MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH SAMARITANS TO PROMOTE SUICIDE PREVENTION

MAYOR WALSH ANNOUNCES PARTNERSHIP WITH SAMARITANS TO PROMOTE SUICIDE PREVENTION

BOSTON - Saturday, October 1, 2016 -  At the 5K Samaritans Road Race, Mayor Martin J. Walsh today announced the City of Boston's partnership with the Samaritans of Boston, leading a citywide initiative to reduce the stigma associated with suicide, create public awareness about suicide prevention and increase support services to individuals in crisis. Samaritans Boston provides life-saving suicide prevention services that include a 24 hour phone/text helpline for people in crisis. Together with the City of Boston, Samaritans will educate workers that have regular contact with high risk populations about suicide prevention. "Suicide is a public health concern, and educating residents about existing resources, and identifying the risk signs of people who may harm themselves can help save lives," said Mayor Walsh. "As a City, we are only as strong as our people, and I am thankful to partners like the Samaritans for their work to fight suicide and save lives." Samaritans Gatekeeper Workshops will be presented to City Departments that have regular contact with high risk populations such as teens, veterans and the elderly. "Gatekeepers," workers who are contact with high risk populations, will learn important information about suicide prevention, including risk factors and warning signs; building resiliency/protective factors; and how to support someone at risk for suicide. Participating departments include The Office of Veteran Services, Boston Centers for Youth and Families' Street Workers and Senior Outreach Program, and the Boston Public Health Commission's Community Initiatives, Recovery Services, Homeless Services and Child, Adolescents and Family Services Program. In an effort to target teens, the Samaritans were invited to present a Suicide Prevention and Awareness workshop to more than 800 youth participating in the Mayor's SuccessLink summer jobs program. The youth listened to families impacted by a suicide death in their family, learning the warning signs and resources available to them. Each received a co-branded wristband containing the Samaritans toll free call/text crisis line - some of whom have since utilized the crisis line for support. "Samaritans is thrilled to be working with Mayor Walsh and so many groups in the City of Boston to raise awareness about this issue, and to let people know that suicide is preventable," said Steve Mongeau, Executive Director of Samaritans, Inc. "Through this partnership, we will help those who are struggling, and educate many about the warning signs and risk factors surrounding suicide." In Massachusetts, suicides are four times more frequent than homicides. Suicide has been steadily on the rise in Massachusetts, increasing by 38% since tracking began in 2003. However, the numbers have leveled off over the last four years and there is hope that we can reduce loss to suicide in the years ahead. "Suicide does not discriminate. Suicide impacts people regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation or ethnicity," said Felix G. Arroyo, Chief of the Mayor's Office of Health and Human Services. "This partnership will ensure we continue open and honest conversations about preventing suicide."   Residents who are interesting in joining the City of Boston and Samaritans Inc. in their mission to prevent suicide are encouraged to explore joining the the Samaritans Hotline. About Samaritans For over 40 years, Samaritans, Inc. volunteers have answered more than 2.5 million phone calls. The agency has trained more than 4,500 volunteers and instructed more than 100,000 individuals through its Community Education and Outreach Program, and has supported over 10,000 individuals who have lost a loved one to suicide. For more information about Samaritans, please visitwww.samaritanshope.org or contact Samaritans' business office at 617-536-2460 or info@samaritanshope.org. The Samaritans statewide helpline is 877-870-4673, taking calls and texts 24/7.

立法院外交國防委員會今天邀請僑委會委員長吳新興業務報告，僑委會在書面報告說明今年國慶活動情況。

僑委會指出，由於僑胞今年5月間剛回台參與第14任總統、副總統就職慶祝活動，因此預估返國參與本年十月慶典活動僑胞人數約4000人。將援例成立「僑胞接待服務處」，除安排僑胞參與10月10日「國慶大會活動」、「國慶酒會」外，並鼓勵參加10月9日「四海同心聯歡大會」。

今年「四海同心聯歡大會」節目，配合蔡總統就職時宣示「培養年輕僑領」的理念，特以「青年力量」為主軸，併以「點亮希望 台灣發光」、「感恩台灣 故鄉的歌」、「深耕在地 多元文化」及「青年美樂地」等四大主題，呈現台灣多元文化，讓僑胞親身感受台灣的朝氣與活力。

