There are as many reasons that people
turn to violence as there are solutions that we can consider in our quest to
heal them and our world. Although some
of us feel the answers are simple, I believe we need to look at as many
solutions as we can and bring to the table all the best we have to offer to
support people physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
Along with the
issues of what gun control measures we may want to legislate and what mental
health programs we may want to fund, I suggest many other support networks need
to come together to make fragile people whole again.
One small but
not insignificant program that a friend told me about (thank you, Debra) is
called APPRENTICESHIP CAREER PATHS. I have to wonder if a program for students
that may feel that college is not for them and, perhaps, have felt as
though they are like square pegs in a round hole in middle and high school, may
find a home in a program such as this.
Imagine the difference it could make in the emotional welfare of the
student not to mention helping out the companies that need qualified
workers. Win/win.
This Ted Talk
is about 15 min long. I encourage you to
learn about the program and forward it to anyone that you think may find it
helpful.
I further
encourage you to open your mind and your heart to the vast possibilities of
options we have to help those who are in our circle that may need a helping
hand. I look forward to hearing your
ideas as together we all imagine many ways to reach out to support and heal our
brothers and sisters.
Thanks for
reading.
