Sharing for AIMED Human Services

Our history stems back to 1998 when AIMED was first formed out of a desire to help families and their loved one with an intellectual disability and diagnosis, navigate a complex system of care.

This was a time when families were in a situation much like mine, when a creative and innovative approach to services and care was absent.
The model(s) were typical of standard and MH services, and the two didn’t really work together to create an integrative system of care.
Today is much different, and AIMED strived to become a part of the solution by offering services that address the complexities of many individuals and families.

Pittsburgh, PA – The 3rd Annual Charm School and Man Camp in the Steel City is set to take place on Saturday, August 16th, and Sunday, August 17th from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, offering youth ages 10–17 and their parents a weekend of education, inspiration, and empowerment.

This free two-day event, created by WAMO 107.3 personality, brand manager, and business owner Ki Ki B. Jones, will feature interactive workshops led by local professionals who will donate their time and expertise in areas including:

• Finance
• Fitness
• Mental Health
• Entrepreneurship
• Etiquette
• Law & Order

Parents are encouraged to stay for a special parenting workshop that mirrors many of the youth topics, allowing families to continue conversations at home.

“The workshops were created for youth and parents to discuss after the event,” says Ki Ki B. Jones. “I don’t want the experience to end when the event is over. These conversations have to last as long as the lessons learned are embedded in their everyday lives.”

This year’s keynote speakers include Mikey Hood, host of KDKA-TV’s Pittsburgh Today Live, and Barry Dunbar, a double amputee, military veteran, and owner of BFIIT Boxing Gym, who will share powerful messages of perseverance and strength.
