SUMMARY:Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides
DESCRIPTION:We live in enormously divisive times. Divisions based on ​​class\, politics\, race\, religion\, gender\, and nationality are erupting around the globe. The consequences of not having a sense of belonging range from political strife to illness to underperformance at work and in the classroom. Americans have become disconnected from their communities\, and about one in five Americans suffers from chronic loneliness\, especially young adults. Why is our sense of belonging so undermined? What if there were a set of science-backed techniques for navigating modern social life that could help us overcome our differences\, create empathy\, and forge lasting connections across divides? \nGeoffrey L. Cohen\, Ph.D. (FAN ’22)\, Professor of Psychology and the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business at Stanford University\, answers these questions and more in his extraordinary 2022 book Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides. As Prof. Cohen explains\, often inadvertently\, we behave in ways that threaten others’ sense of belonging. Yet small acts that establish connection\, brief activities such as reflecting on our core values\, and a wealth of practices that he refers to under the general rubric of “situation-crafting” have been shown to lessen polarization in our politics\, improve motivation and performance in school and work\, combat racism in our communities\, enhance health and well-being\, and unleash the potential in ourselves and our relationships. The book’s research is essential for managers\, educators\, parents\, administrators\, caregivers\, and everyone who wants those around them to thrive. \nProf. Cohen will be in conversation with LeViis Haney\, Ed.D.\, the Director of Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion at Adlai E. Stevenson High School. Dr. Haney also teaches principal preparation courses as an adjunct professor at Northeastern Illinois University and Loyola University Chicago\, and is a facilitator for the Kaleidoscope Group\, a DEI firm based in Chicago. \nThis event is suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded but not live streamed and will be available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.

SUMMARY:Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child
DESCRIPTION:According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, a baby is born with a birth defect every 4½ minutes. One of those children was Kelley Coleman’s son\, born with a rare (and still undiagnosed) genetic syndrome. Feeling equal parts terrified and alone\, she soon learned that no one tells parents how to do any of this. In her new book\, Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential System\, Services\, and Supports\, Coleman\, a feature film development executive turned author and passionate advocate for parent caregivers and individuals with disabilities\, turns her hard-earned expertise into the much needed “You Are Here” on the map of this unexpected journey. \nPresented with empathy and humor\, the book gives parents the tools to navigate the complex medical\, educational\, and social service systems necessary for disabled children to thrive. This is “been there\, tried that” insider information about diagnosis\, working with your medical team\, insurance\, school\, financial and future planning\, disability rights\, and advocacy. \nColeman will be in conversation with Lindsay Crain\, head of Content and Community at Undivided\, an organization with a mission to support and empower parents raising children with disabilities. As the parent of a teenager with cerebral palsy\, Crain is driven to build and reinforce systems and practices that create a more inclusive culture. She is currently serving as a Community Representative on the CA State Interagency Coordinating Council on Early Intervention. \nThis event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel. \nBONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child from FAN’s partner bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Ms. Coleman that will start immediately after the webinar.

SUMMARY:Jason Bishop
DESCRIPTION:America’s Hottest Illusionist is coming to Gorton!

In a world that seems devoid of innocents and wonder\, we could all use a little magic and Jason Bishop is sure to enchant.” – Suzanna Bowling\, Times Square Chronicles \n  \n
