Dear Cobb Collaborative Network:

The MISSION of the Cobb Collaborative is "Engaging, Educating and Empowering the community to improve the well-being of children and families." One way that we work to forward this mission is by offering no or low cost training opportunities in our initiative focus areas of mental health, literacy and civic engagement.

Training opportunities we offer include:

• Community Resiliency Model (CRM)®
• Connections Matter
• Connect Now
• Mental Health First Aid
• Becoming a More Resilient Parent
• Darkness to Light: Stewards of Children®
• Mandated Reporter Training
• Basics Workshops
• Basics Staff Training
• Connecting Cobb Veterans Presentation
• Trusted Partnership Trainings
• ...and MORE!

Recently, we added a new "Training Opportunities" page to our Collaborative website that provides information about each offered training as well as ways to contact us to schedule training events. We welcome opportunities to present our training events throughout our Collaborative member network and within the Cobb County community. Please visit our web page for more information and to submit scheduling requests.

Questions? Please email communications@cobbcollaborative.org

Warmly,

Irene Barton

Cobb Collaborative Executive Director

Seeking Mind Your Mind Speaks Podcast Guests

We are EXCITED that our bi-weekly Mind Your Mind Speaks podcast is growing!

The podcast began with a mental health focus and in recent months we expanded our content to cover all of the Collaborative's focus initiatives. To date, we have dropped over 50 episodes and look to continue the momentum of the podcast as we further its reach.

Interested in being a guest on our podcast? We enjoy having conversations with our Collaborative Members and sharing what's going on within our Collaborative network. The podcast is hosted by Cobb Collaborative Executive Director, Irene Barton, and episodes are recorded on Zoom. Each conversation is targeted to be about half an hour and only the audio portions are used for the podcast. If you'd like to be a guest or have a guest suggestion, please contact Communications Director, Kelly Mellen, to coordinate.

Also, if you're not already a Mind Your Mind Speaks listener/subscriber, please check out our podcast. New episodes drop bi-weekly on Thursdays (excluding holidays) and can be found on the following outlets:

• Apple Podcasts
• Podbean
• Cobb Collaborative MYM Speaks Web Page

We also encourage our Collaborative network to SHARE our social media posts and podcasts with your networks as well. And, we encourage Apple Podcast listeners to please leave us a 5* review to help boost ratings.
