11. Keep Kids Safe: Smartphone & Tablet Recycling Drive
The Sexual Assault Center of Family Services
|
The Sexual Assault Center of Family Services is inviting parents, caregivers and other community members to drop off their old smartphones and tablets, Feb. 23-24 to have them recycled for free.
The event is aimed at preventing children and teens from gaining unsupervised access to the internet and is being held in conjunction with the center’s Give BIG Green Bay campaign. Many of the old devices in our junk drawers can still connect to Wi-Fi. With that, kids and teens can use them to gain unsupervised access to social media and messaging apps. This can put them at risk of predators online.
“My hope is that this drive will raise awareness of a simple step parents can take to further ensure their child’s safety,” said Tana Koss, Vice President of programming at Family Services.
Koss says the idea for the drive came in part from the Sexual Assault Center staff and their work with victims of online abuse, harassment and human trafficking. But also, from her own experience as a parent whose child was found to be using an unmonitored device to access the internet.
Holli Fisher, who manages the Sexual Assault Center, says awareness of the issue is key.
“Parents and caregivers play a critical role in protecting kids online. As soon as a child starts using a phone, mobile device or computer, it’s time to talk to them about online behavior and safety.”
Those wishing to drop off their old devices can place them in the collection box in the lobby of Family Services at 300 Crooks St, Green Bay, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 23 and Feb. 24. Accepted devices include iPods, smartphones, tablets and handheld gaming devices. Laptops or larger will not be accepted. Additional drop-off sites include Ashwaubenon Public Safety, Brown County Sheriff’s Office and the Pulaski Police Department.
The Sexual Assault Center of Family Services is one of 45 nonprofits selected to participate in Give BIG Green Bay. Those who wish to support their cause and others are encouraged to go online and make a donation from noon to noon, Feb. 23-24 at www.givebiggreenbay.org.

16. Now Available - The Brown County Dementia Resource Guide
Brown County Dementia Friendly Community Coalition
|
The Brown County Dementia Friendly Community Coalition, with the financial support of the Forget Me Not Fund, has created a Dementia Resource Guide for people with dementia, caregivers, professionals, and the community to use when a diagnosis of dementia is given. The Dementia Friendly Community Coalition works to raise awareness, develop cooperative partnerships, educate, and engage all to create a dementia friendly community that enhances the quality of life. We believe that by transforming the community, we promote inclusion, reduce stigma, and instill hope.
Inside the guide, you will learn where you can find resources regarding advance directives, importance of support systems, respite and in-home support, medication and treatment options, education about dementia, safety in the home, avoiding and responding to a crisis, funding and financial assistance, and end of life. This Dementia Resource Guide will not list all possible resources available, nor is it intended to replace a conversation with ADRC about your options, but it is a great place to start.
You will find local and national resources within the guide and the guide can be found at ADRC as well as medical provider offices, assisted living facilities, nursing homes, and more. You can also find the guide online:
