Website Launch: TUCollaborative.org is 'live' and well!
The Temple University Collaborative on Community Inclusion of Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities today announced the formal launch of its new website - http://www.tucollaborative.org - and encouraged users to explore the array of information and resources available there. In the future, visitors to the Collaborative's old website will be redirected to the new site.
The website has been completely redesigned, both to indicate the Collaborative's move from the University of Pennsylvania after seven very productive years and to improve users' access to the Collaborative's research and training products, upcoming conference and workshop opportunities, and staff and faculty resources. Users will be able to quickly identify the Collaborative's past and current research activities, ongoing training and related knowledge development activities, and the growing number of journal articles, monographs, toolkits, and exemplary program descriptions that can be helpful to users seeking to expand their understanding and utilization of community integration principles and practices.
For the first time, the website provides a guide to the Collaborative's 150 resources by topic area, to help users find the information they need more quickly. In addition to an introduction to the core community integration approaches, there are resources focused on employment, education, family relationships, parenting, and up-to-date discussions of peer support, consumer-operated programs, and self-directed care - among a wide array of other topics.
The new website also highlights several new publications from the Collaborative, which have already received a strong positive response from the field:
- Into the Thick of Things - a compendium of community integration initiatives developed by consumer-operated programs across the country;
- Managing Risk - a detailed discussion of the best ways to anticipate and respond to the risks associated with community integration while preserving consumer control.
