SAMHSA is the agency responsible for helping to get the word out about substance abuse and mental health issues, so their focus is much aligned with ours. This year’s theme was focused on honoring portrayals of men and women who serve in the military but come home to grapple with mental health issues and friends and family who often just don’t understand how to help. It also featured a lifetime achievement award given to Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter for her decades’ long work on helping advance mental health care in the U.S. The annual ceremony is held to honor the realistic and often-poignant depiction of people struggling ...

Iran’s foreign ministry asked that the newspaper refrain from insulting foreign dignitaries, but the paper’s message hasn’t changed: On Tuesday, it again reiterated the statement and added that Bruni “deserves to die”. The paper deems that, because Bruni has admitted to her own affairs in the past, she deserves a sentence similar to the one of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, the Iranian woman she was defending. Wow, Iran. Just wow. via Salon.com Post...

The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, comprised of sixteen food product companies, have ‘pledged to cut 1 trillion calories from the food they sell’ as well as change products to reduce calories, fat, sugar, sodium and portion size. The four main pillars of the Let’s Move program are to make schools healthier, increase the amount of physical activity children get at school and at home, give parents the information to make healthy decisions, and increase access to food for all families. It seems one major componen...

But here’s the thing – other than Esquire’s hat-tip to Giulia, we’re kind of pissed about the piece. It features portraits of women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s, but frankly, the magazine doesn’t make the prospect of female aging look so hot. Their photos of women in their 20s are taken from flattering angles at the perfect moment, when their smile, eyes, and hair are just right. But the older the women get, the more the photos resemble mugshots: Unsmiling, squinting old crones stare straight into the camera in far less flattering poses. Just what are you hin...

Poor diet and lack of exercise has led to an epidemic among children in which childhood obesity has increased by three times over the past 30 years. One in three children are overweight or obese, and the country spends $150 billion each year to treat conditions related to obesity. Let’s face it – our kids are fat! Overweight Kid Being overweight as a child can lead to the development of high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, orthopedic problems, depression, and a number of other diseases and ailments. Overweight adolescents have a 70% chance of becoming overweight or obese adults. Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama has been leading a nationwide campaign called “Let’s Move”...

This Conversations at The Carter Center event is sold out but will be webcast live at www.cartercenter.org More than 130 patients have died under suspicious circumstances in Georgia’s public psychiatric hospitals over the past seven years, according to an exposé by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The Carter Center has been a leading voice for change in Georgia’s mental health system since this crisis came to light, and has worked to identify strategies to transform Georgia’s shame into a model for the nation.

If you didn’t know, The Carter Center has been a leading force in helping to coordinate national mental health policy over the past two and a half decades. It does most of its work behind the scenes and is rarely noted for what it does best — bringing all stakeholders to the same table to talk and work on how they can advance policy and mental health agendas in the country. They do this through year-round work and collaborations with legislatures, advocates, organizations, non-profits, and other...

After receiving a record number of applicants, the Carter Center’s Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism — the only journalism fellowships exclusively for mental health — announced today the winners of its 2009-2010 awards (see below for full list of fellows and their project topics). Since 1996, the fellowship program has educated more than 100 journalists, who set the standard in their field for accurate and sensitive portrayals of mental health issues. “Journalists have a very important role to play in shaping the public’s pe...

Even though the first votes were cast just a couple of weeks ago, the campaigning has gone on now for months (and there are many months to go before it’s over) and that’s just for the primaries! I am something of a political animal; I’ll admit to that. But I try to only bring up politics to this forum when it comes to specific issues. I have my political views, you have yours; no need mucking up the waters of our relationship with the “who to vote for” conversation. I bring this issue to the community today, simply because I was not the one to bring it up. The subject of this posting brought this up herself – so, fair game. In a speech this week, one which seemed to be headed tow... Life with MS blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1179325 Fri, 25 Jan 2008 22:55:44 +0100 1179325
