Seniors get ultimate gift at surprise holiday party with over 25,000 lights, musicians, and hundreds of visitors

Klick Health produces ‘Light The Way’ holiday video with long-term care home to help minimize loneliness among seniors during the holidays

 

TORONTO & NEW YORK — (BUSINESS WIRE) — The holiday season can be a lonely time for many seniors–increasingly so since the start of the pandemic–so Klick Health today released its ‘Light The Way’ holiday video to encourage people to “be the light in someone’s day.” The sentimental three-minute holiday production was created in partnership with the Tony Stacey Centre for Veterans Care (TSCVC) and shines a spotlight on the power of community and connection.


Set to original, new music by singer/songwriter Taylor Ashton, ‘Light The Way’ provides a heartwarming glimpse inside the non-profit long-term care home as Klicksters work outside to surprise residents with a larger-than-life holiday celebration. In the video, hundreds of family, friends, Klicksters, and community members turn up in droves for the event, featuring over 25,000 lights, a giant Santa throne and other festive decor, live entertainment, and hot cocoa.

 

“We are grateful to everyone at the Tony Stacey Centre for collaborating with us to bring to life such an important story,” said Chief Creative Officer Rich Levy. “Making this video has been a labor of love that has brought together the expertise of so many Klick crafts–from creative and production, to medical, events & experience, and more–all to bring joy and togetherness to an often overlooked community.”

 

According to the TSCVC, 75 percent of its residents don’t receive any visitors during the holiday season. Recently published research in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that social isolation and loneliness increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, or death by 30 percent. For many seniors, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has only made loneliness worse, and the holidays can be an especially difficult time.

 

Raising funds and awareness for long-term care homes

Klick’s Chief People Officer Glenn Zujew said, “We’ve been creating annual holiday videos to help spread festive cheer and give back to communities for over a decade, but this one is extra special. There’s a beautiful and tender emotionality to ‘Light The Way’ that we hope resonates around the world, and reminds everyone that human connection is the ultimate holiday gift.”

 

‘Light The Way’ also supports TSCVC’s ongoing fundraising efforts, with Klick donating $1 for each of the video’s first 10,000 YouTube views to the Toronto long-term care home, which has launched a fundraising campaign to redevelop its aging building. The company is also supporting a New Jersey-based long-term care home, sending homemade holiday cards to its residents and adding the care residence to its internal Klick it Forward charitable giving platform for the month of December, so Klicksters can direct the donation dollars they receive there.

 

In past years, Klick’s holiday videos have inspired millions of people with themes of kindness, empathy, and creativity. Last year, the company gave hundreds of its team members each a $100 bill with the simple directive to use it to ‘Spread Joy.’ Its popular 2020 ‘When Nobody’s Watching’ animated video received almost five million YouTube views, while its 2019 ‘Kindness is Contagious’ production received six million views and won a Webby Award. In 2019, the CW Network featured Klick’s ‘Epic Office Holiday Remix with Andrew Huang’ on its ‘Greatest Holiday Commercials Countdown’ show.

Amid Prez Biden’s cannabis possession pardons, students and faculty from a leading NJ public health program educate state-wide organizations on decriminalization

TCNJ’s public health program educates community groups and municipal organizations across NJ about decriminalization.

Decriminalizing drugs as a harm-reduction approach is an evidence-based public health strategy…

Dr. Natasha Patterson, Assistant Professor of Public Health, TCNJ

EWING, N.J. — In early October, President Biden announced pardons for thousands of people convicted of federal cannabis possession charges.

The move comes after decades of what many call a failed war on drugs and a snowballing opioid addiction crisis throughout the U.S.

With 2022 setting a grim record of 3,000 overdose deaths so far in New Jersey, public health students and faculty in the newly rebranded School of Nursing and Health Sciences (SNHS) at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) educate state-wide law enforcement and community organizations about treating addiction as an illness — not a crime.

Partnering with theOpen Society Foundations, TCNJ faculty members Dr. Natasha Patterson, Assistant Professor ofPublic Health, Dr. Michael Mitchell, Assistant Professor of Criminology and African American studies, and Dr. Sandy Gibson, Professor and Clinical Coordinator in Counselor Education, brief key community stakeholders on the repercussions the war on drugs has had on health systems, the criminal justice system and other critical sectors of society.

