As our nation unravels the racial injustice that is woven into our country’s fabric, the CATCH team recognizes the pain this growth brings. Each of us has been challenged to understand, accept, and explore our personal feelings surrounding race. This can be difficult and complicated.
CATCH is offering this special edition newsletter to provide resources to help with those challenges; both for ourselves and in support of our children.
