Protective services.
Protective services are a system of continuing socio-legal services designed to assist individuals who are unable to manage their own resources or to protect themselves from neglect, abuse, exploitation or degrading treatment and to help them exercise their rights as citizens. This system ensures that no right of a person with a developmental disability shall be modified without due process. It must be emphasized that insofar as protective services are concerned, it is not the services that are distinctive but rather the individual for whom the services are intended, along with reasons why the services are being provided.
Protective services shall be provided under applicable sections of chs.
, Stats., and applicable sections of the department's administrative code.
If any developmental disabilities services are provided as part of protective services, they shall comply with the appropriate standard.

Subchapter IV — Community Mental Health Programs
Inpatient program - introduction and definitions.
The following standards have been developed for community inpatient mental health services receiving state aids, whether directly operated by counties or contracted with private providers. The standards are intended to be consistent with those stated in Standards for Psychiatric Facilities, published by the American Psychiatric Association, 1969; with the psychiatric footnotes to the Accreditation Manual for Hospitals, published by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals, December, 1970; and with recent federal court decisions in Wisconsin and other states. They are intended to insure that each mental health inpatient service will provide appropriate treatment to restore mentally disordered persons to an optimal level of functioning and return them to the community at the earliest possible date. In order to do this the service must:
DHS 61.70(1)(a)
Have an ethical, competent staff responsible for carrying out a comprehensive treatment program;
DHS 61.70(1)(b)
Integrate its services with those provided by other facilities in the county which serve the mentally ill, mentally retarded, and alcoholics and drug abusers;
DHS 61.70(1)(c)
Preserve the dignity and rights of all its patients; and
DHS 61.70(1)(d)
Be responsive to the needs of its community.
As used in this subchapter:
DHS 61.70(2)(a)
"Community mental health inpatient services", hereafter called "services", means a county-operated unit, general hospital psychiatric unit, or private psychiatric hospital whose primary objective is to provide care and intensive treatment for the mentally ill, alcoholics and drug abusers.
DHS 61.70(2)(b)
"Patient" means anyone receiving care in a community mental health inpatient service.

DHS 61.71(1)(b)2.
Aides and other paraprofessionals.
Each service shall employ a sufficient number of aides or other paraprofessionals to provide a ratio of 1.25 hours of such time per patient per day. In computing this ratio, dietary, maintenance and housekeeping staff, volunteers or building security shall not be included as aides. There shall be at least one aide or other treatment staff person on duty in each ward when patients are present to insure adequate patient supervision. In determining adequate care the department has the authority to determine what constitutes units of coverage. Paraprofessionals entitled mental health technicians or mental health workers may be employed. They shall be selected on the basis of their personal qualities and aptitude. They must have a period of orientation and inservice training, and work under the supervision designated treatment staff.
DHS 61.71(1)(c)
Activity therapy.
Each service shall employ at least one full-time registered occupational therapist and one certified occupational therapy assistant or a graduate of the division of mental hygiene's Activity Therapy Assistant Course. Where other health care services are located in the same or continuous property, one full-time occupational therapist may serve the other health care service as well as the inpatient mental health services. The mental health inpatient service shall maintain a ratio of 1.6 hours of activity therapy staff time per patient per week. A registered music therapist or art therapist may fill the requirement for activity therapy positions after one registered occupational therapist has been employed. Where work therapy is utilized, each service shall designate the registered occupational therapist, unless the service has employed a vocational rehabilitation counselor. In this circumstance the vocational rehabilitation counselor shall be in charge of industrial therapy.

