Remembering Jim Braun

NSPN takes this time to acknowledge the passing of a longtime friend of the Network, Jim Braun. Jim served as a member of the NSPN Board of Directors and received the lifetime achievement award from the Network in 2012. He was the first to think out of the box and to challenge those around him to do more, give more, and to believe more. Jim’s smile, enthusiasm, and courage in the face of pancreatic cancer reminds us all that kindness and bravery go a long way. Jim is survived by his wife Pam, as well as his sons and their families. Excerpts from the published obituary follow:

James A. (Jim) Braun, former president and CEO of Youth In Need, a youth and family services organization serving more than 20,000 individuals and families in six eastern Missouri counties, passed away peacefully at home Friday, December 22, 2017 at the age of 69. Jim served as president and CEO of Youth in Need from 1988 until his retirement in 2012. Under his tenure the organization’s budget grew from $500,000 to $17 million and the number of children and families served increased from 350 to 10,000. Jim’s resolve to nurture the health and well-being of children and families was embodied in the care, devotion, and love he continually showed to his wife, children, grandchildren, and extended family.

Jim’s greatest legacy will be the example he set for all who encountered him in how to live life openly and face death gracefully. As he stated in his own words, “My hope is that when people remember me, they will be reminded of their own mortality, take time to cherish and nurture the relationships in their lives, and be mindful to provide kind thoughts, prayers and meaningful actions to those that struggle without the advantage of loving family and friends.”

Prepare for MLK Day: An Opportunity to Talk About Society, Hope, and Action

In 2017, some of the ugliest legacies of our national history emerged from shadows into the light. White supremacist rallies and marches spread hate and violence in communities across the country.  People are talking about that, which is good.  People need to talk about that. People also need to talk, and take action, about institutional racism and policies that promote oppression and inequality.  January 15th is marked as a day we acknowledge the contributions of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to the American Civil Rights Movement. This is an opportunity to talk with young people about social injustice, civil disobedience, peaceful protest, service to others, hope, and action. It can be hard to know where to start. Here are some resources that can help:

From Counseling Today, strategies for facilitating racial dialogues: http://ct.counseling.org/2015/12/race-talk-and-facilitating-difficult-racial-dialogues/
