to white youth. To add onto these statistics, this same group is also more likely to end up in the juvenile justice system due to harsher disciplinary practices like suspension in schools.. Disparities in Mental Health for BIPOC This group of people in our community is less likely to receive mental health care. In a recent study it showed that among adults with mental health conditions, 48% of white received services. In contract only 31% of blacks and Hispanics and 22% of Asians received them. There are a lot of factors that affect the access to treatment including: Not having insurance Stigma associated with mental health conditions Lack of diversity among providers Language barriers Distrust in the health care system Low cultural competence among providers Sources: https://mhanational.org/ https://psychnews.psychiatryonline.or...

Bishop James E. Johnson, after fervent prayer Pastor Johnson, his wife, Alice and several others devoted Christians answered the call, and New Church of the Living God was established. The first service was held in the George Smith Library meeting room on September 14, 2003 with 16 members joining in with this new ministry after the first service. The Characteristics that best describe Bishop Johnson as a pastor are the infectious love for God's people, a heart to serve the Lord, life-changing preaching, a man of faith and action and a teacher of the people. He is a servant leader that leads by example. Bishop James E. Johnson continues to pursue the mandate that God gave him stating " Take care of the people and God will take care of the Church". He is a graduated of Friends University. Bishop James E. Johnson has been happily married for 29 years to his wife, Sister Alice Curry-Johnson.
God's love is amazing, and very different from human love. God's love is unconditional. You are loved because God is Love. His love is not based on feelings or emotions. He doesn't love us because we're lovable. He loves us because we belong to Him. He created us to have a loving relationship with Him, and He sacrificed His own Son (who also willingly died for us) to restore that relationship.

You don't have to be powerful, famous, or extraordinary. We all have stories to tell. A story begging to be told of our successes and our failures while trying to express something deeper. All of our lives are important, for our lives are truly meaningful, thoughts on who we are and what we are about. All of our stories no matter who we are can truly make a difference in someone else's life. We all have dilemmas, a story to tell or something to vent about. We are the sum of the stories we tell ourselves, and those stories are necessarily while we exhale our memories. Our lives are stories that we constantly invite others to help us create, share and live, for our stories convey the meaning of our lives, experiences that shape truths we come to believe. We all walk many different paths in life and we each have a story to tell.
