The documentary film "On the Edge: Mental Health in Utah" examines the issue of mental illness in Utah. It shares personal stories of those suffering from multiple mental illnesses and how the middle class often struggles the most to afford treatment. The film shows that jails have become housing for the mentally ill due to a lack of support from the government system. Proper medication and treatment are needed so that the mentally ill can live safely and be less likely to turn to criminal behavior or dangerous street drugs without support. The film highlights the seriousness of mental illness and the need for improved and affordable care to benefit both individuals and society.

Senior project proposal
This document is a senior project proposal that aims to address the growing needs of children, adolescents, and young adults coping with chronic illness while trying to lead normal lives. Nearly half of all people have a chronic condition, and divorce rates and suicide rates are high among the chronically ill. The proposal seeks to create a coping system and first step for the chronically ill to reach out for help and feel less alone by answering their questions and connecting them to a community for support. It will focus on those of working age and concentrate on gathering first-hand perspectives from people living with chronic illness to design a solution that can seamlessly blend into their lives to help them gain independence and knowledge about their condition and treatment.
Legalize all drugs
The document argues that all drugs should be legalized. It claims that drug companies kill more people than illegal drugs and that most people abuse legal drugs like ignorance, fear, and anger more than illegal substances. The document states that taking money out of the illegal drug trade would eliminate many crimes and help those with undesirable backgrounds who sell and use drugs. It concludes that all drugs need regulation and that focusing on love, meditation, and self-examination can help address inner problems and create a more sane society.

The Sacramento County Division of Behavioral Health Services is launching a new project to reduce stigma and discrimination against those with mental illness. The project will promote mental health awareness through community outreach and sharing real stories. It aims to dispel myths and encourage those with mental illness to seek help. By changing negative attitudes, the county hopes to eliminate barriers and increase access to services for individuals and families dealing with mental health issues.
Elderly abuse pp
The document provides information for law enforcement on investigating elderly abuse. It outlines physiological changes common in aging populations like vision/hearing loss and increased risk of health issues. The elderly often live alone and in poverty. Officers should communicate respectfully, assess living conditions, medication, and note any unmet needs. If abuse is suspected, the officer must immediately report it and remove any threats to ensure victim safety. As Florida's elderly population grows, effectively serving this group is important.
Healthcare Myths
In this presentation, we highlight 5 of these commonly held myths about the US healthcare industry and provide some insight into why they simply are not true.
In order to improve the overall healthcare system and create informed consumers it is necessary to negate the common myths surrounding the US healthcare system. Many myths over-simplify the complexity of an industry that generates $2.7 trillion each year and employs 16 million Americans. Other myths try to place blame for problems within the system or arise from a lack of understanding of care delivery and cost drivers within the industry.

National Council Magazine - Crisis to Recovery Edition
The article discusses the need for improved crisis services in the US. Currently, many people in crisis end up in emergency rooms without adequate care or follow up. The authors argue that a comprehensive community-based crisis system is needed to treat mental health crises with the same urgency as physical health emergencies. Examples from some states and communities show promising approaches, including using data and technology for real-time coordination, and peer-based crisis services that provide support in home-like settings rather than institutions. The authors call for a national effort to transform crisis mental health care.

Love Your Self By Helping Others
About this guide
If someone you care about is struggling with a drug or alcohol problem, an intervention can be a turning point, a realization there is a serious problem that requires professional help. You can conduct an intervention on your own. Alternatively, there are professional interventionists that can assist you on a fee-for-service basis. If you are concerned enough about a loved one to be reading this, you should seriously consider taking action. The worst thing you can do is stand by and do nothing. Someone with an addiction is often surrounded by people who want him or her to get better.

Stigmatization of Mental Illness
The document discusses several myths and facts related to mental health. It notes that mental health problems are very common, affecting 1 in 5 American adults and half of children by age 14. However, less than 20% of children with mental health issues receive treatment. Additionally, the vast majority of people with mental illness are not violent. The document aims to dispel several common myths and promote understanding of mental health issues.
Stigma and stereotypes: unconditional positive regard
This document discusses the stigma faced by substance users and how it undermines recovery. It provides quotes from substance users about feeling ashamed to seek help from doctors due to stigma. Stigma restricts access to assistance and discourages efforts toward recovery and employment. Public attitudes spread through media often perpetuate stigma. Training professionals and having them interact with substance users can help reduce stigma, as can focusing on positive stories of change. Throughout the resource, readers are exposed to recovery stories in order to help reduce self-stigma and encourage mutual aid and recovery principles that support positive self-worth.

Elder mistreatment
Elder mistreatment involves harm or risk of harm to elderly persons by caregivers or trusted individuals. It can take various forms including physical, psychological, sexual, financial abuse, and neglect. Risk factors relate to characteristics of victims, abusers, and external stressors. Abuse may occur at home or in institutions. Prevention requires education while management requires a multidisciplinary approach including medical care, social services, and legal assistance. Identification of abuse involves recognizing physical and behavioral signs, with healthcare providers playing an important role.
Abuse and neglect
This document discusses elder abuse, including definitions, statistics, types of abuse, and potential indicators of abuse. It defines elder abuse as harmful acts toward elderly adults, including physical, sexual, emotional/psychological, financial exploitation, and neglect. Statistics show most elder abuse is unreported due to victims knowing their abusers.

