Heard at the Associate's Dinner:

"We rely on our partners to provide child welfare - that is a community value. We either believe in it or we don't," said David Merriman, director of Cuyahoga County Health and Human Services. "The system is under threat. These dramatic changes are occurring throughout every one of the human service programs that I represent whether it's homeless services, senior services, child support. It goes across the entire network."..
"I believe the future lies in front of us and I think that future is partnership. I believe we're having a positive impact and I hope the Schubert Center proves it. And I hope Case and all of the other aligned partners will be part of the period in which we watch what is occurring right now and we ask is that making a difference? And I think being accountable, are we making a difference? Are we making things better or are we making things possible? Those are going to be the challenges of right now and I know that the Schubert Center will step up and know that we will be partners of theirs and I hope you will be as well."

Looking to support your little one’s growth while connecting with other local families?
This fall, CWRU’s Communication Sciences (COSI) program at the CWRU Department of Psychological Sciences is teaming up with United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) to host a 6-week parent-toddler playgroup on Thursdays at 11635 Euclid beginning in October. Designed for caregivers and their children ages 0-3, this hands-on program combines play, movement, communication, and hands-on learning in a supportive environment led by speech-language, occupational, and physical therapists. You'll leave with practical, everyday techniques to support your child’s speech, language, and motor development in a supportive, play-based environment.

Big news for community health at CWRU 💙

Craig and Michele Bashein have committed $1 million to establish the Craig and Michele Bashein Family Population and Community Health Endowment at Case Western Reserve University, directly supporting the Institute for Population and Community Health and its partners, including the Schubert Center for Child Studies.

The Schubert Center is proud to be recognized alongside the School of Medicine, Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, School of Law, Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences and Weatherhead School of Management in this university-wide effort to advance health and well-being, reduce disparities and develop community-engaged solutions. As Craig Bashein notes, "What the university is doing around community engagement and population health is vitally important - not just for the university, but for Cleveland."

“Children’s developing minds need real human relationships, not simulations.”
That’s the core message of Dr. Dana Suskind’s new book, Human Raised, and of today’s conversation with Lisa Damour, Ph.D., advisor at the Schubert Center for Child Studies, at the The City Club of Cleveland. As AI moves deeper into kids’ lives, from smart toys to learning apps, this forum asks: what should parents embrace, what should they question, and what absolutely must be preserved in childhood?
Catch the discussion via The Sound of Ideas on parenting in the age of AI, and hear why human care, imperfection and presence still matter most at https://tinyurl.com/2x6xnw6x
