Crystal Judson Family Justice Center awarded Verizon Foundation grant The Verizon Foundation has awarded $12,520 to the Crystal Judson Family Justice Center (pictured) to fund mental health counseling and support groups for clients. The Verizon Foundation invests in organizations that provide education, prevention, care and empowerment resources for victims of domestic violence. "We are very thankful for the continued support of the Verizon Foundation. They are committed to giving back to the community by supporting programs such as ours," said Rick Talbert, a Pierce County Councilmember and chair of the center's Executive Board. "Support groups and counseling play a vital role in helping clients move past the abuse to lives of safety and stability. With the generous support of the Verizon Foundation we will continue to provide these much needed services to some of the most vulnerable members of our community." Established in 2005 through an agreement between Pierce County and the City of Tacoma, the Crystal Judson Family Justice Center serves the needs of domestic violence victims and their children by providing comprehensive victim services in a central, safe location. The center is named in honor of the late Crystal Judson Brame. More information is available at aplaceofhelp.org. Family caregivers have resources to ease their work Many people who need help—whether because of age, accident, debilitating disease, chronic health conditions or simple frailty—much prefer to remain in the familiar (and affordable) surroundings of home rather than move to formal care facilities. Fully one in four families will fall into this role. Most people won't always know when the need will arise, but there are things people can do to feel more prepared for caregiving.

Her Aim Is True
Library will screen film of late rock 'n' roll photographer Courtesy Photos Tacoma Public Library will screen a documentary film about the late Jini Dellaccio (pictured), who was a notable photographer who documented rock 'n' roll in its early years. Her Aim Is True brings together musicians and photographers to reveal the unlikely rock 'n' roll photographer Dellaccio, who visualized punk before it had a name and embodied indie before it was cool. Dellaccio was a daring and innovative composer who worked with rockers such as The Sonics and Neil Young, and captured early performances by bands such as The Who and The Rolling Stones. For the first time in 50 years, Dellaccio shared her story and archive with the filmmaker Karen Whitehead, and reunited with musicians and rock photographers to trace the roots of her artistry and life. The film was released in 2013 and earned the Audience Choice Award at the Tacoma Film Festival later that year. Dellaccio passed away in 2014 at the age of 97. Her Aim Is True will be screened at 2 p.m. on Sat., April 4, in the Olympic Room of the main branch of the Tacoma Public Library, located at 1102 Tacoma Ave. S., in Tacoma. More information is available online at heraimistruemovie. com. cussion about family caregiving and the resources, tools and skills that can help caregivers over the long term. The discussion will explore ways families share responsibilities, how to handle caregiver duties, the challenges most caregivers face and the resources available in Pierce County. Participants will also learn how to recognize and avoid caregiver burnout. Conversations on Caregiving will be offered four times: Sat., April 11 — 11 a.m. to noon at the University Place Library, 3609 Market Place W., in University Place; Mon., April 13 — 12:10 p.m. to 12:50 p.m. at the Pierce County Annex, 2401 S. 35th St., in Tacoma; Weds., April 15 — 12:10 p.m. to 12:50 p.m. at the County City Building Rainier Conference Room 7th Floor, 930 Tacoma Ave. S., in Tacoma; and Weds., April 15 — 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at the Puyallup Library, 324 S. Meridian, in Puyallup.
The discussion will provide an opportunity for individuals to explore the options, needs, resources and supports available to them. According to former first lady Rosalyn Carter, "There are only four kinds of people in the world—those who have been caregivers, those who are currently caregivers, those who will be caregivers and those who will need caregivers." Conversations on Caregiving is sponsored by Pierce County Community Connections Aging and Disability Resources (ADR) in collaboration with local community partners. ADR coordinates the Family Caregiver Support Program that provides a range of services and supports to family caregivers to help keep them strong and effective in their role. The program currently serves over 2,000 families in Pierce County. The information-only event is free and open to the public. No RSVP is required.
