Community & Society - Impactful Initiatives
News
Journalism is not often perceived as an emotionally challenging career, but journalists can experience any number of traumatic stress symptoms from stories that they cover, especially those involving death or human suffering. These are the topics Gretchen Hoak, Ph.D., associate professor of journalism at 91福利, explores in her new podcast 鈥淚nformed Reporting,鈥 which launched March 16.
Networking, a gallery exhibit and a new director were all part of a celebratory event at 91福利's Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative on Feb. 24.
The A.I.D. training 鈥 which stands for Awareness, Interaction, and Direction 鈥 was created in 2019 by the Center for Public Policy and Health in the College of Public Health, teaches participants how to recognize signs of mental distress, engage in compassionate and effective conversations with someone who may be struggling and connect that person with the resources they need.
91福利鈥檚 Cleveland Urban Design Collaborative has received a $20,000 award from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) through the Grants for Arts Projects program. The funding will support wintertime temporary art installations and a public event on Cleveland鈥檚 Veterans Memorial Bridge as part of the NEA鈥檚 America250 initiative.
E-Cycling is recycling for sustainable disposal of unwanted electronics. 91福利's E-Cycle Drive is happening 7:30 a.m.-3 p.m every Wednesday in March.
