Felt safety is the cornerstone of our ability to connect and regulate. Yet, at times we may be safe, but not feel safe. Our outward response to loss of felt safety may vary, but neurobiologically there is a pattern which can help us find our way back to felt safety. The “Fight or Flight” response tells only part of the story of how we respond to stress (loss of felt safety). We will dive into our full stress response cycle and explore tools to help us end the battle to stop “behavior” and shift to helping ourselves and others create the resilience, belonging, and courage to work cooperatively.

Ethical Concerns for Generative AI<https://www.ohionet.org/event/ethical-concerns-for-generative-ai>
Webinar on February 27, 2025, 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm  |  $15.00 (Member) / $45.00 (Non-Member)
Generative AI has advanced rapidly in the past two years, making it challenging to keep up with the latest developments—let alone pause to critically reflect on its ethical implications. As library professionals, we are uniquely positioned to question how and why these tools are created and used. Have you considered the potential impacts of generative AI on privacy, equity, or intellectual freedom?
This webinar invites you to explore generative AI through the ethical framework of the ALA Code of Ethics. Whether you’re already experimenting with AI tools or just starting to explore their possibilities, this session will help you navigate the ethical considerations that should guide your decisions. Join us for an engaging discussion designed to equip you with a thoughtful approach to AI in libraries.

Community Archiving is an Enduring Activity<https://www.ohionet.org/event/community-archiving-is-an-enduring-activity>
Webinar on March 6, 2025, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm  |  $15.00 (Member) / $45.00 (Non-Member)
In this webinar, Dr. Harrison Apple (they/them) will describe how they used their background as a social-practice artist to bolster community archives preservation. You’ll learn how to make connections across multiple fields and then apply those relationships to solve problems that present themselves in your local information environment.
Drawing on oral history, documentary, archeology, and archival sciences, Apple outlines how their research turned to traditional community engagement and collection methods – quickly realizing they failed to deliver on the needs of their own community. This talk will guide you through a useful critique of some familiar methods for information professionals and strategies to meet our communities at their unique needs.

The Power of Context<https://www.ohionet.org/event/the-power-of-context>
Webinar on Mar 13, 2025, 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm  |  $15.00 (Member) / $45.00 (Non-Member)
Neuroscience is demonstrating that some of the most challenging behaviors connected with treating trauma are actually biologically based fear responses more related to fear-based dysregulation than intractable behavior. As Maureen Walker reminds, “Strategies for disconnection are an intense yearning for connection in an atmosphere of fear.” When we switch the question from, “What’s wrong with with you?” (uniformed) to “What’s happened to you?” (trauma Informed) and then to “What did you do to survive?” (trauma responsive), we can more clearly see trauma’s effect on brain chemistry, development, and relationships.
