R.I.S.E Adolescent Program at The Right Step DFW

It is our hope to fill the void in adolescent treatment here in the Dallas, Fort Worth area…When we show up for them at an early age, we have the ability to break the cycle before it’s too late.

EULESS, Texas (PRWEB)
September 15, 2020

The Right Step DFW, a well-established addiction and mental health treatment center, has added a youth specific program for adolescent males ages 13-17 known as Regaining Independence & Sober Education (R.I.S.E.). By adding R.I.S.E, The Right Step DFW hopes to inspire teen boys to transform their harmful behaviors before reaching adulthood. Through comprehensive staff training, utilization of the Seven Challenges® curriculum and facility renovations, The Right Step DFW has taken purposeful steps to accommodate the needs of their incoming adolescent clients.

Young people, especially male teens, are more susceptible to the influences of drugs and alcohol through peer pressure, academic pressure or coping with mental health disorders such as trauma, depression or anxiety. Studies show that young individuals who begin abusing substances such as drugs and alcohol at a young age are more likely to continue these habits into adulthood and can progress into destructive addictive behaviors. The R.I.S.E program at The Right Step DFW uses the Seven Challenges® curriculum, which consists of comprehensive, evidence-based treatment that is tailored specifically to young minds in order to motivate teen clients toward healthier lifestyle choices. Traditional drug treatment models have little effect on teens, but this curriculum offers a unique approach to adolescent treatment by allowing young clients to evaluate their addiction and discover how to successfully change their lives. The foundation of the R.I.S.E. program utilizes relationship building practices, integrates key family healing components and creates a trusting environment for each teen client to heal.

“It is our hope to fill the void in adolescent treatment here in the Dallas, Fort Worth area,” noted Charles Fry, Director of Clinical Operations with The Right Step DFW. “The kids we work with are our future leaders. When we show up for them at an early age, we have the ability to break the cycle before it’s too late. We want to invest in them because we know that they will be the people who will go on to change the world.”

The Right Step DFW is working to make this treatment as accessible as possible by accepting most major insurances and providing care for adolescent males with secondary, co-occurring disorders such as depression and anxiety. Through this program, The Right Step DFW hopes to help empower Texas male teens to overcome their negative behavior patterns and live full, successful lives.

The study found that the Peace Education Program helped participants feel empowered to face past events, gain a willingness to change, better manage their anger and avoid fighting.

In many cases, their experience was very powerful and indeed life-changing, and nine out of 10 said it made a difference to them.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)
September 03, 2020

A comprehensive new study assessed the impact of the Peace Education Program on 604 incarcerated participants across four continents, finding remarkable results.

Conducted by Donald Sheppard from the ACE Insights research company, the study concluded that the program is “having a very positive effect on participants,” resulting in attitudinal improvements such as empowerment and a willingness to change, plus behavioral improvements such as better anger management and reduced fighting.

The Peace Education Program is an innovative workshop series that has helped inmates discover their own inner resources so they can improve their self-esteem and make better choices. The program has been offered in nearly 700 correctional institutions across the world, winning praise from officials for improving behavior and reducing recidivism.

The ACE Insights study evaluated the impact of the program in the U.S., U.K., Spain, Portugal, Finland, Australia, Trinidad and Tobago. Positive improvements were found in 89 percent of participants, who reported that the program helped them feel peace, hope, appreciation, and gain a new perspective.

“We found that these results were very similar for all demographic groups, across different countries, for males and females and different age groups, suggesting it has universal appeal,” says Sheppard. “In many cases, their experience was very powerful and indeed life-changing, and nine out of 10 said it made a difference to them.”

The study found that the Peace Education Program helped participants feel empowered to face past events, gain a willingness to change, better manage their anger, and avoid fighting.

“No matter how much wrong I may have done in the past, the program made me aware that there is still time for reform,” said a participant at Golden Grove Prison in Trinidad and Tobago.

A participant at Metro West Detention Center in the U.S. commented, “I see a lot of hate in this world, and I apply the program teachings to bring peace to myself and others.”

The Peace Education Program workshops feature video presentations by renowned author Prem Rawat and can be offered to the incarcerated in person, virtually, or on inmate tablets by GTL and Edovo. The course is neither religious nor political, and The Prem Rawat Foundation makes the workshop materials available free of charge.

In addition to correctional facilities, the program has proven effective in a variety of other settings such as schools, homeless shelters, drug rehabilitation facilities and many more.

The Peace Education Program is just one of the ways that The Prem Rawat Foundation advances dignity, peace and prosperity by addressing fundamental human needs.

Especially given the current uncertainty of the world, providing these resources to those who may not otherwise know where to turn to is imperative.

PHOENIX (PRWEB)
September 01, 2020

Only Human, a community-based organization that exists to make the world a better place by celebrating the things that make people “only human,” has partnered with Sounds of Saving to provide mental health support to people struggling with suicidal ideation and other mental health concerns through music, collaboration, community and rhythm and to guide people toward the appropriate resources.

