CHRIS180 Trauma Response Network Mixer

CHRIS180 will be having their first Trauma Response Network Mixer later this month. From their team:

Good afternoon team!

If I have not mentioned it yet I would like to say Happy New Year to you all and welcome to 2019! To start the year off, we thought that it would be fitting to have our first Trauma Response Network Mixer. This space will allow us to do a few things:

  1. Engage, network and build stronger community relationships
  2. Engage in self care practices and conversation
  3. Check the status of TRN Deployment and make appropriate modifications

We will be planning these events monthly to assess our progress and or regress and to make sure that everyone is up for the type of work that we engage in. I really look forward to seeing you all in the same place once again to catch up and have some real discussion on keeping NPU-V safe and keeping residents and community stakeholders in a healthy mental health space.

We also have our reoccurring Healing circles happening at Metropolitan library. I would love for you to possibly identify date to attend and bring someone with you to engage in some positive healing. With that said, we will meet o n February 27th at 530 pm at 656 sports Bar and Grill located at 656 Pryor St SW, Atlanta, GA 30312.

Big shots out to Major Murphy and Ms Luster for swinging through last month!!!

We will need RSVP so we can identify how much food to plan for. Again, I look forward to seeing everyone.

Dear Area Residents,

TALES Production LLC will be filming scenes for an upcoming TV movie entitled, “Tales,” at 555 Whitehall St. Atlanta GA 30303. Filming is scheduled to start on Feb.14 -15, 2019. We will work completely on the business property. There will be trucks parked on Whitehall St for equipment. To ensure the safety of the public, cast and crewmembers, we have requested a permit and police presence from the City of Atlanta.

We are sensitive to the impact that filming can have on the daily operations of a residential/business district. Several off-duty City of Atlanta Police Officers will be onsite during our time at the location to ensure the successful flow of traffic through the area. All equipment and support trucks will be parked within our closure to avoid any unnecessary congestion. It is with these issues in mind that we approach the logistical needs of the production, so we can effectively work to minimize any inconveniences to those in the area.

On behalf of TALES Production LLC, I thank you for your patience and cooperation; it is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, you can reach me at the number or email address below.

Respectfully,
