Programs
Resilience '08
MRI working with numerous sponsors in Bend
Oregon produced a program presented at The Tower Theater. The event
brought nationally recognized speakers Scott Bedbury and Eric Hipple
to present media and to talk about resilience, depression, and
suicide prevention. Dr. Michael Conner presented on applications of
positive psychology that build resilience, social buoyancy and
greater happiness. The program was recorded and will be replayed on
local radio over the holiday season.
"Know Your Teen"
MRI in collaboration with Combined Communications, Inc. sponsored
the "Know your Teen" campaign. In November and December 2005,
Combined Communications' radio stations ran Ads and editorialized
adolescent mental health issues to promote StepOne for Parents as a
comprehensive resource for parents of youth at risk. The program
supported screening, parent seminars and referral to professional and
community services for Central Oregon.
