The Listening Project - February Survey Available!
The February survey is now available!
The past few months of Listening Project research have given ideastream a good idea to what you believe are the regional assets and challenges in various topic areas, such as arts, environment, economy and health.
This month, ideastream continues The Listening Project and would like your thoughts on the region itself - your participation is needed!
Facing Depression
During the month of January, ideastream will present multimedia coverage examining depression. We’ll follow the stories of local people in the community and hear how depression has affected them and treatments available. Noted medical experts will explain how depression manifests itself, what’s known about its causes, and what the risk factors are. In addition, we’ll learn about the stigma that still plagues this disease, and how both patients and families cope with it.
People, Connections, Resources
The Help Wanted and Facing the Mortgage Crisis projects are designed to raise public awareness, mobilize networks of community partners, and aggregate community resources to serve our Northeast Ohio communities.