DHS 61.71(1)(f)
A special exception to any of the foregoing personnel requirements may be granted in unusual circumstances, if a service develops an alternative proposal, satisfactory to the department, to provide an innovative approach to patient care, which provides levels of services equivalent to those required in these standards. An exception may also be granted to a proposal which substitutes personnel with qualifications equal to those listed above.
Program content.
DHS 61.71(2)(a)
Therapeutic milieu.
DHS 61.71(2)(a)1.
General consideration. An important factor in a mental health treatment program in an inpatient service is a therapeutic atmosphere. Although intangible, the presence or lack of this atmosphere is pervasive and immediately apparent. It is important that all staff members treat each patient with respect, providing all freedoms his or her condition permits and allowing the patient to retain a sense of individuality, freedom of choice and independence. Patients shall be encouraged to behave appropriately and in a socially acceptable way. Patients shall be permitted to dress in individually selected street clothing and retain sentimentally important personal possessions as clinically indicated. They shall be permitted to write letters, subject to restrictions only as clinically indicated. Home-like living quarters with drapes, pictures and furnishings shall be provided, and normal needs for privacy and feelings of modesty respected. Conversely, severe restriction of freedom of movement by prison-like practices; implicit or explicit expectations of dangerous, unpredictable behavior; use of punishment, especially seclusion and restraint, in the guise of therapy; exploitation of patient labor; use of spoons only as eating utensils and the like, shall not be permitted.
DHS 61.71(2)(a)2.
Staff functions.
To maximize the therapeutic effect of hospitalization, all aspects of mental health inpatient care must be integrated into a continuous treatment program. The activities of all staff— psychiatrists, physicians, psychologists, social workers, activity therapists, nurses, aids, chaplains and others—must be coordinated in a concerted treatment effort, utilizing the special skills and roles of each in a complementary manner to effect a total therapeutic purpose. The services of volunteers must be used in the same way. The specific treatment responsibilities of psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and activity therapists are generally well understood, but the contributions of volunteers and other staff, such as chaplains and food service workers, also have important implications for patients' welfare. Their work must be carried out in a manner which furthers the total treatment program. Nursing staff shall be full partners in therapeutic team and, as a significant portion of their nursing responsibilities, shall participate in activities such as group therapy, supportive counseling, and socializing experience for patients. Mental health aides are valuable contributors to the therapeutic milieu. As staff members who are constantly in close contact with patients, their activities are to be geared carefully to provide patients with emotional support and respite from inquiry into their difficulties, promote their independence, and provide them with companionship and assistance in personal care and grooming, recreational activities, social behavior, care of property and day to day living.
DHS 61.71(2)(b)
Every newly received patient shall be evaluated by the professional staff within 48 hours after admission. This evaluation shall include psychiatric examination, the initiation of family contact and social history taking, and psychological examination when indicated. A plan of treatment and/or disposition shall be formulated and periodically reviewed. Progress notes on all cases shall be written frequently and regularly as the patient's condition requires, but in no instance less than once a week.
DHS 61.71(2)(c)
Clinical records.
The mental health inpatient service shall maintain a current treatment plan and clinical record on each patient admitted to the service.
DHS 61.71(2)(d)
Drug and somatic therapy.
Every patient deemed an appropriate candidate shall receive treatment with modern drugs and somatic measures in accordance with existent laws, established medical practice, and therapeutic indications as determined by current knowledge.
DHS 61.71(2)(e)
Group therapy.
Each mental health inpatient service is encouraged to develop group therapy programs, including remotivation groups where appropriate. Nursing and aid staff should be trained in these therapy techniques.
DHS 61.71(2)(f)
Activity therapy.
The occupational therapist shall organize and maintain an activity therapy program on a year-round full time basis. This treatment and rehabilitation program shall be reality oriented and community focused. The program shall be carried on both in the facility and in the community. The activity therapy department shall also provide a program of recreational activities to meet the social, diversional and general developmental needs of all patients. A recreational therapist may be employed for this purpose. Activity therapy should be part of each patient's treatment plan and should be individually determined according to needs and limitations. The record of the patient's progress in activity therapy should be recorded weekly and kept with the patient's clinical record.
DHS 61.71(2)(g)
Industrial therapy.
Industrial therapy assignments shall be based on the therapeutic needs of the patient rather than the needs of the inpatient service. Industrial therapy shall be provided only upon written order of the psychiatrist. The written order shall become part of the patient's clinical record. The industrial therapy assignment of patients shall be reviewed by the treatment staff weekly. The review shall be written and included in the patient's clinical record. Continued use of industrial therapy will require a new order from the psychiatrist weekly.
DHS 61.71(2)(h)
Religious services.
DHS 61.71(2)(h)1.
Adequate religious services must be provided to assure every patient the right to pursue the religious activities of his or her faith.
DHS 61.71(2)(h)2.
Each service shall provide regularly scheduled visits by clergy.
DHS 61.71(2)(h)3.
Each service may utilize the services of a clinical pastoral counselor as a member of the treatment team, provided he or she has had clinical training in a mental health setting.
DHS 61.71(2)(i)
Use of mechanical restraint and seclusion.
Mechanical restraint and seclusion are measures to be avoided if at all possible. In most cases control of behavior can be attained by the presence of a sympathetic and understanding person or appropriate use of tranquilizers and sedatives upon order of the psychiatrist. To eliminate unnecessary restraint and seclusion, the following rules shall be observed.
DHS 61.71(2)(i)1.
Except in an emergency, no patient shall be put in restraints or seclusion without a medical order. In an emergency the administrator of the service or designee may give the order. Such action shall be reviewed by a physician within 8 hours.
DHS 61.71(2)(i)2.
Patients in seclusion—restraints must be observed every 15 minutes and a record kept of observations.
DHS 61.71(2)(j)
Extramural relations.
Inpatient mental health services are one component of community based comprehensive mental health program provided or contracted by the unified boards under s.
, Stats. As a component of the community based comprehensive program the inpatient service program must be integrated and coordinated with all services provided through the unified board. Evidence of integration and coordination shall be detailed in the unified board's plan. Professional staff should be used jointly by the inpatient and other services and clinical records shall be readily transferable between services.
DHS 61.71(2)(j)1.
Alternate care settings.
Every effort shall be made to find and develop facilities for patients who require medical or social care or less than full time inpatient mental health treatment. Such facilities, known as alternate care settings, shall include but not be limited to group homes, foster homes, residential care facilities, nursing homes, halfway houses, partial hospitalization and day services. Special effort shall be made to place patients in family care settings whenever possible.
DHS 61.71(2)(j)2.
Vocational rehabilitation.
The inpatient service shall establish an ongoing relationship with vocational rehabilitation counselors. Every effort shall be made to identify patients amenable to vocational rehabilitation and to refer them to the appropriate agency. Sheltered workshops shall be utilized to the fullest possible extent.
DHS 61.71(2)(j)3.
Family and community ties.
Active effort shall be made to maintain the family and community ties of all patients. In many cases the inpatient service staff must take the initiative to develop and maintain family contact. Visiting of patients in the hospital and patient visits outside the hospital shall be as frequent and as long as circumstances permit. Maintaining community ties would include such activities as arranging for patients to do their own shopping, attending church, continuing employment, and participating in recreational activities within the community.

