Conversation Questions and Thoughts for reflection for guidance only. The conversation takes on its own energy.The first two are asked of all guests.What does wellness mean to you?What do you do to support wellness in your life, especially given your training and expertise. (Probably have each of you give one word that captures the response to each question)As individuals and as a community we are all still recovering from Hurricanes Irma and Maria, what have you  learned about yourself that is helpful as you move forward in the recovery process and the start of hurricane season?Dr. Hall had the pleasure of attending the graduation for My Brothers Workshop on Saturday. It was a joyful celebration. For those who are not familiar with MBW please give us a brief history of its origins.What is the current purpose and components of the program? How are participants selected?What are the "profile" commonalities of program participants?Please talk about how a program like MBW can impact and decrease the potential for youth violence and adult dysfunction?Is there a role for families in the program or are families challenges often part of the factors that  cause an individual to be in the program?What is a typical day like in the life of a participant?I witnessed a joyous graduation ceremony on Saturday. Individuals received a diploma , not a GED certificate. Please talk about the educational component and why this distinction matters.What are some of the graduates going on to do in the next chapter of their lives?There is a fine line between unconditional love and accountability and holding strong boundaries, especially in the lives of adolescents. Can you talk about this dynamic and how the staff manages this reality?Human transformation manifests in all kinds of ways. What does that shift look like in participants? Is there a critical place in the process where a person has to make that decision to choose to do......... What do you notice and how can this understanding guide others who work with adolescents or those who are searching to find their way in life.Everyone has a unique and distinct way of learning. For many using their hands first to guide their thinking and problem solving is their way. Talked about what building, carpentry, baking, food prep and service does for the learning and integrating of those skills as it builds self esteem and confidence?MBW grows out of a religious context...being my brothers and sisters keeper. Jesus was a carpenter. Are there explicit ways in which spiritual/ religion is integrated into the program?The community was blessed by the extraordinary service of feeding people food every day lost hurricanes. What impacts did that have on the students and on the staff?Is there any follow up with persons who have been through the program to see the impacts over time?What are the plans for the future for MBW?How can individuals / organizations support this important life transforming program in the VI?Please share contact information for follow up by members of the listening audience?Closing thoughts or words of encouragement to the audience. What’s the take away for those who are listening.
