The last few months have been plagued with divisive turmoil – from wars abroad to the recent election here in the States. However, we have also seen success, at least for the moment, in the Dakota Access Pipeline and we know what can happen when individuals and communities are empowered to work together for good. Our hope is that this newsletter plants seeds of hope so each of you can continue to be an agent of change for yourselves and empower your clients and communities to bring long lasting positive changes in the social justice arena. Thank you all for your patience in receiving this first edition of the 2016/2017 newsletter. My sincerest thanks to the newsletter team – Lauren Chase, Ghil Hong, and Dylan Davis – for their assistance in making this a beautiful edition! csj-winter-issue-20161 May this season’s greetings bring you all joy and peace! Warmest regards, Shannon Ng-- m: (917) 725-0127 On the turning away From the pale and downtrodden And the words they say which we won’t understand “Don’t accept that what’s happening Is just a case of others’ suffering Or you’ll find that you’re joining in The turning away” – Pink Floyd Our CSJ Division Community has been up and running on ACA Connect for the past two months. We hope that you find this forum useful and that it will continue to help us increase communication and connection among CSJ members. Given that we are now using the ACA Connect system, the CSJ Board has voted to move communications to this system and end the use of our listserv (COUNSELORS-SOCJUST-L@LISTS.UFL.EDU). We want to give a very special thanks Dr. Edil Torres Rivera, long time administrator of the listserv, for providing this service to the CSJ community – it is much appreciated! Using the ACA Connect system enables members to be added or removed automatically as they join or leave CSJ, making it easier for us to ensure that we are reaching all of our members. It also provides us with a space to have discussions and share documents/information. For members who are “division only” CSJ members, our Communications Officer will forward you the “CSJ Official” notifications via email since ACA Connect is only accessible to ACA members.
As a reminder, here are some details about using the CSJ Division Community on ACA Connect: As a member of the CSJ Division and of ACA, you are automatically a member of the CSJ Division Community. We invite members to use this platform to discuss social justice in counseling, share resources, and connect with one another. CSJ leadership will also use it to provide information about CSJ initiatives and other activities. You will receive a daily round-up of all of the messages posted from the prior day. If at any point you would like to stop receiving these messages, simply visit your Community Notifications page and select “No Email”. There is also an option to receive messages in “real time” instead of in digest format (the daily round-up) if you prefer. Email our community manager at community@counseling.org with any questions or concerns. Please note that “CSJ OFFICIAL” at the start of the subject line will indicate that the post is official CSJ business posted by a CSJ Board member, such as award notices or conference updates.
