Finding an emotional balance through yoga [MyRepublica.com]

KATHMANDU: We have a tendency to continuously drift between the present and the past. Rarely do we live for the present, without really regretting the past or being anxious about the future. Similarly, qualities of our lives are dependent upon external variables. For instance, if something does not go according to our plan or goes haywire, we get disturbed inside and shelter negative emotions that impact the lives, sapping our energy in the process. The grind of day-to-day life takes a toll,...

The Mental Health Crisis Facing Women in Prison [TheMarshallProject.org]

More than two-thirds of incarcerated women in America reported having a history of mental health problems — a far higher percentage than their male counterparts, according to a study released Thursday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Although the prevalence of mental health disorders among people in prisons and jails is a well-known problem, the dramatic gender disparity exposed in the new report has been less discussed.

Trauma Can Now Be Brought To Resolution

NTHP is for when there is conflict between who we truly are and who we have become. We all have them; negative patterns that creep into our lives that prevent us from realizing our full potential. It could be anything from a chronic condition; an addiction, or simply failing to live the joyful life we know we are capable of. This shows us we are somehow out of alignment with our authentic self. The Neuro Trauma Healing Process is a person centered process that allows direct contact with the...

We all have a role to play in protecting children [TheGazette.com]

When the horrors of child maltreatment, torture, sexual abuse, or starvation strike our community, we tend to quickly look for someone to blame. The recent deaths of two 16-year-old girls in Central Iowa, Natalie Finn and Sabrina Ray, underscore the value each of us has in weaving a safety net that strengthens families and protects Iowa kids. We all have a role to play in the development of our children. This includes becoming involved in situations where children’s well-being is or can be...

OCD May Be Linked to Inflammation in the Brain: Study [Consumer.Healthday.com]

People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have high levels of brain inflammation, a discovery researchers say could lead to new treatments. In OCD, people typically have frequent, upsetting thoughts that they try to control by repeating certain rituals or behaviors, such as washing hands or checking door locks. Canadian researchers compared 20 OCD patients and a control group of 20 people without the condition. In the OCD patients, inflammation was 32 percent higher in six brain...

Destigmatizing suicide to save lives [EdSource.org]

For the first time in my career as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, I binge-watched a television show for work. The Netflix series “13 Reasons Why” tells the story of a high school student who commits suicide, and the 13 tapes she leaves behind to explain her motivation. Since its release in March, the show has received a wide range of kudos and criticisms—kudos for raising awareness about teen suicide and criticisms, rightly, for glamorizing suicide. Glorifying what is essentially a...

Pathways: The road to recovery in St. Helens [TheChronicleOnline.com]

Pathways, a treatment facility in St. Helens, is helping people get clean and sober and hopefully stay that way with the assistance of health local agencies. For decades now, Pathways has offered rehabilitation services.

Mindfulness: How Helping Myself Allowed Me to Help my Students [HuffingtonPost.com]

This past year, I served as a co-principal of Tindley Preparatory Academy, an all-boys charter school in Indianapolis. If you have ever worked in a school you understand how boys can be. Also, anyone who has worked in a middle school understands how difficult middle school can be. Imagine having both middle school and boys. Oh, did I also mention that I was a first-year principal. There were a lot of stressful, anxious days until I found mindfulness. Then it was mindfulness that helped me...

The implementation of " Housing First " strategies played a significant role in the drop, according to the statewide Point in Time count. In the nearly two years since Governor David...

How Drug Prohibition Fuels American Carnage [TheAtlantic.com]

During President Ronald Reagan’s first inaugural address, he declared that “in this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.” The populist right would do well to apply that formulation to the street violence associated with the drug trade. The War on Drugs is a decades-old federal effort that has failed as consistently and completely as any government initiative in American history. A generation has passed since National Review declared it...
