SUMMARY:When the newsroom becomes your living room: Reporting in the age of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:As the novel Coronavirus continues to spread in the United States\, many media organizations have taken extreme measures to create social distance with reporters and managers and other staff and this has meant that most of these journalists are now working from home. \nFor reporters\, working from home could be a drastic change at a time of extreme pressure and anxiety.  For managers used to leading in a full newsroom transitioning to digital accountability and producing measures might be intimidating. But we have some words of comfort: Do not panic. You are not alone. Freelance journalists and solo correspondents work under similar conditions every day. They work from home\, adapt to changes\, assignments and situations. They also beef up on new digital skills and create workflows that allow them to break stories and make news. \nNow is the time to look at how they do it. They have the best advice on how to cope\, get organized and do your job effectively whether you are sitting in your living room or patio or outside in front of a business. This webinar will provide NAHJ members the tools they need to excel at a difficult time when journalists are expected to produce daily stories covering COVID-19 or any local story that must be covered every day. \nFormat and Program Draft\n\n\nComfort: creating a productive working space \n\n\nCreating and managing a workflow \n\n\nIntro to digital news-gathering tools \n\n\nCommunication is still key: Slack channels and Zoom meetings \n\n\nBuilding sources \n\n\nFrom cybersecurity to self-care \n\n\nKey Objectives\n\n\nHelp journalists working from home for the first time. \n\n\nProvide NAHJ members with useful tools used by freelancers so they can perform well and produce remotely without feeling isolated and/or without resources. \n\n\nBuild strategies to self-care and stay connected to the outside world without becoming overwhelmed. \n\n\nRegister here:\nFirst Session – April 17 at 7:00pm EST \nSecond Session – April 24 at 7:00pm EST \nSpeakers:Romina Ruiz and Mc Nelly Torres

Their drive to create a chemical-free detox program was in response government-funded clinics\, which used methadone to curb the painful heroin withdrawal symptoms\, but did not focus on eradicating chemical dependency. With Dr. Mutulu Shakur\, stepfather of Tupac Shukur\, serving as the frontman\, the detox program helped hundreds of patients in a safe and effective way and ultimately led to a protocol practiced in over 600 health care facilities in the U.S. alone.

SUMMARY:A Reporter’s Guide to Adolescent Learning and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Recent scientific advances have changed our understanding of the powerful role the adolescent years play in setting life trajectories. This critical period\, the bridge between childhood and becoming an adult\, is frequently misunderstood. \n“Although adolescence is often thought of as a time of turmoil and risk for young people\, it is more accurately viewed as a developmental period rich with opportunity for youth to learn and grow\,” declared a sweeping 2019 report from the National Academies of Sciences\, Engineering\, and Medicine. \nWhat are the implications of this evolving mindset for the education\, health and well-being of tweens\, teens and emerging adults? How are new findings informing efforts to shape settings for adolescents that are racially and culturally inclusive and equitable? This two-day seminar will offer journalists a primer on the brain research and springboard to an exploration of these questions and others facing the education and health sectors. \nEligible journalists may apply for scholarships to cover registration and reimburse expenses for lodging and basic travel costs. \nhttps://www.ewa.org/reporters-guide-adolescent-learning-and-well-being

SUMMARY:U.S. Antibiotics Awareness Week 2019
DESCRIPTION:Antibiotics save lives and are critical tools for treating a number of common and more serious infections\, like those that can lead to sepsis. However\, at least 30% of the antibiotics in U.S. outpatient settings are prescribed unnecessarily. Any time antibiotics are used\, they can cause side effects and lead to antibiotic resistance\, one of the most urgent threats to the public’s health. U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (Nov. 18-24) is an annual one-week observance that gives participating organizations an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of appropriate antibiotic use to combat the threat of antibiotic resistance.
