SUMMARY:Discussions on Diversity and the (Added) Mental Health Impact of COVID
DESCRIPTION:This conversation has been postponed until Fall 2021\n  \nAs a country we strive for diversity\, equity\, and inclusion\, yet disparities and discrimination continue to be experienced by many and remain at the top of the news cycle. \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has coincided with an increase in hate crimes among Asian Americans\, rising race relation conflict\, and brought isolation to members of the LGBTQ community. \nPlease join us for a conversation with community leaders moderated by Rabbi Robin Nafshi (Bios below) to explore how we can encourage acceptance and understand. \n  \nThis event is free\, but registration is required \n  \nRabbi Robin Nafshi: Ordained by Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 2005\, Robin has been the Rabbi at Temple Beth Jacob since July of 2010. Before that\, she served at two synagogues in New Jersey. She also worked as a Hospice Chaplain for a VNA and as the Community Chaplain for a Jewish Healing Center. Currently\, Rabbi Robin is on the Riverbend Board of Directors serving on the Development Committee and The Educated Community Work Group. \nShana Aisenberg: Shana plays various stringed instruments\, specializing in styles from American roots to Eastern-European Klezmer. She performs with Beverly Woods (String Equinox)\, has recorded albums\, written music instruction books\, and teaches music lessons online\, and at workshops and festivals nationwide. Shana is Music Director at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Eastern Slopes in Tamworth NH. \nDeborah Opramolla: Deborah is a court appointed Educational Surrogate Parent who assures that children in foster care experiencing a disability have an appropriate Individual Education Plan. She is a former oncologist who studied medicine at the University of Colorado at Denver. She is also the Co-Chair of the New Hampshire Poor People’s Campaign. \nGrace Kindeke: Grace is the Program Coordinator of the American Friends Service Committee’s New Hampshire program. She is an artist\, activist\, community organizer and a B.A. student of Africana Studies and Sociology at UMASS Boston. She was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and immigrated to the U.S. as a toddler. \n\n\n\nVictoria Chen: Victoria is currently a senior in high school at St. Paul’s School\, where she also lives as a faculty child. She moved from Maryland to Concord five years ago for her 8th grade year\, which she spent at Shaker Road School\, before attending SPS. Although the drastic difference between New Hampshire and Maryland took a while for her to get used to\, Victoria has developed an affection for New Hampshire\, despite some of its flaws. One of her favorite parts of living in Concord is the consistently short line at the local Chipotle. In addition to writing the occasional Letter to the Editor\, she also dances ballet and enjoys studying the Humanities. Victoria is also the daughter of two Chinese immigrants.

SUMMARY:RAISING THE BAR: Mental Health Advocacy in the N.H. Legal System
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, states have required law students to answer questions about their mental health treatment before they can practice law. However\, a wave of support has been building to remove questions about mental health from what’s known as the character and fitness reviews of bar applicants. \nIn this discussion\, we will hear from Sofia Hyatt and Victoria Saxe\, two 3L UNH Law School students who successfully advocated to eliminate the mental health questions on the character and fitness portion of the NH Bar Exam. \nIn our conversation\, we will explore their advocacy efforts and the impact these discriminatory questions have on applicants and the diversity of the legal profession. \nThe panel will be moderated by New Futures’ CEO and President\, Michele Merritt and will also feature John Broderick\, Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s Sr. Director of External Affairs\, former Chief Justice of the NH Supreme Court\, and outspoken mental health advocate. \nThis event is FREE\, but registration is required.\nRegister Now
