Physical and Mental Health
Committee Chair – Darlene Beale Thomas
Physical and mental health are essential components of overall well-being, each influencing and supporting the other. Physical health involves maintaining bodily functions through regular exercise, proper nutrition, and preventative care, while mental health encompasses emotional, psychological, and social well-being. FCAC’s Physical and Mental Health Committee is dedicated to promoting both physical and mental health utilizing a holistic approach that includes stress management, adequate rest, and fostering supportive relationships. Prioritizing these aspects can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life, enhancing one’s ability to cope with challenges and achieve personal goals.
Political Awareness and Involvement
Lydia Powell – Social Action Chair
FCAC’s Political Awareness and Involvement Committee is passionate about social action. We want all community members to have a deeper understanding of political systems, processes, and issues. We stay informed about current events, local/state/ national government functions, and recognize the impact of policies on society. The committee will actively participate in the political process, which includes voting, engaging in political discussions, advocacy, or involvement in campaigns and protests. Together, political awareness and involvement hopes to empower our community to contribute to democratic processes, influence decision-making, and promote accountability in governance. Active engagement fosters a more informed and participatory society.
