EVALUATION OF FUNCTIONAL PERFORMANCE OF PERSONS WITH LIMB DIFFERENCE TO OPTIMIZE PATTERN RECOGNITION CONTROL OF POWERED UPPER LIMB PROSTHESES

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A BIMODAL WALKING-RUNNING PROSTHETIC FOOT - PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT OVER THE COURSE OF THIS TWO-YEAR PHASE II EFFORT, LIBERATING TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (LTI), ALONG WITH ITS COLLABORATORS AT FILLAUER COMPANIES AND HANGER CLINIC, WILL REFINE, EXPAND, AND TEST A BIMODAL WALKING-RUNNING FOOT THAT WOULD THEN BE POISED TO BECOME A VIABLE COMMERCIAL PRODUCT THAT CAN BE REIMBURSED UNDER THE EXISTING L-CODE REIMBURSEMENT STRUCTURE. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CREATE A SINGLE FOOT THAT IS OPTIMIZED IN EACH MODE AND COMPARABLE TO A WALKING FOOT WHEN IN A WALKING MODE AND A RUNNING FOOT WHEN IN RUNNING MODE. THIS NOVEL FOOT WOULD PROVIDE LOWER LIMB AMPUTEES WHO DON’T CURRENTLY HAVE THE ACCESS TO RUNNING FEET DUE TO THE LACK OF INSURANCE COVERAGE, THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN RUNNING AND OTHER RUNNING-BASED ACTIVITIES (E.G. BASKETBALL, ETC.) TO INCREASE PHYSICAL FITNESS. IN DOING SO, THE CAESAR FOOT WOULD ALSO ALLOW FOR THE INCREASED SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AND THE PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS THAT ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE ACTIVITIES. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THIS GOAL, WE WILL PROGRESS AND REFINE THE BIMODAL FOOT TECHNOLOGY WITH THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES: (1) ITERATE AND OPTIMIZE THE DESIGN OF THE BIMODAL FOOT TO ACHIEVE A FULLY FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPE READY FOR TESTING, (2) PERFORM VERIFICATION TESTING TO CONFIRM THE PROTOTYPE MEETS THE DESIGN CRITERIA, (3) VALIDATE THE PROTOTYPE IN A PILOT TAKE-HOME TRIAL AND ASSESS ITS IMPACT ON THE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY OF LOWER LIMB AMPUTEES, AND (4) START PREPARING FOR AN FDA SUBMISSION FOR THE CAESAR FOOT. THE OUTCOMES WILL BE DATA THAT VERIFY AND VALIDATE THE BIMODAL FOOT DEVICE IN THE LABORATORY AND IN THE REAL WORLD. THE PRODUCT WILL BE A HIGHLY ADVANCED, COMMERCIALLY VIABLE, VERIFIED, AND VALIDATED BIMODAL PROSTHETIC FOOT. THIS INNOVATIVE DESIGN ALLOWS US TO ADDRESS BOTH OF THE IDENTIFIED PRIMARY BARRIERS PREVENTING LLAS FROM TAKING PART IN THESE ACTIVITIES: 1) INADEQUATELY DESIGNED PROSTHESES (BY PROVIDING A FOOT WITH OPTIMIZED DESIGN, ALIGNMENT, AND BIOMECHANICS IN BOTH WALKING AND RUNNING MODES) AND 2) THE LACK OF ACCESSIBILITY FOR HIGHER ACTIVITY PROSTHESES (THE COST OF THE FOOT WOULD BE COVERED BY INSURANCE).

