The history for the ceremony at UCD is even shorter. Sometime last year, the second year students in our program felt so strongly that UCD needed a white coat ceremony that they took it on as a gift to the class that followed.

Ms. Hyde is an attorney and comes to SAMHSA with more than 30 years experience in management and consulting for public healthcare and human services agencies. She has served as a state mental health director, state human services director, city housing and human services director, as well as CEO of a private non-profit managed behavioral healthcare firm. You can learn more about Ms. Hyde here. Dr. John Grohol: So I wanted to understand a little bit better how the Voice Awards originated.

It’s worth checking out if you’re a student facing the imminent graduation ceremony, or a parent of such a student. From mid-May well into June, my corner of the world is celebrating one graduation after another. With four colleges, a state university, two community colleges and more high schools and alternative schools than I can count within a 25-mile circle around my town, the hills are alive with the sounds of “Pomp and Circumstance.” It’s the season when graduating seniors wear funny hats and walk across a stage or field or gym floor after what seems like an interminable wait. It’s a time whe...

In this post, FireCap5 shares with us his experience at this years Memorial Weekend. Now, I dont know a whole lot of what this is all about, but looking at the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation web site, brings it all home. What an amazing thing to do for the families of those who have lost loved ones whilst they were performing their duties. I dont know if there is a similar thing for Paramedics and EMTs who are not part of fire departments or if this is just a fire service thing, but either way….Wow! I have also been speaking to a few of my blogger friends about various ceremonies that they do, one of ...

What a whirlwind time for me. The Big Guy just went thorough his graduation week. It started May 29 with his prom. He had a date and wore a white tuxedo. Then he had the honors convocation where he got to wear a satin striped collar, white cord and white tassel instead of the school colors. We credit Bobby his stepdad with getting him to study and ultimately graduate with honors, I am one of those moms that is charmed with crayons and construction paper so not a big help in pushing for better grades. Then he had an athletic banquet where he was awarded all area first team for discus throwing. On Saturday we sat through the pomp and ceremony of the main convocation where again he wore the white tassel and special get-up and finally finished the whole shebang with a graduation celebrati...

But I’m very aware of the holes in my heart from those times I didn’t do the right thing. Out of fear. Out of selfishness. Out of desperation. Out of loneliness. Last weekend, when I was knee deep into the pee pool (kids’ pool), an 18-month-old fell over into the pool from the side, and he wasn’t wearing any floaties to keep him buoyant. His dad spotted him face down in the pool and was on his way to scoop him ...

It’s an international nautical distress signal. It’s a cry for help. And someone thought of sending that message out at the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. Just an accident, maybe not quite an incident? What if cars bearing puzzle magnets chose to turn them upside down to indicate distress; a particularly bad day? We don’t, by the way, have any sort of ...

Unfortunately, like many stories on suicide, the article is thin on actual data to back this idea of an “epidemic.” When crossing international boundaries, one has to understand different cultures’ takes on taboo topics. Suicide is one such topic, and one where culture has a significant impact on how it’s viewed. For instance, in Japan suicide has practically been raised to a virtue, where committing suicide is seen as the honorable thing to do when one’s life seems to be going wrong: A suicide fad is sweeping Japan: Hundreds of Japanese have killed themselves this year by mixing ordinary household chemicals into a lethal cloud of poison gas that often injure...
