The Odyssey Outpatient Network expands its continuum of care, supporting a full spectrum of mental health disorders in East Tennessee

BRENTWOOD, Tenn. - November 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Odyssey Behavioral Healthcare, a leading provider of mental health treatment services, proudly announces its newest outpatient location in Knoxville, Tennessee, eight miles from The University of Tennessee campus and under an hour from the Pasadena Villa residential treatment program Smoky Mountain Lodge. As the ninth Pasadena Villa Outpatient location and the second in Tennessee, Pasadena Villa Outpatient — Knoxville was developed to respond to the area's growing need for superior clinical treatment for mental health disorders. 

According to the most recent information from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), in Tennessee in 2021:

• 43.5% of adults reported having symptoms of anxiety or depression
• One million adults in Tennessee reported suffering from a mental health condition. Of those adults with a serious mental health condition, more than half did not receive the mental health care they needed.

"As the Odyssey Outpatient Network expands its presence in Tennessee, we have an opportunity to build a stronger mental health system through providing supportive environments for residents with the appropriate level of high-quality care," said Richard Clark, CEO of Odyssey. "This new facility in Knoxville furthers our mission of providing seamless support for those facing significant mental health challenges through connection, compassion, and holistic care on their journey to mental wellness."

The Knoxville location specializes in treating the most prevalent mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, and more complex co-occurring disorders. Multidisciplinary teams, consisting of licensed clinicians and board-certified psychiatrists collaborate to create individualized treatment plans for every client receiving care. Each person's treatment is supported by close collaboration with providers in the community to maintain a smooth transition to lower levels of care as clients complete their program.

Providing psychiatric care for adults of all genders (18 years and older) with mental health disorders, the Knoxville clinic offers multiple levels of care including a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP).

R.E.A.L. Black Women in Ministry Thrive Initiative, funded by the Lilly Endowment and co-sponsored by the Global Black Women's Chamber of Commerce, will Honor 'She-Roes'

WASHINGTON - November 30, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Three hundred trailblazing Black women faith leaders from across the country will convene at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, this Friday, Dec. 2, 6-10 p.m. for a gala recognizing 20 outstanding "She-roes." The event is part of an unprecedented effort to mentor emerging Black female clergy taking the reins of an almost exclusively male-led religious sector of American life.

Hosting the ceremony will be President Obama's appointee, the Honorable (Reverend Dr.) Suzan D. Johnson Cook, the first woman and African-American to be Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom. Dr. Cook was also the first woman president of the legendary Hampton Ministers' Conference, a major association of Black clergy, denominations, and institutions. Now in her 40^th year of ordained ministry, Ambassador Cook has dedicated this season of her work "not to retiring, but to inspiring." 

Among the honorees will be Turner Theological Seminary of Atlanta's first African-American female president, Dr. Ammie L. Davis, the first Black woman to lead a Baptist missions agency, Dr. Gina Stewart, and the First Lady of the 1.3 million-member Full Gospel Movement, Elder Debra Morton. 

Dr. Johnson Cook said, "You can't keep good women down. The strength of their character, charisma, spirit, and intellect causes them to rise to the top. These women and the generations that will follow them constitute the soul of America. They are, in fact, the keepers of our country's soul and conscience, and they inspire us all to rise to our very best, as they have done."

Proceeds from the dinner will help establish the first-ever Women in Ministry Center on an HBCU campus, reflecting the objectives of Women on the World Stage, "leadership development for enhancing, empowering, equipping, and advancing women."

The event invites reporters to attend.

Utilizing this framework, communities can ensure access to free and low-cost computers for residents impacted by the digital divide.

NORTH CONWAY, N.H. - November 28, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Digitunity, a national nonprofit organization with over 40 years of experience in advancing digital equity through device ownership, has released new guidance for communities to ensure a sustainable supply of free or low-cost computers is available for residents in need.

To thrive in the modern economy, everyone needs a connected computer. Device ownership is the heart of digital equity. It unlocks the vast opportunities provided by the internet, including education, employment, healthcare, commerce, communication, and civic engagement.