Rehabilitation program.
The community mental health program shall be responsible for the provision of an organized rehabilitation service designed to reduce the residual effects of emotional disturbances and to facilitate the adjustment of the mentally ill, mentally handicapped and emotionally disturbed in the community through a variety of rehabilitation services.

Consultation and education program.
Prevention is as important to mental illness as it is to physical illness. Certain facts and relationships between mental illness and environmental factors, individual personal contacts, and human development stages can be the basis for sound primary prevention programs. Education programs designed to increase the understanding and acceptance of the mentally ill are especially vital as increased numbers of persons receive needed treatment in their own community. Such programs can help prevent the chronicity of recurrence of mental illness. They can bring persons to seek counsel or treatment earlier and help to remove what has been an unacceptable "label" for family, friends, and co-workers. Because consultation and education programs are required elements of community mental health programs, the activities must be as well defined, organized and provided for as those for other program elements. Mental health staff and time allocations must be made and structured consultation and education programs designed and carried out.
Consultation required personnel.
The mental health coordinator or designee shall be responsible for the consultation program. Mental health staff shall respond to individual consultation requests. In addition staff shall actively initiate consultation relationships with community service agency staff and human service personnel such as clergy, teachers, police officers and others.
Consultation service content.
DHS 61.77(2)(a)
No less than 20% of the total mental health program staff time, exclusive of clerical personnel and inpatient staff shall be devoted to consultation. The service shall include:
DHS 61.77(2)(a)1.
Case-related consultation.
DHS 61.77(2)(a)2.
Problem-related consultation.
DHS 61.77(2)(a)3.
Program and administrative consultation.
DHS 61.77(2)(b)

