For 41 years, Santa Clara Soroptimists (SISCSV) have been turning the tables on the annual Christmas consumer free-for-all by giving away merchandise at their Christmas Store instead of selling it. This tradition helps families at or below the poverty line have a happier holiday and a more comfortable new year. The Soroptimists stock the store using contributions and funds raised by the service club’s annual Classy Bag Affaire, as well as some donations from individuals. For more news visit svvoice.

Pesaro: Le api come "centraline ambientali", nasce il progetto "Diamo valore al territorio"

Pesaro: Le api come "centraline ambientali", nasce il progetto "Diamo valore al territorio". Si chiama "Diamo valore al territorio: rete di biomonitoraggio ambientale mediante le api" il progetto che coinvolge Comune di Pesaro, Provincia di Pesaro e Urbino, Arpa Marche, Centro Ricerche Floristiche Marche, Soroptimist International Club di Pesaro, IIS "A. Cecchi" di Pesaro e IIS "Fermi Sacconi Ceci" di Ascoli Piceno. Realtà protagoniste della firma del Protocollo d'intesa nato per «Dare vita a un'iniziativa che - ha sottolineato Maria Rosa Conti assessora alla Sostenibilità - si avvale delle api come indicatori ambientali. L'obiettivo è creare una rete di monitoraggio composta da diverse arnie dislocate nel territorio regionale per farne delle "centraline ambientali"». Di particolare importanza sarà il ruolo del Parco Miralfiore e della sua area naturalistica "Brilli-Cattarini", progettata per favorire la conservazione della biodiversità, che "presterà" due delle arnie già presenti, per le rilevazioni che farà Arpam sostenendo, «il lavoro del Comune, da sempre in prima linea per promuovere eventi e attività di educazione ambientale, tutela della salute e protezione sociale. Linee guida che rivolgono lo sguardo all'Agenda2030 e che hanno, in Pesaro2024, una nuova spinta propulsiva» ha aggiunto Conti. Nel progetto anche la Provincia di Pesaro e Urbino, coordinatrice della rete di rilevamento della qualità dell'aria e del biomonitoraggio dei principali inquinanti aerodispersi nel territorio tramite il Centro Ricerche Floristiche Marche (anche sede del Centro di Educazione Ambientale). La struttura di via Barsanti ospita, tra l'altro, un'area di 4500 mq con un orto botanico con arbusti ed erbe rare o in via di estinzione, «Un ambiente ideale, ricco di piante produttrici di nettare, per l'iniziativa - aggiunge Sandro di Massimo, del Centro -. Già dal 2021 collaboriamo al progetto di Soroptimist che ha collocato due arnie "alternative", prive di telai, utili al biomonitoraggio programmato dall'associazione». Il Soroptimist International Club di Pesaro, «ha infatti già dato vita al progetto di tutela della biodiversità "Oasi delle api - Saving bees" – ha spiegato Maria Vera Morichi, presidente - voluto per celebrare il centenario dell'associazione. Il progetto, consente di mettere in atto le nostre tre mission: promuovere la tutela della biodiversità; sensibilizzare e creare maggiore consapevolezza ambientale; spingere sull'enpowerment femminile coinvolgendo le donne nella ricerca e nella divulgazione dei dati. Sarà un "best practice" che potremmo ampliare a livello nazionale». Presente alla firma Rossana Cintoli, direttore generale Arpa Marche, agenzia chiamata a svolgere le attività tecnico-scientifiche per la prevenzione, controllo e vigilanza in materia di igiene, salvaguardia dell'ambiente e di verifica della salubrità degli ambienti di vita, tramite analisi di laboratorio per la ricerca di sostanze chimiche aerodisperse. Il Protocollo prevede eseguirà analisi chimico-biologiche per verificare l'eventuale presenza di residui di sostanze inquinanti (agrofarmaci, metalli pesanti, idrocarburi policiclici aromatici, radionuclidi, diossina, bifenili policlorurati, polveri sottili, ecc.) e l'analisi melissopalinologica (riconoscimento dei pollini) per identificare le specie vegetali di interesse apistico presenti. Arpam metterà poi a disposizione i dati ottenuti. «"Diamo valore al territorio" aggiungerà un tassello al monitoraggio ambientale che quotidianamente svolgiamo attraverso una metodologia nuova, che tiene conto delle api (particolarmente efficaci nell'indicare l'evoluzione) e del miele, come indicatori della qualità ambientale» precisa Cintoli. A far parte della rete siglata dal Protocollo anche due istituti scolastici della regione da sempre attivi nella tutela dell'ambiente. C'è l'IIS "A. Cecchi", immerso nel San Bartolo, che ha collocato, all'interno dell'azienda agricola dell'istituto, due alveari e che ha previsto, nell'offerta formativa scolastica, oltre alle attività didattiche e di gestione dell'azienda agricola e del verde storico, un corso di apicoltura, «Il nostro apiario è attivo e funzionante ed è molto importante per i ragazzi e i docenti far parte di quest'iniziativa - dice Chiara Fiorucci, vicepreside – che ben si inserisce nelle attività scolastiche e che permetterà agli studenti di "agire" e toccare con mano l'importanza della conoscenza, delle nozioni e delle competenze acquisite». Presente anche l'IIS "Fermi Sacconi Ceci" che nel 2021 ha avviato dal 2021 il progetto scolastico "Apiamoci" e che sta eseguendo un monitoraggio ambientale di Ascoli Piceno attraverso «un'arnia tecnologica posizionata all'esterno dell'istituto. L'iniziativa è stata finanziata dalla Regione Marche e coinvolge il dipartimento di Informatica per la gestione dei dati e il dipartimento di Chimica per le analisi sul miele e sul polline e che orienta tutte le attività legate alla divulgazione e alla gestione dell'alveare nell'ottica dell'inclusione» ha spiegato Lucia Vagnoni, dirigente scolastico.... #notizie #news #breakingnews #cronaca #politica #eventi #sport #moda Read the full article

