Change for New Year Resolutions

davidabrams — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 22:05:00 +0000

Change is a process whether it is cleaning a room, organizing, or
losing weight.

Change begins with the belief you can change and the desire to change.
Having hope and expecting change are the strongest components besides
taking action each day.

A great way to make change is to dedicate 5 minutes a day to the
desired change.

It can be exercising daily for five minutes. It can be cleaning a part
of a room each day for five minutes. Once you get motivated and going
you will build momentum and will reach your goal.

Schedule time for your goals daily and follow through w them. Post
them on a post it in your bathroom or wherever you will see it.

Rome was not built in a day and if you downsize your goals you will
feel that it is manageable and you will not be overwhelmed.

davidabrams — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:46:00 +0000

Two thirds of the nations juvenile inmates have at least one mental health illness or disorder according to a recent article. Community programs are cash starved so many juveniles are being treated in the prison.

More than 33 states have cut their budgets for mental health programs for juveniles.
The juvenile prison has become the “care taker” for youth at risk, troubled teens since the 1980′s.

A study showed that there were fewer than nine psychiatrists for over 100,000 youth. Many juvenile offenders are prescribed multiple psychiatric medications as they move around from clinics, to detention halls, and to the juvenile prisons.
