By Jeremy Gordon on February 10, 2015 at 3:03 p.m. EST
Mastodon were nominated for Best Metal Performance at the Grammys, which means they were on hand to give a hilariously bizarre interview on the red carpet. (That's guitarist Brent Hinds wearing a full Los Angeles Dodgers uniform, and drummer Brann Dailor in a "birthday suit.") You can watch a video of the interview below.
St. Vincent Recalls Touring Horrors in Grammy Thank You Note to Fans
By Corban Goble on February 9, 2015 at 1:05 p.m. EST
Fresh off a Grammy win for Best Alternative Album—for 2014's St. Vincent—St. Vincent has shared a long note via her email list, thanking her supporters and collaborators over the years.

Kanye West: "Beck Needs to Respect Artistry and He Should Have Given His Award to Beyoncé"
By Zoe Camp on February 9, 2015 at 5:46 a.m. EST
Update, 2/9 6:13 AM EST: Beck has offered his thoughts on the whole situation in an interview with Us Weekly. Turns out he was actually kind of stoked about the whole thing. "I was just so excited he was coming up. He deserves to be on stage as much as anybody," Beck told Us Weekly. "How many great records has he put out in the last five years, right?" Asked about West's comments that Beyoncé should have won, Beck replied, "Absolutely," adding, "I thought she was going to win. Come on, she's Beyoncé!"
Last night, Beck won the Album of the Year Grammy at the 2015 Grammy Awards for Morning Phase. During Beck's acceptance speech, West ran up on stage (he gave no remarks, and refrained from snatching the mic). In a post-event interview with E!, he explained the reasons why he took action. As suspected previously, the storming was in protest of Beyoncé not winning. "Beck needs to respect artistry and he should have given his award to Beyoncé, and at this point, we tired of it," he explained, later noting that he didn't say anything because "I'm not going to do nothing to to put my daughter at risk". Watch the entire interview below.

By Amy Phillips on December 5, 2014 at 8:39 a.m. EST

so here, i'm aiming to select the 3 columns, studentlastname, studentfirstname, and studentmiddleinitial from my database, STUD_DB, so here's the code :
public string selectname(string email)
string name;
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(constr);
string select = "SELECT studentlastname,studentfirstname,studentmiddleinitial FROM STUD_DB WHERE emailaddress = @mail";
SqlCommand sel = new SqlCommand(select, con);
sel.Parameters.Add("@mail", email);
//this is where idk what to do.
my concern is, after i select the 3 columns, i want to place them in separate variables, then join them to one string, resulting to the student's full name, but, i don't know how to code that part. :) will wait for an answer, and thank you. :)

What a thankless, challenging, stressful job. If they do too little, someone can get killed, kidnapped, or there can be a robbery. If they do too much, they get 2nd guessed.
i was a patient for a scant five hours a few weeks ago. In that time, parked on a gurney in the hall, I saw a mentally ill homeless man pull his pants down and urinate on himself and the hall floor, and expose his privates and backside, I heard another man screaming the "N" word at a employee, and three more people were drunk and disorderly (and combative).

Condolences for your loss, Greg, and it was kind of you to offer your thoughts on a nice man who will be missed. You are a good friend. I am sorry a life was lost.
Independent, I wish you had helped guide the author. The story is lacking in specifics which would help us relate to and feel these heartfelt emotions. That is not the author's fault, but the publisher. Writers deserve a little more help to tell their story to maximum effect, and readers deserve a little more, too.

Does anyone know him? Do they know what his attitude was about cars and dangerous roadways? I am very sorry for his pain and suffering, but I also feel REALLY badly for the forest service truck driver. Imagine how horrible it feels to hit a human being unintentionally. Thank goodness he was presumably on the job--he would no doubt be getting sued personally if not.

Cool article, and I loved how in depth it was. One sentence did not seem to make sense, though. "While absentee ownership has been a facet of farming since the dawn of agriculture, "
That's kind of an odd statement, and a big generalization.

The good news is if they don't come back, they can't get "their" house back. If it really was their house, would they abandon it? Sort of proves the point.

Ok, this is NUTS that government money is going to beautify private property. The landlords make money renting out property!! Why do tax dollars pick up the cost of what they fail to do? Will they be forwarding a percentage of their rental income back to the taxpayer? If they can't manage their property, they should sell it to someone who can, not rip us off for their own profit. It's called maintenance and improvements, and it's a fundamental part of owning any property.

