It is no secret that stress has a negative impact on health, but research is finding that an “attitude of gratitude” can be a successful antidote to external stressors.
Cultivating an attitude of thankfulness has also been linked to better immune function, better ability to relax, and even decreased rates of disease.
Oncologist Dr. Rob Rutledge reviewed the book Radical Remissions: Surviving cancer against all odds by Kelly Turner, PhD, and the nine key attitudes and behaviours found in people who have undergone a spontaneous remission.
Though not promising a cure, Dr. Rutledge shows there is much wisdom in adopting this proactive approach to a cancer diagnosis which can profoundly improve one’s health and happiness.
Talking to your children and young people about Familial Alzheimer's/Frontote...Jessica Collins
Alison Metcalfe presented her research on talking to children and young people about Familial Alzheimer's Disease and Familial Frontotemporal Dementia.
As a seasoned interventionist, I’ve seen clients from both sides of the mental illness/substance abuse spectrum as well as clients with an avalanche of additional problems that I describe as the TRIPLE THREAT, those who suffer from a tertiary issue either as a result of a prior condition (i.e. disorder or illness) or that one that is exacerbated by additional factors (i.e. physical, legal, traumatic, etc.). These folks and their families present a diagnostic quandary with their kaleidoscope of competing and equally important issues.
This is a presentation for Nutley, NJ Parenting Advocacy group to help parents understand how to protect their children and what to do if they suspect abuse. I used current research and best practice when developing this presentation.

This workshop helps ministry leaders to recognize situations when anxiety represents a barrier to participation in Awana activities and develop strategies for welcoming and including kids with all types of anxiety into your programming.
There’s this kid…Including kids with emotional, behavior and developmental ch...Stephen Grcevich, MD
One in five kids in the U.S. meet criteria for at least one mental health disorder, one in four experience a traumatic event by age 16, and a majority of the one in 68 kids diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders have average to high intelligence. For many, the environments in which we “do church” present subtle, but very real barriers to participation for kids with mental illness, trauma or developmental disabilities and their families. In this session, we’ll help Awana leaders identify potential pitfalls to kids with common disabilities becoming involved and staying involved with ministry, while exploring ideas for welcoming and including ALL kids in your ministry…many who may not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the hope of Christ.

In-Home Care Tips For Aging Parents.pptxHappyHandsllc
Most seniors choose to remain in the homes where they have lived their whole life. But when health care concerns become too much to bear, it may be time to consider assisted living.
Steps and tips to help the client in the process of recovery change habits, learn coping techniques, and understand what the process looks like both in and out of treatment.
CANSA places the spotlight on Caregivers this CANSA Care Week 1 – 7 August 2014.
Who is a Caregiver?
A Caregiver is anyone who cares, without being paid, for a friend or family member who is fighting cancer and cannot cope without support.
“We feel that sometimes Caregivers’ loving care and support, which they lend to those affected by cancer, can go unnoticed. We really hope to change that; the wellbeing of a Caregiver is just as important as that of the Survivor they are caring for. This CANSA Care Week, we want to encourage everyone to celebrate and salute all Caregivers
When life gives you lemons make margaritas-Looking after yourself after separ...Brisbane Family Law Centre
The grief suffered upon the breakdown of a marriage or significant relationship is on par with the grief we experience upon the death of our loved ones. In this workshop Family Lawyer, Clarissa Rayward teams up with Provisional Psychologist, Sophie Jordan, to discuss how you can best help yourself after separation and divorce.
Self care and to care others- New Normal coping strategies.pptxDr. Alice Aloysius
This sudden global shift comes at a heavy cost: Feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, grief and isolation are widespread.
It’s OK to grieve. It’s OK to feel overwhelmed.
But we also need to make a conscious choice to work through our grief. Tap into our own resilience and the support available to us.
Though we don’t have control in many ways, we can control how we respond to our new reality and take care of ourselves each day. Self-care is essential now more than ever; as we strengthen our emotional selves, we also fortify our immune systems.
A situation has the potential to change your negative train of thought. Check your energy levels regularly and ask yourself…How am I currently feeling?
The answer will give you a moment to pause, reset, and adjust if you need to.
You cannot function at your best if you’ve got no energy, tired, or exhausted.
Looking after yourself is not selfish it’s vital. You cannot give what you don’t have. We live in a doing world and forget that we are human beings not human doings. Rest, space, slow down, a power nap, plenty of sleep, breaks will all help to keep you fully charged.
“Self-care is never a selfish act. … Anytime we can listen to true self and give the care it requires, we do it not only for ourselves, but for the many others whose lives we touch.” — Parker Palmer, author and teacher.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

