For our Circle Training Part 2, we continued our discussion about Restorative Justice and what it looks like to us. Understanding and finding ways to tend to conflict and our relationships. This is important because it is a way to find an understanding on both sides, a way both can heal. We engaged in an activity with sticky notes by writing down times we have felt hurt, but also considering times when we ourselves caused hurt.
Our team came together for a refreshing and productive staff retreat, building connection and collaboration. Through brainstorming and thoughtful discussions, we strengthened our vision and goals for what we aim to do for both The Firehouse Dream and Maywood. We are excited for what comes next and what it could look like for The Firehouse Dream!
In this continuation of our mural project, we witness the artwork truly come together - gaining a deeper understanding of what is being presented visually. This mural painting serves as a reminder, upon completion and presentation, that there is a community comprising individuals from diverse ethnicities and races. See the full completed mural June 5, 6PM-8PM!
Another Mental Health Kit Giveaway in the books. We visited PMSA where we filmed testimonials and gave away more kits. May is Mental Health Awareness Month and it’s important for us to mention PMSA was our first kit giveaway in December of 2022. In this giveaway, we handed out 190 kits to the students of PMSA, our running total at 3,112 Thanks so much to PMSA for having us again.
