Merger Approved For The Alliance For Strong Families And Communities and The Council On Accreditation
Share Article WASHINGTON (PRWEB) January 06, 2021 The merger of the Alliance for Strong Families and Communities and the Council on Accreditation has been approved by the boards of both organizations and by a majority of voting members of the Alliance. The vote capped a year-long exploration and four-month due diligence process overseen by both organizations, which share a long history and vision, with the Alliance serving as one of the original founders of COA in 1977.
Until the merger is approved by the state, Jody Levison-Johnson, currently the president and CEO of the Council on Accreditation, will serve as president and CEO of both organizations. She will serve as the inaugural president and CEO of the new organization, which will be headquartered in Washington, D.C., once state approval is granted. Susan Dr
Suicide Deaths on the Rise in Louisiana Amid Pandemic
After having a conversation with a police officer I walked away worried. The comment she made sent chills down my spine. Suicide rates are at an all-time high in Shreveport, I ve never seen so many suicides. . It has been a thought running through my mind all week so I decided to take a look at the numbers for myself and Louisiana s numbers are depressing.
According to America s Health Rankings, Louisiana is seeing some staggering numbers when it comes to preteens. Did you know that suicide is the second-leading cause of death for ages 10-14? It s not looking good in Louisiana, in 2017, 722 people lost their lives to suicide. Keep in mind these numbers are from 3 years ago and the numbers just keep climbing for Louisiana.
