Patrick Kennedy and CCAR Executive Director, Phil Valentine

“This is a pivotal moment for the Recovery Movement – worldwide. Awareness is growing and people are flocking to the message of hope that Recovery provides. CCAR is honored to be in a position to bring together such a diverse group of leaders and people in Recovery.”


HARTFORD, Conn. (PRWEB)

The Connecticut Community for Addiction Recovery (CCAR) is a non-profit that was founded in 1998. Since then, the organization has grown into an international presence in the Recovery Movement. Though CCAR has held their National Conference for four years, the present state of the opioid crisis conveys another level of importance to this diverse gathering of leaders and people in Recovery.

The Conference, held in Punta Gorda, Florida, draws attendees from all over the world – many of whom work in the Recovery field, are in Recovery, or are allies of the Recovery Movement. Some attendees may just be curious about Recovery, others may attend to simply hear the moving speeches or participate in the outdoor events. No matter how one approaches the conference, the scope of experience and expertise represented not only in conference presenters, but in attendees as well, is humbling.

In addition to keynote speeches and appearances from Patrick Kennedy, William White, Don Coyhis, Haner Hernández, Mark Lundholm, Shannon Egan, Ryan Hampton and many others – conference participants will be able to attend a variety of diverse workshops and panels facilitated by experts. Focus will be on the Multiple Pathways of Recovery, Self Care, Recovery Advocacy, and Recovery Coaching. These workshops can include anything from practicing Yoga as a pathway of Recovery to a panel on Medication Assisted Treatment.

The conference kicks off on November 13, 2019, is a 3-day affair, and costs $250 to attend. Participants are able to chart their own path during the conference, with the ability to pick from a variety of different workshops, speeches, or activities at any given time. Space is limited and the event is expected to sell out. Those interested in learning more or registering for the event can visit The Conference Website

At a time where communities are searching for solutions to the substance crisis gripping our nation, this event is a place where some answers could be found.

WINSTON SALEM, N.C. (PRWEB)

Wanda Peterkin has completed her new book “God in Eve”: a spiritual awakening directed to women to become closer to God.

According to Peterkin, “Visiting, working, or leisure time at any public or private conference can lead to the observation of women from all walks of faith. Each dealing with everyday issues of life. The first trait you will notice is their smile. Next is their characteristics. They are a dynasty of peculiar women connected to one—God.”

Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Wanda Peterkin’s inspiring work describes how the ornament was first existing in Eve. Eve left the legacy to all women.

Their attributes are all the same. Those attributes are the fruit of the spirit. Their outside beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Their inner beauty is adorned with the ornament of God’s light. They are blessed. They are more valuable than rubies. They are anointed with the power of God to handle all trials and tribulations that their life journey retained them in. Women are born with this ornament; however, for it to be enhanced, she must transform her thinking and give her life to God to receive the full rewards of his kingdom. Read how these attributes are obtained.

Readers who wish to experience this inspirational work can purchase “God in Eve” at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play or Barnes and Noble.

Virtual Reality (VR) May Provide More Effective Approach to Teaching Children with Dyslexia

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

According to recent studies, one of the biggest strengths of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) is their ability to give students real world immersive experiences that could make learning both more memorable and more meaningful. But can virtual reality improve a dyslexic child’s reading experience?

Based on case studies from numerous users and extensive classroom sessions both instructing children and observing their experiences of learning through VR, the principals of the Lyfta digital platform have concluded that education content presented in a Virtual Reality format is more intuitive and memorable for learners.

In a new interview with C.M. Rubin, Founder of CMRubinWorld, Educators Serdar Ferit and Katri Meriläinen report that teachers found “children are able to construct factual connections above their normal level when learning about phenomena in a contextualised environment.” Lyfta is conducting academic research in collaboration with two Finnish universities to understand the full potential of VR for dyslexic children. “The preliminary results show that a purposefully designed VR environment can significantly improve dyslexic children’s reading experience.”

EduCare Announces NEW Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook

Leave a comment



CHARLESTON, S.C. (PRWEB)

For years, recurrent and metastatic breast cancer patients have often felt overlooked. Metastatic breast cancer patients live each day with an incurable disease and must face ongoing treatment regimens as well as intense physical, psychological and emotional issues. Author, Judy C. Kneece, RN, OCN, is excited to release the new Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook. She wrote this book to not only educate women about treatments for recurrent and metastatic breast cancer, but just as importantly, she writes about the personal side – the fears, the sorrows, the pain and the choices a woman faces after hearing her diagnosis.

Judy C. Kneece, RN, OCN, states, “This book is about helping you, a recurrent or metastatic patient, take charge of decisions about your life. It offers no guarantees, but it does promise you can live your life fully while dealing with recurrent/metastatic breast cancer if you decide to. You choose what actions you will take – you can make no mistakes. In this area, you are the expert.” Her goal is to provide a woman the tools she needs to live her life to the fullest, while fighting this battle.

