Invisible child siblings in the world of chronic illness july 2011
Invisible child siblings in the world of chronic illness july 2011Haslinger Family Pediatric Palliative Care Center at Akron Children's Hospital
The document discusses the experiences of siblings living with a chronically ill family member. It notes that while siblings may experience some positive outcomes like maturity and advocacy skills, they also commonly experience negative emotions like isolation, resentment, and guilt. Siblings of chronically ill children often have lower quality of life in areas like emotional functioning, school performance, and social functioning. The document recommends that healthcare providers ensure siblings' information needs are met, involve them in medical decisions, and encourage open communication to help siblings cope positively.Homeless
The document discusses several factors that contribute to homelessness:
Health issues like mental illness make it difficult for homeless people to access and afford healthcare services, contributing to issues that could lead to or prolong homelessness. Lack of affordable and safe housing is a major cause of homelessness. Being homeless also lacks basic needs of security, safety, and stability that most take for granted, as homeless people must constantly worry about theft and harm from others. Homelessness can negatively impact self-esteem and sense of identity as the homeless may feel socially isolated with few connections and see themselves as having little value or place in society.
Mgd 120 foster care ppt
Foster care is meant to provide a temporary safe place for children who cannot live with their family due to abuse, neglect, or a family crisis. In New York in 2009, there were 24,605 children in foster care, with 55% being discharged and 45% remaining in the system. Children in foster care often experience instability, being moved to new homes or facilities an average of 2-8 times per year, and may face abuse, running away from their placements, and separation from siblings. While foster care aims to reunite children with their families or find permanent placements, the realities are that many children spend prolonged periods in the system or return to it repeatedly.

Shortage of foster families slideshow
There is a shortage of foster families willing to care for children. Many children, especially those with disabilities, have difficulty finding permanent homes. The responsibilities and costs of caring for foster children, particularly those with special needs, may exceed the amount of funding provided by the government. As a result, these vulnerable children face feelings of loneliness and lack of stability as they move between homes, waiting for a family to adopt them. All children deserve to grow up in a nurturing environment, regardless of their abilities or circumstances.

This document discusses the impacts of parental incarceration on children and families. It notes that incarceration can cause shifts in family dynamics and children's roles, identities, and living situations. Children often experience feelings of loss, abandonment, and insecurity as a result. The document outlines considerations for working with children of incarcerated parents, such as focusing on the concrete and psychological effects, encouraging communication between child and parent, and providing mentoring opportunities. It also examines the impacts at different developmental stages, such as attachment and trust issues for infants and feelings of powerlessness for pre-schoolers. The conclusion advocates for counseling over suspension, teaching coping skills, and engaging youth in positive community activities.
The Sandwich Generation
The document discusses the challenges faced by the "sandwich generation" - individuals who care for both their aging parents and their own children. As people live longer, families are more multigenerational. This puts a strain on middle-aged adults who must balance the needs of elderly parents with their career and children. Women especially struggle as most caregivers. Without support, the mental and physical health of caregivers suffers from stress. Counselors can help by focusing on resilience and using strength-based questions about family relationships, responsibilities, needs met and neglected, and finding laughter amid challenges.
Role of the family
The document discusses the role and importance of families. It defines a family as the basic unit of society and notes that healthy families freely express love and respect. Additionally, families help develop values, self-confidence, and decision-making skills. The document also outlines types of health families should promote, including physical, mental/emotional, and social health. It emphasizes the importance of communication, support, and spending quality time together to build strong family relationships.

