Dorothea Dix was a 19th century activist who worked to improve treatment of the mentally ill in prisons and advocated for the creation of the first American mental asylums. In the early 20th century, treatment in asylums was harsh and inhumane, isolating patients and discouraging their participation in society. Deinstitutionalization in the 1960s was spurred by overcrowding and abuse in institutions and replaced them with community mental health clinics. Federal acts since then have aimed to establish parity between mental and physical health insurance coverage and improve community resources for the mentally ill. Views differ between Democrats and Republicans on the federal government's role in mental health policy and funding.

Reproductive Health Bill
The document summarizes key sections of a reproductive health bill in the Philippines. It outlines sections that require family planning supplies to be included in government purchases, mandate age-appropriate reproductive health education in schools, and define employer responsibilities to provide health services. It also prohibits providing incorrect information about reproductive health programs and services, requires patient consent without marital consent for procedures, and establishes penalties for violations including imprisonment and fines.
Hill briefing 9 22-10 rosenberg comments
Linda Rosenberg, President and CEO of the National Council for Community Behavioral Healthcare, discusses the increased demand community mental health centers will face under healthcare reform and the Affordable Care Act. An estimated 1.5 million new patients will enter treatment, increasing caseloads by over 20%. However, cuts to public mental health services have also occurred. She asks Congress to support the Community Mental Health and Addiction Safety Net Equity Act to provide reimbursement parity for community behavioral health centers. She also asks Congress to ensure people with mental illness can benefit from provisions in the Affordable Care Act, including its Health Home State Option, and receive equal access to health information technology.

Mental illness has become a leading cause of crimes, suicides, and emotional instability. While Georgia has laws to assist those struggling with mental health, resources are difficult to access as patients are often unaware of available help due to stigma. The document examines proposed solutions to increase community support and prevent suicide. It also discusses Georgia's Mandatory Treatment Law allowing involuntary treatment for those who cannot seek care voluntarily.
Mental Health in Schools Act Memo
The document discusses the need for improved mental health programs and services, especially in schools. It notes that while the Affordable Care Act has expanded coverage and services, stigma remains a significant barrier preventing many Asian Americans from seeking treatment. Left unaddressed, this could worsen health outcomes and social risks. The document advocates passing the Mental Health in Schools Act to establish comprehensive school-based programs and promote early intervention and prevention.
Rh bill
The document discusses key aspects of the Reproductive Health Bill in the Philippines, including its aims to provide information on birth control and maternal care through promoting natural and modern family planning methods. It requires sexuality education in schools from grade 5 through 4th year high school and mandates companies with less than 200 workers to partner with local healthcare providers to deliver reproductive health services. Any public officials who restrict legal and medically safe reproductive healthcare can face imprisonment or fines under the bill.
Rights of senior citizens
This document discusses the rights and facilities provided to senior citizens in India. It notes that the government and UN have declared those over 60 (males) and 55 (females) to be senior citizens who may face health, financial and family problems. The government has enacted laws and policies to protect their rights and interests, including provisions in the constitution. Various ministries provide concessions and facilities to senior citizens for transportation, healthcare, savings, and more. It is the duty of both the state and families to take care of senior citizens in their old age.

West Virginia has some of the highest smoking rates in the country, especially among pregnant women and youth. Raising the tobacco tax by $1 per pack could significantly improve public health and generate new tax revenue for the state. An increased tax would reduce smoking rates and the health costs associated with tobacco-related illnesses. It could also deter youth from starting to smoke and encourage pregnant smokers to quit. West Virginia currently has one of the lowest tobacco taxes in the nation, and a tax increase would make its rate more comparable to surrounding states. The additional tax revenue of over $600 million in 5 years could be invested in programs to benefit residents' health and well-being.

