New Blog for Baby Boomers

By on April 2, 2013 in OTHER resources, Resources

Michael Winerip, blog authorThe New York Times started a blog called “Booming: Living through the Middle Ages,” focused on lifestyle of the baby boomer generation. The author, Michael Winerip (pictured, left) feels that he is well-qualified to start this blog: he was born in 1951, and has four children, aged 18 to 24 years old–much like many others in his generation. Baby boomers will be able to use the blog to find entertainment destinations, read literary essays, learn about new songs that they might like, and even ask for advice.  The author says that this blog will be very personal, pulling much material from his own life and experience as a baby boomer.

“About Booming: Booming is a section about baby boomers — the 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964. Besides news and information useful to this generation, you’ll find essays by boomers and by their children. You’ll find debates about books, new music to embrace and some secrets to enduring love. The wide-ranging conversation will be led by Michael Winerip, who has covered education, parenting, politics and his fellow boomers. You can reach us by sending an e-mail to booming@nytimes.com.”

Trauma Stewardship: An Everyday Guide to Caring for Self While Caring for Others

By on January 14, 2013 in OTHER resources

Hi all!

My name is Carley Flanery and I am a new intern from the University of Michigan working with Brenda Carney and Rachel Jacobsen. “Trauma Stewardship” is the book that I recommended during our professional development training on Suicide Risk Assessment. The following information is from the “Trauma Stewardship” website:

Inside the BookTrauma Stewardship

From the Introduction

The essayist E. B. White once wrote that the early American author, naturalist, and philosopher Henry Thoreau appeared to have been “torn by two powerful and opposing drives—the desire to enjoy the world, and the urge to set the world straight.”

This book is written for anyone who is doing work with an intention to make the world more sustainable and hopeful—all in all, a better place—and who, through this work, is exposed to the hardship, pain, crisis, trauma, or suffering of other living beings or the planet itself. It is for those who notice that they are not the same people they once were, or are being told by their families, friends, colleagues, or pets that something is different about them.

This book is a navigational tool for remembering that we have options at every step of our lives. We choose our own path. We can make a difference without suffering; we can do meaningful work in a way that works for us and for those we serve. We can enjoy the world and set it straight. We can leave a legacy that embodies our deepest wisdom and greatest gifts instead of one that is burdened with our struggles and despair.

*The book can also be purchased from sites like Amazon or Barnes & Noble.
