Poverty Solutions U-M Discusses Action-Based Research to Fight Poverty
January 17, 2017 - 1:15pm to 2:00pm
Facebook Live! #UMICHCHAT
In October 2016, President Mark Schlissel introduced a new University of Michigan initiative to address one of humanity's most critical and seemingly intractable problems: poverty. Called Poverty Solutions, the U-M initiative will explore and test models to ease the effects of poverty and broadly share that knowledge, while working with community groups and supporting active-learning options for students. Schlissel will be joined H. Luke Shaefer, associate professor of social work and public policy and director of Poverty Solutions, along with other U-M faculty and community partners to discuss upcoming projects the new initiative will tackle. The new projects, ranging from community health worker support to youth jobs, have the potential to impact communities throughout Michigan and the nation.

Holding Them While They Grieve
January 20, 2017 - 1:00pm to 4:15pm
Infants and toddlers in the child welfare system face unimaginable challenges when they are asked, often repeatedly, to separate from the familiar or loved and "attach" to a new caregiver. Unless their process of grief and mourning is recognized and supported, they will be unable to form new, healthy relationships. This workshop will assist child welfare professionals to notice the indicators of infant and toddler mourning, and to support new caregivers in providing the environment and relationship that will allow the child to fall in love with a new caregiver.
