The Foundation for Art & Healing Launches the 10th Anniversary Season of Project UnLonely Films

Celebrated Actor and Director Steve Buscemi returns as Ambassador for Project UnLonely Films

NEW YORK, May 12, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — This year marks the 10th anniversary season of Project UnLonely Films, the nation’s largest campaign harnessing the power of short films to raise awareness of loneliness as a public health crisis, reduce stigma, and spark conversations that help people connect. Season 10 will feature more than 30 short films and will premiere online on June 8, 2026.

“What Project UnLonely Films has done is put a name to loneliness—and show how we can help ourselves and others feel UnLonely.” – Steve Buscemi.

Since The Foundation for Art & Healing launched Project UnLonely Films in 2016, the project has grown into a vibrant collection of more than 150 short films about the many paths to belonging. Unlike other film programs, Project UnLonely Films was designed with a public health mission at its core: using storytelling to help individuals and communities understand and navigate loneliness—an epidemic that Gallup reports affects nearly 25% of adults worldwide.

“Loneliness is a biologic signal. Just like thirst tells us we need water, loneliness tells us we need human connection,” says Jeremy Nobel, MD, MPH, founder of The Foundation for Art & Healing and author of the book, Project UnLonely: Healing Our Crisis of Disconnection. “Films engage, inspire, empower, and connect us, offering an accessible way to unpack this universal experience and remind us that we can turn to each other for support.”

Adding to Project UnLonely Films’ impact is an A-list team of film industry supporters, including celebrated actor and director and Project UnLonely Films Ambassador, Steve Buscemi, and former Lionsgate President of Production Mike Paseornek, who lend their voices to the campaign. “What Project UnLonely Films has done,” Buscemi notes, “is put a name to loneliness—and show how we can help ourselves and others feel UnLonely.”

Over the past decade, community partners ranging from Harvard University and the Art Institute of Chicago to grassroots coalitions in towns like Medicine Hat, Alberta have embraced Project UnLonely Films wholeheartedly. Screenings throughout the U.S. and Canada have sparked vital conversations across age groups and backgrounds. One community leader shared that her screening “inspired thoughtful dialogue about the need to reach out and connect with others, even when it’s difficult.”

In addition to community-based organizations, individual online viewers find the Project UnLonely Films collection useful and reassuring. One subscriber shared, “Thank you for this resource! I feel better knowing that loneliness is not just MY personal problem.”

The 10th anniversary season will feature 30+ short films and will launch on June 8, 2026 on The Foundation for Art & Healing website. Not only will the launch mark a meaningful milestone, but it will also showcase exciting upcoming offerings, from film-based workshops for colleges and universities and community-based organizations in NYC, as well as creative wellbeing resources for filmmakers.

Viewers may join the Project UnLonely Films community at www.artandhealing.org/puf-get-access to watch short films for free and also receive updates on the launch of Season 10.

In HelloNation, Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout Explain How Pet Rehab Relieves Pain and Builds Strength

Published

The article explains how veterinary rehabilitation supports recovery, improves mobility, and helps pets maintain long-term function after injury or illness.

KEARNEY, Neb., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What are the real benefits of pet rehabilitation for pets recovering from surgery, injury, or chronic health conditions? HelloNation answers that question in a HelloNation article featuring insights from Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout of Kearney, Nebraska. The article explains how pet rehab combines targeted exercises, therapeutic treatments, and medical oversight to improve healing, restore mobility, and enhance quality of life for animals at every stage of recovery.

The HelloNation article explains that rehabilitation is more than a way to help pets recover after surgery. It describes a personalized process that addresses pain, weakness, balance, and mobility while helping pets regain confidence in their movement. By tailoring rehabilitation plans to each animal’s condition and progress, veterinary teams can support safer, more effective healing and reduce the likelihood of future injuries.

According to the article, pet rehab often includes carefully supervised therapeutic exercises designed to rebuild muscle strength and improve joint function. Activities such as controlled leash walking, range-of-motion exercises, and core strengthening help pets regain movement while protecting healing tissues. The article notes that these exercises are adjusted throughout recovery to match each pet’s changing abilities and medical needs.

The article also describes several supportive therapies that work alongside exercise to improve comfort and healing. Hydrotherapy allows dogs to exercise with less stress on their joints while strengthening muscles and improving endurance. Laser therapy is highlighted as another treatment that can reduce discomfort and support tissue healing. Together, these therapies help pets participate more comfortably in the rehabilitation process while promoting steady progress.