What a great, dignified, generous, compassionate lady. In a world in which everyone's first reaction to loss of a family member is to try to figure out who to sue, or to make tabloid fodder out of their loss, this Mom is amazing, and it sounds like her son was, too. And my last point is...it's people like Candace who should be Moms. They are filled with love and selflessness. Bravo. May peace be your eternal companion, and rest in knowing that Lucas died doing something that he loved. And he loved you, too.

Tireater--get a clue...none of us begrudge a skilled hunter killing deer during hunting season, especially to feed your family. We DO object to a dude riding a motorcycle and maiming nursing does and popping bucks between the eyes, and driving off when it's not dead. I don't personally have any interest in hunting, but I do know that responsible hunters would NEVERleave a suffering animal to die a slow death, or shoot something without a means of loading it up for taxidermy, food, or whatever.
Why do people constantly miss the point!? And, I am sure you need no push to go stuff your face at MickeyD's.

To the person in the article who is quoted as calling it censorship...relax. It's not that exciting. It's just a chain wanting to maintain uniformity. And to the person who assumed the art said, "Jew." Well, that was just as freaky. Why is everybody so sensitive about everything? It's like everyone is walking around ready at moment's notice to get torqued.

A little progress is better than no progress
Joel Goldman
December 11, 2013
I envision star systems with their planets that have features similar to the planets in our solar system, with similar compositions, and some having different features and compositions than our own.
Some of the distant planets may have microbial life on them, possibly primitive life form, and just maybe, some with advanced life form on them.
There may be some common denominator for all the different solar systems in the Universe. We won't know unless we keep searching and searching for the answers.
Though funding has been cut for space exploration, even a little progress is better than no progress.

The Syrians created a crisis by using chemical weapons in a massive attack on August 21, President Barack Obama threatened force but then vacillated, and Russian President Vladimir Putin, recognizing both Obama's strengths and his weaknesses, stepped up, grabbed center stage, and inserted himself directly into a process he'd long avoided.

For many of my reviews, I emphasize the utility of the website/app. However, I also believe that it is appropriate to occasionally give credit to the cuteness of a resource. The Elementals is an app that is one big bundle of cuteness—I challenge you to find a more whimsical periodic table of the elements! The app itself is very simple—for every element of the periodic table, an animated representation of that element (color-coded according to category, such as noble gases, and with its electrons roughly depicted) appears at the top of the screen. Users can drag the little character around, but for no apparent purpose. The periodic table provides atomic number and molecular weight in addition to categorizing the elements, so this app is actually a handy reference for students. Handy and cute—which I'm sure will get some students looking at the periodic table more often.

I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
Sonnet 115: Those lines that I before have writ do lie
by William Shakespeare
Those lines that I before have writ do lie,
Even those that said I could not love you dearer;
Yet then my judgment knew no reason why
My most full flame should afterwards burn clearer,
But reckoning Time, whose millioned accidents
Creep in 'twixt vows, and change decrees of kings,
Tan sacred beauty, blunt the sharp'st intents,
Divert strong minds to the course of alt'ring things—
Alas, why, fearing of Time's tyranny,
Might I not then say, "Now I love you best,"
When I was certain o'er incertainty,
Crowning the present, doubting of the rest?
Love is a babe; then might I not say so,
To give full growth to that which still doth grow.