The former Waltons frontman Jason Plumb has figured out the key to sustaining a career in the Canadian music industry — write engaging pop songs, accumulate a stellar list of musician friends, and remain dedicated to your craft.
With 25 years under his belt, the Regina, Saskatchewan-based singer and songwriter has amassed an impressive body of work that has taken him across Canada and around the world. Winning a Juno, gold-selling records, and doing major tours with the Barenaked Ladies and Blue Rodeo have all contributed to his longevity.
Plumb has consistently created music that is accessible and unique, identifiable, and pop-friendly with edgy honesty. He engages his listener and rewards them for their faithfulness by keeping audiences spellbound with soulful performances. It's not surprising that he has been embraced by Canadian audiences and acclaimed by the industry and his peers.
His latest album with his band, The Willing, All Is More Than Both, is about coming full circle, recognizing the power of getting back to basics, and letting the repetitive nature of life just do its thing. "Whatever is, once was, and will always be." He's not talking Buddhism, but more of the rite of passage journey he's been on in the past few years. With the end of a marriage, the beginning of a new relationship, and the birth of his son, Henry, he's content with letting life decide where it will take him.
"Living the same lives over and over again and being comfortable about that. We can't really do much about the hands that we're dealt. Play them the best that you can and in the end everything works out the only way that it can.
Having written in three separate phases, there's a cyclical arc to the album. Beginning with the 10 days he spent in a hotel room in Amsterdam, running away from reality. Then after the breakup, he spent a summer at the lake healing and writing. And ending with a newfound relationship and a newborn son back home. "There's a real optimism in the songs," he explained. "It's a pretty mature record with playful rock songs."
"My son's arrival while we were recording had a positive influence on my state of mind and my performance," he explained. "It's such a big change in life. I began the album a different person than when it was done because of him."
Plumb wanted to make an album that was upbeat, accessible, and easy to perform live. "I really wanted to have songs that would go over in a smaller venues. The attitude of these songs was about having a more upbeat record without a string section. Sort of the antithesis of my last studio record, [Beauty In This World] which was really ballad-heavy and lovey-dovey. I went into this one wanting it to be upbeat."
Plumb assembled an impressive guest list that includes Steven Page and Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies), Alex Lifeson (Rush), Serena Ryder, Chic Gamine, Ian LeFeuvre (Starling, The Hundreds and Thousands), Todd Lumley (Mr. Lonely, Waltons), and Richard Underhill (Shuffle Demons). And of course, his homeboys, the exceptionally tight and talented band, appropriately dubbed, The Willing. Plumb says, "It's probably more a Jason Plumb and The Willing record than anything I've put out.
Plumb brought back Michael Phillip Wojewoda, whom he had worked with on two Walton's albums (including Cocks Crow). Wojewoda has produced some of Canada's most successful albums including Barenaked Ladies' Gordon, Great Big Sea's Something Beautiful, Ashley MacIsaac's Hi How Are You Today?, and Rheostatics' Whale Music.
The band was first to use Toronto's newly opened Revolution Recordings studios. Modeled after Abbey Road, it's an anachronistic throwback to analog's heydays. Plumb says that the room and the microphones that they were able to use "helped shape the sound of the record." They used the same console and analogue equipment he recalled working with on the early Waltons records. "Another full circle for me," he noted. "Everything that's old is new again."
However, he doesn't want to live in the past. "I don't want to be one of those artists who is always reminiscing about the 90s," he said. "I recall guys talking to us in studio about who they toured with in the 70s. I remember thinking that was a lifetime ago when you're 25. And now I find myself talking about the 90s exactly the same as those guys."
Although the Waltons never officially broke up, the band members each started doing their own thing. After his experience on a major label with the Waltons, Plumb realized it would be easier to just put out his own records, which led to the beginning of SoccerMom Records.
There are a few things that come to mind when you think about Saskatchewan. The wide-open spaces, harvest-yellow wheat fields, the Roughriders, and a burgeoning music scene. Not exactly grey enough to illicit the idea of being a godfather to that movement, Plumb is more like a scene enthusiast who discovers talent, connects the dots, and collaborates.
When wearing his label hat, he said that it made sense that he would look within his own community for new talent. "We were looking for artists and I just looked in my own band." Three members of The Willing are signed to SoccerMom and have albums coming out the same day.
"We're lucky to have such great artists to put out all of their debut records with us. I'm lucky to be in a band with three other lead singers who have their own projects and are releasing their own records. All these guys are in my band. We all live in Regina. And we're all on SoccerMom."
As Plumb rides his own personal Möbius strip, he is going with the flow and is humble about still being able to do this gig. "I consider myself lucky for a number of reasons. That I've been able to survive this long is something I don't take for granted."

