Work/house
Get PDFWork/house is a hybrid creative-research project that explores the narratives of Irish workhouse pauper inmates during the Great Famine. The project takes on multiple forms: a chapbook printed by Salem State University, a longer manuscript draft, and a digital story told through the coding platform Twine. Research on Irish workhouses was conducted independently after partaking in a free, audio-visual tour of the former Kilkenny Union Workhouse site in July 2022, the writing happening in conjunction with research. The sixteen poems included in the chapbook (and the roughly forty poems in the manuscript, still a work-in-progress) incorporate Irish poetic forms, Irish mythology, and real narratives of pauper inmates who resided in the South Dublin and Kilkenny Union Workhouses. These inmates include Eliza Dalton, a young woman who arrived in the South Dublin workhouse at age nine, and incited uprisings with other workhouse girls; Jane Kane, who drifted in and out of that same South Dublin workhouse while working at her mother’s brothel; Thomas Kelly, a deaf and blind inmate living in the Kilkenny Union workhouse, whose death circumstances were extensively investigated by workhouse Guardians; and James Heam, who, at fourteen, appealed his unjust corporeal punishment. Other phenomena typical of the time – contraction of venereal diseases, infanticide, poverty and starvation – are referenced throughout the poems. Artistic license (such as the blurring of timelines) has been taken in the creation of themes such as hunger, reclamation of femininity and humanity in oppressive social structures, bodily autonomy, complex relationships to/with land and language, motherhood, and female friendship.EnglishSecondary and Higher Educatio

The impact of Educational outlets for recovery patients: Incorporating positive outlooks
No full textWorking with patients in recovery allows the formation of education and ways to help others. By incorporating positive activities such as reading, people are given a chance to find serenity and peace whilst working on their recovery. Reading allows the patient to practice mindfulness while expanding their education and developing new, positive habits. My time at the Recovery Centers of America opened my eyes to the possibility of recovery, encouragement, bravery and success among these patients. As simple as it may be, reading is therapeutic and provides an opportunity to disconnect from reality while remaining sober. I believe my book donation has improved the opportunity for a continued focus on recovery
Wheelchair Postural Training: Benefits of Exercise for Patients with Traumatic Brain Injuries
Get PDFTraumatic brain injuries have a major effect on your physical and mental health, with damage to the brain leading to long term complications. Supportive Living created the Neuro-Fitness Wellness Program for patients with traumatic brain injuries. Exercise plans are created to accommodate each participant based on their needs and goals. Participants that were in a wheelchair were able to work on postural training. Posture is important because it affects the neck, shoulders, and back. Specific exercises programs were developed and implemented to work on posture. Over the course of twelve weeks, there was a dramatic change in the participants' strength and confidence, leading to better physical and mental health