僑委會表示，另為提供海外僑胞更優質旅遊行程及促進各縣市觀光收益，今年公開甄選40家旅行社所規劃的94條旅遊行程供僑胞參採，行程遍布北、中、南、東部及離島。

此外，為推廣「僑胞安心計畫」，將於慶典期間設置服務櫃檯，並請衛生福利部協助僑胞預約健檢與提供相關諮詢，以利返國鄉親體驗優質服務，促進台灣國際醫療產業發展。

LEO Pharma expands partnering presence with LEO Science & Tech Hub in Boston

LEO Pharma expands partnering presence with LEO Science & Tech Hub in Boston 

The Hub will join forces with life science community to advance treatment of skin diseases

BALLERUP, Denmark, 30 September 2016 - LEO Pharma, a global healthcare company dedicated to helping people achieve healthy skin, today announced the official inauguration of the LEO Science & Tech Hub in Boston by Her Royal Highness, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark. The event, which also includes participation from the Danish Minister for Business and Growth Troels Lund Poulsen, brings to-gether members of the Boston life science community to explore opportunities for partnership and inno-vation. 
The Hub aims to catalyze early-stage collaborations in science and technology in order to advance the treatment of skin diseases and is the first of its kind to focus on dermatology in the Greater Boston area, the world's leading life science cluster. 

"With the establishment of the LEO Science & Tech Hub at the epicenter of this world-leading biotech supercluster, LEO Pharma is poised to foster novel collaborations that can lead to significant advances in science," says Kim Kjoeller, Executive Vice President, Global Research & Development, LEO Phar-ma. "By creating alliances with industry and academia here in the region, we hope to change the treat-ment paradigm in dermatology and improve the quality of life of people with skin diseases."

The LEO Science & Tech Hub will build early-stage collaborations with academic centers, entrepreneurs and companies in the United States - and support collaborators in validating novel targets in skin dis-eases and advancing technology towards commercialization. The Hub team has access to full deal-making capabilities and can provide support in terms of seed investments and co-development, including access to LEO Pharma's global network of dermatology expertise. Collaborators can access LEO Phar-ma's preclinical and clinical expertise as well as the digital healthcare expertise of LEO Innovation Lab.

"The LEO Science & Tech Hub wants to join forces with life science innovators in the US to change the treatment paradigm for people with skin diseases and take the first steps towards precision medicine in dermatology," says Michael Sierra, Vice President, LEO Science & Tech Hub. "By offering our collabora-tors access to funding and a unique global network of dermatology expertise, we want to act as cata-lysts for innovation and help bring new science and technology to the next stage."

The Hub's team of science experts will engage with partners in three areas: cognitive computer learning, imaging, and biomarkers. For example, the Hub will explore the use of smart phones to help patients monitor their disease and track treatment progress. The Hub will also explore advanced imaging technol-ogies as a valid and reliable alternative to skin biopsies. The overall aim is to enable patients and doc-tors to monitor, diagnose, and treat skin diseases in a more effective and less invasive way.

The LEO Science & Tech Hub is located in the heart of the Kendall Square innovation district at the CIC in Cambridge, Massachusetts. 

"We are excited for LEO Pharma to join Massachusetts' thriving life sciences ecosystem, bringing the first center focused exclusively on dermatology to the Commonwealth," said Charlie Baker, Governor of Massachusetts. "This new facility will advance research and the development of new treatments in the field of dermatology, while opening up new opportunities for collaboration between the life sciences communities in Massachusetts and Denmark."

"We congratulate LEO Pharma on the opening of the new LEO Science & Tech Hub in Kendall Square," said Robert K. Coughlin, President & CEO of MassBio. "We know that LEO Pharma's collaborative spirit will cultivate new partnerships in the Hub that will advance precision medicine in dermatology and ulti-mately speed the development of innovative treatments for patients around the world." 

"LEO Pharma's new dermatology-focused LEO Science & Tech Hub is a welcome addition to the many life sciences centers of excellence that are operating and innovating in and around Boston and Cam-bridge," said Travis McCready, President & CEO of the Massachusetts Life Sciences Center. "Skin dis-eases are more common than one might expect - every year one in four Americans consult their primary care physician regarding a skin concern. We look forward to collaborating with LEO Pharma as they put down roots and form partnerships within the world's leading ecosystem for life sciences innovation and growth."