For the month of September, National Suicide Awareness Month, 10 percent of Only Human’s profits will be donated to support Sounds of Saving’s efforts to unite and uplift those battling mental illness, specifically depression, self-harm and suicide. Through music, a powerful tool that has the ability to strengthen joy and perseverance, Sounds of Saving and Only Human work to celebrate the power of music and its ability to heal.

“We’ve all been directly affected by, or know someone who has been affected by mental health complications, and we hold a deep commitment to supporting and uplifting these people challenged by adversity,” said Bree Pear, founder of Only Human. “Especially given the current uncertainty of the world, providing these resources to those who may not otherwise know where to turn to is imperative.”

With a mission to fuel the hope needed to reverse the alarming suicide trends, Sounds of Saving features musicians who share how their personal experiences with music have helped them through difficult times. Using their platforms to promote seeking mental health care, these musicians serve as advocates and support systems for their fans and communities.

“It is human to have moments filled with loneliness and confusion. These feelings often pass, especially when shared with others,” said Nick Greto, founder of Sounds of Saving. “We hear less frequently about the countless stories of those who have had dark moments and figured out a way to make it through, and those stories need to be shared because they are contagious. Using music to get through the hardest moments is important and effective, and so to use a connection to it as a means to encourage opening up, relating to others’ stories and seeking help is a natural extension of this.”

To bring awareness to suicide, provide resources and in honor of this month’s cause campaign, both organizations will be hosting a series of virtual events including live Sounds of Savings musical performances, powerful mental health storytelling and discussions, candle lighting, meditation and yoga sessions, and more.

“Allowing employees to work flexibly can significantly reduce the conflict we experience between our personal and professional lives, and better equip everyone, regardless of career level, to take better care of their mental, emotional, and physical needs,” Sara Sutton, CEO & Founder of FlexJobs.

BOULDER, Colo. (PRWEB)
August 31, 2020

According to a survey of more than 800 respondents currently employed, having flexible work options such as remote work options, a freelance contract, or a part-time/flexible/alternative schedule, contributes positively to workers’ overall mental health and wellness. Of those that currently have flexible work options, 48 percent say their current work-life balance is excellent or very good. Fewer, 36 percent, of those without flexible work options say the same. Seventeen percent of those with flexible work options say their mental health is poor or very poor but 27 percent of those without flexible work options say their mental health is poor or very poor. This survey was conducted by FlexJobs, fielded in partnership with Mental Health America in late July 2020.

“Allowing employees to work flexibly can significantly reduce the conflict that we all experience between our personal and professional lives, and better equip everyone, regardless of their career level, to take better care of their mental, emotional, and physical needs,” Sara Sutton, CEO & Founder of FlexJobs. “Given the enormous amount of stress and uncertainty that we are all facing as a result of the coronavirus, offering employees more control over their workday can have a major impact on overall mental health and wellness right now,” Sutton concluded.

When asked how their workplace could better support them, the top reason listed was having flexibility in their workday (56%).

Healthy Company Cultures & Flexible Work:

• 54% of people with flexible work options say they have the emotional support they need at work to manage their stress but 45% without flexible work options say the same thing.
• 57% with flexible work options say they have the ability to change stressful things about their work (e.g., workload, time off, changing tasks, or responsibilities). However, only 37% without flexible work options say the same.
• 66% of those without flexible work options say that their workplace does not encourage open conversations about burnout and mental health but only about half (52%) of those with flexible work options say the same thing.
• 25% who have experienced burnout at work and also have flexible work options say they were able to have really productive conversations about their struggles with HR. Just 15% without flexible work options say the same thing.
• 60% without flexible work options feel distracted or find it difficult to concentrate because of their work environment but 47% with flexible work options feel distracted because of their work environment.

Tools for Better Mental Health

• Across the board, people with flexible work options leverage strategies to take care of their mental health at a higher rate than people without flexible work options pursue.
• For example, 38% with flexible work options stick to a healthy sleep schedule compared to 31% of those without flexible work options. 44% with flexible work options strive for a balanced diet compared to 40% of those without flexible work options. 20% with flexible work options do yoga compared to 15% of those without flexible work options. 28% with flexible work options use meditation and 25% without flexible work options meditate.
• People with flexible work options are also more interested in virtual services from their workplace.
• For example, 35% of people with flexible work options would do desktop yoga but only 29% without flexible work options would be interested in it. 40% with flexible work options would attend virtual workout classes but just 31% without flexible work options would attend.

Flexible Work and Improved Quality of Life:

• 80% think having a job with (more) work flexibility would help them take better care of their mental health.
• 83% think that having a job with (more) work flexibility would decrease their level of stress.
• 67% think that having a job with (more) work flexibility would increase the time they spend exercising.
• 92% think having a flexible job makes them (or could make them) a happier person in general.

Remote work

• If given the choice, 66% would prefer to work remotely full-time after the pandemic is over with 33% preferring a combination of in office and remote work. Less than 2% were interested in full-time on site work.
• 62% say they view remote work more favorably since the pandemic.

