COFFEE with a CAUSE
Coffee with
a Cause is
a data driven conversation balancing awareness with actionable
solutions. Each
month we examine the data and contributing factors that
trigger or exacerbate the poverty-depression cycle.
Actionable awareness is a balanced approach that uses data to
identify root causes and target contributing factors impacting our most
vulnerable and at-risk neighbors.
With a balanced
approach we complement government programs and traditional
non-profits with meaningful employment and
merit-based opportunities. At the same time creating additional diversion tools for
mental health suicide prevention efforts. Proven and targeted economic
interventions can help mental health experts to identify
and treat those in crisis or suffering from serious mental illnesses, while
reducing long-term costs to individuals, caregivers and communities.

ACTIONABLE AWARENESS
Difficult problems cannot be solved by avoiding difficult data and conversations. Only by confronting the data with an open-minded and ongoing conversation about both the problems and solutions can we do more than talk about the data... we can act on it. It's important to recognize a balanced approach uses data first to identify needs and then to target actionable solutions. There's always plenty to talk about and something we can do!
