In a letter to the editor, Lynn Todman, Ph.D., Executive Director of the Institute on Social Exclusion at the Adler School, comments on a recent series on Chicago’s Englewood community reported by the Chicago Sun-Times’ nationally recognized writer Rick Telander.
Dr. Todman writes: “For the last six years, I have worked in Englewood, leading efforts of the Adler School of Professional Psychology to address issues such as youth violence, women empowerment and community mental health. In my interactions with residents — men, women, boys and girls — I’ve learned that there is a deep reservoir of pride in the community, of commitment to its survival and a belief in its eventual capacity to thrive. Certainly, the community has challenges; but it has bright spots as well.
