Mission Statement
The mission of Behavioral Health Services is to serve the citizens of Rusk County suffering from mental illness or substance abuse and dependence.
To provide emergency and short-term services focused on the primary treatment need of the client that will assist in their stabilization within the community.
To stabilize means the emotional and psychological health of the individual is restored to a point, where the individual is able to function within the community with existing support services.
Support Services
Support services are identified as a continuum of community resources, which include but not limited to; faith based providers, historical community groups i.e. Alcoholics Anonymous, Short-term contracted Behavioral Health/AODA services, and agencies located within the community that provide a host of behavioral health/AODA services.
In using the information contained on this web site, there are a few prefacing remarks that should be kept in mind:
This information is not all-inclusive reflection of statutes related to issues with individuals suffering from AODA or Mental Health Illness. Most policies and procedures related to jurisdiction over individuals suffering from AODA or Mental Health Illness are contained in the statutes and HFS Administrative Codes.
Policies may not be adopted that are in contradiction to statute. Therefore, in cases in which either through error or oversight, policies not consistent with statute/administrative code, the statutory or administrative code language is governing.
Within statute and policy, in those cases in which the Court feels that an exception to the general policy is necessary, the Court may make exceptions consistent with the best interest of the individual, and the goals and principles of the Rusk County Circuit Court. By their nature, the lives and situations of individuals presented to the Court are unique and require the thoughtful consideration of individual factors.
Behavioral Health - Emergency Services
As put forth in Wisconsin State Statutes, the Rusk County Department of Health and Human Services is responsible to provide for emergency services for the citizens of the County.
Emergency services are identified as follows;
Emergency Detention: action taken through local law enforcement agencies, which ensures the safety of the individual and the community.
Rusk County Health and Human Services will maintain a contractual relationship with the provider for the services articulated under Wisconsin chapter 51.15.

Behavioral Health - Intensive Services Assessment
Although not mandated by State Statute, and available based on financial resources the Intensive Services Program allows for the utilization of concentrated/long term services developed through a treatment plan that focuses on the stabilization of the client.
These criteria are meant to be a guideline for making a decision to serve a client under the ISA Program. Most of the following should be present to warrant a referral and further screening for appropriateness.
Based on the independent assessment a treatment plan will be developed that will identify services/providers that will assist the client in their stabilization in the least restrictive living environment.
Behavioral Health - Mental Health AODA Clinical Records
Policy: All mental health and AODA clinical records of clients serviced by the county or county designated provider will be assigned to a "Keeper of the Record." Formal releases of information will be required for any unauthorized individual to access the information in the record. Records kept by the county will be stored for 10 years from the date of case closure, unless otherwise specified by WI administrative codes and statutes.
Purpose: Ownership, storage, handling, disposal and release of information from the behavioral health record shall be in accordance with WI Stat. 51.30, HFS 92, and HFS 61.97
Procedure: All mental health and AODA open clinical records are records of individuals who are actively being treated for their diagnosable illness. The agency that is providing the primary care for the individual shall be designated the keeper of the clinical record, whether that agency is Rusk County Health and Human Services or a contracted agency of the department.
Clients who choose to access services with a county contracted agency or agency of their choosing will be asked to sign an informed consent releasing information to that agency, entitling that agency to be keeper of their clinical record. (See attached form) If an agency becomes the keeper of the record, Rusk County Health and Human Services will issue a statement to be signed by a designee of the agency, indicating this agency's new responsibility, at the request of the client, to be keeper of the record. (See attached form)
Clients may choose to transfer their clinical records to another provider who will be providing care for them if their relationship with the agency that is keeping their record is terminated. In this case, the agency keeping the record will maintain custody of the original record, now closed, and the new provider may receive photocopies of the necessary clinical information at the written request of the client. The procedure will be in accordance with the agency's policy and procedure manual with regard to clinical records.
Closed records maintained by Rusk County Health and Human Services will be stored in a locked, metal file cabinet within a locked room and will be kept for a minimum of 10 years from the date of closure. Records for minors will be kept for 10 years or until the person turns 19 years of age, whichever is longer. Records relating to legal actions shall be maintained until completion of the legal action.

Meta Blogging - How do I wake up?
I'm starting to feel the effects of sleep, and I still have at least seven hours of blogging left. Usually 2 am doesn't affect me like this, but I woke up at 7am and I've slept like crap the last three days. I think I can stay awake, but the hard part is actually coming up with coherent thoughts. Before I was ahead by a half hour, now I feel like I have about 15 minutes a post because I'm starting to move slower and slower.
So, suggestions? Caffeine? Running around to music? Giving up and letting my inner insanity take over my posts?
PS: Lost at the art contest, aw. Oh well.

