Temple Harrisburg team members, Phebe West and Morisa Classe were proud to participate in Harrisburg High School SciTech Campus’s Mental Health Awareness Fair!

Throughout the day, they connected with approximately 500 students, sharing reproductive health education, STI and pregnancy prevention resources, and information from our partners at Hamilton Health Center.

This outreach is part of the Personal Responsibility Education Program (PREP), funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Health, which provides evidence-based education on HIV/AIDS, STI and pregnancy prevention, healthy relationships, puberty and essential life skills.

Thank you to our wonderful team members for attending this event.

Donna Creager, from Temple Harrisburg, attended the 30th Annual Virginia Coalition for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (VCPEA) Conference in Virginia Beach as a keynote speaker for this year’s theme, “Celebrating Elders and Those that Serve Them.”

She presented “The Weight We Carry. The Work We Love,” focusing on the dedication and resilience of professionals serving older adults, as well as “Overlooked and Undertreated: Understanding Older Adult Substance Use Disorder,” highlighting the importance of addressing substance use in aging populations.

It was an inspiring conference bringing together passionate professionals committed to protecting, respecting, and supporting older adults.

The Institute on Protective Services has been busy training the next group of protective services workers.

We are inspired by this dedicated group of investigators getting ready to support and protect adults and older adults across Pennsylvania.

"Owls on the Hill" is an annual advocacy day where 33 Temple University students travel to the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg. Participants meet with state legislators to lobby for increased funding and support for higher education. Staff from Temple University College Continuing Education Unit and the Master of Public Policy Program joined the students in the Capitol Rotunda to share information about our programs. Stella, our live owl mascot, and Ho**er, our mascot, made appearances. This event highlights the university's commitment to accessible education.