MCLA CARES PROJECT, AN INITIATIVE TO BUILD A CAMPUS-WIDE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH - MASSACHUSETTS COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS (MCLA) PROPOSES THE MCLA CARES PROJECT, AN INITIATIVE TO BUILD A CAMPUS-WIDE INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH. THE PROJECT WILL BE COMPREHENSIVE AND CROSS MULTIPLE SECTORS OF CAMPUS LIFE INCLUDING STUDENT LIFE, ACADEMIC AFFAIRS, ATHLETICS, AND HEALTH SERVICES. THROUGHOUT THE LIFETIME OF THIS PROJECT, MCLA PLANS TO ENGAGE 600 STUDENTS AND TRAIN 300 STAFF AND FACULTY. MCLA’S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE AN ACCESSIBLE LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION TO STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY STUDENTS WITH IDENTITIES TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED IN HIGHER EDUCATION. OF THE COLLEGE’S DIVERSE POPULATION, MCLA HAS IDENTIFIED THREE AT-RISK POPULATIONS: FIRST-GENERATION STUDENTS, STUDENTS OF COLOR, AND LGBTQIA+ IDENTIFIED STUDENTS. OF MCLA’S 1,076 UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS, 47% (515 STUDENTS) ARE THE FIRST IN THEIR FAMILIES TO ATTEND COLLEGE. NEARLY A QUARTER, 23.4%, OF MCLA STUDENTS ARE STUDENTS OF COLOR (IN INTERNAL DOCUMENTS, MCLA USES THE GENERAL TERM “MINORITY”). THOUGH THE COLLEGE DOES NOT TRACK THE POPULATION OF LGBTQIA+ STUDENTS, THERE IS A ROBUST CAMPUS COMMUNITY OF SELF-IDENTIFIED STUDENTS AS DEMONSTRATED BY AN LGBTQIA+ SAFE RESIDENCY FLOOR TO OPEN IN FALL 2022, AND AN ACTIVE RAINBOW ALLIANCE. THE THRUST OF MUCH OF THE GRANT’S PROGRAMMING AND ACTIVITIES WILL BE DIRECTED AT COLLABORATING WITH THESE POPULATIONS TO IDENTIFY THEIR SPECIFIC CHALLENGES AND NEEDS. MCLA IS PLANNING A MULTI-PRONGED APPROACH TO ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT DEFICITS ACROSS CAMPUS. ACTIVITIES WILL BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER 2022 BY HIRING A HEALTH PROMOTION COORDINATOR, A NEWLY CREATED POSITION THAT WILL BE THE MAJOR STAFF TO DIRECT THE ACTIVITIES OF THE GRANT. THEIR ROLE WILL INCLUDE PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GRANT’S ACTIVITIES AS WELL AS PRODUCING ADDITIONAL MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS PROGRAMMING. THE FIRST YEAR OF THEIR TIME ON CAMPUS WILL BE SPENT INVESTIGATING THE SPECIFIC NEEDS OF THE CAMPUS THROUGH TWO DATA COLLECTION SURVEYS AND BUILDING A FOUNDATION OF CROSS-SECTOR SUPPORT BY CONVENING AN MCLA TASK FORCE ON STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH, WHICH WILL MEET MONTHLY THROUGHOUT THE DURATION OF THE GRANTING PERIOD. A KEY COMPONENT OF THIS PROJECT IS THE COLLABORATIVE JOURNEY WITH THE JED FOUNDATION (JED), A PRIVATE FOUNDATION COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS IN EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS. JED WILL CONDUCT A REVIEW OF MCLA’S POLICIES, PROCEDURES, PROGRAMMING, AND RESOURCES. FROM THAT REVIEW, MCLA’S TASK FORCE WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE A DETAILED ACTION PLAN TO BOLSTER POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO BETTER SERVE THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF STUDENT POPULATIONS. AS A JED CAMPUS PARTNER, MCLA WILL UTILIZE JED’S COMPREHENSIVE ASSESSMENTS AS AN EXPERT ADVISOR THROUGHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS NEW MENTAL HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE. ADDITIONALLY, GRANT FUNDS WILL CONTRIBUTE SIGNIFICANTLY TO TRAINING THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY, SPECIFICALLY IN SUICIDE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION. GRANT FUNDS WILL PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR MCLA’S HEALTH SERVICES STAFF, INCLUDING ATTENDANCE AT RELEVANT CONFERENCES, AS WELL AS PRIORITIZING TRAINING FOR STUDENT-FACING STAFF AND FACULTY. THIS GOAL ALSO INCLUDES THE EXPANSION OF THE MCLA WELLNESS AMBASSADORS PROGRAM, A GROUP OF TRAINED PEER HEALTH EDUCATORS THAT PROMOTE HOLISTIC WELLNESS.

