October 31 Breakfast With The Mayors

October 2 FrankTalks: Candidates' Forum
2023-10-02 17:30 - 20:00 | Franklin City Hall
To help educate voters about the issues and acquaint them with the candidates, several community organizations are coming together on Monday, Oct. 2, to host a Candidates’ Forum. This will serve as Franklin Tomorrow’s monthly FrankTalks event.

The program will be held at Franklin City Hall, 5:30-8 p.m., and all candidates on the ballot will be invited to participate in this event being presented by Franklin Tomorrow and other events.
Each candidate in a contested race will be offered the chance to deliver a one-minute opening statement, as well as a one-minute closing statement. The candidates will each answer individual questions which have been prepared by the presenting organizations, but which are randomly selected. There will be no advance knowledge of the questions by the candidates.
We anticipate it will air live on Franklin TV/social media channels and replayed through those same channels.

July 24 QPR Training
2023-07-24 13:00 - 14:30 | Columbia State Community College, 1228 Liberty Pike, Franklin, Tennessee, 37064
Question Persuade Refer (QPR) Suicide Prevention Training
Just as people trained in CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver help save thousands of lives each year, people trained in QPR learn how to understand mental health, recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis, and how to question, persuade, and refer someone to help. Each year thousands of Americans, like you, are saying “Yes” to saving the life of a friend, colleague, sibling, or neighbor. Gatekeepers can be anyone, but include parents, friends, neighbors, teachers, ministers, doctors, nurses, office supervisors, squad leaders, foremen, police officers, advisors, caseworkers, firefighters, and many others who are strategically positioned to recognize and refer someone at risk of suicide.
As a QPR-trained Gatekeeper you will learn to:

Recognize the warning signs of suicide
Know how to offer hope
Know how to get help and save a life

The class will take one hour to 1.5 hours to complete.
With the collaboration of Find Hope Franklin, TSPN (Tennessee Suicide Prevention Network, and QPR– we are able to offer this vital training and materials at no cost to you. Franklin Tomorrow is excited to share this important information with the Franklin community.
