Who We Are
IKRON (Integration of Knowledge and Resources for Occupational Needs) is a Cincinnati-based organization founded in 1969, providing integrated behavioral health and employment services to adults and youth. A Picture's Worth (APW) is a Cincinnati-based nonprofit dedicated to ethical, trauma-informed storygathering. We are partnering on the Strengths at Work project to lift up the strengths of the IKRON community.
What You're Agreeing To
By submitting your story, you are granting IKRON and A Picture's Worth permission to use your audio recording, selfie photograph, and identifying information (first name, last initial) in connection with IKRON's mission-driven communications.
Your story may be used in: IKRON's website and social media channels, program materials, grant reports, donor communications, in-person events and presentations, printed materials, and APW's storytelling work on IKRON's behalf. With your consent, your story may also be shared with IKRON-approved partners such as funders and press.
About Editing
We may lightly edit your audio for clarity — trimming pauses, removing background noise, or choosing a specific excerpt for a shorter format. We will never alter the substance or meaning of what you said. If a piece feels like a significant re-framing, we will reach out to you before publishing.
What We Will Never Do
We will never sell your story or personal information to third parties. We will never use your story to train AI models. We will never use your story in a context that misrepresents your intent or experience. We will never share your full contact information (email, phone) publicly.
Your Rights
You retain ownership of your story. You may request removal from any or all uses at any time by contacting elissa@apicturesworth.org. Removal requests are honored within 30 days, except where materials have already been printed or installed.
How We Store Your Data
Your audio recording, selfie, and contact information are encrypted in transit and at rest. Only authorized IKRON staff and APW staff have access to your submission. We follow best practices for data protection.
Trauma-Informed Approach
APW practices trauma-informed storygathering. You are never required to share more than you are comfortable with. You may stop your recording at any time. If you share something difficult, we may reach out to ensure you have access to support resources.
