Beds Needed for Mentally Ill If you were having a heart attack, you would expect to receive the proper care you needed at your local hospital, whether you had the means to pay or not. You wouldn't expect to be cared for in a place that might aggravate your symptoms. And you wouldn't expect to be cared for by someone who usually takes care of newborns. And you certainly wouldn't expect to be put in jail. Yet for dozens of people with mental illness in Northwest Arkansas, this is exactly what is occurring when they have an "attack."

Contact Us Helping the Grieving Child in School by Linda Goldman, Certified Grief Therapist and Grief Educator http://http://users.erols.com/lg....... Educators and students can exist in a more healthy living and learning environment by acknowledging the special needs of the grieving child. Foremost is the complex relationship between loss issues and a child's ability to function in and out of the classroom. The needs of the grieving child must be addressed in a new and fresh way within our school systems to create a safe haven for learning for our young people. Grief in the 'nineties Children's grief should be seen as an ongoing life process that is approachable through words, activities and non-verbal communication. Educators can use this understanding to create a safe environment for parents, teachers and children to acknowledge and process difficult feelings. So often adults rely on the prevailing myth that children are too young too grieve. When a child is capable of loving, he is capable of grieving. Yet many of today's children are born into a world of grief issues that await them inside their homes and outside their neighborhoods. Boys and girls are becoming increasingly traumatized by these prevailing social and societal loss issues in their homes, in their schools and in their communities. A major percentage of America's children face the loss of the protection of the adult world, as grief issues of homicide violence and abuse infiltrate their outer and inner worlds. Issues involving shame and secretiveness when death is caused by such occurrences as suicide and the contraction of AIDS create a grieving child that is locked into the pain of isolation - which can be far more damaging than the original loss.

National Association for Gifted Children COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE DIVISION Affective Issues and the Gifted Series Recent Research on . . . Guidance, Counseling and Therapy for the Gifted A survey of recent research studies on guidance and counseling issues, techniques, and practices reveals that 82 publications (35 studies) have been released in the past 7 years. The issues touched upon in these studies (in order of prevalence) include therapeutic interventions or alternative counseling strategies (21), interventions for gifted girls (10), diversity issues (9), career identity/career counseling (8), family relationships, therapy (7), adolescent issues (7), disability, motivation issues (5), mIddle childhood issues (3), young child issues (2), musical giftedness (2), early college admittants (2), and scientists (1). Conclusions 1. Although there does not seem to be evidence that the gifted are more prone to suicide, underachievement, dropping out, or delinquency, there seems to be proportionally higher incidences of perfectionism, stress and burnout. The affective issues of the gifted cannot be ignored by school counselors and teachers just because they don't show up in larger than expected numbers as problematic for chemical dependency, alcoholism, promiscuity, or truancy. Counseling for this group should be focused on prevention, a proactive role.

Conclusion GUIDELINES FOR DEALING WITH INCIDENTS INVOLVING ACTUAL, ATTEMPTED, OR THREATENED SUICIDE Circumstances surrounding suicide attempts and threats are diverse. At times, there may be occasions when the recommended guidelines, especially if interpreted rigidly with no allowances for flexibility, may not be in the best interest of the student. Such incidents can be traumatic and emotionally charged. Thus, it becomes particularly vital for involved team members to function in a coordinated and collaborative manner. A. Prevention Preventive procedures in the school setting for students in danger of self-destructive behavior are primarily focused on: 1. The development of a school atmosphere in which the student feels safe and supported. 2. The accessibility of a sensitive, supportive staff that is part of an all embracing mental health network.

Inevitably this represented only a limited range of the possible gamut of experiences and views that exist within the school system. However, the discussions did afford valuable insights into some of the work that is currently underway in schools which was directly related to the promotion of mental health and well being in young people (sometimes also in their families and communities) and more indirectly related to the reduction of suicide and self harm. 5.2 Impetus to address emotional and mental health

Provisional 1999 suicide statistics for all ages released in April 2002, show 514 people died by suicide in 1999 compared with 577 in 1998 and 561 in 1997. The 1999 total is the lowest since 1994 (512), ministry spokeswoman Maria cotter said. “It’s encouraging to know these rates can come down but the figures are still too high,” she said. “Every suicide is a personal tragedy and devastates family and friends, colleagues and communities.” Suicide deaths have reduced among both Maori and non-Maori. The overall rate of suicide among Maori was the same as for non-Maori in 1999. But youth suicide rates are still significantly higher among Maori than non-Maori she said.