It has four pillars: responsible parenthood, respect for life, birth control, and informed choice. The act promotes providing unbiased information and access to reproductive healthcare services. While abortion is illegal, post-abortion care will be provided compassionately. Birth control will be accessible to all, especially the poor.
Assignment 5.1 Gender Equality and Reproductive Health Care in the Philippines
Assignment 5.1 Gender Equality and Reproductive Health Care in the Philippines Justine Camacho-Tajonera
This is an assignment for the course, How To Change the World, offered for free by Wesleyan University via Coursera.org. This slide show tackles how women, particularly the underprivileged, were undermined when the RH Law (then, a bill) was blocked by powerful groups in the Philippines such as the Catholic Church. Today, this bill has already been passed into law and the Supreme Court has mandated it constitutional (with several provisions stricken down). Atty chito liban talk rh law
This document summarizes Catholic teachings against the Reproductive Health Law in the Philippines. It argues that the law violates Catholic doctrine by promoting contraception, which breaks the unitive and procreative meanings of sex. It says the law cheapens the human body and trivializes sex as a mere instinct, rather than something sacred that is meant to express love and be open to procreation. The document claims the law devalues marriage by making contraception freely available to all, and removes love from the sexual act. It asserts the law violates natural law by discouraging procreation. Overall, the document portrays the RH Law as undermining Catholic values around human sexuality, marriage, and the family.
Muska and Abbott Behavioral Health Report
This document summarizes New Mexico's behavioral healthcare crisis and proposes reforms. Key points:
- New Mexico faces high rates of substance abuse and mental illness that burden the state financially and socially.
- Previous reforms failed to create an effective, coordinated system, and a 2013 scandal further divided stakeholders.
- The summary argues that simply increasing funding will not solve problems and that New Mexico must reform its system through more effective policies rather than looking to the dysfunctional US federal system for guidance or funds.
Reconstructing the social determinants of health
Dr Simon Duffy of the Centre for Welfare Reform explores how we can reconstruct the social determinants of health and begin to address the real drivers of inequality and poor health. This talk was given to leaders of public health in Yorkshire.
Health Justice Conversation - Donnella Mills & Tessa Boyd-Caine

The document discusses improving mental health and criminal justice outcomes through community-based solutions. It notes that the current mental health system is fragmented and fails to address the needs of those with severe mental illness, leading to unnecessary costs. The Bexar County, Texas model created a county-wide jail diversion program through collaboration between law enforcement, courts, treatment providers, and other stakeholders. Key outcomes included reduced incarceration and revocation rates, lower healthcare costs, and over 800 empty jail beds.
Sonia Shaikh bs 3 2 k18-mc-144-outlines of social issues-revised
This document outlines three social issues in the Faqeer jo Pir to Phulyli area: drug abuse, child labor, and encroachment. For drug abuse, 60% of the population is addicted, and the issue began with increased demand for drugs after independence. Child labor affects 30% of children in the area due to poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment. Finally, 25% of roads are illegally occupied due to interests of authorities and their supporters. The government and related departments are responsible for resolving these issues, but corruption and lack of enforcement have limited progress.
Compare and Contrast: US Health Care and the Netherlands Health Care
The document compares the health care systems of the United States and Netherlands. It finds that while government health care expenditures as a percentage of total spending are similar between the two countries, total per capita health care expenditures are much higher in the US. The standard coverage provided in the Netherlands includes broader benefits like access to general practitioners and dental for those under 18, while out-of-pocket costs for individuals are higher as a percentage of private spending. Both countries require residents to have health insurance and penalize those who do not comply.

Citizens Engagement with the State: Experiences from Guatemala by Walter FloresMaking All Voices Count
This was presented as part of a research workshop held at the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) on 30 April 2015, in partnership with the Global Partnership for Social Accountability (GPSA) and the Transparency Accountability Initiative (TAI). The focus of the workshop was on "the quest for citizen-led accountability - looking into the state."
This presentation explored how citizens and NGOs in Guatemala have engaged with the state in citizen-led accountability initiatives. What are 'collaboration', 'constructive engagement' and 'confrontation' in accountability work, who defines them, and how can citizen-led initiatives deploy these approaches to the state as part of their strategy?Executive orders recognize mental health needs for career to life balance - W...

One-child policy
The document summarizes China's one-child and two-child population policies. The one-child policy, introduced in 1979, aimed to limit population growth through restrictions on family size and late marriage. It was effective but also caused negative effects like gender imbalance and population aging. In 2016, China introduced a universal two-child policy to address these issues and balance the population structure. The two-child policy may help ease aging pressures and boost the labor force, but could also increase household costs and housing demand. Overall the document recommends continuing the two-child policy with measures to relieve living pressures for young families.

Digging Into the Root Causes of Health Inequities
This document discusses the root causes of health inequities. It defines key terms like health disparity, health equity, and structural inequities. Structural racism and social determinants of health are identified as major drivers of inequities. Racism creates health inequities through chronic stress, differential access to resources, living conditions, and increased biological "wear and tear". The four faces of power and how they are used to maintain oppression are outlined. Historical policies around housing, the war on drugs, and others are discussed as perpetuating structural racism. Advancing health equity requires understanding these complex social and political factors.

