This assessment was paid for by the SBWIB and prepared by Magellan Advisors, a leading consultant for broadband infrastructure planning. The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access and capacity. The report examines how the South Bay region is currently served with broadband infrastructure and focused on the services available to cities, businesses and key economic development zones in the South Bay Area. An essential objective of the study was to confirm the region and South Bay businesses had access to services they needed at prices they could afford. In addition, the project examined what would be required in the future with recommendations on how to meet those needs. One suggestion in particular was to consider the development of a regional fiber optic network called, “SMART-Net”; that would be available to all cities in the South Bay interconnecting them with high capacity, high speed internet access. Initially, this idea would be for city governments to use, but later could be expanded outward if desired by each city to support their economic growth. Movies scheduled for the series include: Moana (PG) on Saturday, August 5 at Inglewood City Hall – One W. Manchester Boulevard Beauty and the Beast (PG) on Saturday, August 19 at Darby Park – 3400 W. Arbor Vitae Follow the City of Inglewood on social media (Facebook, Twitter or Instagram) for reminders and announcements the day of the events. For additional information, call the Movie-Info line at (310) 412-8880 or visit the City’s website at www.cityofinglewood.org. – Source: City of Inglewood To fully explore this option, the SBWIB and the SBCCOG are working to launch Phase 2 of the project, which will assess the feasibility of the recommendations and consider more closely the benefits to each South Bay city. Broadband speed and capacity is a crucial driver for job creation and economic growth and is also important for business retention and layoff aversion. Jan Vogel, SBWIB Executive Director said, “We feel this issue is central to the health of the local economy. Investing in broadband infrastructure and ensuring businesses have the tools they need to stay competitive and be successful encourages innovation, economic growth and creates jobs.” The 15 South Bay cities the Fiber-Optic Master Plan analyzed included Carson, El Segundo, Gardena, Hawthorne, Hermosa Beach, Inglewood, Lawndale, Lomita, Manhattan Beach, Palos Verdes Estates, Rancho Palos Verdes, Redondo Beach, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates and Torrance. The SBWIB operates four One Stop Business & Career Centers within the South Bay service area, plus two Teen Centers in Inglewood and Hawthorne. Business and employment services are provided at no cost to the public.

THE PURCHASE OF A NEW ACORN STAIRLIFT! Access To Mental Health Care May Be Just A Virtual Visit Away (BPT) - Mental health disorders impact thousands of people every day, including many of our friends, neighbors and co-workers. Everyone reading this likely knows someone struggling with mental illness and is aware of the toll it can take on individuals, families and communities. Mental health challenges do not discriminate - they affect people from all walks of life regardless of age, gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic level. While stress, anxiety, depression and other mental health disorders impact an estimated 43 million adults nationwide each year, the World Health Organization reports that only about one in four people with a diagnosed disorder is likely to pursue treatment. Unfortunately, barriers prevent people from getting the mental health care they may need. The reasons are many. Consider these statistics: 4,000 areas in the U.S. have only one psychiatrist for 30,000 or more people; the average waiting time for a first psychiatric visit is 25 days; and stigma is the fourth highest-ranked barrier to help-seeking. The good news is that people who access care more quickly may be more likely to engage in their treatment and have a better outcome. With the right treatment and support, people can recover from mental health disorders to live healthy, self-directed lives as valuable members of their community. Sometimes all it takes is a gentle nudge from a friend or loved one to help someone take that first step on their path to recovery. For some people, that best first step may be a virtual visit with a mental health provider via a mobile device or computer. For many, access to virtual care may already be available as part of their health care benefits. Virtual care can shorten wait times for an appointment, fit work and personal schedules, and eliminate travel time and expense. An appointment conducted in the safe, comfortable environment of home may reduce stigma. And, research shows that outcomes of a virtual visit with a mental health provider are similar to in-person sessions for multiple disorders. Raising awareness and reducing stigma around mental health issues are keys to supporting well-being within our communities. Today, people can access effective, proven treatment in a variety of formats, including using video-calling technology. It’s up to all of us to reach out and encourage our friends, neighbors and family members in need to access these available resources.
