🗓 Grassroots4GVP Event: October Statewide Meeting
Please join us at our September statewide meeting as we welcome Rev. Liz Walker to highlight the work of Roxbury Presbyterian Church's Social Impact Center, a Grassroots4GVP community-based Strategic Partner. The Social Impact Center's "Can We Talk..." program is the focus of Rev. Walker's new book, "No One Left Alone". "Can We Talk..." is a spiritually inspired and clinically supported healing program which creates a safe space for communities deeply affected by the traumatic effects of gun violence.
We are honored to have Rev. Walker join us to discuss the genesis of the "Can We Talk..." program and how its safe space provides trauma-healing which in turn creates a safer community. This is an often unrecognized but essential part of gun violence prevention. "Can We Talk..." was a response to gun violence that directly and deeply affected families in Rev. Walker's church.
Although not required, we encourage you to read "No One Left Alone" prior to this important discussion. You may be able to obtain a copy from your library network, otherwise you can order the book through your local independent bookseller or purchase it on Amazon here.
When? Monday, October 6 7:30 - 8:30 PM
