  • Faith Talks: Mental Health Awareness Month
    May 17 2024
    May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and Faith Talks will facilitate a discussion highlighting the intersection of mental health and disability rights.

    We are keen to focus on the ways racism impacts one’s mental health journey, and further endangers persons who are differently abled. We’ll examine what’s happening in schools with regards to students with disabilities and the loss of innocence of young people of color. Our guests include Dara Baldwin, who will discuss her forthcoming book To Be a Problem: A Black Woman's Survival in the Racist Disability Rights Movement and Kristin Henning, author of The Rage of Innocence: How America Criminalizes Black Youth and Director of the Georgetown Juvenile Justice Clinic.

    We are excited to invite you to treasure God's creation on Earth Day and every single day, whether we are attending large meetings or tending to small daily habits.

    • Practical tips for reducing plastic usage in our daily lives;
    • Initiatives within the United Methodist family and faith-based communities to promote sustainable practices;