Key things to evaluate are one's support systems, values to instill in children, and willingness to take on the huge responsibility that comes with parenting. The document provides questions to guide self-reflection on readiness for parenthood.
Powerpoint parenting plans for children with special needs
Children who have special needs require specialized parenting plans that reflect the child's unique capacity to make transitions, to have health care needs met, and to have therapeutic services provided in each home.
Capturing the learning; good family support
Jennifer Hanratty presentation from the 2021 Reaching Out, Supporting Families conference on building connections to strengthen families in Northern Ireland.
Hey grandma, can i live with you grandparents and the opioid epidemic
1) Grandparents are increasingly taking on the role of raising their grandchildren as the opioid epidemic causes more parents to struggle with addiction and neglect their children. This is putting financial and emotional strains on many grandparents who are raising grandchildren full-time.
2) Around 2.9 million children in the US were living with their grandparents in 2015, with a total of 13 million children living with grandparents. Many grandparents have unexpectedly had to take on parenting roles again in their retirement years.
3) Grandparents who take on the full-time parenting of their grandchildren face significant financial challenges, with nearly 1 in 5 living below the poverty line. Resources to help support grandparents raising grandchildren are limited.
Develop and support families
This document discusses factors that influence people's decisions to become foster parents, programs that support foster families, the needs of foster children, and strategies to effectively develop and support foster families. It provides examples of Washington state's Fostering Together program and a 2011 event in Seattle where Native American foster parents and children came together to make drums and learn about their culture. The overall goal discussed is maintaining a pool of well-prepared and supported foster families who can provide stability and permanency for children in foster care.
Develop and Support Families
This document discusses factors that influence people's decisions to become foster parents, programs that support foster families, the needs of foster children, and strategies to effectively develop and support foster families. Some key points include:
Factors that motivate people to foster include a desire to help children in need, religious or moral duty, and having the necessary resources. Programs like Fostering Together in Washington State aim to recruit and support more foster families. Foster children come from diverse backgrounds and may have physical, emotional, or developmental needs. Effective family development involves integrated support from the start, ongoing training, and partnerships between agencies and foster parents.
Hs8002 Grandparents Project
- Over 6 million children in the US live with their grandparents as primary caregivers, with 6% of Virginia children living in grandparent-headed homes.
- The majority (46%) of these children are between 5-11 years old and come from situations involving substance abuse, child abuse/neglect, parental incarceration, or family issues like divorce or death of a parent.
- Grandparents taking on this role experience both emotional ups like satisfaction in providing stability but also downs like loss of their original role and sacrifices required to keep the family together. Support groups can help grandparents in this situation.

Engendering Migrant Health: An Embodied Approach, Dr Denise Spitzer, Universi...
1. The document discusses an embodied approach to understanding migrant health through the lens of work, worry, and weariness experienced by migrants.
2. It highlights how migrants often experience downward social mobility and precarious employment that impacts their health. Migrants also experience worry through family separation and caregiving responsibilities.
3. Over time, the cumulative effects of stress can manifest physically through weariness, somatic expressions of distress, and chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
4. An embodied approach considers how social, economic, and political factors get under the skin and impact health, while also recognizing migrants' resilience through social support networks.
'16-'21_IL_Childwelfare_Transform_Strategic_Plan
This document outlines the 2016-2021 strategic plan for Illinois Child Welfare Transformation. The plan aims to promote prevention, child safety, permanency and well-being. Key goals include strengthening families to keep children safe at home whenever possible, achieving permanency through foster care by reuniting families or finding new permanent homes expeditiously, and supporting a successful transition to adulthood for youth in care. The plan calls for a trauma-informed, family-centered approach and emphasizes providing stable placements, consistent case managers, and permanent families for all children and youth in care.

This document summarizes the results of a survey of 91 parents regarding their concerns for their children with autism. It discusses their day-to-day concerns such as managing behaviors and safety. Long-term concerns included future care, independence, and relationships after the parents are gone. For higher functioning children, concerns were managing anxiety, victimization, self-care skills, and knowing when to ask for help. The document advocates for community support for housing, employment, and the transition to adulthood for those with autism.
2019 open table training
This document discusses challenges faced by youth who age out of foster care, including a lack of permanency and family support systems. It notes that foster youth often develop survival behaviors and experience trauma that can impact their mental and physical health as adults. The document emphasizes the importance of exit plans and ensuring youth have life skills, permanency pacts, and documents to successfully transition to independence.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
