News & Notes

Gratitude is about more than taking a second to say “Thanks.” Gratitude shows true appreciation. This November, we have some ideas for how you can give gratitude.

Since so many people in the field know us as Impact, from our long-standing community coalitions, we are now doing business as Impact Communities! After all, the organization is a collection of coalitions, prevention educators, and health and wellness staff that make an impact!

During the COPE 2 ½ hour immersive experience, I slipped into the lives of fictional families, representing a cross-section of our communities, that face poverty every single day.  Until COPE, I’ve never known the fear of not knowing how I was going to take care of my family. 

I thought the experiential nature of this training would help me more deeply understand the complexities of poverty, paving the way for us to address the issues of poverty more comprehensively. What I wasn’t counting on was all the emotions I experienced during this simulation.