“Decriminalizing drugs as a harm-reduction approach is an evidence-based public health strategy and the first step in correcting a wrong that has been in place since the beginning of the war on drugs,” Dr. Patterson explains.

Concluding in December 2022, Dr. Patterson plans on drawing from the state-wide decriminalization workshops, as well as another research project focused on harm reduction awareness among peer recover specialists and patient navigators, to establish a five-course harm reduction certificate for students and community members.

Former graduate student, Jordyn Block, Class of 2021, helped organize these workshops with TCNJ faculty.

She reflects on her experience, explaining, “As a grad student, I applaud the work being done to educate others on the benefits of decriminalization. It’s opening up conversations that we should have had long ago, and giving individuals an opportunity to be honest about how they feel on the subject. In my opinion, it was not many years ago that these conversations were only spoken about behind closed doors. Let’s continue to discuss these issues, because they benefit not only me, as a student, but the generations before and after me.”

Discussing the nation’s current approach to opioid addiction, Dr. Michael Mitchell says, “Despite the implementation of harm reduction strategies to help prevent drug overdoses, its practice is not universally accepted. In the U.S., our established drug policies are still largely politically driven rather than informed by empirical evidence.”

And explaining how the decriminalization workshops have been received by community groups, Dr. Sandy Gibson, remarks, “Too often, people are unaware of the history of our drug policy or the racial discrepancy with which it is policed today. If you ask people if they care about someone who uses drugs, almost everyone says yes. If you ask them if they believe this person they care about belongs in a cage for years, or even decades, the answer is always no.”

TCNJ’s School of Nursing and Health Sciences’ Dean Carole Kenner explains, “Our faculty and students continue to embody scholarship in action, bringing innovative ideas and cutting-edge research beyond the borders of the College. We stay committed to using our scholar-mentorship model to not only deliver top-of-class education, but to help communities across New Jersey.”

 

The school rebranded in 2022 to reflect its robust and diverse, cross-disciplinary health science curricula.

TCNJ’s School of Nursing and Health Sciences educates aspiring health professionals to become future leaders across the healthcare industry. Faculty work closely with local healthcare partners to provide students with applicative skills and foundational knowledge. The nationally acclaimed school is dedicated to preparing individuals — through programs in nursing, public health, exercise science, and physical education teaching — for the many rewards of guiding people, communities, and populations toward improved health outcomes. The School is nationally recognized as a Healthy People 2030 Champion.

Pinnacle Treatment Centers opens Lacey Treatment Services in New Jersey to provide opioid addiction treatment

LANOKA HARBOR, N.J. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — Pinnacle Treatment Centers, a leader in providing accessible, affordable care for people seeking treatment for opioid use disorder, has opened Lacey Treatment Services in New Jersey. Located at 411 Route 9, Suite 1, the community-based program serves as Pinnacle’s 11th outpatient location in the Garden State.


According to the office of the Chief State Medical Examiner, Ocean County remains as one of the top three counties in New Jersey for suspected overdose deaths, behind Camden and Essex counties.

 

Medicaid-friendly, Lacey Treatment Services will offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for adult men and women, including FDA-approved medicines such as methadone and buprenorphine, which curb withdrawal symptoms from heroin and opioid addiction; prevent relapse; and help ease the physical discomfort that accompanies opioid recovery. Individual counseling, group counseling and peer support services are provided as part of a holistic approach to patient care.

 

MAT is proven to be clinically effective and significantly reduces the need for inpatient withdrawal management services, which means lower costs to payors and less disruption in the lives of patients seeking recovery.

 

Lacey Treatment Services’ treatment team is comprised of seasoned doctors, registered nurses, and credentialed clinical therapists who have all worked in medication-assisted treatment and bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the team. “The team we have assembled to treat this community brings a wealth of knowledge and long-time experience working in MAT. We are incredibly proud of this team and their drive to provide much needed services locally,” said Regional Vice President, Chris White. Lacey Treatment Services Assistant Executive Director, Dana Mills is motivated to get patients on track “We are here to be helpful and caring to the patients that need our services. In addition to medication and counseling, we will be able to provide peer support and case management services to eligible patients. This will allow us to connect these patients to resources who can assist with areas they may be struggling with, such as housing, health or dental services, employment, education, and other social services. Our goal is to give our patients the best chance possible at restoring their lives.”

