The Incredible Intensity of Just Being Human

By: Kate Vrijmoet,Grace Boey,David Francis,Gayle Clemans

In the art and social change exhibit The Incredible Intensity of Just Being Human, curator and artist Kate Vrijmoet, and artists June Sekiguchi, Holly Ballard Martz, Ezra Dickinson, Ann Teplick, John William Keedy, Valaree Cox, and Lynn Schirmer; with writers David Francis, Gayle Clemans, and Grace Boey shed light on the effect mental illness has on individuals and society.Mental illness inflicts losses on society as a whole, through cultural messages that people who struggle with mental illness are not fit to contribute to the richness and depth of the social fabric.Every year one in four people suffers with mental illness. The cost of depression-related workforce absenteeism, and of lost productivity is $200 billion per year. By talking about mental illness, we reduce the shame surrounding it, creating a space where the prejudices and fears we all have can give way to our compassion and humanity.

The Grace Abbott Reader

By: Grace Abbott

This reader features the most influential and insightful writings of Grace Abbott (1878?1939), a tireless and brilliant social reformer in the early twentieth century. These writings contributed to the development of social programs that safeguarded mothers and children, protected immigrants from abuse, and rescued child laborers from the appalling conditions of the time. Framed by reminiscences and observations on her life by her sister, Edith Abbott, and other important historical figures, these writings recapture a critical turning point?and a significant voice?in the never-ending struggle for social justice in this nation. ø U.S. Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter said he did not believe that ?the American experience would disclose a finer illustration of the rare art of public administration? than Abbott and urged that her work be recorded for posterity. In Abbott's case, this ?art? meant making life better and making real change possible for countless immigrants, women, and children. The Grace Abbott Reader, the first collection of Abbott?s stirring words, shows that the causes she pursued with fiery conscience and fierce determination are as relevant in our day as they were in hers.
