- Brother's Keeper? -In this highly interactive, 2-hour presentation, Cocomo examines issues of poverty and hunger, both global & domestic; questions certain moral authorities; and proposes individually responsible options for future human services directions affecting the health and economic futures of our growing poor and hungry populations.
- Assessing the Value of Diversity - Cocomo calls up a broad range examples from human history, natural history, and his own life experiences to draw participants into new realizations of the urgency of valuing human diversity.
- Prison, Arts, & AIDS for Sale: Is Everything Economics -Cocomo bares bone and sinew of his 25 year personal and professional molding and re-molding within the American cultural phenomenon of industrialized prisons and AIDS treatment and its effects on other cultural institutions like education, art, and healthcare.
- It’s No Crime to Be Different, Is It? - Cocomo poses the question and provides the fodder for the very lively debate that ensues as participants consider just what does it cost to be "different" in today's society and what exactly are our individual contributions to the traffic in that dubious marketplace.
- LGBT & the Real JC - Cocomo delivers the goods about what Jesus would do and say about health, sexuality, relationships, family, and the ability of LGBT to live happy and successful lives today. The workshop looks at the scriptural foundation Jesus Christ laid two thousand years ago to assure today’s LGBT of the unquestionable love God holds for us all.Building On Your Strengths -
