Toledo: a tech town? Brandy Alexander - Activate Innovate Organizer | CEO, TandemTide Marketing Michael Saleh - Technology Advisor & Consultant, JumpStart Inc. The gameplan for Toledo's Uptown was set. There would be a technology incubator going into the newly refurbished Jefferson Center. The jobs and the production coming out of the center would revolutionize Toledo's identity and future forecast. BITWISE was looking to branch out and bring its tech savvy into underserved communities and give individuals a hand up instead of a handout. However, it wasn't to be - at least in that form - BITWISE would go belly up in a financial scandal that rocked the worlds of nearly 20 local employees who believed in the message and the mission. Still, there is a newly renovated historic building in Toledo's Uptown district, and there are individuals with passion and purpose who still see the possibility that Toledo could still be a tech town and an innovation hub. In fact, coming up Thursday, June 13, Toledo will play host to the Activate - Innovate Conference. The list of speakers, influencers, and local leaders is impressive.

Bitwise industries, a tech and commercial real estate company, was set to open their Toledo campus at the newly-renovated Jefferson Center this summer. According to multiple media reports, the company announced it is furloughing hundreds of employees and the prospect of Bitwise expanding into Toledo now seems unlikely.

Morrison often used Ohio as a setting for her novels, from examining the influences and disparities of White and Black families living in post-Depression era Lorain in The Bluest Eye to exploring the insidious reach of slavery over the Ohio River in Beloved. Toni Morrison's writing shed the white gaze and centered stories that explored the terrors, hopes, and dreams of Black lives and communities.  Hanif Abdurraqib - a 2021 MacArthur Genius' Grant Recipient - is a poet, essayist, and cultural critic from Columbus, Ohio. His poetry has been published in Muzzle, Vinyl, PEN American, and various other journals. His essays and music criticism have been published in The FADER, Pitchfork, The New Yorker, and The New York Times. He is the author of the poetry collections The Crown Ain't Worth Much, a finalist for the Eric Hoffer Book Prize, and A Fortune For Your Disaster, which won the 2020 Lenore Marshall Prize, and the essay collections They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us, named a best book of the year by Buzzfeed, Esquire, NPR, Oprah Magazine, Paste, CBC, The Los Angeles Review, Pitchfork, and The Chicago Tribune, among others; Go Ahead In The Rain: Notes To A Tribe Called Quest, a New York Times Bestseller, a finalist for the Kirkus Prize, and longlisted for the National Book Award; and A Little Devil In America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance, which was shortlisted for the National Book Award. He is a graduate of Beechcroft High School. Dionne Custer Edwards is a writer, educator, and the Director of Learning & Public Practice at the Wexner Center for the Arts. Her work in the arts and education spans 25 years, including nearly two decades at the Wex where she pioneered several groundbreaking education programs that include Pages, an art and writing program serving hundreds of high school students a year from across central Ohio. Dionne has received acknowledgments and awards that include professional fellowships with Americans for the Arts, the Jefferson Center for the Arts, and a GCAC Arts Educator of the Year. Dionne is co-editor of a forthcoming book series by Ohio State University Press, On Possibility: Social Change and the Arts + Humanities, with the first issue due out in 2023.

Integrated care isn’t a new concept. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, integrated care helps patients and providers by incorporating the multidisciplinary expertise of professionals together in treatment planning and provision, alongside feedback from patients and caregivers. The promise of integrated care is that by treating physical health, behavioral health, and substance use issues in a holistic way, the health care system can improve access to care, improve patient outcomes, and address health care costs.1 However, the on-the-ground actualization of truly, meaningfully integrated medical and behavioral health care is far from perfect. The health care system still has challenges to address, barriers to break down, and wide-scale best practices to implement, in order to make the promise of integrated care a reality for all patients. In this interview, hear from Dr. John Talbot, as he shares insights on: • The history of integrated care and its importance to behavioral health • The challenges that it hopes to solve for patients with complex needs • Models and strategies for integrating physical and behavioral health care, and • How the health care field is attempting to address integration barriers between systems and clinicians John Talbot, Ph.D., is the Vice President of Corporate Strategy and Former Vice President of Integration Development at Jefferson Center for Mental Health in Denver, Colorado.

Guest: Dr. Heather Trish, Manager for Trauma Suicide Prevention and Veteran and Military Services of the Jefferson Center for Mental Health in Lakewood The overwhelming focus of mental health and suicide is placed upon prevention and rightly so. However, at the same time, should greater attention also be focused upon those left behind who must cope and struggle with the loss of a loved one. “Suicide survivors,” as they are termed, are those left behind who must manage how to heal, how to cope and how to grieve. https://www.jcmh.org/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
