Mental Health Care Employees Rip Treatment of FLDS Mormon Sect
2008-05-12 19:14:00 When one first reads the headlines of this Houston Chronicle story it seems the mental health community is making war with Texas Child Protective Services over the poor treatment of the FLDS Mormon sect. But reading into the article further one finds that this is really about nine employees who work for a private mental health care agency called Mental Health - Mental Retardation Center (MHMRC) which seem to have ties with Baptist preacher Kevin Dinnin.May I remind you that this is not just Texas this is West Texas where David Koresh is still a hero and clearing brush with Jesus is the major pastime. The area has a religious agenda promoting that anything with Jesus involved is good and any wall between Church and State is evil. These FDLS women, who have individually sold their underage daughters to old married men for sex, and collectively been part of a conspiracy to do so, should have long ago had their pastel frontier garb (with prayers for the end of the world stitche in the s...

2008-05-11 14:46:00 Hey I bet you are saying to yourself what does love got to do with it? That my friend is simple, it?s got everything to do with it! You can?t stand there and tell me or even sit there and tell me that love doesn?t have or play a huge roll in your life!It has everything to do with you. You want to find a mate and be loved, don?t you? Say yes, because I know this to be true. Now why is it are primal interest to love and be loved? When Adam was alone in the Garden of Eden, he got lonely and God in his infinite wisdom, decide to make Adam a mate, from his own rib even.Now why would Adam become lonely in the Garden of Eden, a perfect place? Now do you see were the very first love and be loved took place? That?s right with the very first person and God agreed with him, so he really must have been lonely and wanted to be loved!Now we know for a fact that God loved Adam and perfectly I might add, but why was that not good enough for the human race? It?s simple he felt the need to be loved b...

Trauma: Emotional & Psychological
2008-05-11 06:57:00 Causes, Symptoms, Effects, and Treatment Trauma. The word brings to mind the effects of such major events as war, rape, kidnapping, abuse, torture, or other similar assault. The emotional aftermath of such events, recognized by the medical and psychological communities, and increasingly by the general public, is known as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Now there is a new field of investigation that is less familiar, even to professionals: emotional or psychological trauma.Recent research has revealed that emotional trauma can result from such common occurrences as an auto accident, the breakup of a significant relationship, a humiliating or deeply disappointing experience, the discovery of a life-threatening illness or disabling condition, or other similar situations. Traumatizing events can take a serious emotional toll on those involved, even if the event did not cause physical damage.Regardless of its source, an emotional trauma contains three common elements:it was unexpe...

National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day is May 8, 2008: "help kids
2008-05-08 12:46:00 Mister Rogers would dispense this simple advice on this very special day: Give unconditional love - Children need to know that your love does not depend on their accomplishments.Nurture confidence and self-esteem - Praise and encourage your children. Set realistic goals. Be honest about your mistakes and avoid sarcasm. Encourage play - Play time is as important to a child's development as food. Play helps children be creative, develop problem-solving skills and self-control, and learn how to get along with others. Enroll children in after-school activities - This is a great way for kids to stay productive, learn something new, gain self-esteem and have something to look forward to during the week. If they are home alone, check in on them after school. Children need to know that even if you're not there physically, you're thinking about them, and interested in how they spend their day. Provide a safe and secure environment - Fear can be very real for a child. Try to fi...

Virtual Communities and the Mental Health Profession
2008-04-23 15:18:00 This article is part three of a series of five that explores interesting, unique and noteworthy trends in the mental health profession. Examining these changes often brings about exciting opportunities if we, as clinicians, are able to look at these new service offerings and competitive influences in unique and creative ways.Virtual Communities and the Use of the Social Networking ModelThe Internet began simply as a way to display and find information. This information was presented in a static manner, meaning there was no functionality - only data. Today's Internet has evolved into a dynamic social medium where people come together to share ideas, meet one another, build relationships and offer support. The impact of social networking sites such as MySpace, Facebook and LinkedIn has had a powerful effect on the World Wide Web, and this model has now made its way into the area of mental health.One example of this trend at a regional level involves a woman who started a Yahoo Group ...

The Problems In Running A Mental Health Blog
2008-04-19 17:00:00 Over the last few days I have visited quite a few mental health blogs and a number of them are either really slowing down in the number of post or have announced that they are taking a hiatus. I think that every mental health blog tells a unique story and can go along way in the fighting the stigma of mental illness but there are consequences to maintaining a personal mental health site.1. I find to really connect with the reader it is important to share all of the facts and the emotions regarding a specific event or events. The problem with this is focusing on the past can bring up emotions that may have not been properly dealt with and send the monster back into motion. On more then one occasion I have started a post that I felt was important to cover but realized half way through that this was not a good idea for me mentally.2.

Mental Health Day
2008-04-15 08:22:00 Wednesday morning was wet. The rain on the tin roof of my turn of the century flat sounded soothing snugged under the warmth and comfort of the duvet. It wouldn’t be cold out of bed, but it wouldn’t be the welcome to the day I wanted. Out of smokes, small change, clean shirts and coffee. The alarm announced office hours, but I just kept buying a fifteen minute snooze ’til well after nine. I didn’t want to play today. Bed sounded best so I sent in a sickie text. The time finally came to climb out of the pit in the early afternoon. My Chemical Romance announced a call around midday. “Paul speaking.” “’Sis Pete.