Take a shower? Put up the music. More caffeine, more direct injections of it.ReplyDelete
Go nuts, go wild, do whatever you need to do to keep moving.
Yeah. I second what he said!ReplyDelete
At least you get to go to bed when it's done.ReplyDelete
I hope.
Brighter lighting helps me when I need to pull all-nighters.ReplyDelete
Tricks my body into thinking it's morning/lunchtime rather than 3 am, meaning it stops producing so much melatonin, etc...
The usual energetic music/etc suggestions will probably help to, but you'll have gotten them 10 times before I hit "post comment" :P Crank the lights up, turn on a lamp, have some fruit(some sugar, but not likely to draw all your blood to your digestive system and make you even more tired like a heavy meal would)
Cold Shower,ReplyDelete
Video Gaming will do it too, just play some Civ 4, and about the time it comes to drop a new post, simply alt+tab and when you are done back to telling China to shove it because you have horsemen and Christianity on your side. And that they can take themselves and their taoist spearmen back to the mountains they belong.
You know, Kassul, I actually prefer a large breakfasty-meal. Bacon, eggs, hashbrowns. It kicks me in the pants.ReplyDelete
Oooh. Civ 4.ReplyDelete
... Now I want to play Civ4. CURSE YOU! Now I will be lost to the winds!ReplyDelete
As for meals, smaller ones do me better, because big ones make me sleepy.
Light makes me sleepy too, actually.
I am definitely getting me some praetorians.ReplyDelete
Noooooooooo! Don't leave me for Civ 4! I need your comments to keep coming! YOU CAN'T PLAY IF I CAN'T O_OReplyDelete
Jen, calm down. I have two monitors. I have your blog up, and some colonists, colonizing the new world.ReplyDelete
I usually go for a longish bike ride or run. It wakes you up and, bonus, gives you time to think about what you're going to write.ReplyDelete
I'm not going anywhere. I've commented on everything thus far, and I'm not going to stop before you stop!ReplyDelete
Inner insanity, obvs.ReplyDelete
I find that brushing my teeth really helps me wake up. Someone suggested it in '07 and I tried it - works like a charm. Showering is also good, especially if it's a cool one. Other than that, getting up and moving helps. Dance, sing, keep yourself occupied.ReplyDelete

SELMA – California's $44 billion agricultural industry faces a worsening labor shortage as farmworkers age and fewer migrants from Mexico come to replace them.
The Sacramento Bee reports the state's farming workforce is aging and shrinking for several reasons, including tightening immigration enforcement and an improving economy in Mexico.
In addition, farmworkers say their children aren't interested in field work.
The California Farm Bureau Federation says more than 70 percent of state agricultural producers expect a worker shortage starting this spring and worsening through the growing season.
Experts say the declining number of farmworkers could prompt growers to switch to crops that require less labor.
Lawmakers and farm lobbyists are discussing remedies, including granting legal status to more than 1 million undocumented farmworkers and expanding the number of visas for agriculture.

Georgia Professors Teach Undocumented Students—for Free
Undocumented young people in Georgia are fighting for access to higher education with support from the ACLU and a group of professors who have volunteered to teach college-level courses for free.
Georgia's Board of Regents adopted a policy in 2010 that prevents undocumented students from attending the state's top five public universities. The policy "is based on a misunderstanding of federal immigration law," according to a letter from the ACLU to the Board of Regents.
Georgia is one of three states that exclude undocumented students from full access to higher education, even when the federal government recognizes the student's right to be in the United States under Department of Homeland Security regulations. The other 47 states either apply no exclusion policies to such students or require them to pay out-of-state tuition.
Students and professors protested the state's policy at a March 6 rally on the University of Georgia (UGA) campus. The rally was organized by Freedom University, which provides college-level classes for students who can't enroll at UGA because of their undocumented status. Named after the "freedom schools" of the civil rights movement, Freedom University was started in 2011 by a group of professors at the request of undocumented students. It operates on the principle that "you can stop me from going to a UGA classroom, but you can't stop a UGA professor from teaching me," said Melissa Padilla, a 22-year-old Freedom University student who also serves as a representative on the organization's board.
Freedom University doesn't receive official funding, but donations of books and money poured in from all over the country when the group was launched. Every week, volunteers drive students to Freedom University classes. Padilla says that sort of support, and the determination of the students, makes her confident that Freedom University will keep going strong as the legal battle over education for the undocumented in Georgia continues.

