We detail the ways in which Wells Fargo used the tenets of the discourse of renewal and resilience communication to respond to its financial crises. To do so, we completed a thematic analysis of Well Fargo's website and commercials. Specifically, we found that Wells Fargo relied on its organizational history to communicate renewal. In doing, so Wells Fargo (1) created a paradoxical timeline of events that puts alternative logic to work and (2) drew on established identity anchors. We therefore conclude that discourse of renewal can integrate past-orientation and address organizational identity work with theoretical basis. By combining these two frameworks and applying them to a real-world crisis context, we make important contributions to the continued development of both the discourse of renewal and resilience communication.

Background:Research impact is at least partly generated through collaborative interactions, yet the associations between knowledge production and impact are far more complex than relatively simple linear models generally describe.
Aims and objectives:In this case study, we focus on a community-university partnership and try to answer the question, 'What are the conditions that facilitate or hinder successful collaborative interactions aimed towards solving a shared challenge between partners from different organisations?'
Methods:A set of four co-creation sessions with diverse stakeholders was organised with the aim of tackling the nuisance caused by youth in a specific deprived neighbourhood in Belgium. The sessions were video-recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed following a Grounded Theory (GT) approach to develop theoretical understandings of the process of knowledge production and research impact.
Findings:Roles and mandates of individual stakeholder representatives determine (and hinder) their access to (confidential) information, but also their visibility and accessibility towards youth as end users. Achieving positive outcomes through collaboration was perceived by stakeholders as slowly evolving towards small successes, and was facilitated by being able to accept failure, working in a climate of trust, developing a shared identity, managing expectations, informally sharing information, and being able to connect with youth.
Discussion and conclusions:We reflect on the importance of overcoming organisational asymmetries in collaborative interactions through installing feedback loops, and through the particular roles of boundary organisations, boundary objects, and practical tools that can help steer iterative collaborative interactions towards positive impact.

Integrated behavioral healthcare is becoming increasingly important and central to social work practice as the healthcare field shifts from a solely disease model of health to a more holistic approach. Researchers have also noted the need for studies demonstrating effective models for incorporating integrated healthcare training into schools of social work. Studies that demonstrate the effects of integrated training have the potential to provide legitimacy to these training programs, an important step in furthering their adoption within schools of social work in the United States and abroad. The training program described here was designed to increase the number of MSW social workers who provide trauma-informed, culturally relevant, evidence-based behavioral health prevention and intervention practices at integrated healthcare settings. This study used a pre- and post-survey design with non-participating MSW students as a control group. Findings indicate significant increases in knowledge, skills, and attitudes for training participants. A recommendation for further research is to explore to what extent graduates transfer their enhanced knowledge to the workplace.

Abstract
This study drew from literature on organizational socialization, namely an early phase called vocational anticipatory socialization (VAS), to examine the sources of information from which young adults learn about retirement, the meanings they ascribe to retirement, and associations between sources of retirement information and meanings. In study 1, quantitative content analysis was used to code 671 responses from young adults. In study 2, semi-structured interviews with 16 young adults were conducted and abductively analyzed. Results revealed 16 sources of information about retirement with grandparents and parents emerging as primary sources, and 13 meanings of retirement (e.g., freedom from work, financial issues, how time is spent, life phase, physical decline) that can be combined to construct negative or positive framings. In addition, chi-square analyses indicated significant associations between some source-meaning combinations in study 1, whereas study 2 revealed the nature of explicit and implicit advice from family members. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

CONTEXT: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered the "signature" injury of veterans returning from wartime conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. While moderate/severe TBI is associated with pituitary dysfunction, this association has not been well established in the military setting and in mild TBI (mTBI). Screening for pituitary dysfunction resulting from TBI in veteran populations is inconsistent across Veterans Affairs (VA) institutions, and such dysfunction often goes unrecognized and untreated. OBJECTIVE: This work aims to report the experience of a pituitary clinic in screening for and diagnosis of pituitary dysfunction. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted in a US tertiary care center of veterans referred to the VA Puget Sound Healthcare System pituitary clinic with a history of TBI at least 12 months prior. Main outcome measures included demographics, medical history, symptom burden, baseline hormonal evaluation, brain imaging, and provocative testing for adrenal insufficiency (AI) and adult-onset growth hormone deficiency (AGHD). RESULTS: Fatigue, cognitive/memory problems, insomnia, and posttraumatic stress disorder were reported in at least two-thirds of the 58 patients evaluated. Twenty-two (37.9%) were diagnosed with at least one pituitary hormone deficiency, including 13 (22.4%) AI, 12 (20.7%) AGHD, 2 (3.4%) secondary hypogonadism, and 5 (8.6%) hyperprolactinemia diagnoses; there were no cases of thyrotropin deficiency. CONCLUSION: A high prevalence of chronic AI and AGHD was observed among veterans with TBI. Prospective, larger studies are needed to confirm these results and determine the effects of hormone replacement on long-term outcomes in this setting.