katoomba, Australia | Member Since 2010
I didn't finish this audiobook because I got depressed. Faust is a legendary jerk and I wanted to understand the story behind the legend.
I suppose that I may go back to it sometime when I have a stronger stomach.
I was transfixed by the detail and honesty in this book. The flying stories were wonderful and hair raising at times. This man is a true master of his art and his story needs revisiting... and revisiting.... an aviation classic!
"a remarkable story"
I was tranfixed by this remarkable and blisteringly honest story about the banking industry. Grossly overpaid and incompetant sleezebags and scumbags at the controls of the banking industry with OTHER PEOPLE"S MONEY.
I noticed he jumped ship just before the banking bubble burst and I wish him well in his next career- because he has surely burned his bridges by his frankness....
We all have computers and we have all had malware, which I have never understood. This story concerns a worm/ virus/ or whatever that panicked everyone, but came to very little harm in the end.
There were huge efforts to sort it out without particular success. Actually, I still don't understand this stuff and the worm malware certainly vexed the people who do understand it - so I suppose we are all in for a very big kicking in the future.... we will just have to wait and see.
A bit depressing at the end of the day!
I was annoyed at the compromising attitude of this book. Basically it understates a very serious form of bad parenting and child abuse.
Narcissism, is a serious form of Personality Disorder and is a lesser form of Psychopathy. Such people are grossly destructive by choice and should in no way be indulged! Infact, like the Terminator, they can't be taught, or bargained with. Use the propositions in this book 'they will be back'! Oh the pain....
No thanks...
"OK I guess"
This boof didn't really answer many questions for me, nor did it hold my interest.
Covert Aggressive Personality Disorder: Sometimes you get the key to a code which gives an AHA! moment. We have ALL dealth with difficult people and wondered how to handle them, but like a ghost in the night they can be very elusive and very tricky.
Firstly one has to get over self doubts and realize that these creatures exist. After that one has to identify who they are and how they play their games. And their games can be very nasty and toxic indeed and build up to a fatal destructive level. This really is a pernicious relationship destroying problem, which needs to be recognised and controlled post haste whenever it arises, if harmony is going to be restored.
The point is to realize it and recognise it. I gratefully thank the author and also recommend "Working With Monsters' by Dr John Clarke as an enlightening source of further reading.
This is an extraordinary account of the history of what I thought was ordinary. I was unaware of much of what goes on in the world and for example went straight to my computer to look up Amsterdam and it window women. It is nothing less than a closer look at history, motivations and the world of people. The last chapter was particularly enlightening!
It's about time that we heard about Viet Nam- Afghanistan nexus and got some insight into what has been going on. It gives all of us some insight into the future consequences of much information that has been denied to us.
The story of the defeat of the Russians in Afghanistan and the end of the Cold War was very well told and most interesting, but the consequences of the resultant rise of the current Muslim troubles remains largely unexplained. Like a dark cloud gathering...
We live in a blizzard of falsehood dis- information, which is unfortunately swollowed by the majority of the people. It is wonderfully refreshing to have real information packaged in such a brief and trustworthy form to consider. I actually checked several of the references...
I was particularly appauled by the Judicial determination of "Justice" Higgings in Victoria Australia concerning his brown nosing political correctness. Actually, the Victorian government and it's servile Judiciary has a lot to answer for in many other ways aswell.
Straight talking dialoge has been a rare thing for a long time despite the so called 'Information Age'. Suppression has been the order of the day.
Thankyou very much!

Let me know if you are happy with that name, and then
I won't be signing up the team in one go this year, and there are a few things you all need to have prepared beforehand. Firstly, you must have a user account on shmups forum; join this with your regular user name or whatever variation of that you wish. Then, after reading the rules, make your way to the tourney registration thread, where you will need to fill out the participation form. It goes something like this:
This years' team banner (this will go in your signature on shmups forum, but isn't mandatory):
If you want to make something different, you're welcome to (though it must be 200x50 pixels or smaller), or you can make your own edit of the original (but remember to D that C)
This years' team theme song (this goes inside your heart):
The team stream, where I will provide video assistance, eat food and possibly air drum. I will post in this thread when I intend to do one the following day and at what time. Everything important garnered from that will be repeated here, so if you miss it you won't miss out; if you have timezone difficulties and still feel you need the help, I'll be more than happy to arrange a separate stream for you, provided we can find a time that won't ruin my sleep schedule :pignon2:
Remember, confirm you are happy with your name before you sign up, and if you have still any uncertainties please let me know.

