All Our Kin - Career Resources, Inc. 'Thor Tour' - United Way of Connecticut 988 Anniv.

Jul 21, 12:15 PM

We're thrilled to bring back the co-founder of All Our Kin, a national nonprofit organization  training, supporting, and sustaining family child care educators. There's lots to chat about as All Our Kin turns 25 years old, celebrates its latest career training class graduates, and prepares for their upcoming first-ever gala.

Then, we'll take a call from the Iowa / Wisconsin border and speak with a cross country cyclist and board member for Career Resources, Inc. who is pedaling from Norwalk to Oregon to raise over $100,000 to support the job training, workforce development, and second-chance career opportunities for thousands of qualified individuals in the region.

And we'll check in with United Way of Connecticut, which is celebrating 988 - the National Suicide Prevention hotline. We'll learn why callers to 988 in Connecticut connect to caring, well-trained intervention and support specialists, as well as a wealth of resources that can help address the very issues causing callers' anxiety and hopelessness.