UNINTRUSIVE PEDIATRIC LOGGING ORTHOTIC ADHERENCE DEVICE: UPLOAD - PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT THE APPLICATION’S BROAD OBJECTIVE IS TO CREATE A PRODUCT THAT IS ABLE TO IMPROVE REMOTE COMPLIANCE MONITORING IN PEDIATRIC ORTHOTICS APPLICATIONS BY CREATING A DEVICE THAT COMBINES ALL OF THE IDEAL COMPLIANCE MONITORING FEATURES INTO A SINGLE DEVICE CALLED THE UNINTRUSIVE PEDIATRIC LOGGING ORTHOSIS ANALYTIC DEVICE (UPLOAD). OUR INITIAL FOCUS IS ON PEDIATRIC ORTHOTIC POPULATIONS DUE TO THE SHORT TREATMENT WINDOW AND DEMONSTRATED CLINICAL EFFICACY IN THESE POPULATIONS. LONGER TERM, WE CAN LEVERAGE THE TECHNICAL BACKBONE AND DATA ECOSYSTEM BEING ADVANCED WITH THIS PROJECT FOR OTHER MONITORING NEEDS (E.G., FALLS IN BOTH PROSTHETICS AND ORTHOTICS, MORE ADVANCED AFO OR PROSTHESIS COMPLIANCE REQUIRING MORE THAN TWO YEARS OF BATTERY LIFE, CRANIAL REMOLDING ORTHOSIS PRESSURE MONITORING, ETC.). THE KEY FOCUS OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF CREATING A COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE DEVICE THAT HAS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING FEATURES: UNINTRUSIVE SIZE, BATTERY LIFE THAT LASTS AT LEAST AS LONG AS THE TIME BETWEEN BRACE REPLACEMENTS, LOW COST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY REAL TIME REMOTE ACCESS TO THE SENSOR DATA IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY ADDITIONAL HARDWARE OR EFFORT FROM THE PARENT/PATIENT AFTER INITIAL SETUP. THE SPECIFIC AIMS OF THE PROJECT ARE TO DEVELOP SPECIFICATIONS, PERFORM TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE UPLOAD SYSTEM, AND THEN PERFORM BENCHTOP VERIFICATION TESTING TO CONFIRM THE FEASIBILITY OF THE MEETING THE IDENTIFIED SPECIFICATIONS. THE RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS FOR ACHIEVING THE STATED OBJECTIVES INCLUDE REQUIREMENTS GATHERING (INCLUDING CONDUCTING AN EXPERT PANEL) AND SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT DEVELOPMENT, PROTOTYPE DESIGN (INCLUDING COMPONENT IDENTIFICATION, PROTOTYPE HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT, POWER BUDGETING AND COMPONENT SELECTION, AND ALTERNATIVE ENERGY HARVESTING), TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT (INCLUDING CUSTOM HARDWARE DESIGN, FIRMWARE DEVELOPMENT, MOBILE APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT WITH CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE, AND CLINICIAN DASHBOARD AND REPORT GENERATION), SENSOR INTEGRATION METHOD DEVELOPMENT, VERIFICATION TESTING (INCLUDING FUNCTIONAL TESTING, BATTERY LIFE CHARACTERIZATION AND PERFORMANCE TESTING), DESIGN REFINEMENT, AND MANAGEMENT AND REPORTING. THIS PROJECT IS RELEVANT TO THE MISSION OF THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH BECAUSE IT APPLIES KNOWLEDGE TO ENHANCE HEALTH AND REDUCE DISABILITIES OF PATIENTS WITH ADOLESCENT IDIOPATHIC SCOLIOSIS (AIS) AND DEFORMATIONAL HEAD SHAPES.