Elder Abuse Power Point
Elder abuse is defined as a single or repeated act that causes harm or distress to an older person within a relationship where trust is expected. Common types of elder abuse include psychological, financial, physical, and neglect. Analyses found that adult children and spouses or partners are most often the abusers. Professionals and victims may discount abuse by believing it is not a problem or that nothing can be done. Institutional abuse involves the failure of an organization to provide an appropriate service for older adults. Signs of abuse include injuries, malnutrition, poor hygiene, and behavioral changes. Responding appropriately involves listening without judgment, documenting concerns, ensuring safety, and monitoring the situation.
Introduction to stigma and stereotypes: people with problematic substance use
Introduction to stigma and stereotypes: people with problematic substance useWorkingwithsubstanceabuse
This document discusses stigma related to substance use. It defines stigma as a "stain or attribute" that marks someone as unacceptable and leads to prejudice and discrimination. Negative labels used to describe those with substance use issues are stigmatizing and promote judgmental attitudes. This stigma can fuel a vicious cycle where people use drugs or alcohol to cope with feeling shamed and stereotyped. Health practitioners are key to breaking this cycle by adopting a growth mindset that believes anyone is capable of change with the right help, rather than thinking some people cannot be helped. The document advocates for person-centered care where service users can work in partnership with practitioners through good communication and tailored information.Summary

This document discusses the impact of alcoholism on individuals, families, and society. Some key points:
- Approximately 7.4% of American adults meet criteria for alcohol abuse or alcoholism, and over half of adults have a close family member who is or was an alcoholic.
- Alcoholism increases family conflict, stress, and isolation while decreasing cohesion and organization. It also negatively impacts children by lacking parenting and communication.
- Adult children of alcoholics have higher rates of depression, anxiety, addiction, and difficulties in relationships. They are more likely to marry an addict themselves or enable destructive behaviors in others.
- True recovery involves accepting that addicts have lost the ability to control their substance use and relying
Art therapy as emotional
This document summarizes an article about using art therapy and in-home therapy to provide mental health support for Native Americans living with HIV/AIDS. Historical and personal trauma from events like genocide, forced relocation, and abuse have left this population distrustful of services and facing mental health issues. The Family & Child Guidance Clinic uses a Bowen family systems approach and integrates art therapy to address trauma, substance abuse, and isolation in a culturally-sensitive manner. In-home therapy was also introduced to engage isolated clients who were not accessing clinic services. The goal is to empower clients and help them manage mental health issues so they adhere to medical treatment for their HIV/AIDS.
Elderly abuse
Elder abuse is defined as any knowing, intentional, or negligent act by a caregiver or other person that causes harm or risk of harm to an elderly person. Elder abuse can take several forms, including physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse as well as health care fraud. Some signs of elder abuse are unexplained injuries, weight loss, or financial exploitation. Prevention strategies include educating those who work with elders, providing support to caregivers, and reporting any suspected abuse.
ARGEC: Elder abuse and maltreatment
Elder abuse is a widespread problem affecting millions of older Americans each year. It most often occurs at the hands of family caregivers and goes unreported. Common types of elder abuse include physical, emotional, sexual, and financial abuse as well as neglect. Those at highest risk tend to be females over 80 with physical or cognitive impairments. Screening tools can help identify abuse, while interventions aim to increase awareness, reporting, and support for victims and their caregivers. Adult protective services investigate reports of abuse and provide assistance.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

- 1. On the Edge: Mental Health in Utah Watching the video “On the Edge Mental Health in Utah” was a very interesting film. The film clearly gives personalexperience of people suffering with multiple mental illness. The film expressed how mental illness has been under looked if you are not rich or extremely poor. The middle class find themselves in the hardeststruggleon trying to maintain oneself or their loved one’s illness affordably. Many explained how jail has become the new housing of people with mental illness. Our systemseems broken into combining criminal behavior with mental illness. Although I believe no crime should go unnoticed, it seems more often that the mental ill are predominately in our rehabilitation system. The problem lies on proper medication or supportin our government system. Everyoneshould be able to treatment so we all can live in a safer environment. If people suffer froma mental illness as bipolar, schizophrenia, depression, PTSD, acute anxiety disorder or any other disorder they should be evaluated upon awareness and be prescribed proper medication to cope in society. The rage and confusion that stays inside a person’s mentalillness without proper care can be unpredictable, uncontrollable, and violent in nature. People who can’t afford proper medication usually tends to resortto dangerous streetdrugs, which increase our crime rates and suicide rate. There is no cure for mental illness, but there is proper medication to help people stay balanced and maintain some sortof control. 230K Utahan suffer frommental illness and are not receiving the proper care. Increasejail, suicide, and hospital bills come from the low funding we receive fromour governmentto treat the illness. This video gives great insight on a growing issuewithin our society. I believe the governmentneeds to come with better solution to better our communities. Itstarts with affordable treatment and proper medication. When one is under proper care they are less likely to turn to criminal activity. The film “On the Edge: Mental health in Utah,” is a great documentary film that gives information over the big issuein surrounding a major concern in our society. Itis important for people to stay talking to a psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, M.D, of any sortto get proper treatment. Unfortunately, somedon’t realize they have a problem until it’s too late. People don’t beg to be mental ill so they should
- 2. not be isolated in society but instead nurtured back to health and given some purposeof positive life. Although there are people who don’t want the stigma of being “crazy” they fight their condition and end up in jail or near death. The essential point is mental illness is a serious condition and can be hazardous around others. Mental disorders/illness should always bepriority to treat so we can all live in a safer world.
