A few days ago, Growing a New Heart celebrated our LA expansion! The event brought together local leaders and partner organizations to reflect on the Helpline’s early impact. Since expanding to California in October, the Helpline has already seen a 12% increase in calls from the state!

Our responders use the Dialogues Across Differences skills every day. They use the Field of Peace to stay grounded in moments of tension, add missing information with compassionate accountability, and ask powerful facilitative questions to explore new possibilities!

As an advisory board member of the A Call for Change Helpline, Tanisha Arena, Executive Director of Arise for Social Justice, attended the recent Massachusetts Community Care Network Convening at Holyoke Media and spoke about how the Helpline provides an alternative to the carceral system!

At A Call for Change, all responders are trained in Growing a New Heart practices.