This document summarizes the history of efforts in the United States to promote health equity and address healthcare disparities, especially for racial and ethnic minority groups. It discusses how the Freedmen's Bureau Act of 1865 was the first major federal policy aimed at improving access to healthcare, food, education and other social services for vulnerable populations after the Civil War, but was terminated after seven years. Over a century later, reports on racial disparities in health status prompted further federal policies in the 1980s-1990s. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 represented the most comprehensive health reform law intended to advance health equity. However, repealing the ACA remains controversial and could jeopardize protections for millions of Americans and roll

The 17th century
During the 17th century leech therapy was a popular cure all for all health issues. It was said that the leeches would suck out any disease from the body.
During this time physicians were not used like they are today. In the 17th century the physician would go see the patient where they lived and the patient had self-home remedies they would use to cure there disease.
Dr. Bond and Benjamin Franklin founded the “Pennsylvania Hospital”. This facility was the first facility devoted to assisting mentally ill and became a major impact on the field of psychiatry. This impact open up the first American medical school known as “ University Of Pennsylvania”
Dr. Bond and Benjamin Franklin accomplishments shed a light publicly on the severity of mental illness . After they opened the ward in New York people began to see mental illness as a social issue.
These accomplishments listed above helped transform the health care system into what it is today because we are able to walk into any healthcare facility and receive proper treatment and care. In the early 17th century they didn’t have the luxury because leech therapy and self-home remedies was the answer to all issues and diseases.

Evolution of public health in brazil
This document provides an overview of the evolution of public health in Brazil. It discusses how Brazil transitioned from a centralized social security model in the early 20th century that covered only 30% of the population, to establishing a unified public health system (SUS) in 1988 that provides universal coverage. The SUS is a decentralized system that involves community participation and focuses on primary care. It has helped reduce mortality rates and improve access to health services. However, challenges remain around equity, quality, and non-communicable diseases.

The document discusses the deinstitutionalization of mental patients in the 1960s and its effects. It led to many mentally ill individuals being released from institutions and treated as outpatients through community mental health centers. However, many lacked adequate support and some became homeless or incarcerated as a result. The author has been personally affected as someone with mental illnesses who has utilized community treatment and been in institutions voluntarily. The deinstitutionalization influenced the author's studies and career focus on improving medication practices.

The document summarizes key aspects of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 in the Philippines. It declares reproductive health and rights as human rights and aims to provide universal access to medically-safe reproductive healthcare services. It defines terms like reproductive health, family planning, and maternal health. It also establishes guiding principles like prioritizing the poor's needs and respecting individuals' religious convictions regarding family planning methods.

The document summarizes key points of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 in the Philippines:
- It recognizes human rights including reproductive health and rights. The state aims to promote gender equality and women's empowerment.
- It guarantees universal access to medically-safe and legal reproductive healthcare services, especially for poor and marginalized groups.
- It aims to eradicate discriminatory practices that infringe on reproductive health rights, and promote openness to life through bringing forth only children that parents can support.
Unit-VIII M.Sc II National Mental Health Policy.pptx
The vision of the National Mental Health Policy is to promote mental health, prevent mental illness, enable recovery from mental illness, promote de- stigmatization and desegregation, and ensure socio-economic inclusion of persons affected by mental illness by providing accessible, affordable and quality health
The Story of Community Health Centers
The document summarizes the history and role of community health centers in the United States. It discusses how community health centers originated in the 1960s as part of President Johnson's War on Poverty. The first centers opened in Boston and Mississippi in 1965. Over time, community health centers have expanded across the country and now serve over 15 million people, especially low-income and uninsured populations. Community health centers are locally run nonprofit clinics that provide affordable, accessible healthcare to medically underserved communities.
Welfare and drugs
Welfare is a system put in place by governments and charities in the 1930s to help people in need. It provides assistance through programs like housing and food assistance. However, not all who receive welfare use the funds properly, as studies found that around 10% of welfare recipients in 2011 were using illicit drugs. Some states have implemented drug testing for welfare to help ensure funds are used responsibly, though others argue this approach is unconstitutional. The debate continues over balancing assistance for those in need with preventing misuse of welfare programs and funds.
Development of psychiatric in 20 th century
Institutionalization involved committing individuals to state mental hospitals for custodial care, which became overcrowded and underfunded. Deinstitutionalization began in the 1950s-1960s due to new psychiatric medications, cost pressures, and a shift toward community-based care. While intended to be more humane and give patients freedom, deinstitutionalization also resulted in problems as not all patients could adjust to independent living without proper support systems.
RH Bill in the Philippines
This presentation was created before the bill was passed. The RH is now a law so it is definitely no longer called as RH BILL but rather RH LAW. I hope this will still be useful esp. to those who do not know the law itself.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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.

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).

Mental Health
- 1. Mental Health By Arzu Khwaja
- 4. In the early 20th century, the treatment and conditions of the mentally ill in asylums were harsh, brutal and inhumane. They were isolated in institutions and discourage to enter society. They also had no opportunity to lead normal lives. The institutions were state facilities.
