FAST TRAC staff recently attended Georgetown University’s Training Institutes. At the Institutes, we learned about a program that works within the faith-based community, called Open Table. The Open Table model provides faith communities with a proven process to transform individuals and families in poverty. The mission is to train congregations and their members, through the Open Table model, to partner their vocational and life experiences with people in poverty to develop and implement plans that create sustainability and wholeness.

Additionally, Georgetown University’s Center for Children’s Mental Health released some new guidelines for working with youth and families around LGBT issues and created a resource list.