Bottom-up Billy
Materials: BILLY height extension unit, BILLY wall shelf, veneer strips, stain
Description: I needed horizontal wall cabinets that would run the length of the wall and give me all the space I wanted without compromising on style. So I took a few store-bought IKEA items and turned them into a one-of-a-kind fully customized shelf unit.
For the most part, the 2 BILLY wall shelf units worked very well with the space. However there's only one option available to buy and that's the 3-shelf option (6 shelves in total). I wanted at least one more shelf to really take advantage of the whole length of the wall.
What I like best about furniture stores like IKEA is that everything's out in the open - you can find inspiration everywhere. The BILLY height extension unit caught my eye because it was the exact same size as one of the wall shelves - only without a bottom.
The first step was taking out the shelf partition and turning the extension unit upside down. I drilled in four holes for the shelf support pins so that the shelf could rest on top of them at the same height as the wall units - effectively creating another box/shelf unit that I could attach to my BILLY wall shelves.
I ironed veneer strips over the unfinished bottom edges and stained them to match the colour of the shelves.
After that was done, I drilled holes into the newly constructed unit - similar to the ones that the BILLY wall shelf unit already had - and attached everything to the wall.
Finally, I mixed it up with both glass and wooden shelves and doors to tie it all together into a fabulous and functional wall unit. The "bottom-up Billy" is the one in the middle (the one with the Japanese doll).
See more of the bottom up Billy.

I had this thought too, and it's nice to see the execution and instruction.
ReplyDelete The bottom half of the bookshelf is accessible for a medium height person and for the upper half we use a foldable leader. The reason behind this height is the fact that on the opposite wall is a murphy bed that opens till the edge of the rug and we needed the clear path to go around the bed. For more visual see http://thecinderblocks.com/2012/02/12/measure-twice-and-cut-once-orhow-to-customize-store-bought-furniture-part-1/
ReplyDeleteNow who would have thought of this? I have thought of all sorts of ideas when I go shopping for furniture and whatnot but I just didn't have the creativity and the genius to have this idea. You know, this idea would be great for a blank wall I have at my house. In fact, I'm going to do exactly what you did but I am going to play with height, so instead of a single row of shelves, I would have shelves "flying" all over my wall.

The Future of History John Lukacs

For more than sixty years, John Lukacs has been writing, teaching, and reading about the past. In this inspired volume, he turns his attention to the future. Throughout The Future of History, Lukacs reflects on his discipline, eloquently arguing that the writing and teaching of history are literary rather than scientific, comprising knowledge that is neither wholly objective nor subjective.
History at its best, he contends, is personal and participatory. Despite a recently unprecedented appetite for history among the general public, as evidenced by history television programme ratings, sales of popular history books, and increased participation in local historical societies, Lukacs believes that the historical profession is in a state of disarray. He traces a decline in history teaching throughout higher education, matched by a corresponding reduction in the number of history students. He reviews a series of short-lived fads within the profession that have weakened the fundamentals of the field.
In looking for a way forward, Lukacs explores the critical relationships between history and literature, including ways in which novelists have contributed to historical understanding. Through this startling and enlightening work, readers will understand Lukacs' assertion that "everything has its history, including history" and that history itself has a future, since everything we know comes from the past.
John Lukacs is the author of some thirty books of history, including the acclaimed Five Days in London and, most recently, The Legacy of the Second World War.
"We are in the presence of one of the most powerful, as well as one of the most learned, minds of the century." Conor Cruise O'Brien
"I consider John Lukacs one of the outstanding historians of the generation and, indeed of our time." Jacques Barzun
"There is no one who has looked at his subject as broadly, sensitively, and deeply... This is what gives all of Lukacs's works their long-term value." George F. Kennan
"No historian of the Second World War has John Lukacs's range, acuteness, intuition." Daniel Patrick Moynihan
