INCLUSION THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP

The recent reauthorization of the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act, and the subsequent advancement of Employment First policy has reignited discussion around disability employment, particularly with regards to the potential for entrepreneurship to challenge the charity and rehabilitation models that pervade disability employment.

While self-employment among people with disabilities has been studied previously, entrepreneurship is qualitatively distinct both theoretically and in practice. Believed to foster economic growth and attitudinal change, entrepreneurship has been an essential part of the economy and historically has been used to help disadvantaged populations enter the labor market. Entrepreneurs with disabilities represent a source of innovation and productivity and, if offered the appropriate resources, entrepreneurship is both an employment strategy and an antipoverty strategy that can lead to economic self-sufficiency and empowerment.

This presentation reports on current employment trends and policies in the United States, and presents results from an interdisciplinary research project that uniquely bridges the fields of disability studies and entrepreneurial studies.

Mental Health Conference: Uniting Voices
Active Minds at the University of Washington

Theme: Educate, critically discuss, and share stories revolving around mental health issues

Purpose: To develop awareness of mental health issues and provide ways for UW students to combat the stigma.

Goal: Motivate proactive engagement in students to learn about, reflect on, and take action against mental health stigma.

Our Ask: Ways to get involved (ordered by increasing level of involvement):

• Volunteers for a portion of the conference
  • Set up
  • Standby to answer any questions by participants
  • Clean up
• Tabling for your organization for 30 mins
• Student speakers for personal stories
• Facilitate a workshop

Rationale:

Misconceptions about mental health issues affect everyone and acts as a barrier to treatment-seeking from people who face mental health problems. Education promotes critical analysis of mental health stigma and conversation broadens awareness. We aim to deconstruct the myths of mental health by changing the conversation, and in so doing so, creating a healthier, more open-minded environment for people to seek help and treatment.

One in every four people experience mental health problems. How should we talk about mental health? A place to start:

• End the stigma/shame
• Avoid correlations between criminality and mental illness. Do correlate more between mental illness and suicide
• Avoid words like “crazy” or “psycho”
• Grow comfortable talking about your own experience with mental health
• Don’t define a person by his/her mental illnesses-Separate the person from the problem
• Sometimes the problem isn’t that we’re using the wrong words, but that we’re not talking at all
• Recognize the amazing contributions of people with mental health differences

WHO:

• Audience: UW students
• Presenters: Community leaders, scholars, students
• Collaborators: Mental health groups, services and community

WHAT: Mental health conference to teach, advocate and connect

WHEN: May 26, 9:30-3:30 pm

WHERE: TBD

WHY: To stand up against the stigma surrounding mental health issues and promote a mentally healthy campus

HOW: By spreading mental health information and awareness

Tentative Conference Map Out
Last Updated: 3/1/2018
Location: TBD
Conference Hours: 9:30 am – 3:30 pm

In collaboration with:

Health and Wellness Center · Hall Health · Counseling Center · Disability Center ·  Student Health Consortium (SHC) · Huskies for Suicide Prevention and Awareness · Peer Health Educators · Neurobiology Club

Mission of Active Minds UW:

Active Minds at UW is the newest chapter among over 400 currently at college campuses across the country. In association with the national organization, Active Minds, we strive to promote mental health awareness and education through campaigns, fundraising, informational meetings, and community-wide events. Examples of such campaigns and events include: Stress Less Week, Suicide Prevention Month, National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, etc.. Mental health disorders are an ever-growing problem in college. Unfortunately, most students suffer silently for fear of what others may think, or they simply don’t know where to start in getting help. It can be horribly isolating. Our goal is to provide a place where students can learn about mental health, and mental health issues. We hope to provide information about resources both on and off campus in order to promote help-seeking behaviors in individuals who may be able to benefit from them. We also work to relay the latest scholarly findings of mental health research and information as it pertains to college students. Mental health affects everyone in one way or another, which is why we need to bring Active Mind to UW. All students are welcome and encouraged to join. Please be sure to keep in mind that this is NOT a support group, and we do not provide any mental health counseling of any kind. We are not mental health professionals, but rather students interested in spreading mental health information and awareness, in order to stand up against the stigma surrounding mental health problems, and to promote a mentally healthy campus. Students with or without mental health issues are equally encouraged to join.

Farber Memorial Fellowship

This fellowship is for University of Washington MSW students who are enrolled during the 2017-2018 academic year. The fund has been established to honor the social work careers of Arthur and Ruth Farber.

About Arthur and Ruth Farber:

In a career starting as a practitioner, supervisor and executive, and culminating in 17 years as a professor at the University of Washington School of Social Work, Arthur was a courageous pioneer for social justice and individual empowerment.  In addition to his professional areas of interest, Arthur Farber’s personal style embodied a constant expressive joy in the exploration of ideas that led him intrinsically toward innovation.

His colleagues admired his capacity to maintain broad-based intellectual respect and cordial relationships with those holding differing opinions.  Students found him open and warm, as he encouraged them to explore themselves and their chosen profession with honesty and depth.  Friends and family delighted in his humor and treasured his capacity for self-examination and thirst for learning. And he was that rare academic – a philosopher practitioner – who sought to be a change agent and made a difference.

Throughout Arthur’s career, Ruth, a professional social work counselor for over 50 years, had been his essential partner, united in outlook, yet willing to discuss and question each new turn of his philosophical journey.

COM 597 M: Digital Transformations of Organizations (Kirsten Foot)

Mondays, March 26th-June 4th, 6:00-8:50pm, CMU 302

**Please note that this class meets only 3 hours a week, but is a 5-credit course. The professor has designed the course to require weekly observation and interview sessions outside of class that are equivalent to an hour of class time each week. The course has a prerequisite: a Memo of Understanding signed by the student and his/her organizational liaison is required to receive an add code for registration in the course. Please read the full course description below for more details.

The process of transforming organizations– whether for-profit companies, non-profit organizations, or government agencies– is often complex, even more so when digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) are involved. There are many reasons why organizational leaders or members initiate change, why technology adoption fails, why people resist the introduction of new tools, and why new tools often have unintended consequences and effects. Managing technology change within organizations or being a “change agent” is rewarding yet extremely challenging work. This course prepares students to take on such roles. Using a case study approach, students in this class will learn how to identify potential roadblocks to change and develop analytical lenses for assessing digitally-mediated changes in organizations. Together we will examine several aspects of such changes including innovation cycles, change leadership, technology breakdowns, resistance to ICTs and/or organizational change, and collaboration.
