#bookreview of When Helping Hurts by Steve Corbett and Brian Fikkert Has a homeless person ever asked you for money? It's uncomfortable because we know we ought do more than give a couple dollars, but we're also worried our donation will be wasted on an addiction. When Helping Hurts explains that most (well-intended!) Christian charity work creates more harm than good. When we paint homes for able-bodied people, when we give out free food to families capable of working for themselves (and so on), we reinforce dependency instead of helping people to rise up to self-sufficiency. The practical principles in this book explain how to identify and solve the real problems homeless and other charity-dependent people face.

World Suicide Prevention Day serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to make suicide awareness, prevention, and support an integral part of your workplace's mental health strategy. It’s deeply concerning that fewer employees feel their workplace has a strategy in place compared to last year. Now, more than ever, it’s essential to show that support is available. #WSPD24 #SuicidePrevention #WorkplaceWellbeing #MentalHealthSupport
