Incorporation of Strength-Based, Positive Youth Development Principles in Juvenile Justice
During his recent sabbatical, Dr. Barton visited several juvenile justice programs around the country that were attempting to adopt practices based on strength-based, positive youth development principles. Although the dominant perspective in juvenile justice has long been problem-focused, operating from a deficit model, some practitioners have recently adopted a vastly different perspective, focused on promoting supports and opportunities intended to maximize the likelihood that youth will develop positively to their fullest potential.
The focus of this exploratory study was to determine: a) the extent to which strengths-based, positive youth development-focused practice is actually occurring in selected programs; b) structural and functional aspects of organizations that are (or are not) aligned with these practices; and c) factors that have facilitated or hindered the implementation of these practices.

Homeward Bound
I am sending out this email today because Martha's House is a much needed service in the Bloomington community and it can use all the assistance it can receive. The staff at Martha's House has decided to put together a team for the Homeward Bound walk, which takes place in April 2008. This is a walk dedicated to raise money to help fight homelessness. The Executive Director at my agency has challenged all of us to not only participate in the walk, but to do extensive fundraising to ensure the existence of our much needed service.
No amount is too small or too big, and every contribution is appreciated and much needed! If you would like to learn more about the walk, feel free to go to http://homewardboundindiana.org/ . There are way to donate online through that website, by clicking on "make a donation"
and then choosing "Martha's House" to donate to.
Also, because our director has challenged each of us to raise a certain amount of money (at least $300 each), I would certainly not be opposed to receiving checks myself, either by mail or in person. Checks can be made out to Martha's House and sent to my Indiana address(listed below).
My address is 2506 East 5th Street, Bloomington, IN 47408 – or dropped off at the School of Social Work, 1127 East Atwater
Donations are tax deductable. Attached if a form you can send in with the check. If you fill out the information, a receipt will be sent to you at our earliest convenience.
Whether you are able to make a donation or not, I appreciate you taking the time out to read my email.
This is a very important cause that I am very passionate about; therefore I thank you for your time and consideration.
Please take care and feel free to contact me at 240-447-3296 if you have any other questions. Also feel free to forward this email to others who may be interested in making a contribution.

6th Annual Campus Cleanup 2008
Where: Dunn Meadow
To organizations of Indiana University: You and your organization are invited to participate in the 6th Annual Campus Cleanup hosted by Civic Leadership Development. Civic Leadership Development is an organization which gives Kelley School of Business students the opportunity to volunteer in the community, while promoting philanthropy, good citizenship, and social responsibility. Campus Cleanup is an opportunity for you to work alongside with other students, organizations, and community members to help clean up the campus. This event relates real life issues and concerns with proper management and development skills. With your participation we hope to create awareness and a lasting impact on the Indiana University campus. In years past we have had over 100 volunteers, and plan on even greater participation this year. Campus Cleanup will last approximately three hours. The first two hours are dedicated to cleaning up around the campus. Each of your organizations will be assigned your own area of the campus. Garbage bags, gloves, tongs, and garbage cans will be provided on site. During the last hour pizza and soft drinks will be served. Along with pizza and soft drinks there are other incentives to come out and help.
· There will be a raffle with prizes including gift certificates from your favorite local businesses. Each participant in the event is eligible for the raffle. Additional raffle tickets will be sold on site.
· This event is an opportunity for your organization to work with other clubs from all over Indiana University for a common cause. There are very few times during the year when all the student leaders of the University can get together and give back to the school and community.
Civic Leadership Development highly encourages your organization to participate in this event. We also encourage you all to participate in the planning. Teamwork is essential to the overall success of this project.
In order to insure enough food and drinks for everybody, please confirm your organization’s participation and the number of members you believe may attend by emailing me at bpshore@indiana.edu, by March 15th or as soon as possible. Use the same email address for any questions or suggestions.

"Worlds Collide: Spirit, Soul & Body’: A Spoken Word and Visual Art"
February 25 ~ 6pm at Gallery Opening-Jordan Street Lobby
7pm Word Performances- Grand Hall of NMBCC
The African American Arts Institute presents "Worlds Collide: Spirit, Soul & Body," an evening of spoken word and visual art. All humans that walk the sands of earth exist within the realms of spirit, soul and body simultaneously. Daily, these worlds collide. It is not always a collision of catastrophic proportions. It is, however, usually a gentle passing that can cultivate life, love, and peace. Worlds Collide explores the gentle collision of cultural diversity—diversity of age, gender, ethnicity, and art form—through spoken word and visual art. The event features a catered gallery opening of paintings, photography, and sculptures by some of Indiana’s finest visual artists, including Bloomington’s own Wayne Manns and Joel Washington, and Indiana University Yara Cluver, and Katie Dieter. The gallery opening is followed by spoken word performances by the Philadelphia-based Asian American duo Yellow Rage; poet, writer, educator, and veteran of the Taco Shop Poets Tomás Riley; and IU Professor Emeritus Dr. James E. Mumford. The gallery opening begins at 6:00 p.m. in the lobby of the Ruth N. Halls Theatre in the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. Spoken word performances begin at 7:00 p.m. in the Grand Hall of the Neal-Marshall Black Culture Center. The event is free and open to the public.

Talk Therapy as Cultural Practice: A "Narrative" Approach to Culture, Power, and Change
Date: Feb 28, 2008
Time: 4:00 PM - 5:15 PM
Helen Gremillion, from Gender Studies, will speak at the Poynter Center. "Narrative therapy," developed in the 1980s by Australian Michael White in collaboration with New Zealander David Epston, is an approach to talk therapy that explores the sociopolitical contexts of all clients' lives and relationships. Narrative work grew out of a critique of supposed cultural and interpersonal "neutrality" or "objectivity" within mainstream therapeutic practice. This talk presents narrative work as an alternative to standard therapies for anorexia nervosa in particular (the latter is the subject of Gremillion's book, Feeding Anorexia: Gender and Power at a Treatment Center).

Friday, April 25, 2008 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. **EDT – Registration at 9:30 a.m.Transgenderism: Understanding the Phenomenon and Issues Specific to the Transgender Community
Location: NASW-IN Office, 1100 W. 42nd Street, Suite 220, Indianapolis, IN 46208 Refreshments and Lunch included
Content: Transgenderism is a blanket term used to describe persons who do not identify with the sex they were assigned at birth. This workshop will cover a wide range of issues related to the care and support of individuals who are transgendered. Included will be a look at the inadequacies of the two-and-only-two-sex/two-gender paradigm, a general discussion of the phenomenon of transgenderism, the DSM and its inclusion of transgenderism as a mental disorder, and issues specific to providing counseling and therapy to transgendered persons and the important people in their lives.
Objectives: After attending this workshop, participants should be able to:
1. Define transgenderism and identify the ways in which it can manifest
2. Explain the DSM diagnosis of gender identity disorder and discuss relevant issues surrounding it
3. Explain how the assumed sex/gender dichotomy adequately fails to describe that part of human experience referred to collectively as sex and gender
Presenters: Kand S. McQueen, Ph.D. Kand holds a Ph.D. from Indiana University in Inquiry Methodology and is currently an Associate Instructor at Indiana University’s School of Education. Kand’s research interests include assessing attitudes toward the atypically gendered; and deconstructing the two-and-only-two sex/two gender paradigm. Kand has conducted presentations concerning gender identity and transgenderism at conferences and universities nationwide.
