Cornerstone of Hope
Mission: Cornerstone of Hope is dedicated to providing support, education, and hope for the grieving. Cornerstone offers comprehensive grief support services to those seeking support after the death of a loved one and to the professional community who serves the bereaved. Cornerstone has special programs for grieving children, teens, and adults, including specific groups for young widows, those who have lost a child, and those affected by violent crimes, suicide, and neonatal loss, to name a few. Cornerstone also aims to improve existing programs and aid in establishing new services for the professional and corporate community who desire to serve the bereaved more effectively by offering educational workshops, training seminars, and partnership programs. Personnel in schools, hospices, funeral homes, hospitals, churches, corporations and various other organizations will benefit from the variety of programs targeted toward enhancing the response to those affected by grief.
Cuyahoga County Board of Developmental Disabilities
Each year, the Board of DD provides services and supports to more than 10,000 boys and girls and men and women in Cuyahoga County. The community knows us best for our early childhood centers, schools, adult activities centers and group homes, but we’re much more than that. Our full range of services includes everything from in-home early intervention programs for very young children and their families to leisure programs for seniors. Much of what we do goes beyond the walls of our own centers and homes and takes place in the community, where we encourage individuals with developmental disabilities to live, learn, work and play
No Rulz Art Cooperative
The No Rulz Art Cooperative was established in 2007 to bring young adults with and without disabilities together to explore different art mediums in a social atmosphere. “Understanding socks” grew out of a tie-dying project and has taken off due to the quality of work and cooperative efforts between people building on each other’s strengths. All phases of the tie-dying production are shared among the No Rulz members. The product, “Understanding Socks”, reflect the group’s hope for a greater understanding of the abilities of ALL PEOPLE!
