ACC, UT Health Austin open Amplify Center, state's first young adult ... (Austin American-Statesman)

The Amplify Center aims to provide free mental services to at least 200 ACC students at the college's Eastview Campus this year.

“This collaboration between ACC's Clinical Counseling and Dell Med’s Center for Youth Mental Health programs builds a connection like never before,” Rhodes said in a statement. The center can provide ACC students with mental health services, including employment and education support, connection to community resources and care navigation in person, over the phone or virtually. I think it’s really opening a door for more growth within the mental health community.” It also will help address the limited access that young adults have to mental health services and provide a friendly space for students, she said. The survey found that 33.7% of 18- to 25-year-olds, or 11.3 million people, have a mental illness. The center aims to provide mental health services for at least 200 ACC students within its first year of opening, according

Sacked while on ACC leaves employee feeling undervalued (New Zealand Herald)

Tovio Ugone was blamed for taking time off work to recover from a workplace injury.

The dismissal left Ugone shattered, feeling undervalued, and as if he had lost himself. Anderson ruled the dismissal was a reaction to Ugone’s ACC Medical Certificate and Star Moving did not consult with Ugone about the purported restructuring, and did not consult with Ugone regarding the proposed alternative role. “No concerns were raised with Mr Ugone prior to the dismissal, no opportunity was provided to Mr Ugone to respond to Star Moving’s purported concerns as to his absence from work, and there was absolutely no consultation or notice given to Mr Ugone that his position might be disestablished. However, after Ugone provided Star Moving with a letter confirming he could return to work on restricted, sedentary duties, he was told by letter that due to his extended absence and a company restructure, his role was being disestablished. Ugone gave evidence he was never provided any further information about the alternative position, there was no discussion about pay and he was not provided with a draft individual employment agreement or any other documentation relating to the role. He was also unable to explain why he or Star Moving made no attempt to contact Ugone about the letter.

But Anderson said: “Star Moving produced no records of such communications or attempts to call or contact Mr Ugone. Star Moving had every opportunity to provide such evidence to the authority but did not do so. And, after finding Star Moving had broken employment law when it failed to provide Ugone with a copy of his individual employment agreement, Anderson fined the company $6000 with $4000 going to the ERA, and $2000 to Ugone. He ordered Star Moving to pay Ugone $28,275.09 for wages lost as a result of the company’s actions, and in compensation, and pay $848.25 into his KiwiSaver account. * He went on to ACC, but in August 2020 when he told his employer he would be able to work on restricted “sedentary” duties, the company told him his job was gone.
