Congratulations to our newest GED recipients! Our residents worked hard to earn their GEDs and were honored last night at Durham Technical Community College 's commencement ceremony! (fb)

We loved partnering with Duke University Prof. Adam Rosenblatt's Service-Learning at Duke University class "Graphic Ethnography: Comics as Research," on creative storytelling as they collaborated with TROSA senior residents to share their lives on paper! From Duke Service Learning: "Students and residents co-created comics based on personal recovery stories. From battling addiction through video-game metaphors to transforming into butterflies, the comics reveal hard-won journeys of strength, hope, and healing. "These powerful collaborations didn’t just teach students how to conduct research—they taught them how to listen, connect, and draw with care." We celebrated this creative collaboration with a reception on TROSA's campus, where the comics were revealed and the residents and students had a chance to share their work. This was a pilot project and we hope to do more like this in the future!
