Local Schools & Local Churches

Local Schools & Local Churches

This month, our COSILoveYou Podcast builds from last month’s episode by taking a look at what two local churches are doing to impact and support nearby schools. Rocky Mountain Calvary and Colorado Christian Fellowship - two very different churches in different parts of Colorado Springs - each have unique approaches to their support of a neighborhood public school, and different stories to tell. Join us as we talk about what works, what doesn’t, and why it matters. https://cosiloveyou.com

Why Investing in Schools Matters

This episode of the COSILoveYou podcast features Tracey Beal, Founder & CEO of SchoolConnect, a Phoenix, Arizona-based nonprofit that has created innovative partnerships that support hundreds of local schools across the state of Arizona. Starting with just a handful of schools and partners, SchoolConnect is changing the outcomes for education in Phoenix and beyond, and COSILoveYou has begun a formal partnership with SchoolConnect to bring that same model to Colorado Springs. Find out more about why partnership with local schools might be the best way for churches, businesses, and other organizations to affect their community’s future.

Mental Health In The Church

This is the final episode of our 4-part series on the state of mental health in our community. This month, we focus on mental health in the church and look at the ways pastors might be facing their own challenges, as well as what, where, and how churches can be engaging in this conversation more fully. Join our guests Dr. Eric Sandras and Wade Brown, as we get both a broad and narrow perspective on this challenging issue in our local churches.

Mental Health In The Workplace

In this episode, we speak with three local leaders who represent various sectors of the marketplace, all of whom have a passion for seeing mental health support increase for both employees and owners.  Join the conversation with Betsy Brown, Deb Mahan, and Daniel Campana as we explore the intricacies of dealing with mental health in the workplace, and the roles that the local church can play in being a supportive option for people who are struggling in their vocations.

Mental Health In The Home

In this episode, we continue our focus on mental health, turning our attention to how it shows up in homes and families. We sit down with two practitioners who come at their work from different backgrounds and tragedies, but who have allowed their own stories of pain to direct them to intentional, creative approaches to supporting people struggling with mental illness. We also discuss how the home environment contributes to or undermines mental health.
