As you know, we live in a time where communities are often in tension with each other. This tension can manifest in a polarization of behaviors, attitudes, emotions, and beliefs that often leaves us in a place of despair.
The Wellness Enterprise invites you to a workshop that provides a Christ-centered approach to a more hopeful path of communication and relationship that addresses the isolating polarization. All employees are invited to “Being the Bridge Between Despair and Hope: Navigating Polarizing Times” in Roberts 170 on Tuesday, Nov. 14, from 4 to 6 p.m.
The workshop will be presented by Executive Dean David Cimbora and Dr. Norlan Hernandez, who serves as Vanguard University’s director for the Jesse Miranda Center for Hispanic Leadership and as founder and president of Faithful Teachings, Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to partnering with local faith-based communities on holistic initiatives for the transformation of society in Latin America.
If you have any questions, you may direct them to David Cimbora at dcimbora@georgefox.edu.

Having a loved one with addiction can be heartbreaking, frustrating and terrifying. Choosing how to support them can be confusing. The right choice is not always obvious.
In a Canopy webinar, “Supporting a Loved One with Substance Misuse,” we discuss recognizing signs of addiction and review choices of how to support your loved one. We will also review concepts such as enabling and codependency.
You will walk away from this webinar with a clearer idea of how to support both yourself and your loved one. The session is available on-demand here this month.
