Rural Reimagined would like to recognize Dr. Erica Bower (Sociology & Political Science), Dr. Rene Grimes (Curriculum &Instruction), Dr. Elizabeth Ramsey (Human Ecology), Dr. Steven Seiler (Sociology & Political Science), and their community collaborators for receiving Level 3 funding ($10,000-$25,000) from our Faculty Grant Program. Dr. Bower’s team proposed their project titled “Uniting, Empowering, and Engaging our Upper Cumberland Community to Reduce Mental Health Issues and Substance Misuse: Community-Based Training in Mental Health First Aid & Adverse Childhood Experiences,” which aims to educate Upper Cumberland community members about “the impact of adverse childhood experiences, identification of mental health issues and substance misuse, and actionable steps” to help struggling individuals by conducting at least 24 necessary training courses before June. We congratulate Dr. Bower’s team and encourage other faculty members to submit their ideas in the future!
