Shoreline’s Baseball team collecting Clothes for the Cause – donate now!

February 17, 2016 by Leave a Comment

The Shoreline Community College Baseball team is hosting a clothing and textile drive! We all have clothing that is no longer worn or no longer fits. Instead of discarding surplus clothing and household linens, give your clothes a second life by participating in our textile collection drive.

The Baseball team can accept clothing, shoes in pairs only, towels, stuffed animals, hats, sheets, blankets, quilts, bedspreads, drapes, purses and belts. All items need to be kept dry, so please put them in a plastic bag that is tied tightly. We cannot take: glass, breakables, electronics, pet beds, bed pillows, carpeting, uniforms, hotel linens, or items previously on sale at a thrift store.

Collection will take place in the Shoreline Community College 3000 Building in the Baseball Office 3024-J. Please drop off your items between 2:30pm – 5:00pm on Fridays, February 12th, 19th and the 26th.

If you have any questions please contact Associate Head Coach Rick Teegarden at 206-533-6742 or at rteegarden@shoreline.edu.

Why is donating textiles a good idea? Not only does it help the Baseball team, but it’s eco-friendly too! Check it out:

The GAC Presents: China’s Urbanization and the “Left-behind” Children
PUB 9208, 7-8:30 p.m.
gac
 In China, a new generation of children is growing up in the countryside with only one or no parent around during most of the time of the year. They are called “left-behind children.” Their population has grown to more than 60 million; half of them are between age 6 and 14. They are left behind because their parents have gone to work in the city, often hundreds of miles away from home.  They are part of China’s gargantuan army of migrant workers, estimated at about 170 million in 2014.  These laborers power China’s economic machine and turn it into the “world’s factory’.  While they work in the city, their children often cannot be with them. Lacking day-to-day parental care and close guidance, the “left-behind” children face many problems and many of them get into trouble.  Some develop psychological problems; others fall victims to bullying, physical or sexual abuse, or even serious accidents.

This presentation explains how China’s special, “incomplete” urbanization policy and thehukou (household registration) system function in concert to produce a generation of “left-behind” children and “migrant children,” and their implications.

Join us, together with Kam Wing Chan, Geography Department, University of Washington, discuss about the difficulties the “left-behind children” of China faces. To learn more about our speaker. visit our biographies page.

Reminder! CPR and AED training available for employees, Fri., Feb. 19

February 17, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Would you know what to do in a cardiac or breathing emergency? The right answer could help you save a life. With a mixture of classroom and hands-on learning, Shoreline Fire Department Medics will begin providing a 2-hour course to give you the skills to potentially save a life.

Consider these facts:

    • There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at work
    • Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical system personnel results in only 5-7% survival.
    • Paramedics can take eight to 12 minutes to arrive, but someone suffering sudden cardiac arrest needs help immediately
    • 75% of all out-of-hospital heart attacks happen at home

AEDs in the workplace save lives. An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. A bystander with access to an AED can greatly improve the chance of survival. The college has recently purchased 8 new AED machines, for a total of 12. Learn where they are on campus and how to use them.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 2016 – 1:30-3:30pm, Rm 3002
The course, free to SCC employees, will include a certification card. The training is voluntary, requiring supervisory permission to attend. Classroom size is limited, and your pre-registration is required. Wear comfortable clothing. If a class is full, you will be placed on a wait list for a cancellation or coming class.

To register call or email Darlene Carlson or Robin Blacksmith in Safety & Security :

Darlene – 206-546-4633; Dcarlson@shoreline.edu
Robin – 206-546-4503; Rblacksmith@shoreline.edu

Anxiety isn’t always a bad thing.

The good news – recovery is possible and there are many things you can do to get your anxiety in check and regain control of your life.

Join Counseling Services at our interactive workshop and learn more about how to recognize and manage the signs and symptoms of anxiety for yourself or someone you care about.

Please plan on attending this important training!!  Contact me with questions: Kathy Cook, ext 4544.

Below  is a bio on one of the presenters (please note I attended a two-day workshop Rebecca hosted last year, and it was one of the most informational presentations I have attended in many years!  I left with a great deal of relevant and useful information I have already put to good use!!)

I am a WA Certified Peer Counselor and Army Veteran, with a background in mental health awareness and suicide prevention. I have extensive experience with direct crisis and suicide intervention, and spent several years answering these calls on the crisis hotlines. Now I teach others these skills through a variety of workshops and classes. I live with managed depression and PTSD, faced my own suicide ideation when I was medically discharged, and have lost several close friends to suicide. My life has been uniquely shaped by suicide and mental illness and my goal is to use my personal experiences to help others navigate similar situations. I am now the Suicide Prevention Program Manager for the WA National Guard and continue to volunteer with Veterans in the community. I have an open book, open door policy; I am always happy to share my story and you can always contact me for any reason. If I don’t have the answer you need, I will find someone who does.
