We are so excited that the work of NITEWD's amazing co-investigator, Dr. Trenette Clark Goings was recognized. You are amazing, Trenette! We are proud and grateful that you are a part of our team.
On Friday, Oct. 11, Sandra Reeves Spears and John B. Turner Distinguished Professor of Social Work Trenette Clark Goings was presented the University’s 2024 Edward Kidder Graham Faculty Service Award by UNC Faculty Chair Beth Moracco in recognition of Goings’ research efforts to advance the quality of life for residents in underserved and marginalized communities. “Effective prevention can eliminate addiction,” Goings once said when asked to describe her research in just five words. She directs the Innovative and Strategic Prevention in Racial and Ethnic Disparities (INSPIRED) Lab, a nearly 20-person interdisciplinary research team which conducts research to prevent racial and ethnic health disparities. At a breakfast ceremony on University Day, Goings was seated beside her father, Arthur Clark, and her longtime friend Tyreasa Washington. She began by remembering that as a first-year assistant professor at Carolina, she received overwhelming support from professors throughout the School of Social Work offering to mentor her. Goings told the gathered guests that she learned about service to the community in a small town in rural Eastern North Carolina from her father — asking him to stand as she acknowledged those influential lessons — and from her mother, whom she remembered at one point renting a truck and filling it with furniture to bring to a community member in need.

Part of being an anti-racist begins with confronting implicit bias.
“The first trick for dealing with implicit bias is not to be so afraid of it that you don’t look at it, that you realize the fact that we all have biases and that those biases are basically just cognitive shortcuts that we have that make decision-making easier,” Walter Gilliam, ZERO TO THREE Board President.

Such important and wise advice from Dr. Nadia Charguia on taking care of our kids after natural disasters! UNC Psychiatry
“It’s important to be conscientious of the support we need from others to do our own processing,” Dr. Charguia says. “Seek your own resources, ask for help, and remember you don’t have to do this alone.” https://lnkd.in/gyvRBDEx
