Scripture of the week: Romans 8:31-32 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

Since you’re here, also take a look at the upcoming webinar for @NIAAA9100 LTC 716 - Partnering with Parents
It’s a lot easier to have a tough conversation with someone you’ve already built a relationship with. @DrTroyMe reminds us to seek an understanding of parents, athletes, or staff. What looks like frustration may be passion, or protection, showing up the only way it knows how.
