Exploring Roles in the ECE Community : Local and State Levels

The “Healing Communities of Georgia “is a community of practice and it is centered on forgiveness, mercy, and restoration of families who are victims of crime, and the incarcerated being restored. This organization’s mission supports:’ The healing occurs within individuals through mercy, forgiveness and facilitating the restoration of right relationships”. This organization appeals to me because of their mission to right wrongs, and facilitate forgiveness so families can move on with their lives. And for those who were incarcerated they understand their needs to be forgiven, receive mercy, so their hearts are healed.
This community of practice supports state education in that every student succeeds because their needs are met. This is an important issue because of their support of education and making sure each child has what is needed to improve their chances for success.
Center for Disease Control and Prevention is a community of practice that is a concern is to:”… strengthen public health as members learn, share expertise, and work together on solving common problems in their communities’ focus areas”. CDC  a community of practice sounded excellent and appealed to my sense of community and healthy interactions. If we learn something such as turkey meat at Kroger grocery store is purported to have salmonella we could share that information. The salmonella incidents are becoming a common occurrence, and there are those who normally do not listen to the news, but maybe in with social media.

  1. Hi Trahlyta, the "Healing Communities of Georgia", sounds like a great community of practice. I like there mission and goals. There are so many families in need of support and some are to ashamed to asked. This organization seems to be very supportive in ways that helps families feel comfortable with receiving the help that they need. I like that they have empathy because there are many that lack empathy and compassion and aren't willing to help others that are down and out. I will be looking further into this organization when I relocate to Georgia. Thank you for sharing!