Digitunity's guidance, entitled "Methodology for a Sustainable Device Ecosystem," describes the conditions communities must have in place to ensure marginalized residents have the ability to obtain a computer. They will release and discuss this guidance in a webinar at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 7. You can register for the webinar here.

The need is widespread. According to Digitunity's analysis of recent U.S. Census data, 36 million people in America do not own a computer. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act commits $65 billion toward eliminating the deep, persistent digital divide continuing to plague the U.S.

This investment gives states and communities the opportunity to expand broadband infrastructure, connect disconnected residents, provide digital literacy training, and get free or low-cost computers to people who need them. As plans come together for expending these funds, devices cannot be an afterthought.

"By releasing this framework, we hope to demonstrate to states, municipalities, coalitions, and community groups that by working collaboratively, it is within our reach to develop a lasting solution that makes it possible for residents in need to obtain affordable computers," said Scot Henley, Executive Director of Digitunity.

The guidance maps out several conditions communities must establish so residents have access to a reliable, robust supply of computers, along with connectivity, training, and additional support. It also describes specific considerations related to the devices themselves including how they are prepared, what their intended use might be, and how they can reach those most in need.

"Using this federal investment to simply purchase computers would be a short-sighted answer and not the best use of this opportunity," said Henley. "Now is the time for the corporate sector, government, philanthropy, and nonprofit organizations to collaborate with communities on establishing new systems that can give residents access to devices, both today and in the future."

Through this guidance and additional publications to be released, Digitunity intends to leverage its unique body of work and independent, national lens to inform the field and provide communities with novel ideas about how to eliminate the digital divide. Digitunity is available to advise states, municipalities, and coalitions on program design and implementation. Learn more here.

Digitunity connects corporate and individual donors of technology to thousands of partner organizations serving people in need across North America. With a proven body of work and a national network of member organizations, Digitunity works to ensure all barriers limiting equitable opportunity to participate in our digitally-connected society are removed.

These cute and cuddly toys are designed to stimulate the imagination and safely promote developmental skills.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - November 25, 2022 - (Newswire.com)

Lambs & Ivy, purveyor of high-quality, fashionable nursery bedding, room décor and other products for babies, is pleased to announce the arrival of a new line of developmental plush toys. 

While these toys may be cuddly, they are also designed to provide children with stimulating playtime. These sweet, plush toys are bundled as gift sets and make fabulous newborn baby gifts that are destined to be the stars of baby showers everywhere. 

All of the toys that comprise these baby gifts have embroidered features - so there are no loose parts that could create a hazard for little ones. Children can use their fine motor skills to move the toys in and out of different openings and put their imagination to work as they play with our adorable plush gift sets. A great example of our interactive baby toys is our soft interactive books that let your child experience different textures and have multiple features like a teether and a rattle.

As Lambs & Ivy Co-Founder Barbara Laiken says, "These new baby gift baskets have many of the same nursery themes as the blankets, room decor, and other items we provide. This enables parents to create a consistent look and feel for their baby's room, which promotes a soothing setting for babies that moms and dads will appreciate."

Laiken suggests these educational sets make wonderful welcome-home baby gifts, especially when paired with items for the nursery. For example, blankets and crib bedding partnered with baby gift baskets provide the parents-to-be with gifts that are functional as well as adorable. The interactive gift sets also make ideal presents for toddler birthdays. 

In addition to offering the best baby gifts, the company sells a variety of other nursery items, including:

• Baby Bedding Sets
• Crib Sheets
• Blankets & Quilts
• Nap Mats
• Musical Baby Mobiles

The company has continued to innovate and create breathtaking products for nurseries while providing top-notch customer service. Lambs & Ivy supports local communities by donating blankets and supplies to shelters. They've also contributed to major causes, including the March of Dimes and Save the Elephants. Lambs & Ivy plans to continue its mission to combine old-fashioned workmanship, modern designs, attention to detail, and excellent service.