Julie B. Wolter, Psy.D., president of the Center for Self Development, P.C., Nashua, N.H., said that depression often depends on how the individual identifies. For example, she finds men typically view themselves as the provider; job loss could shatter that notion and prompt depression.
"Men come in with anger, irritability and flat affect. Sometimes, there are behavioral or substance abuse issues. They are in productivity, fix-it modes and don't pay attention to feelings," she said. "They need to know depression can be just as debilitating for them as for women. It's not about their character."
Women, on the other hand, present with more dysphoria, low self-esteem and guilt. Wolter said, "Women are more connected to their emotions. Their depression may be related more to socialization."
Wolter reported that more men are seeking help for depressive disorders. "They are willing to come in, but are sometimes surprised when I tell them they are depressed,"she said. "But men want to get better and are not hesitant about accepting help."
However, when couples make an appointment, based on the woman's request, men are more reluctant. "This is a bit trickier. They deny there is anything wrong. Men who come in on an individual basis have made a choice. They have awareness something is wrong," Wolter explained.
From a clinical perspective, Wolter does see cycles that correlate with hormonal changes in women. Some clients also experience chronic versus situational depression, she noted. "It's helpful to get a sense of when a person feels worse so the client can watch his or her own cycle," she said.
Intervention for both genders typically involves cognitive behavioral therapy, combined with medication when appropriate, according to Wolter. Other options include the use of light boxes, acupuncture, transcranial magnetic stimulation or exercise. Treatment usually depends on presentation and personality, rather than on gender, according to Wolter.
Jill M. Goldstein, Ph.D., director of research at the Connors Center for Women's Health and Gender Biology at Brigham and Women's Hospital and professor of psychiatry and medicine at Harvard Medical School, has been studying the root causes of sex differences in depression. In a recent article for Frontiers in Neuroscience, she wrote that she and her colleagues are studying how prenatal exposures alter sex differences in the development of stress-related neural and endocrine circuitries, which lay the vulnerability for why we see sex differences later in life.
"We know that puberty potentiates what's laid down in the brain during fetal development and therefore puberty is another key developmental period for understanding sex differences in the risk for depression," Goldstein added. "Gonadal hormones are the primary drivers of the sexual differentiation of the brain, involving every level of neuronal growth and development."
In fact, she believes that discoveries about how these hormones are disrupted during fetal development will lead to novel and more effective therapies. "We understand in this day and age of personalized medicine that one treatment does not fit all, and what can be more 'personal' than one's sex," Goldstein said.
According to Goldstein, it is important that neuroscience incorporate a "sex-specific" or "sex-dependent" lens when investigating the brain. This is particularly true for depression for which women have twice the risk. Depression is the number one cause of disability worldwide, and, therefore, increasing the efficacy of treatment is critical, particularly for women, she said.
But not all psychologists necessarily base treatment for depressive disorders based on gender. Michael Schaffer, Ph.D., private practitioner in Cranston, R.I., although aware of the literature suggesting differences between men and women when it comes to depression, prefers to treat every client as an individual.
"Theory and research can guide us, but we can't assume, based on someone's gender, how depression will manifest and how they will cope," he added. For instance, although men are thought to indulge more in alcohol and drugs to deal with depression, Schaffer treats a number of both genders that misuse these substances.
Rather than focus on gender, Schaffer delves into personal and life history during the first few sessions, paying close attention to what the client is saying, how they are saying it, what they focus on and what they may be leaving out, as well as body language. "Listening gives you a road map during those first few sessions," he said. "You have to listen for an association and then question the client. Bring up your hypothesis and see if it resonates with the person."
Schaffer stated that the client with depression, whether male or female, has often made decisions throughout life that have interfered with goals. "An important part of therapy is helping patients recognize the reason they have made certain decisions and the power they have to change their decision-making process in the present and future to better achieve their goals."
Moreover, establishing a strong client/therapist relationship is critical to the healing process. "The client has someone willing to try to understand all aspects of their life. Although the therapist is emotionally supportive, this doesn't mean the relationship is without possible ups and downs," Schaffer said. "Sometimes the client might be frustrated with the therapist, but ruptures and repairs are normal in any relationship. These moments of tension are often important signposts to the underlying dynamics that interfere with the patient's ability to live a more fulfilling life. If the patient and therapist can discuss these moments openly and honestly, this often leads to underlying changes that help the patient move forward."
Irrespective of the biology of sex and its implications for drug treatment, Goldstein is also a firm believer in the importance of psychotherapy for depression. She said, "Psychology brings a critical component for the treatment of depression in tandem with the development of more efficacious psychopharmacology that hopefully will begin to incorporate our knowledge of sex differences in the brain."]]>
The new grant program of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation, called Fostering Effective Integration of Behavioral Health and Primary Care, provides one-year funding to community health centers, community-based behavioral health centers and hospital-based programs in the state that are already doing work in this area.
