Extractions: The next time a Fargo-Moorhead school counselor or psychologist is concerned whether one of their students may need to see a child psychiatrist, they can ask a virtual psychiatrist for the answer. A revolutionary new computer program, called the Voice DISC, doesn't replace a real psychiatrist, but when you sit in front of the screen and listen to the computer ask questions in a soothing, studio recorded voice, you wonder when it might. There are roughly ten million children and adolescents in the United States with significant emotional or behavioral disorders, and six thousand child psychiatrists. Thats about one child psychiatrist per 1700 kids. At two hours per evaluation, every child psychiatrist in the country doing little else could assess these kids over the course of about two years. But in the mean time none of them would have received treatment or follow-up! Even more problematic, most kids who seriously need help aren't identified, and many who are end up not receiving services. Around 70% of youth who are actively depressed and/or thinking about suicide are not receiving treatment. By next fall, thanks to a community-wide collaboration with the Center for the Advancement of Childrens Mental Health at Columbia University, New York City, students in the Fargo-Moorhead area will have access to the Voice DISC, and a community-wide strategy to identify children and adolescents at risk and coordinate resources for intervention.

Extractions: To Netnews Homepage Previous Next Index ... Table of Contents Esoteric Psychology II - Chapter II - The Ray of Personality - Some Problems of Psychology Problems of Guidance, Dreams, and Depression I am dealing with these problems because of their exceeding prevalence at this time, due to the activities of various religiously or psychologically motivated groups, to the trend of certain schools, dedicated to the spread of religion or of psychology, and to the present world situation which has plunged so many sensitive people into a state of lowered spiritual vitality, accompanied usually by lowered physical vitality. This condition is widespread and based on wrong economic conditions. I am dealing with these before we take up our fourth point, 'The Diseases and Problems of Mystics', as they form an intermediate group, including many intelligent and well-intentioned citizens. The Problem of Guidance it might be of profit if I indicated anew the various schools of thought who feature "guidance" or whose methods and doctrines tend to the development of an inner attentive ear, and yet who fail to teach the distinctiveness of the sources of guidance, or to differentiate between the various sounds, voices and so-called inspired indications which that attentive ear may be trained to register. The emotionally inclined people in the Churches voices his submission, but fails to recognize that the voice is his own. He regards it as God's voice. For them, the way of [483] understanding, the recognition of the great Law of Cause and Effect (working out from life to life) and the interpretation of the problem in terms or a lesson to be mastered would spell release from negativity and blind, unintelligent acceptance. Life does not demand acquiescence and acceptance. It demands activity, the separation of the good and high values from the undesirable, the cultivation of that spirit of fight which will produce organization, understanding, and eventual emergence into a realm of useful spiritual activity.
HELP Team with controlled substances or who are experiencing depression. the West Chester AreaSchool District. Assistant Principal Rita Bogard guidance Counselor Dawn http://www.wcasd.k12.pa.us/district/Schools/Stetson/Resources/Guidance/help_team
Extractions: Overview T oday's teenagers are often confronted with a variety of problems which interfere with their ability to succeed in school. The problems young people face include the use of controlled substances. Depression is another obstacle encountered by many young people. These students can be considered to be "at risk". Family problems involving drugs, alcohol or depression also establish barriers to a successful school experience. Recognizing that these students are "at risk", the West Chester Area School District has committed itself to a program which is intended to provide a means to identify students who are "at risk", and to afford them appropriate resources to resolve their problems. This commitment takes the form of the HELP Team. What is the HELP Team T he HELP Team (Hands Extended Long Term Prevention) is a program whose purpose is to identify students who are having problems in school because of drug or alcohol abuse (personal or family), or suffer from depression. The HELP Team is an intervention not treatment program. Students who are identified are then referred to appropriate agencies for help. The team provides the student and his or her family with information and resources to help the student understand and resolve the problem. The HELP Team is comprised of teachers, administrators, counselors, and school nurses. HELP Team members have undergone special training to work with these students. Is this a new idea?

Extractions: Guidance and Counseling Services Contact Person(s) - Andy Sustaita and Kaye Orr Counseling is a process of helping people by assisting them in making decisions and changing behavior. School counselors work with all students, school staff, families, and members of the community as an integral part of the education program. School counseling programs promote school success through a focus on academic achievement, prevention and intervention activities, advocacy and social / emotional and career development. (American School Counselor Association, 1997) School counselors face the challenge of preparing students to meet the expectations of higher academic standards and to become productive and contributing members of society. School counselors are actively committed to helping students understand that the choices they make will affect their future educational and career options. The purpose of the school counseling program is to impart specific skills and learning opportunities in a proactive and preventive manner which ensures that all students can achieve success through academic, career and personal / social development experiences.

Extractions: Auricular Acupuncture Although acupuncture is fairly new to this country, it has been practiced in China and other Asian countries for over 3,000 years. In this country medical doctors and acupuncturists have spent many years testing acupuncture for substance abuse, anxiety, depression, pain and other conditions. The result of this work is the treatment we use today. Acupuncture is now used successfully for a variety of problems. Five tiny needles are placed in the ear and the client rests quietly for 45 minutes. This is a good time to relax, meditate or think about changes to be made in your life. In detoxification treatment, points in the ear correspond to specific organs including lungs, liver, kidneys and the nervous system. One of the points is for relaxation. The treatment triggers the release of natural body chemicals, including endorphins, which help reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms and increase relaxation.
Extractions: Kids Newsletter Education/Transition Faith Communities Youth Services ... State/Affiliate Programs School Program Modifications A variety of useful school program modifications can be implemented to meet the needs of the adolescent bipolar patient. The development of these programs requires active collaboration between a student's clinician and school personnel. This requires identifying the teen's disorder to the appropriate educator-a process which requires student and/or parent (caregiver) consent, and which can, at times, be resisted by the adolescent or parents because of concerns regarding social stigmatization. Clinical experience indicates that a supportive, educational approach is usually most helpful for the development of an appropriate academic program involving the teen, parents/caregiver, clinician and school personnel. Additional support should be employed with a goal of helping the adolescent and family to understand the illness, its effect on academic performance, and the need for intervention. The latter may be gained from community-based support groups. From the outset, it is crucial that effective lines of communication be developed between the clinician and the patient's school. School-based guidance counselors can be invaluable advocates once they have an understanding and appreciation of the biological basis of the illness and its impact on the student's academic and psychosocial functioning. Educational personnel need to understand this is strictly not an issue of "bad behavior" and that behavior modification programs alone will not bring about success for the bipolar student.

It starts at the recognition of a loss and extends to the eventual acceptance of it. Responses will vary depending upon the circumstances associated with the death. For example, if the deceased suffered from a chronic illness, the death may have been anticipated, and may even come as a relief of suffering. If the death was accidental or violent, coming to a stage of acceptance may take longer.
