I've served on the board of Georgians for a Healthy Future for several years now. Too often, Georgia has policies in place that don't allow people to thrive, particularly if you are not wealthy.

We are counting on 𝟖𝟎 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 to make a gift in support of our Housing is Health initiative. Your gifts will kickstart the next phase of our work, which will include: ⭕ Build support among state leaders to fully fund the Georgia Housing Voucher Program! This program ensures that Georgians with mental illness have stable, affordable housing that helps keep them healthy and out of crisis. ⭕ Set up a working group that brings together people with disabilities, caregivers, housing experts, advocates, and Georgia’s state agencies overseeing health and housing to examine and promote ways to improve and expand housing for people with disabilities. ⭕ Bring together housing and health advocates to identify opportunities for collaborations that will improve health and housing at the same time! We’re more powerful together. https://lnkd.in/e7rnN9PY

In recent weeks, I have loved reengaging with friends who are doing impactful work with youth within the education to workforce non-profit space! So many things I could say here…. But today reposting this one. I love what CAPS Network and their affiliates are doing to bring direct impact to youth and transforming the way educators and industry together can embrace learners! Why it matters? Think about this common question we hear asked of high schoolers: “What are you going to do after high school?” Its the wrong question! The real questions could/should be: —Tell me about the careers you have been exposed to so far? —Others your thinking about? —What interests you? Why? —What came easy to you? Why? —What excited you most? Why? —What project was most fun to you? Why? —What do you know you do don’t want to do? What was hard about it? Why is it not for you? I am sure you get the point I am trying to make! Learners not having answers to these questions before going down a particular pathway is problematic—often leading to poor outcomes in the entire ecosystem. The earlier we can empower learners, help them experience options, be self-aware/self-driven the better they can navigate and design the vision for the future they want for themselves! Why not learn and discern before graduation? Check them out!
