After 25 years, funding recently ended for the Research and
Training Center on Family Support and Children's Mental Health in the School of
Social Work. Join a panel of faculty and supporters as they share memories Thursday,
Nov. 5, at 3 p.m., followed by a reception at 4:30 p.m. Both events are in the Smith
Union Ballroom, third floor. RSVP to Sarah Peterson at spet@pdx.edu.
The panelists are RTC "historians" Karl Dennis, Robert
Friedman, Barbara Friesen, Sybil Goldman, Barbara Huff, Naomi Karp, Judith
Katz-Leavy, Ira Lourie, and Sandra Spencer. Memories of the center have been posted
on the RTC Web site.
Not all is lost. A new center, with a focus on
transition-aged youth, 14 to 30, is starting up with a new grant.