“It is important for employers to consider flexible work options as an essential part of helping employees thrive under the current circumstances and beyond,” stated Paul Gionfriddo, MHA’s President and CEO. “Even before the pandemic, some of the healthiest industries as it relates to employee mental health and well-being offered flexible work options.”

To highlight the types of companies that hire for flexible schedule jobs, FlexJobs has compiled the top 30 companies hiring for flexible schedule jobs this summer.

*Methodology

Demographic breakdown of the 800+ respondents: Ages: 20-39 (36%), 40-59 (51%), 60+ (13%); Household income: Less than less than $50,000 (40%), $50,000 to less than $75,000 (18%); $75,000 to less than $100,000 (15%), $100,000 to less than $150,000 (17%), $150,000+ (10%).

Until we have the courage to face the taboo of mental illness millions of people will continue to suffer needlessly.

STAUNTON, Va. (PRWEB)
August 31, 2020

The first live program will air on Sunday, September 6, 2020, at 2 PM Eastern Time. This ongoing conversation will begin by focusing on the taboo of mental illness and how to overcome the pervasive social and cultural stigma that prevents millions of people from seeking the treatment they desperately need.

Mental Illness is a global health crisis. Over 792 million people worldwide, over 10% of the world’s population, are living with the debilitating effects of mental illness, but over 75% will not seek treatment due to the social taboo and cultural stigma associated with mental health problems. Mental illness is a real health concern that can lead to violence, suicide, and self-destructive behaviors, but why is mental illness a taboo? What is causing the stigma about mental health? The overarching reason is fear. The innate fear of being seen as strange, different, or worse—crazy—is the primary reason that most people suffering from mental illness will not seek treatment. The deep longing for acceptance and the shame of being different, which often coincides with the deep-seated fear of rejection, is the primary reason that mental illness is a global health crisis.

If you are suffering from mental health issues like severe depression, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, bipolar disorder, or other debilitating mental illnesses it is only natural to look for a solution to end what is not only excruciatingly painful but is often your secret hell—even those closest to you can be completely unaware of the mental anguish you are living with on a daily basis. You might really want some help, but in a world that seems to be spinning out of control where do you turn when you are afraid of what everyone else might think? Who can you trust to provide you with the support you desperately need to address the illness that is haunting you?

Instead of seeking a psychotherapeutic healing modality, it is common to use drugs or alcohol to self-medicate or search for a spiritual solution. Kosi, an internationally recognized Direct Path Advaita Vedanta satsang teacher and founder of Wisdom Rock Foundation, and Alex, a respected psychiatrist from Lausanne Switzerland, will confront this pervasive taboo. This intimate conversation will explore how we can collectively overcome the stigma of mental illness opening the door to a shift in consciousness that might finally put an end to the taboo that prevents healing mental illness in its myriad of forms.

In a recent interview, Kosi explained, “Often spiritual teachings are seen as a solution to what can be a debilitating and excruciatingly painful mental illness with disastrous results. Now more than ever before it is important to understand how spiritual practices can help with serious mental illness and when it simply is not a healthy choice. To overcome the pervasive mental health crisis, we need to confront the taboo of mental illness, which generates the deep shame that prevents so many people from seeking the help they desperately need. Facing the shame of mental illness opens the door to a radical shift in consciousness. Until we have the courage to face the taboo of mental illness millions of people will continue to suffer needlessly.”

This live program will dive deep into the forbidden realm of psychological disorders to discover healing modalities that work and those that simply don’t. It will explore the spiritual realm of satsang and the psychotherapeutic realm of psychiatry to intimately discuss how these different modalities support healing. But what exactly is satsang? Is satsang the right choice for someone with serious mental health concerns? Or is psychotherapy a better solution? Is it possible to use both modalities to address what can be the debilitating feelings of mental illness? What causes mental illness exactly? This conversation will intimately explore these important questions and more.

This is not your typical talk show. The programs that air on Kosi Radio provides evolutionary support that helps you navigate what can be the confusing realm of spiritual teachers and teachings as well as the healing realm of psychotherapy. The proliferation of spiritual information in many cases is used to spiritualize mental illness and can actually serve as a way to avoid the necessary therapeutic modality that is more suited to address serious mental illness. This program is the essential conversation that helps you distinguish between spiritual and psychotherapeutic healing modalities.

This is not just a one-sided conversation. During this live broadcast, you can phone-in with local phone numbers wherever you live in the world. This open invitation enables you to participate in this conversation to ask questions or share your concerns and the challenges you face. This deep, authentic, conscious conversation will help you discover real solutions to address what you might have been avoiding your entire life. It provides compassionate support for seeking the healing modality with the power to resolve what can be a debilitating mental health crisis.

NCPCV received a 2020 grant from Motorola Solutions Foundation in generous support of this health and wellness project.

FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif. (PRWEB)
August 28, 2020

“The Lighthouse App provides law enforcement officers and their families a new level of support during a time of crisis.