No comparison when you
look at Reagan, Obama
Hey, David Casson, I can just imagine all the spittle from laughing that lands on the Opinion page after reading the rabble and idiotic ranting you and your like-minded liberal "people" spew.
But, let's take presidents — Ronald Reagan for one. When he raised the debt, he did it in conjunction with creating more than 1 million jobs, cutting a lot of pork, strengthening our military and dropping unemployment to less than 5.5 percent.
Then, he was re-elected with the largest mandate the American people ever gave — the polar opposite of this ... wait ... I can hardly say it ... yuk ... president.
But you have him now, so keep track. I will. Let's keep the real truth about what's going on; don't just sit and stare at your keyboard. If you hear or read something you know is not true, then join me and expose it. But, make sure you can prove it.
I can!
Larry Lucas
It's not gangbangers and
mentally ill killing people
We have a problem in America when it comes to guns and crime.
First, let me say neither gangbangers nor mentally ill people shot former Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords or those children at school and in the theater. It was average white people who turned those legal store-bought weapons on their fellow man. They planned it and executed it as any professional killer would.
Yet, society comes to their rescue, stating they have mental issues. Point — Who doesn't have issues with authority?
So, we go into this big debate about what measures can be taken in light of these killings. Instead of addressing the issue in the open, the finger goes back to the gangbangers and the mentally ill.
Our elected leaders closed the mental health facilities and started sending them to jail instead to use as labor in the prison sweat shops. That's where the jobs are.
Now comes the gangbanger, who has no chance of getting out of a fixed environment, where violence is a natural occurrence. Yet, they are given guns and drugs to carry out the mission of a society gone wild. From where do the guns come?
Poor people don't make guns, nor do they have the means to deliver drugs into America. When we find the answer to those questions, we can be real with guns. But, until then, we need to find a reasonable solution. I think I have one.
1. Place a freeze on the manufacturing of any new weapons for public use, other than for our military and police.
2. Mandate a background check on people purchasing guns, and have them bring proof from a licensed doctor to the gun dealer they have no mental illness.
3. Any new weapons that will be released to the public must have printed hand protection, so only the owner can fire the weapon.
4. Have the National Rifle Association pay for these measures, if its members want to keep their Second Amendment rights.

AADD provides support to individuals, generally ages 50 years and older, with developmental disabilities. The goal is to assist individuals with maintaining their independence and support them in continuing to be active members of their communities.
AADD staff educates individuals, families, caregivers, employers, support workers, professionals and the community, in the varying issues and needs facing the aging with developmental disabilities population. Education is an essential element in ensuring that needs are recognized, understood, and met. AADD staff provides education through seminars, speaking engagements, an annual conference, and individual assistance and referral services to both individuals aging with disabilities and developmental disability organizations.
A person with a developmental disability, like anyone else, has the option of retirement from their life in the workforce. However, individuals with a developmental disability may not look forward to retirement. The reasons vary, but include economic loss, loss of socialization and friendships, isolation, and boredom. Each person's needs, interests, and fears are different. AADD staff work individually with our consumers to assist with this transition from employment to a fulfilling retirement. Staff conduct individualized assessments and develop transition plans. Transition plans are driven by the wants and needs of the individual, with input from family members and others who know the person well. Each retirement plan is custom designed and may also include supports for family members.
One option in meeting the needs of individuals in retirement is participation in a support group. Senior support groups meet at local senior centers and provide opportunities to learn about issues important to seniors, socialize with others of similar backgrounds, and develop lasting, caring, supportive relationships. AADD staff support our consumers with participating in these groups.
In addition to community involvement and activities, individuals may also have a need for support in their home. These supports may include someone to assist with bill paying, shopping, meal preparation and cooking, housekeeping, personal care and hygiene, medication administration, problem solving, or other individualized needs. Depending on the need, AADD staff may directly provide these supports or assist in locating the needed resources.
With state, County and City of St. Louis funding, AADD provides individualized one on one support to individuals in accessing their community. This service provides the individual, as well as their family members, with the supports needed to maintain maximum independence. Off-site day hab services range from 1 hour to 40 hours per week, depending on need.
Social Clubs is a large group socialization program that meets on Saturday nights and is open to adults (age 21 and over) with a developmental disability who reside in St. Louis City and County (specific eligibility requirements vary by funder). Participants in Social Clubs have the opportunity to choose from a variety of activities, including dances, bowling, movies, out to eat, wrestling, plays and musicals. Please call (314) 647-2203 for additional information.
Challenges Unlimited is a group recreation program that meets after work and is open to adults (age 21 and over) with a developmental disability who reside in St. Louis City. Participants have the opportunity to participate in health and fitness classes, learn new skills, and attend community activities. Please call (314) 647-8101 for additional information.
The Supported Living Program teaches independent living skills and supports individuals in developing and maintaining the skills needed to succeed in independent living. This service is available to adults (age 18 and over) with a developmental disability living in St. Louis City.
In addition to services specifically designed to meet the needs of older adults with developmental disabilities, AADD provides select services to younger individuals with developmental disabilities, as well.

|Mississippian culture
The Adams Site (15FU4) is a Mississippian culture archaeological site located near Hickman in Fulton County, Kentucky,on Bayou de Chien, a creek that drains into the nearby Mississippi River. The 7.25 hectare site is built over the remains of a Late Woodland village. It has a central group of platform mounds around a central plaza and another smaller plaza area to the southwest of the largest mound. The site was occupied from 1100 to 1500 CE during the Medley (1100 to 1300) and Jackson (1300 to 1500) phases of the local chronology.[1] Some very deep midden areas have been excavated from the village surrounding the mounds and plazas, some as deep as 1 metre (3.3 ft) to 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) thick, attesting to the long term habitation of this site.[2]
