Focused on suicide prevention and mental health awareness, Hope for the Day oversees a variety of programs and activities that encourage people to reach out for help when dealing with mental health issues. As part of these efforts, the organization offers several educational resources, including courses and workshops.

Through Hope for the Day's eight-hour Mental Health First Aid course, individuals can learn to identify developing mental health issues or a mental health crisis. The training provides information on anxiety, depression, and addiction disorders and offers a five-step action plan for responding to someone struggling with these and other issues.

Hope for the Day also hosts monthly PEERvention Workshops, which provide participants with tools and strategies to promote effective mental health care. The workshops are free and typically held at the Logan Square Branch of the Chicago Public Library.

People outside of the Chicago area can support the efforts of Hope for the Day by looking into the group's online resources, which include tips on ways to be supportive to someone in need and printable sheets and cards. More information is available at www.hftd.org. Hope for the Day also runs the innovative coffee shop Sip of Hope www.SipOfHope.com -- proceeds go to benefit youth mental health and suicide prevention programs.

Sean Tenner is a respected presence in the Chicago community who leads KNI Communications and works proactively with nonprofits, foundations, electoral campaigns, and advocacy campaigns. In his role as a Democratic political consultant, Sean Tenner was quoted in a recent Jewish Insider article on a high profile Illinois congressional race.

At issue is the Illinois 3rd congressional district, which encompasses many largely Catholic neighborhoods in Chicago and the southwestern and western suburbs of Chicago. Many view the primary election to be held in March 2020 viewed as a referendum on women's reproductive rights and affordable health care, the two leading candidates being Rep. Dan Lipinski and Marie Newman. The latter candidate lost narrowly to the incumbent in the 2018 election for the House seat.

The article noted that Newman and Lipinski (an eight-term congressman) have different views on the Jewish state of Israel in the current campaign.

Commenting on this issue, Mr. Tenner noted that, while Muslim and Jewish voters are not large components of the district's electorate, both groups have strong feelings about the Middle East and get engaged in local politics. He noted that it is a systemic strength of the American political system that members of both communities have the ability to advocate for their positions and have their voices heard in the primary process.

Today, Sean Tenner lives in Chicago, Illinois, where he serves as president of KNI Communications. Alongside fellow human rights advocate Bakary Tandia of Mauritania, Tenner founded The Abolition Institute in 2013, seeking to eradicate slavery in Mauritania, a West African nation where race and descent based slavery is still widespread.

Even though Mauritania abolished slavery in 1981, thousands of its 3.4 million residents continue to live in slavery. When the country outlawed the practice, it was the last in the world to do so. A law officially established slavery as a crime in 2007. But since then, the government has prosecuted very few cases of slavery.

Located in the Sahara Desert, Mauritania covers 400,000 square miles and hosts about eight people per square mile. The ethnic group known White Moors had historically owned slaves.

Over the years, several humanitarian groups have traveled to Mauritania to promote causes meant to improve the way of life for those living there.
