A key to closing gaps in our communities is to build resilience and healing into our daily lives. That’s the key to the Catalyst Initiative and @mplsfoundation is so proud to be building on this effort launched by the George Family Foundation. yesmagazine.org/people-power…

“We all have an innate capacity to heal,” Catalyst director Suzanne Koepplinger says. “But to tap into that, first we must recognize that trauma lives in our mind, body and spirit. Therefore, the healing must take place in our mind, body and spirit." yesmagazine.org/people-power…
Great story about a young leader who is doing great work to promote healing and well-being in our community: startribune.com/twin-cities-…

One of the many reasons @mplsfoundation is so proud to be a partner with @CatalystTMF is it is about building community heath through building community power. Here youth are getting the tools to take charge of their well being and we are all better for it
Powerful performances at @CatalystTMF’s Youth Cultural Healing Summit. We hope today's event opens new paths to healing trauma, building resilience, and promoting everyday well-being for everyone here.
