SUMMARY:Other:Disability Identity for Caregivers: Small Group Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Caring for a loved one with a disability can be a turbulent experience mentally and emotionally. There are challenges to navigate at work\, in your personal life\, and in your ties to community. There are also opportunities for new and strengthened connections\, personal growth\, and joy. \n\nThe LSA Disability Navigators are facilitating small group discussions for LSA employees (faculty and staff\, including student workers) who want space to process their experiences as caregivers for loved ones with disabilities with a group of peers. This group is appropriate for parents and foster parents of children with disabilities as well as people caring for parents\, siblings\, other family\, or friends with disabilities.\n\nParticipants will:\n- Learn about the 7 stages of disability acceptance.\n- Explore how to help their loved one incorporate disability into their identity in a healthy way.\n- Discuss how to foster a support network and fend off burnout.\n- Crowdsource resources and advice for navigating work and life as a caregiver to a disabled loved one.\n\nParticipant Privacy: Participants will receive guidance on how to protect their loved one's identity and personal details. Participants may share as much—or as little—about their personal situation as they are comfortable. By registering\, you are agreeing to respect the privacy of other participants and agreeing to not share their identities or details of their lives outside of the discussion session.\n\nFormat: This discussion group will be conducted virtually on Zoom. Camera use will be optional\, but is encouraged. Auto-captioning will be enabled and slides will be shared during and following the workshop. Participants can participate verbally by unmuting or in writing via the chat function.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Change It Up!©: Bystander Intervention
DESCRIPTION:Change It Up!© brings bystander intervention skills to students for the purpose of building supportive and respectful communities. Change It Up!© is based on a nationally recognized five-step bystander intervention model that develops students’ skills and confidence when intervening in situations that negatively impact campus climate. This workshop explores how students’ identities and experiences impact their interactions inside and outside of the classroom. Through interactive theater\, students apply the five steps to real-life scenarios and have an opportunity to practice and discuss how they can leverage these skills within their campus communities.\nLearning Objectives:\n\n\nGain an understanding of what it means to be a bystander and factors that influence intervention\n\n\nGain multiple strategies to intervene and disrupt harm such as microaggressions\, bias incidents\, stereotyping\, sexual harassment\, etc.\n\n\nAct as an ally and educator\, especially when you hold privilege and power and witness harm to those who do not hold privilege and power\n\n\nLearn how to receive and respond to feedback about harm you caused\, even if unintentional\n\n\nThis workshop fulfills the bystander intervention requirement for Rackham’s DEI certificate program.\nThis workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students\, doctoral students\, and postdoctoral fellows.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Health Equity Leadership Series - The Birth Detroit Story
DESCRIPTION:Hope\, strength\, and vision -- Amidst the undeniable tragedies surrounding maternal and infant death rates in Detroit\, another narrative exists. This narrative leans on hope\, harnesses community strengths\, and imagines a future in which Detroit is a leader in community-based maternal and infant care. Community leaders across Detroit are using this strengths-based lens to find innovative and equitable solutions to these urgent issues. One of the newest community-centered solutions is Birth Detroit. Birth Detroit embraces a community organizing approach to birth center development\, rooted in deep equity and meaningful partnerships.
