Child molestation is the act of sexually touching a child. Today, 2 out of 10 girls and 1 out of every 10 boys has been molested. In fact, 13 million children are molested before they are 14 years old!
And most never tell because they are ashamed, are afraid of the molester, or fear no none will believe them. The fact is, 90% of sex abusers molest children close to them....family members, neighbors, or children of of parents in their social circle, not strangers.
More than one-third of marriages end in painful divorce. But the choices you make during divorce will influence your child's health and well-being over a lifetime.
The stakes are high. Kids from divorce families often experience higher rates of teen pregnancy, more diffilulties in school, and challenges in their own marriages. Two of the biggest predictors? The amount of conflict between you and your spouse and the amount of support from friends and family.
Eating disorders of all types-from Anorexia and Bulimia to binge eating and obesity-are on the rise among children, teens, women, men, and athletes. Because eating disorders are one of the few psychiatric disorders you can directly die from, it's critical to understand why your eating is disordered and take active steps for recovery.
Depression is a mood disorder with symptoms that can range from mild to life-threatening. It's a complicated disorder because it can negatively impact so many aspects of a person's life, from physical health and job performance to parenting and personal relationships. People who are depressed feel helpless and hopeless that life will never improve.

This Webinar was presented on Tuesday, February 15, 2011, as part of the free monthly series from Friends for Youth's Mentoring Institute with Special Presenter John Stirling, M.D.
Clinicians caring for victims of early abuse or neglect are often puzzled at their inability to respond to a more consistent and caring environment, including mentoring. This presentation synthesizes concepts from developmental neurobiology, attachment theory, and family ecology to help participants understand the obstacles faced in leaving abuse behind, and to suggest paths to more effective therapy. Mentoring is an important component in treatment and there will be a special focus on understanding the Big Picture regarding early trauma, including the physiologic response to stresses, learned helplessness, and intrauterine drug exposure, to show how these children and youth react differently and need special handling.

Child Abuse Molestation Protection Program - AdministratorsJohn M. Sadler
It is strongly recommended that each sports organization should customize its own program to meet its own unique needs. The board of directors should involve both coaches and parents in the planning process, as they will be more likely to promote the program if their input was received.

Children who live with domestic violence face a high risk of exposure to traumatizing events, neglect, being directly abused, and losing one or both of their parents,
When they witness abuse at home, children also grow up anxious, fearful, and hopeless. They are often insecure and worried about the future. They are at high risk for substance abuse, dropping out of school, and the complications that come with chronic stress-related disorders.
By nature, teens are volatile emotionally and stressed by increasing pressures from parents, society, and peers to over-achieve academically, be popular, and fit and unrealistic body image ideal.
What can you do as a parent? Stay close to your teen-ager. Know where she is and what he is doing. Be a positive role model in the choices you make. Your teen learns by watching what you do, not what you say.
The idea that someone would deliberately hurt themselves is difficult of many of us to understand, but self-injuring--cutting, burning, scab picking--are increasingly and on the rise, especially in adolescent girls.
Deemed "the new Anorexia," self-injury behaviors commonly afflict middle and upper class teenage girls with average to high intelligence and low self-esteem. They are the "invisible" kids who get good grades and have nice friends. However, ninety percent of suffers have experienced some type of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse.
It is a normal process, not a psychiatric disorder. Everyone moves through grief at their won pace and in their own way, It's a lifelong process.
Seek help from a qualified therapist if you feel stuck in your grief, you don't want to burden your close friends with your grief, or you want to provide active support to someone who is grieving.
Marriage and Family Therapists (MFT's) are relationship experts. They work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and the elderly, providing support and perspective as patients struggle with life's challenges.
In some countries, the elderly enjoy and elevated social status because of their life experience and the wisdom they have to share. An extensive family network shares responsibility for older family member, who view it as an honor and opportunity to repay the debt of those who cared for them when they were small.
Regardless of where u live though, you have several options on how you choose to proceed with divorce and child custody/visitation issues, You can file for divorce yourself, hire an attorney to represent you in court, or go ti mediation with your spouse, California law requires you to include a parenting plan when you file for divorce.
Remember, the choices you make now will impact the emotional and financial well-being of you and your children for years to come.
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, is a serious and common condition that affects up to 20 percen of American adults. While we may feel like we should be able to carry on with life, sometimes traumatic memories become so disabling that we can no longer cope or function.
The Treatment of
Abused Children
'
TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS IN
WORKING WITH ABUSED CHILDREN
When assessing the treatment needs of abused children and
formulating treatment plans, it is vital to consider a number
of issues such as, among other things, the phenomenological
impact of the abuse, the family's level of dysfunction, the
environmental stability, the age of the child, and the child's
relationship to the offender.
The actual act of abuse is usually only one of myriad
experiences the child endures. More often than not, the recog
nition and reporting of the abuse to the authorities sets into
motion a number of legal and protective interventions that are
perplexing and anxiety-provoking to the child. Consequently,
the treatment of abused children is multidimensional and will
likely include an array of services including individual,
parent-child, group, and family therapy-all delivered within
the context of social service and legal systems that operate
within their own regulations and limitations.
37
38 THE HEALING POWER OF PLAY
The therapy of abused children includes the monitoring
of risk factors, coordination with a variety of agencies, ad
herence to requests for periodic reports, and a focus on
processing of the child and family's trauma, as well as inter
vention in intricate family dynamics, observation of parent
child interactions, work with foster families or other tem
porary caretakers for the child, advocacy efforts, testifying
in court as needed, and other special activities that are
discussed in the final chapter of this book.
The Phenomenological Experience
First and foremost, it is urgent to view each child's ex
perience as unique. References were made to "mediators of
abuse" earlier in this book, and there might be a temptation
to judge the impact of abuse by certain yardsticks, such as
the duration of the abuse, the severity, how many symptoms
arise, who the perpetrator was, or how the child appears. The
reality is that children react differently, and although the
research can serve as a kind of global map of common reper
cussions, only close examination will reveal the subtle
landmarks.
I once worked with a family of five children, ages two,
four, seven, ten, and fifteen, whose home was burned down
as a result of a freak gas explosion. The parents made swift
and appropriate responses, buying the children duplicates of
their favorite things, talking to them in a group about the
experience, and bringing themselves and the children for
some family counseling sessions. The parents commanded
authority, coped well with their stress, and conveyed positive
feelings to the children, centering on the fact that they had
all survived and that that was the most miraculous and
important thing. The parents also had the financial means
to rent a comfortable home, and their insurance provided
substantial compensation for erecting a new home. The

Welcome to the Program Your Destiny course. In this course, we will be learning the technology of personal transformation, neuroassociative conditioning (NAC) as pioneered by Tony Robbins. NAC is used to deprogram negative neuroassociations that are causing approach avoidance and instead reprogram yourself with positive neuroassociations that lead to being approach automatic. In doing so, you change your destiny, moving towards unlocking the hypersocial self within, the true self free from fear and operating from a place of personal power and love.
