ABWM Launches New Webinar Series: COVID-19: Addressing Needs and Teaching Resilience
American Baptist Women’s Ministries (ABWM) recognizes that COVID-19 is a human, economic, and social crisis that impacts groups in the most vulnerable situations. The United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres emphasized during the launch of the COVID-19 Global Humanitarian Response that "we must come to the aid of the ultra-vulnerable. This is a matter of basic human solidarity. This is the moment to step up for the vulnerable." From the onset of this global health crisis, ABWM has stepped up by offering its Courageous Conversation webinar series that provided free financial, spiritual, and leadership resources. Also, ABWM has provided a lifeline and opportunities to women and children as they rebuild their lives through Reset and Reimagine.
The new webinar series, COVID-19: Addressing Needs and Teaching Resilience, is another way ABWM is stepping up to support COVID-19 relief efforts. Thus, ABWM has invited leading professionals to lead webinars focused on the senior woman experiences, leading in times of crisis, and the impact COVID-19 has had on youth and women battling addiction.