全美首届华人公益及非营利组织创业论坛在洛杉矶举办

全美首届华人公益及非营利组织创业论坛28日在洛杉矶举行，近三百位来自洛杉矶、加州和全美各地的华人公益及非营利机构、知名企业的代表出席了本次论坛。美国国会众议院外交事务委员会主席Ed Royce，加州财务长江俊辉、加州参议员Bob Huff, 加州众议员David Hadley, 核桃市华裔市长秦振国分别向论坛发来了贺信。他们肯定并鼓励华人积极参与和投入到社会公益事业活动和参与非营利组织。

论坛邀请在国际野生动物保护界享有盛名的华人、马拉野生动物保护协会创始人星巴，两届奥运会拳击冠军、世界拳王邹市明，三届残奥会跳高冠军侯斌等嘉宾在论坛发表了主题演讲。

嘉宾们表示，野生动物保护刻不容缓，中国残疾人公益组织也日渐壮大，华人要注重塑造关注和热心公益的社会形象，希望华人非营利公益组织能在全美华人区更加壮大。

第一位全职在非洲从事野生动物保护的中国人星巴表示，中国民众目前的环保意识越来越高，但还处于起步阶段。已经有越来越多的人理解并参与保护生态队伍。他表示，保护自然是不分国界的，必须以全球视野来看待。中国作为一个发展中国家，

他认为公益是全世界不分国家和种族都认同的事情，华人应积极参与，并在自己的能力范围内用自己的专业和特长服务社区、人类和这个世界。而通过参与公益，也可以提高华人在国际社会中的形象。

奥运冠军邹市明在论坛中分享了自己携全家赴非洲参加野生动物保护的体会。他表示，作为公众人物，发挥自己的影响力，让民众了解野生动物保护所面临的困境，让更多人关心野生动物保护，投身环保，是他义不容辞的责任。能受邀参加论坛他非常高兴。

他表示，保护自然环境，保护生物多样性，是关系到全人类福祉的事情，所以必须引起重视。他讲到刚刚到非洲，当地人由于受到星巴的影响，可以听到非洲的孩子用贵州话跟他们交流，深切感受到爱真的是没有国界的。

侯斌九岁时因意外失去左腿，1996年在亚特兰大残奥会获得男子跳高金牌，并于2000和2004年两次卫冕，2008年残奥会，侯斌通过拉拽绳索攀爬方式，点燃了主火炬。他讲述了自己从残疾人工厂开始为自己设立目标，不懈努力，终于达成目标的过程。鼓励青年朋友，不要放弃心中的梦想。

2013年，他成立非营利组织“再站起来”，为贫困青少年以及残疾人运动员免费安装义肢。作为一名运动员，他得到过非常多的帮助，才能成就今天的成绩，因此他认为自己应该回馈社会。他也分享了从事公益活动和事业的体会和过程中的困难。

包括美国云南青年联合会、北美学生网、世界青年发展论坛、北美职通车、可道、美国贵州华侨联合会等机构的代表在论坛中分别介绍了各自的组织概括和宗旨。

全美中华青年联合会会长任向东讲述了公益和非营利组织的定义和作用；（Plusyoou)普创联合创始人史源和LEAP职业发展论坛联合创始人何宇滔参加了由全美中华青年联合会理事长朱冰峰主持的联合访谈，分享非营利组织创业的心得和经验；马拉野保基金会学生志愿者刘涟莲（15岁）、任士辰（15岁）、胡凯琪（15岁）和刘桐汐（8岁）也上台讲述他（她）们在非洲的野保志愿者经历。

在美国推动、从事陆龟保护的何山在参加论坛后表示，这样的论坛太及时了，通过论坛认识了这么多志同道合的青年精英，也给了自己继续下去的动力。到现场表示对贵州籍同乡星巴和邹市明支持的美国贵州华侨联合会会长罗景、非营利组织北美职通车的刘方等表示，通过参加论坛，对于管理非营利组织、以及从事公益事业有许多“脑洞大开”的启发。

“全美首届华人公益及非营利创业论坛”是由PlusYoou普创、LEAP职业发展论坛、侨报、肯尼亚马拉野保基金会、美国栖息地守望者基金会、深圳守望自然野保发展研究中心、全美中华青年联合会以及“再站起来”公益项目等机构联合主办，集合了数十家机构联合发起的大型公益活动，旨在鼓励全球华人投身支持公益事业以提高华人国际形象，这是第一次在美国举办的由华人社团发起的立足公益创新的主题论坛。（AACYF洛杉矶讯）