How to Find Group Support in Canberra

Support groups bring together people facing similar challenges to share experiences and advice. They shouldn’t replace medical care, but can make you feel less isolated.

Across reviews, peer support has been found to improve outcomes related to personal recovery, but not clinical symptoms. Find group support Canberra that suits your needs.

Groups for Carers

Being a caregiver can be overwhelming, especially without the right support system. Caregiver support groups are a great way to find strength and encouragement from others who can relate to your situation. They can help reduce feelings of isolation, and they also provide valuable tips on managing your loved one’s condition.

Caregivers can choose from general caregiver support groups or those that are specific to the person they are caring for. For example, there are groups for caregivers of people with body image issues or eating disorders and those who have family members who have Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Age-specific caregiver support groups help people who are caring for individuals of a particular age group, like children, adults or seniors. These groups offer a safe space to share advice, experiences and emotional support with others who have similar caregiving challenges. This can help to avoid caregiver burnout, which is a state of physical and mental exhaustion that results from chronic stress over time.

Groups for Mental Health

A support group is made up of people who share a common experience or situation, such as mental health problems. They often meet in person, on the telephone or online and may be led by a lay person (such as a friend, family member or neighbour), or a professional facilitator such as a nurse, social worker or psychologist.

Typically, members of a support group listen to each other's stories and share their own experiences. Hearing from others who are facing similar challenges can help reduce feelings of isolation, provide inspiration and hope and give people ideas for coping with their problems.

There are many community services and support groups available in Canberra. OneLink is an information and connection service which can help with finding a group. You can also contact Lifeline on 131 114, Beyond Blue on 1800 18 SANE (1800 22 74 63) or QLife on 1800 003 333. You can also try checking your local library or community centre message boards for flyers on community groups.

Groups for Lung Disease

Many people who have Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) struggle to get out and about. Their symptoms can be difficult to understand and they find themselves isolated in a community that often is unsupportive.

According to Lung Foundation Australia, around one in 13 Australians over 40 have mild to moderate COPD that is already impacting their daily lives and half are not even aware of it. This is because the damage to our lungs happens slowly over time and can only be diagnosed with a chest X-ray at a hospital, once a person’s lung function has deteriorated.

Fortunately, there are groups that help people with COPD to connect and to share information and support. The Canberra Lung Life Group, for example, has been running for 29 years. The group organises monthly social catch ups and a newsletter. It also provides the Lungs in Action program which is a community based maintenance exercise class for people with COPD. Local government funding pays for the hiring of community halls and some contribution towards the cost of an instructor.

Groups for Women

Women’s empowerment groups focus on providing resources and support to help women achieve their goals. They are often volunteer-run and are a good option for those who want to connect with other women in their community. Some of these groups also host events, fundraisers and community outreach programs to raise awareness.

For example, Soroptimist is a global organization that empowers women to reach their educational goals. Their Live Your Dream Award program gives women financial support to offset the costs of higher education. In addition, Lean In Circles brings together women to provide peer mentorship and career advice.

Grow runs a number of support groups in Canberra for individuals with mental health issues. These groups are confidential, free and meet in three locations. They also offer teletherapy options. They also offer systemic advocacy, self-advocacy and disability awareness training to people with disabilities. You can check out their website for more information. You can also call them to see if they have a group near you.
