Zhuang asks about Brewer's monthly clinic model and expansion
Shear mentions a monthly SCRIE clinic with Council Member Brewer, and Zhuang asks whether similar clinics exist with other members, praising the model as a place of trust and urging expansion to all 50 council members. Shear confirms DOF wants to work with all members and sent emails to every elected official in August.
Would you say that those are effective forms of outreach?
Yes.
For the events with the council members and elected officials, these are events like, are these events that are maybe
town hall about a specific topic and then you all are tabling or is this an event about scree and drewy?
I'm just trying to understand, you know, outreach is an art and so few applicants We do both.
Worries me.
Yes.
I understand your concern, but to answer your question, we do events that are specific to screen injury, and we also do general outreach events.
However, screen injury always figure very prominently to us and are at the top of the agenda.
What were the events that took place last month?
I will need to get back to you with that.
Is there a recurring...
Recurring set of events that happen regularly and then
Are there events that are maybe larger, that happen every three months, every six months?
I need to get back to you for most of that.
One thing that I will mention is that we do have a monthly event with Councilmember Brewer, who is here.
We do a clinic at her office where we have people who can assist people who need help with screen injury.
And we are happy to do that with as many other council members who want to work with us.
See, now that's really good to know.
Are there other efforts like this clinic?
Because I do think clinics, especially in member offices, that's a really good point, a good place of trust and...
I know that not all of us have this kind of a reach, but Councilmember Brewer has hundreds of thousands of people in her email listserv.
100,000.
We're not all at her level.
But this clinic is important, and something that is this consistent is a great initiative.
So that's really what I'm trying to get at with my line of questioning, is just to understand, are we using our time as effectively as we can so that word is getting out?
Whereas sometimes we can have events and things that are almost just vibes, and people aren't really taking it.
out of those spaces what they should be.
So I'll come back to more questions, but I wanted to
Oh, yes.
And then just this before I share the mic.