 

Lacey Treatment Services accepts Medicaid, commercial insurance, and offers reasonable self-pay rates. The center is open Mondays through Fridays, 5:30 a.m.- 12 p.m., and on Saturdays, 5:30 a.m.- 12 p.m. Individuals can call 609-357-4428 for a free, confidential assessment.

  1. Delaware Valley Medical (Pennsauken)
  2. Hamilton Treatment Services
  3. Middletown Medical and Suboxone Services of Monmouth County
  4. Ocean Medical Services (Toms River)

ProtectED Rooms officially launches with bullet-resistant bookcase that becomes physical barricade; protects people in violent events such as active shooters and civil unrest

Bookcase effortlessly rolls and latches to block entryways creating “a safe room in seconds” in places such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, government buildings and other gathering spaces

 

ATLANTA & BOSTON — (BUSINESS WIRE) — ProtectED Rooms (“ProtectED”), creators of bullet-resistant security products to help protect people in violent situations, officially launched today with the introduction of its groundbreaking bookcase. Designed with a focus on protecting school children and staff in an active shooter situation, the impenetrable bookcase easily rolls and locks into place blocking the classroom entryway – with the potential to lock down an entire school in seconds. The Atlanta-based company has expanded with a presence in the Boston area to serve the Northeast region.


Greg McAleer, a retired senior leader of the U.S. Secret Service currently working as Senior Vice President of Business Operations & Risk Management at Global Guardian commented, “The ProtectED bookcase is a dramatic game changer for schools and other organizations, enabling them to harden buildings and create safe spaces during critical incidents.” McAleer continued, “It is a denial of entry tool with ballistic capabilities that prevents access, protects from gunfire, and helps deter or delay an attack. Time is critical and this product provides the precious minutes for law enforcement to respond. The bookcase could not come at a more urgent time.”

 

The protective bookcase can be utilized in other places such as hospitals, workplaces, government buildings, retail locations, places of worship, among others. Notably, because it functions and looks like a conventional bookcase, it blends into an environment avoiding the appearance of militarization that could cause fear and intimidation, especially in schools where learning could be impacted.

 

“The ProtectED bookcase is an unbelievable, revolutionary option to get people safe quickly,” commented Anthony Grieco, Superintendent of Schools, Rockaway Borough School District in New Jersey. “It is unfortunate, but necessary that school safety and security is something we have to discuss on a daily basis as educators. As a father of three and a school administrator of 20 years, I take safety very seriously.” He concluded, “The bookshelves give us an advantage in the event of a crisis situation, so we feel, and are, much safer without our students and staff feeling like they’re in a shelter.”

 

ProtectED was founded by Pete Facchini, a retired Master Sergeant of the U.S. Army’s elite 75th Ranger Regiment and a school teacher’s husband and father of three. After the tragic massacres at Virginia Tech and Sandy Hook, he knew he could apply his expertise as a Special Operations Combat Breacher to develop something that could save lives. Pete enlisted the support of his childhood friend who is an accomplished furniture designer and architect, and two former U.S. Army Infantry Captains and Rangers to help.

 

“The increase in the numbers of shootings is staggering and tragic,” said Facchini. “Resolving this crisis is going to require addressing it on a number of fronts. One of the most harrowing aspects of these situations is that in many cases innocent people have no way to get away from the danger. To the extent that protective measures can be incorporated into places without it feeling like a military facility, is one way to help.”

 

The patent-pending bookcases are proudly, 100% Made in USA, and have been installed in classrooms in Georgia and in New Jersey, with more orders being fulfilled. Sales and distribution for the Northeast region are through Safety in Seconds and W.B. Mason in Massachusetts, and School Outfitters in Ohio.

 

About ProtectED Rooms

ProtectED Rooms creates bullet-resistant security products to help protect people from violent situations such as active shooters and civil unrest in places such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, among others. Its first product, a groundbreaking bookcase designed with a focus on protecting school children and staff, serves as a physical barricade and ballistic barrier. The bookcase is easily rolled in front of a door and quickly latches into place, covering the entryway – with the potential to lock down a building in seconds. The patent-pending bookcases are proudly, 100% Made in USA, UL Security Listed, UL EPD Certified, and BIFMA Compliant. ProtectED Rooms is a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), based in Georgia with an office in Boston.
