| | | NHF12-006 | | Piercing, Tattoos & Gages, Oh My!: Pros and Cons of Body Art Speakers: Jennifer Maahs, PNP; Tonya Hegwood, LCSW Piercings, tattoos and gages are often seen as a means of self-expression by many adolescents and young adults, even those with a bleeding disorder. While having a bleeding disorder doesn’t prevent a person from obtaining piercings, tattoos or gages, it does add to the list of considerations to be made prior to making a decision about body art. During this session we focus on safety concerns and precautions, and how peer pressure is related. We learn how to address psychosocial issues common in the adolescent/young adult age group and intervention techniques. Audio CDs: 1 | | Audio CD | | $12.00 | | $12.00 | |

Johnson, Jr., Distinguished Professor of Public Policy and Urban Studies, Rochester Institute of Technology; Andre Brumfield, Assoc. AIA, Principal | Director of Urban Design + Planning, AECOM As many American cities attempt to rebound from housing and economic decline, some continue to struggle as job losses and increasing inventories of vacant properties add to decades of population loss. This session explores how America's "Legacy Cities"—cities like Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, and St. Louis—are employing rightsizing approaches to adapt to a changing economy and to position themselves for new growth and investment. Hear a multi disciplinary panel of policy leaders, advocates, and local officials as they explore how communities nationally, in Ohio, New York and Michigan have moved beyond the rhetoric of rightsizing and have started the process of retooling and reimagining their communities and regions. Discussion topics include: a new role for federal community development policy, the challenges of managing and rightsizing infrastructure, authentic community engagement, balancing public investment and market demand, equity, and strategies for local community driven change.