Based on the premise that well-informed patients make the best patients, the Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook covers cancer treatment (types of recurrence, treatment decisions, second opinions, surgical options, reconstruction options, treatment medications and radiation therapy), emotional issues (facing anxiety and depression, helping children cope, communicating with the healthcare team, creating a support team, facing death) and ongoing treatment issues (pain management, insurance, diet and exercise, sexuality problems). The book also has a comprehensive appendix that explains diagnostic tests, chemotherapy drugs and clinical trials.

In her review of the book, Beth Baughman DuPree, MD, FACS, ABOIM wrote, “This handbook will help you navigate the medical, emotional and spiritual challenges you are about to face. Metastatic breast cancer is a ‘chronic disease’ and there is no way to know what path your cancer journey will follow. Releasing fear and finding peace allows each moment of your life to be savored and appreciated. This is an invaluable guide for every woman facing a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis.”

EduCare Inc., a dedicated breast health education company, was founded in January 1994 by Judy C. Kneece, RN, OCN. For more than 25 years, EduCare has been a leader in providing the highest quality breast health educational materials for patients and healthcare providers and in offering continuing training to healthcare professionals.

The Recurrent and Metastatic Breast Cancer Treatment Handbook may be purchased directly through EduCare at http://www.EduCareInc.com or by phone at 843.760.6064. It is also available on Amazon.

Teen Drivers Can Get Better Rates And Save Car Insurance Money Really Easy

Leave a comment


News Image

“Being a teen usually means more expensive car insurance premiums. However, there are few ways to keep premiums under control and even lower them”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that explains how to get better car insurance premiums as a teen.

Teens are unanimously considered high-risk drivers by all insurance companies. However, not all insurers treat teens the same way. Some insurers offer access to more discounts, devices that will lower the costs or customized contracts. It is important to get online quotes and compare prices. This is the only way to shop around for cheaper car insurance.

For more info and free car insurance quotes online, visit http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/teen-drivers-and-car-insurance-rates/

Smart ways to reduce car insurance costs;


  •     Enroll in defensive driving courses. Getting more knowledge about traffic hazards and proper defensive driving techniques and tips will help the driver get better rates. The insurance company must be notified after graduating. When getting online quotes, the questionnaire will also ask about recently graduated courses. If the answer is “yes”, the user will receive a discount. Furthermore, some states allow those who graduated to offset a number of license points.

  •     Get a safe car to drive. A car with a powerful engine is expensive to insure. And combining that with a relatively inexperienced driver will make premiums sky-rocket. As a rule of thumb, teens who want better rates should avoid sports car, powerful SUV cars and performance-boosted, customized cars. Medium-sized models, with some safety features included, are more suitable.

  •     Sign a customized contract. Some insurance companies allow teen drivers to sign a customized contract, with specific rules exclusions. The teen will be obliged to always wear a seatbelt, to avoid DUI/DWI, avoid speeding, customizing the car without insurer’s approval and many other terms.

  •     Use telematics. Some prestigious companies also enable their teen drivers to join their usage-based programs. If the policyholder shows good driving habits, his premiums will be customized and lowered, so they can reflect better his skills and driving habits.

Experts Present Several Ways To Protect Against Car Thieves And Lower Car Insurance Rates

Leave a comment


News Image

“Preventing car theft is easier than it may seem. Follow the tips we have offered and you will not have to worry about your car being stolen”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Compare-autoinsurance.org has released a new blog post that explains how to protect a car against theft, thus reducing car insurance premiums.

Car theft is still a major problem in the United States. Although the number of stolen cars has decreased (due to modern devices and tracking systems), there are still hundreds of thousands of cars reported stolen each year. Drivers should take preemptive measures in order to reduce the risk of having their cars stolen. Find out more and get free car insurance quotes from https://compare-autoinsurance.org/6-steps-to-lowering-your-risk-of-car-theft/


  •     Equip the vehicle with loud alarms. A noisy alarm system is a strong deterrent to thieves. Rookie-thieves will certainly get scared.

  •     Install mechanical immobilizers. There are many systems on the market that will make the car inoperable without the proper remove control or access card. Look for killswitch systems or systems that require smart keys. Furthermore, some car manufacturers have developed biometric reading systems, like fingerprint entry or ignition start with fingerprint reading.

  •     Stop the engine before leaving the car. Do not let the car with the engine running while unattended, even for a short time. A car with the running engine is a top target for vigilant thieves


.

  •     Do not let valuables exposed to plain sight. Cars with really valuable belongings exposed suddenly become more appealing to thieves. They will certainly do their best to reach expensive smartphones, jewelry or really price entertainment systems.

  •     Park the car in a safe spot, preferably in a garage or well-monitored parking lot. It is recommended to park the car in areas under camera surveillance and with proper public lighting.

  •     Install tracking systems. Modern GPS tracking systems will help police officers track a car with pinpoint accuracy, should it be stolen.
