 is an eight-session small group program that celebrates our interconnectedness with the land and those who live on it.

 marginalized communities, and
 their own health and spiritual wellbeing.

 Food, Faith & Farming Network is gathering a group of 8 â€“ 12 participants interested in exploring these topics with us via Zoom.

 Resources
 Here are some resources that your religious community might be interested in utilizing for your next ecology event! The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's Partners for Health is conducting a "MyStrengths+MyHealth" survey to help them understand strengths, challenges, and needs of our community.  In this survey, you will be asked about a range of topics related to your health status and health care you receive. Example topics include safe at work and home, mental health, caretaking, breathing, nutrition, physical activity, substance use, and personal care. The research survey will take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

 To learn more about the "MyStrengths+MyHealth" survey, watch this short video https://tinyurl.com/MSMH-Video  
 Please use this link https://tinyurl.com/MSMH-Milwaukee to complete the survey. This information will be used to understand community strengths (assets) and needs during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.  Burials practices are important to both religious and environmental groups. Talk to your family, religious leader, and funeral director about your final wishes.