1. Surviving he
holidays if you
have an eating
disorder
Theodore Weltzin, MD
Medical Director
Eating Disorder Services
Rogers Memorial Hospital
www.rogershospiptal.org
3. The Dilemma
• Holidays show be a time of year to look
forward to but are stresfful for eating diosdrer
pateints
• have a game plan
• Keep your sense of humor
• Make yourself useful
• Make time for yourself
• Look on the bright side
4. The Dilemma
• A survey of adolescent girls showed that their main
source of information about health issues is the media
• The average adolescent watches 3-4 hours of TV per day
• 90% of 15 –24 year olds are “on-line”
– 75% use the internet for health information
– 25% search for information on weight concerns
– 4 out of 10 online searchers of health information say they
changed their behavior because of what they learned
5. Why is everyone on a diet?
• Weight loss and dieting become very
reinforcing.
– Success, money, relationships, health, sports
• However, the majority of people have
difficulty with weight loss.
• Adolescents seem particularly vulnerable
to developing extremes of weight loss and
dieting behavior.
7. • Watch for
subtle
messages:
• “The thin
girls are
happy”
8.
9. Teenage Vegetarians at Risk?
• Adolescent vegetarians • Male adolescent
more likely to avoid vegetarians more likely to
meat for weight control vomit after eating that
• Adolescent vegetarians non vegetarians
weigh themselves • Vegetarianism may serve
more as a red flag for eating
• 6-10% of adolescents disorder behavior
are thought to be • Vegan Diet unhealthy for
vegetarian adolescents
10. Eat regularly and in some kind of
reasonable pattern.
• Avoid “preparing for the last supper.” Don’t
skip meals and starve in an attempt to make
up for what you recently ate or are about to
eat. Keep a regular and moderate pattern
11. Worry more about the size of your
heart than the size of your hips!
• It is the holiday season, a great time to reflect,
enjoy relationships with loved ones, and most
importantly, a time to feel gratitude for
blessings received and to give back through
loving service to others.
12. • Discuss your anticipation of the holidays with
your therapist, physician, dietitian, or
• other members of your treatment team so
that they can help you predict, prepare for,
• and get through any uncomfortable family
interactions without self-destructive coping
• attempts.
13. • Have a well-thought-out game plan before you
go home or invite others into your
• home. Know “where the exits are,” where
your support people are, and how you’ll
• recognize when it’s time to make a quick exit
and get connected with needed support.
14. • Talk with loved ones about important issues:
decisions, victories, challenges, fears,
• concerns, dreams, goals, special moments,
spirituality, relationships and your feelings
• about them. Allow important themes to be
present. Allow yourself to have fun rather
• than rigidly focusing on food or body
concerns.
15. • Think of someone to call if you are struggling
with addictive behaviors, or with
• negative thoughts or difficult emotions. Alert
them ahead of time; let them know of
• your concerns, needs, and the possibility of
you calling them for emotional support.
16. • Consider choosing one loved one to be your
“reality check” with food, to either help
• fix a plate for you or to give you sound
feedback on the food portion sizes you make
• for yourself.
17. • Write down your vision of where you would
like your mind and heart to be during
• this holiday time with loved ones. Take time,
several times per day, to find a quiet
• place to get in tune with your vision, to
remember, to nurture, and to center yourself
• in the thoughts, feelings, and actions that
match your vision for yourself.
18. • Focus your personal goals for your time with
loved ones during the holidays. Make them
about “doing something”
• rather than about trying to prevent
something. It’s fine to have food goals, but
make sure you add personal,
• emotional, spiritual, and relationship goals as
well.
19. • Work on being flexible in your thoughts. Learn
to be flexible when setting guidelines for
yourself and expectations
• of yourself and others. Strive to be flexible in
what you can eat during the holidays. Take a
holiday from self-imposed
• criticism, rigidity, and perfectionism.
20. • Stay active in your support group, or join one if
you are not currently involved. Many support
groups can be helpful:
• 12-step groups, co-dependency groups, eating
disorder therapy groups, book clubs,
neighborhood game groups, and
• religious- or spiritually oriented groups are
examples of groups that may give real support.
Isolation and withdrawal
• from positive support are not the way to get
through trying times.
21. • Avoid “overstressing” and “overbooking” yourself. A
lower sense of stress can decrease the perceived need
to turn to
• eating-disordered behaviors or other unhelpful coping
strategies. Cut down on unnecessary events and
obligations
• and leave time for relaxation, contemplation,
reflection, spiritual renewal, simple service, and
enjoying the small yet
• most important things in life. This will help you
experience and enjoy a sense of gratitude and peace.