THIS WILL BE ACHIEVED BY DEVELOPING AND VALIDATING THE DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY AI-COA™, A MACHINE LEARNING-BASED DRUG DEVELOPMENT TOOL THAT ANALYZES AUDIOVISUAL RECORDINGS OF CLINICAL INTERVIEWS TO INFER HAM-D AND HAM-A SCORES, AND THROUGH DOING SO ENHANCES THE EFFECTIVE RELIABILITY OF PRIMARY ENDPOINTS. THE SPECIFIC AIMS OF THIS PROJECT WILL REDUCE UNCERTAINTIES AROUND THE DESIGN AND DIMENSIONING OF A PROSPECTIVE CONFIRMATORY TRIAL WHICH WILL BE PROPOSED IN THE QUALIFICATION PLAN (QP) 1) AUGMENT THE PILOT DATASET: ASSESS 96 NEW PARTICIPANTS TO ENHANCE THE REPRESENTATIVENESS OF THE DATASET, TARGETING 80% MALE AND 82% NON-WHITE PARTICIPANTS. RE-ASSESS 30% OF THE NEW SAMPLE AFTER 12 WEEKS TO CONFIRM SENSITIVITY TO CHANGE, AND HAVE EACH RATING RE-RATED BY TWO ADDITIONAL RATERS FOR ENHANCED RELIABILITY. 2) ASSESS OVERALL MODEL PERFORMANCE CHANGE: RE-TRAIN THE AI-COA™ MODEL WITH THE AUGMENTED PILOT DATASET AND EVALUATE THE IMPACT ON PERFORMANCE. ADJUST THE ASSUMED SAMPLE SIZE BASED ON THE UPDATED MODEL'S ICC TO ACHIEVE THE 95% CI AROUND THE EXPECTED ICC IN THE TRIAL. 3) EVALUATE GENERALIZATION ACROSS BIOLOGICAL SEX: A) ASSESS BIOLOGICAL SEX GENERALIZATION USING A NON-LINEAR REGRESSION MODEL WITH FIXED-EFFECTS, B) EXPERIMENT WITH NORMALIZING FEATURES BETWEEN BIOLOGICAL SEXES, AND C) DEVELOP MIXED-EFFECTS MODELS (E.G., MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD ESTIMATION, BAYESIAN HIERARCHICAL MODELS) WITH GENDER NESTING. IF THE MODEL GENERALIZES WELL ACROSS BIOLOGICAL SEXES, LOOSEN BIOLOGICAL SEX SPLIT AND SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE QUALIFICATION PLAN. RELEVANCE TO THE MISSION OF THE AGENCY: THIS PROJECT ADDRESSES THE CRITICAL NEED FOR IMPROVED RELIABILITY AND GENERALIZABILITY IN MOOD DISORDER CLINICAL TRIALS, WHICH HAVE HISTORICALLY SUFFERED FROM LOW FDA APPROVAL RATES. BY ENHANCING THE QUALITY OF CLINROS, THIS RESEARCH ALIGNS WITH THE FDA AND HHS’ MISSIONS TO PROTECT AND PROMOTE PUBLIC HEALTH AND ACCELERATE THE DEVELOPMENT OF EFFECTIVE, SAFE, AND INNOVATIVE THERAPEUTICS FOR MOOD DISORDERS. THE AI-COA™ TOOL AIMS TO INCREASE STUDY POWER, REDUCE SAMPLE SIZE REQUIREMENTS, AND SHORTEN TRIAL DURATIONS, ULTIMATELY CONTRIBUTING TO MORE EFFICIENT AND SUCCESSFUL DRUG DEVELOPMENT PROCESSES.

THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES ARE PEERS WHO WILL DELIVER CULTURALLY RELEVANT AND TRAUMA-INFORMED RECOVERY SUPPORT, INCLUDING INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY THERAPY SESSIONS AND CONNECTIONS TO LIBERATION'S OTHER PROGRAMMING INCLUDING MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT AND ITS RESIDENTIAL INPATIENT PROGRAMS. THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACH'S SERVICES WILL BE OFFERED TO A POPULATION WHO ARE AT HIGH RISK OF OVERDOSE AND WHO OFTEN CANNOT AFFORD TREATMENT; 81.8% EXPERIENCED SOME SORT OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE INVOLVEMENT, 12.8% WERE HOMELESS, 70.8% WERE UNEMPLOYED, AND 86.6% LIVED BELOW THE FEDERAL POVERTY LINE, APPROXIMATELY QUADRUPLE THAT OF THE BRIDGEPORT POVERTY LEVEL.

THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY 20,000 GREATER BRIDGEPORT AREA RESIDENTS WHO LACK ACCESS TO NEEDED SUD/OUD/COD TREATMENT, UNDERSCORING A LIFE-THREATENING UNMET NEED. BRIDGEPORT LACKS RESOURCES OFFERING SUPPORT NOT ONLY FOR ITS RESIDENTS BUT THEIR FAMILIES, MAKING LIBERATION'S FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES A VITAL RESPONSE TO A CRITICAL ISSUE FOR AN UNDERSERVED POPULATION. THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES WILL CONNECT WITH INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE SUD/OUD/COD AS THEY PLAY A PARAMOUNT ROLE IN ADDRESSING THE NEED FOR COMPLETE, COMPREHENSIVE CARE FOR SUD/OUD/COD. AS PEER SUPPORTS, RECOVERY COACHES POSSESS THE EMOTIONAL KNOWLEDGE WHICH ONLY THOSE IN RECOVERY CAN UNDERSTAND AND WILL PASS THAT KNOWLEDGE ALONG TO OTHERS STRUGGLING WITH RECOVERY'S COMPLICATED AND STRESSFUL EMOTIONAL LANDSCAPE, AND ARE PROVEN TO HAVE A SALUTARY EFFECT ON PARTICIPANTS AND MADE A POSITIVE CONTRIBUTION TO SUBSTANCE USE OUTCOMES. THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES WILL SPECIALIZE IN SERVING CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES BY PROVIDING INDIVIDUAL CARE, RUNNING FAMILY THERAPY GROUPS, AND PROVIDING PEER SUPPORT TO CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES DURING TREATMENT AND POST-DISCHARGE. OVER THE ONE-YEAR GRANT PERIOD, LPI WILL ESTABLISH THE PRESENCE OF TWO FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES IN A JUDGMENT-FREE, RECOVERY-ORIENTED SETTING, REDUCE OVERDOSE RISK AMONG PARTICIPANTS, INCREASE ENGAGEMENT IN RECOVERY AMONG PARTICIPANTS, AND REMAIN RESPONSIVE TO FAMILY CONCERNS AND HOW THOSE RELATIONSHIPS CAN IMPACT RECOVERY. THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES WILL REACH AT LEAST 100 CLIENTS (50 EACH) AND ACTIVELY ENGAGE AT LEAST 40 FAMILIES (40 EACH) WHO HAVE A LOVED ONE IN RECOVERY. THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES' SERVICES WILL BE OFFERED TO ALL CLIENTS IN BRIDGEPORT UPON INTAKE, AND 100% OF FAMILIES ENGAGED WITH THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES WILL RECEIVE RECOVERY-FOCUSED EDUCATION, NOT ONLY REGARDING THE RECOVERY OF THEIR LOVED ONE BUT FOR THEIR FAMILY AS WELL. LIBERATION EXPECTS 70% OF ALL CLIENTS WORKING WITH THE FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES TO REDUCE OR ABSTAIN FROM SUBSTANCE USE. LIBERATION PROGRAMS' MISSION IS TO PROVIDE PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES IMPACTED BY SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND TO FOSTER HOPE AND MAINTAIN WELLNESS. THE TWO FAMILY RECOVERY COACHES REQUESTED WILL HELP US FULFILL THIS MISSION FOR A POPULATION CRITICALLY IN NEED.

