Curious about the evolution of Better Speech and Hearing Month? Here's the scoop! 🍧 Over 50 years ago, the National Association for Hearing and Speech Action (NAHSA), a branch of The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), initiated this awareness campaign. This year, the observance month will take on a new name, moving forward as National Speech-Language-Hearing Month. The word "better" was removed from the title to promote inclusivity and eliminate labels that could potentially imply judgment. What hasn't changed is the mission—to increase recognition of communication disorders, educate the public, and promote preventative measures. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/dA63EjYr.

Grateful to ADARA: Excellence in Service Delivery to Individuals Who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing for giving me the opportunity to present on “Strategic Insights into Organizations that Serve our Community.” Key takeaways from the session: • Legislation can be enacted based on a single needs assessment, as was the case in Connecticut. They now have a mandate and funding to create a new bureau for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, among other achievements. • Statewide priorities can be immediately apparent through data collection, analysis, and reporting. In Louisiana, an ASL Interpreter needs assessment revealed what needed to be done to change the situation. Since then, they have done an incredible job with new strategic initiatives intended to bring about these important outcomes. Integrating data into strategic conversations drives significant and lasting change. Together, we can harness the power of data to shape a brighter future for our communities.

Flint: do you fear it? avoid it? hate it? Try embracing it instead. It is at the heart of Genesee county and effects its' residents. Residents can be part of the positive or the negative. They are victims of how you, and the rest of the world sees them but it's not the full truth. Flint residents have heart - lots of love, heartache and compassion, resiliency. I have seen and experienced it repeatedly. What happens when their is no justice? When agencies fail you? Those hurt and angry enough take it into their own hands and seek recourse. Often the only justice their families have experienced -so, for Flint Residents it's really important if they don't want to be on that receiving side of justice - they don't snitch or talk about it. Since when has Flint ever received any other kind of Justice? March of 2022, is when Flint Southwestern finally got the okay to use the water filtration systems - first time since 2015 -- 7 YEARS of not being able to drink water (since 5th grade for our Seniors). 7 years of being reminded EACH TIME you reach to drink water, cook food, wash hands - that people in charge didn't care to fix it, didn't help, won't give relief (or even apologize). Fear/hate/avoidance of Flint doesn't help you, or them. Judging them by the only justice they know, instead of helping them obtain justice doesn't help either. Thankful for groups and people like Tia who help share and support. Check out FlintSide.com articles for more on Flint's heart and resiliency.

Have you signed up yet for our upcoming learning experience on Decolonizing Trauma-Informed Practice? This is an offering you will not want to miss, facilitated by Sabrina Meherally and sahibzada mayed (صاحبزادہ مائد). Throughout this session, we will critically examine existing frameworks and paradigms, aiming to dismantle institutionalized approaches to trauma that contribute to the pathologization of people’s lived experiences. By exploring the origins of common trauma-informed practices and the significance of the liberatory harm reduction movement, we will contextualize trauma within an abolitionist and anti-colonial context. Through thought-provoking reflections and creative prompts, we will imagine alternative pathways, emphasizing non-prescriptive, non-pathologized, care-based methodologies that prioritize individual agency and community empowerment.