2008-04-04 15:07:00 The number of mental health courts in the United States has steadily grown from a mere four in 1997 to over 175, according to Council of State Government Justice Center estimates.Yet, because of the diversity of program models and their relative newness, there have not been any nationally accepted criteria for effective mental health courts, mental health advocates say.The Justice Center, a watchdog group, addresses that issue in an updated edition of its paper "Improving Responses to People with Mental Illnesses: The Essential Elements of a Mental Health Court."The report can be viewed by clicking here.The publication is the result of many rounds of rigorous review and describes the 10 important program elements that jurisdictions should consider when planning, implementing or enhancing a mental health court.This latest edition of details the aspects of mental health court design and implementation that can be consistently found in successful courts.“As communities across the cou...

Mental Health Days
2008-03-27 16:39:00 I think I invented these things. A mental health day. It’s a day when you just take time off from everything and take care of you AND you don’t feel bad about it. I try to incorporate them into my life on a pretty regular basis because I think that mental health is as important as our physical health. For my mental health days, I have even in the past, skipped the exercise. That is changing though. From now on, I am not skipping on the exercise because somehow, I have done well lately and my runs aren’t killing me, I am feeling way more flexible and there is no way that I am stopping and possibly dealing with a setback now. You see, I have exactly 6 pounds to lose to hit my original goal. That is when I promised myself a new wardrobe. Queenie likes to shop. A. Lot. I figured that 50 pounds would have me needing new clothes badly. It is amazing to me how long you can drape yoga pants over a rapidly shrinking body though.

"Earlier this year, Secretary of Defense Gates charged me with being the guarantor of quality healthcare for service members, retirees and their families," said Dr. S.

"Quality healthcare is the Secretary's top goal, apart from the war itself."The DOD first discussed its "MHS Strategic Plan" at a Washington D.C. conference in January.

When your Partner Doesn?t Talk
2008-03-20 23:52:00 Why do women need to hear men talk? Easy, because women are social. But, men do not need to 'take it.' My husband has times when I can bug him and talk. He also set a timme limit. I can talk about anything I want, and he will listen, for 1 hour, before 10PM. This means he turns the television off and looks at me.Now, this is a win-win situation. I no longer wake him up crying at night, something that makes him frustrated and angry - because he can't fix it. He also doesn't have me become so frustrated that I wake him at 3am to talk for 3 hours. I get my chance to let it out - when he is not frustrated. I have learned that this is a gift he gives me, so I try to keep it short, and I try not to talk for more than once a week. I also make sure I don't interrupt a sports event.

Some Useful Tips for a Successful Relationship
2008-03-19 23:04:00 I remember listening to the radio one day while my husband and I had a long car trip. Hour after hour the men on the radio cried over the fact that their wives left them. I turned to my husband and said "You know, if they put 1/2 the effort into their wives and they are doing crying over losing them - they'd still be married.' My husband paused, but had to agree. Men have the bad habit of investing more time into crying over lost love than they put into keeping their marriage. It is something to think about.Some Useful Tips for a Successful RelationshipMany people are using online dating as an alternative to meeting new people, people we would never have met had it not been for online dating.

How To Win a Woman's Love
2008-03-18 23:12:00 I once talked to a famous marriage therapist who said that 'once a woman decides to leave, there is no winning her back.' He didn't say this to disparage women, but to remind men that women do not forgive indefinitely. They do have limits. Women were forgiving, but they won't be treated like a door mat forever. The time to 'save your marriage' is long before you find how far she will let you push her.

Learn to Be a Caring Person
2008-03-18 23:08:00 If you do not want to care about the people in your lives, then your relationships are doomed to fail. Do you really believe that someone wants to marry you - just to feed your selfish needs with nothing in return? No emotionally healthy woman marries to have someone else 'pay the bills.'I once heard a public speaker say 'if you want to know why your relationships are not working - look in the mirror.'This is so true. If you are not attracting emotionally healthy people, then you are not emotionally healthy. Before trying to 'fix' the other person - try fixing yourself. The School of Caring: Learning to Be a Caring PersonIt is a loaded question, but one that will determine how you deal with others, particularly with the women you wish to get to know better, date, and eventually enjoy romantic times with.

Healthy Aging and Marriage
2008-03-18 22:40:00 I don't really do compatability tests. You are either interested in creating a relationship, or you just want to manipulate others to get your own way. But, aging can cause problems. What happens if one person has a stroke? The other person may be forced into a caregiver's roll they are not prepared to handle. After all - not all of use are born nurses.There are so many health problems that can destroy a marriage, leaving one person a widower while the other is still alive. I hope you never understand the truth behind that statement.Healthy Aging and MarriageAging is a fact of life; nothing that we do or say can really change this fact.

Emotional Triggers in Relationships
2008-03-17 05:55:00 The first step to emotional health is to be able to understand, and identify, emotional triggers. An emotional trigger is something you may never notice. It can be a hand motion, a setting, a word. It is something that takes you back to a traumatic time. It causes you to hurt those around you - without understanding why. Admitting that you have triggers is the first step. Learning about them, and sharing them with your family is step two. Giving them the power to help you overcome their power is the last step. All three together will take you to a place where you are emotionally healthier and enjoy better relationships.Emotional Triggers in RelationshipsMost of the anxiety and frustration that exists in relationships can be avoided. The key is to be aware of the emotional triggers that each and every one of us possesses.

Our Emotional Triggers
2008-03-17 05:51:00 Admiting that we are not the person we 'think' we see in the mirror is the first step to emotional health and happiness. I knew one many who wanted to be loved.