LOWER LEVEL GENDER NEUTRAL RESTROOM - LIBERATION PROGRAMS, INC. (LPI) WILL USE CONGRESSIONALLY-DIRECTED SPENDING TO INSTALL A NEW FULLY-EQUIPPED GENDER-NEUTRAL RESTROOM IN THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE PELLETIER WELLNESS CENTER, OUR TWO-FLOOR STATE-OF-THE-ART OUTPATIENT SUBSTANCE MISUSE CLINIC IN BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, FOR USE BY LPI STAFF; THE PELLETIER WELLNESS CENTER SERVED 1,514 CLIENTS IN 2021. THE LOWER LEVEL HAS BEEN BUILT OUT AS A RESULT OF ADDITIONAL STAFF HIRED DUE TO AN INCREASED CLIENT CENSUS, AND THE SPACE MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH GENDER-NEUTRAL RESTROOMS SO STAFF WORKING IN THE AREA DO NOT NEED TO GO TO THE UPPER LEVEL WHEN USING THE RESTROOM. THIS ALLOWS FOR GREATER PRODUCTIVITY AND COMFORT, AS WELL AS INCREASED CONFIDENTIALITY, AS CLIENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ACCESS THE LOWER LEVEL. FUNDING WILL COVER THIS PROJECT'S PLANNING AND EXECUTION, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURE, PLUMBING, INSTALLATION, LABOR, AND OVERHEAD. AS PART OF OUR RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND THE SUBSEQUENT INCREASE IN CLIENT LOADS, LPI HIRED MORE FRONTLINE STAFF; THIS HAS LED TO THE NEED FOR INCREASED OFFICE SPACE WHERE STAFF CAN HANDLE CONFIDENTIAL CLIENT INFORMATION, MAKE NECESSARY PHONE CALLS TO CLIENTS AND OTHER PROVIDERS, AND COMPLETE ANY NECESSARY REPORTING AND COMPLIANCE TASKS. LPI HAS BUILT OUT THE LOWER LEVEL OF THE PELLETIER WELLNESS CENTER TO SUIT THIS NEED, INSTALLING OFFICES AND WORKSPACES SO STAFF MAY WORK FREELY IN A CONFIDENTIAL AND FULLY-EQUIPPED SPACE. EQUIPPING THE LOWER LEVEL WITH GENDER-NEUTRAL RESTROOMS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP IN PROVIDING THE MOST COMFORTABLE AND CONVENIENT WORK SETTING POSSIBLE FOR LPI STAFF IN THE LOWER LEVEL. GENDER-NEUTRAL RESTROOMS ALLOW STAFF TO REMAIN IN THE LOWER LEVEL AS THEY COMPLETE THEIR WORK INSTEAD OF HAVING TO GO UPSTAIRS AND USE RESTROOMS THAT ARE SHARED WITH OTHER STAFF AND RECOVEREES, LEADING TO INCREASED COMFORT, CONVENIENCE, AND PRODUCTIVITY. THE PURPOSE OF THE PELLETIER WELLNESS CENTER'S CONSTRUCTION, IN PART, WAS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE STAFF ARE ABLE TO ENJOY AMPLE SPACE, UPDATED AMENITIES, AND MORE POSITIVE WORKING CONDITIONS; THE ADDITION OF A GENDER-NEUTRAL RESTROOM IN LOWER LEVEL CONTINUES THAT COMMITMENT TO SUPPORTING OUR STAFF WHO IN TURN PASS THAT SUPPORT ONTO OUR RECOVEREES. THE RESTROOM PROMOTES INCLUSIVITY FOR STAFF AS IT IS GENDER-NEUTRAL, AND PROVIDES ACCOMMODATIONS TO EMPLOYEE NEEDS WHILE AFFIRMING EMPLOYEES WHO MAY IDENTIFY AS TRANSGENDER, GENDERQUEER, GENDER-NEUTRAL, OR NON-BINARY. LIBERATION PROGRAMS' MISSION IS TO PROVIDE PREVENTION, TREATMENT, AND RECOVERY SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS AND THEIR FAMILIES IMPACTED BY SUBSTANCE USE AND MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS, AND TO FOSTER HOPE AND MAINTAIN WELLNESS. THE INSTALLATION OF THE LOWER LEVEL GENDER-NEUTRAL RESTROOM WILL GIVE STAFF THE SPACE TO HELP US FULFILL THIS MISSION FOR A POPULATION CRITICALLY IN NEED.