Beyond post-surgical recovery, the HelloNation article explains that rehabilitation can play an important role in managing chronic orthopedic and neurological conditions. Pets living with arthritis, vestibular disease, or other progressive disorders may benefit from exercises that improve balance, coordination, and stability. The article describes how these therapies help many animals maintain independence and enjoy daily activities for longer periods despite ongoing medical challenges.

Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout also emphasize in the article that successful rehabilitation extends beyond appointments at the veterinary clinic. Pet owners become active participants by learning safe techniques to continue prescribed exercises at home. The article explains that this partnership helps reinforce progress made during therapy sessions while reducing the risk of setbacks or re-injury between visits.

The HelloNation article further notes that regular monitoring allows rehabilitation plans to evolve as pets improve. Adjustments to exercise intensity, treatment frequency, and therapeutic goals ensure that each stage of recovery reflects the pet’s current condition rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. This individualized care helps maximize both comfort and long-term function.

Throughout the article, Veterinary Experts Drs. Brandon and Paola Beebout demonstrate how pet rehab serves a wide range of patients, from animals recovering after orthopedic surgery to those living with chronic disease. The article concludes that combining medical supervision with customized therapy and owner involvement creates stronger outcomes by helping pets regain mobility, manage pain, and maintain healthier, more active lives.

Chainguard Joins AWS Security Hub Extended as Supply Chain Partner

Chainguard Libraries enables AWS customers to protect open source dependencies with malware-free packages rebuilt from verified source

KIRKLAND, Wash., Aug. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Chainguard, the trusted source for open source, today announced its availability through AWS Security Hub Extended as a Partner in the new Supply Chain category. Through AWS Security Hub Extended, customers can access Chainguard Libraries to help protect against software supply chain threats by replacing public open source dependencies with malware-free, secure-by-default alternatives. This creates a simpler path to reducing software supply chain risk by integrating trusted open source software directly into customers’ existing Amazon Web Services (AWS) security operations workflows.

Addressing a growing attack surface in open source software

As AI-assisted attacks continue to increase in frequency and sophistication, organizations face growing risk from compromised open source packages entering development environments. Tools that scan packages at build or runtime are not designed to keep up with the threat. More than 98% of malware ships as a pre-built package with no matching source code — a malicious version goes live, gets pulled into builds around the world within hours, and the damage is done well before any scanner flags it. Chainguard Libraries secures dependencies before they enter customer environments, helping teams move from reactive detection to proactive prevention. Instead of pulling packages directly from public repositories, organizations consume open source packages rebuilt from verified source code in the Chainguard Factory, the company’s isolated build environment. This approach helps prevent malicious packages from reaching developers, CI/CD pipelines, and production systems.

“Open source is the foundation the world’s software is built on. When that ecosystem gets compromised, the blast radius is enormous,” said Patrick Donahue, Senior Vice President of Product, Chainguard. “AWS adding us as a partner for supply chain security with the Extended plan is a real signal that the industry is treating this problem with the seriousness it deserves. Chainguard delivers that protection to customers with open source that’s trustworthy by default.”

Chainguard’s inclusion in AWS Security Hub Extended allows AWS customers to:

Purchase Chainguard Libraries through their existing AWS contract with no long-term commitment and Enterprise Discount Program (EDP) discounts automatically applied;Reduce procurement complexity while preserving direct access to each provider’s domain expertise by consolidating solution usage into one bill;View centralized findings based on the Open Cybersecurity Schema Framework (OCSF) alongside AWS and partner security findings within Security Hub;And receive unified Level 1 from AWS for Enterprise Support customers.

Chainguard’s role in AWS Security Hub Extended

Through AWS Security Hub Extended, Chainguard Libraries serves as a malware-free catalog of language dependencies, replacing reliance on public registries like PyPI, Maven Central, and npm. Every package is rebuilt from verified source in Chainguard’s SLSA Level 3 build environment and delivered with signed provenance and SBOMs. By preventing malicious packages from entering customer environments and reducing exposure to known Python vulnerabilities, Chainguard helps organizations strengthen software supply chain security while maintaining developer productivity.

AWS customers can access Chainguard Libraries through AWS Security Hub Extended. Log into the AWS Security Hub console and select the Extended plan. Choose Chainguard and follow the guided onboarding experience to subscribe and configure Chainguard Libraries within your environment.
