Created by the SW CT Regional Mental Health Board

Our "Room Makeover Award" is 1 of 10 WORLDWIDE FINALISTS in the "Designing for Better Health" competition funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and managed by Ashoka Changemakers in 2009.  It was judged to be innovative and sustainable, with social impact and true potential for growth.

 

In 2010, Global Giving (a very selective fundraising resource) included our initiative on its website, with the sponsorship of the National Association on Mental Illness in CT (NAMI-CT). 

 

The Creative Strokes Network is titled:  "Revitalizing Homes for People with Mental Illness" and can be found at:  http://www.globalgiving.org/projects/mental-health-home-recovery/ 

 

You may also go to www.globalgiving.com and search for NAMI-CT to make it simple!  We welcome any and all donations!

 

Our Room Makeover Award entry in the Changemakers "Designing for Better Health" competition is neck in neck with Peru in terms of the number of times it has been viewed.  And that puts us in 3rd place worldwide... Spread the Word to VOTE NOW!  See Favorite Hotlinks...

We need your vote and those of your friends and family to catch up to 3 other finalists in the competition "Designing for Better Health" sponsored by Ashoka Changemakers and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.  Please join us in taking on this challenge! 

The Changemakers website was just totally updated.  The revised step-by-step "HOW TO VOTE" instructions to the right will help you register, review finalists, and vote for the Room Makeover Award and two other favorites.  This is a challenge, so please share what you learn with others to help them vote too!  

  

NOW IS THE TIME to register and vote!  Networking is a powerful way to get results!

On May 13th, Changemakers.net announced that the "Room Makeover Award" proposal describing the Creative Strokes Network is now one of ten finalists in an innovative competition on "Designing for Better Health." (See Favorite Hotlinks)

 

Experts have selected these finalists from among 282 applicants globally.  Now YOU (and everyone else) can register on the website, and when confirmed, can log on and vote for three of the finalists.  No vote will count unless three votes are made by the person who logs on.

 

The challenge to demonstrate how "nudges" and changes in the environment could impact healthy behavior was issued by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. 

The Creative Strokes Network (CSN) entered the Changemakers competition sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) and needs your support. (See above: Favorite Hotlinks)

 

This competition has some very unique features.  For example, YOUR INPUT and HELP GETTING VOTES MATTER.  Logging in (with even a minimal personal profile) gives you the right to:

 

1) COMMENT on this entry,

2) EMAIL IT others who can promote it, and

3) VOTE on the proposal at the end of the process.
