Mental Health in the wake of Newtown, CT

I was recently quoted in this article....

New year, new moves! But the best way to make the most of the New Year is to change right when the inspiration hits. I think you are more likely to stick to your goals at that moment. And remember, if you falter, it's okay to start over. Click to read the January 2013 Newsletter

Call To Arms for Mental Health Care

This article is actually about parenting, and how we have set up this nuclear family system which puts a lot of pressure on two people to parent. We live in houses with a mom, a dad, two kids, and a dog. This is America. But, in many ways this secular American system, though it looks ideal it sets us up for failure too often. Nuclear families are lost and lonely, struggling to find support in the midst of economic crisis like unemployment, in times of hardship which lead to divorce and in times of illness. When we divide up into little ricky-tacky families we seclude ourselves from society. Behind closed doors we stay connected via the internet, the phone, the TV, but what we forget is that when the time comes we need human interaction to get through the harder times.

I think the mental health profession was created in many ways to support this lifestyle, so why do so many people see mental health work as the end to a means when things are not going well? I say, utilize it!  Read my article about parenting and mental health care here. 

The New Years Rock Bottom Article

Well it's 2013, and I know most of you have some new year's resolutions you'd like to get started on. I start a lot of my resolutions however, year round, when the epiphany hits. This article was written shortly before new years, but you know, it applies to every day of the year. If you want to make a change, why not start now.

Hitting rock bottom doesn't mean you have to wait until Monday, or New Years Day or what have you to start something new, when you are ready to make a change, do it then and there. Putting something off until the first day of a new month, week or year is just postponing the enivitable and is purported with fear. Do it today!!
