Project Connect-Kent State University
|
|
Kent State is conducting a nationwide study through Kent State University and Arizona State University to improve the health and well-being of families where grandmothers are raising ADOLESCENT grandchildren in absence of the child's birth parents. Our findings should lead to better services for these families and improve their quality of life. Known as Project CONNECT, this program is funded by the National Institutes of Health (1R01AG054571-01A1) and approved by Internal Review Board of Kent State University.
Project CONNECT is provided online for free to both grandmothers and their grandchildren (ages 12-18). Participation involves the following:
- Completing a survey before the program;
- Watching self-paced videos over a 10-week period;
- Completing a survey after the program;
- Completing follow-up surveys 3, 6, and 9 months following the program;
- Some grandmothers and grandchildren may also be asked to complete daily surveys or a telephone interview.
Incentives for participating: Families will receive a tablet computer, which they can keep afterwards. Grandmothers and grandchildren who finish the study will also receive $150 apiece. Those completing the daily diaries will receive an additional $126, and those completing telephone interviews will receive another $30.

Please do not request tickets if you are not going to use them, as teams penalize us for not using reserved tickets. If you do not use tickets you reserve, we may not be able to honor your ticket requests in the future.
Tickets will be given out one hour before the starting time on game day, and not before. The tickets will be given out at the near the Will Call window across from the Team Shop.
Please do not ask for the tickets at the ticket counter windows.
Instead, if you cannot find me, ask for the representative from Think Computer Foundation. A photo ID is required to pick up tickets. Tickets cannot be resold.
Tickets will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis according to the first responses by e-mail. You will receive an e-mail confirmation that tickets have been reserved for you. Please do not call ahead to inquire about your tickets.

First Christian Church Respite Night

rEcess – Respite Night [Ages 15 and Under]
November 2nd 6p-9p
December 7th 6p-9p
We are BIG believers in providing respite nights to families with children with disabilities (ages 15 and under), so we have partnered with an organization called rEcess! This February we are rolling out something totally new. We are simplifying, but not losing any of the fun, in order to be able to offer respites more often!
If you, or someone you know, have a child with a disability, we want to give you a night off! We will offer a respite night on the first Friday of every month coordinating with a school year calendar. Children with special needs are paired one on one with a friend whose sole objective is to make rEcess the best night of their week. rEcess is also a break for our siblings to have lots of fun and connect with other siblings who understand what it's like to have a brother or sister with special needs. We have dedicated sibling volunteers and programming just for siblings!
In order to offer respite to families, we also need the help of dedicated volunteers. If you have any interest in serving these families by being a buddy to a child with a disability, or their sibling, consider volunteering at rEcess. The experience you receive will compare to nothing else you have ever done and the blessing of a night off to these parents is priceless! No experience is needed. We provide training and a meal to all volunteers!
Here's how to register as a guest or volunteer:
2. Click the blue "Create an account" button and enter your basic information (see below).
3. Once you click "Sign Up," check your email to confirm your account.
4. Log in to your new rEcess account and register for any upcoming event.
