September 2020

At our membership meeting this month, Frank Montagna introduced to everyone the new ABLED website and it’s features as well as our new Microsoft Teams channel.

The website is going to be foundational in how we, as an employee resource group, engage and inform the wider Argonne community. We will have an active blog, feeds, etc. to keep it as engaging and updated as possible.

The Teams channel will be a very active tool for our membership to engage and collaborate directly with each other, share resources and news. The Teams site is still being finalized but we will reach out to you all when it is up and running and let you know how to receive an invitation to join.

Thank you Frank, it was a big effort to get this launched!

As mentioned, ABLED is very proud to launch our newest support group for the Argonne Community. We have been planning and training for this upcoming group for a while and we are very proud and grateful of our own Harrel Townsend to volunteer to facilitate the group.

Thank you to our close partners in Health and Employee Wellness who have been helping us prepare for this launch.

As with any of our support groups, we will learn a lot in our first few meetings together to understand what sort of needs and conversations the attendees want to have. Mental health and wellness is a very large umbrella and we hope to be able to support the wide needs of the group.