The idea is to spend a year looking at how these organizations are addressing the issue of comorbidity to assist the foundation in creating guidelines for a three-year grant in this area, said Audrey Shelto, president of the foundation.
"They are organizations who have been doing this at various stages and are quite far along in the continuum of having fully integrated services," she said. "We wanted to understand what can we learn from them and while we support their programs for this year, help us narrow our focus to invest dollars in a way that is going to advance the field."
She said the behavioral health and primary care communities have for decades known that there needs to be more synergy of care between the two fields.
"There is such an interplay between behavioral health conditions and medical conditions, particularly chronic medical conditions," Shelto said. "From a patient perspective, it's much, much harder in either direction. If you have a severe behavioral health issue it's hard to manage a chronic illness and if you have a chronic illness, it's hard to manage any mental health issue you might have."
The news release announcing the grants includes these numbers from Harvard Medical School's National Comorbidity Survey Replication: 68 percent of adults with a severe behavioral health disorder had at least one chronic medical condition and 29 percent of adults with a chronic medical condition have serious mental illness.
Those dealing with a mental illness live far shorter lives than those without, partly due to treatable medical conditions and inadequate access to medical care, the release reads.
Grants range from $125,000 to $150,000 and went to programs in Boston, Cape Cod, Worcester and western Massachusetts.
Organizations receiving the funding are using it to continue or enhance care, said Celeste Lee, senior director of grant making at the foundation. That might include hiring employees or collecting data.
The Center for Human Development will be using its $125,000 grant to collect and analyze data on a program that connects adults dealing with a serious mental illness to a primary care provider at its locations in Springfield and Holyoke, said Jennifer Higgins, Ph.D., director of compliance and quality assurance for the organization.
It will also allow the center, which serves homeless families, at-risk youth and seriously mentally ill populations, to host a leadership summit on integrative care in the fall, she said.
"This was something we really wanted to do and we didn't have the resources to do that until we had this grant money available to us," she said.
The Cambridge Health Alliance was awarded $125,000 to continue its work connecting children with mental health and substance abuse issues to primary care providers Windsor Street Clinic.
The program has been using a Collaborative Practice Model, developed in 2011 by Katherine Grimes, M.D., director of the Children's Health Initiative for the alliance, Gregory Hagan, M.D., chief of pediatrics for the alliance, and Benjamin Cook, Ph.D., senior scientist at the alliance's Center for Multicultural Mental Health Research.
The alliance has had success with its program, which works with mostly immigrant-based populations who face language, cultural and economic barriers, said Grimes, who is also an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. That includes a lower no-show rate, increased follow through on recommendations and a reduction in emergency room use and expense, she said.
The grant allows the alliance to keep the programs going. "It is like a bridge loan, an interim chance to continue," Grimes said.
The funding will also allow the alliance to establish programs to support parents dealing with mental health issues, pay for physician and mental health care providers' time for meetings on integrative care, and pay for a research analyst to focus on this program.
"The funding is really all for people," Grimes said.
Other organizations receiving the grant are Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program, Brookline Community Mental Health Center, Community Health Center of Cape Cod, Community Healthlink Inc., Dimock Community Health Center, Lynn Community Health Center, UMass Memorial Health Care Inc., and Vinfen Corporation.]]>
But these clients have taught Fondacaro that religion and spirituality can enhance treatment.
"Sometimes we end up praying in sessions. We end groups with prayer," Fondacaro said. "We just have to be much more open-minded and curious than judgmental."
Fondacaro directs Connecting Cultures, a mental health program for refugees from about 25 countries who have resettled in Vermont, many of whom have experienced torture and trauma. Licensed psychologists and pre-doctoral clinicians completing training with the supervision of the clinical psychology faculty staff the program for children and adults, working in schools and an outpatient clinic on the university's Burlington campus.
Research has shown high rates of mental health problems among post-conflict populations relocated to different countries because of traumatic experiences in their countries of origin and in camps or transit. Adjustment problems, cultural conflicts, language barriers and loss of family members, country, occupation and way of life can lead to somatization, depression and posttraumatic stress disorder.
Nearly 7,000 refugees have come to Vermont since 1989 with between 325 and 350 new arrivals each year, according to Amila Merdzanovic, director of the Vermont Resettlement Program in Colchester, a field office for the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants. The state's refugee population has primarily resettled in the cities of Burlington and Winooski.
Among the ethnic groups are those from Bosnia and Herzegovina who came in the 1990s and more recent arrivals like Somali Bantu and Bhutanese refugees from Nepal.
Fondacaro founded Connecting Cultures in 2007 in response to growing numbers of refugees going to hospital emergency rooms with mental health problems.
"I was getting information from all these people in the state that we have all these refugees. They have all these needs, but they don't view mental health in the same way that we do and nobody's going to come to a clinic," she said.
"So we started some outreach groups with various cultures and talked to them about what did they think mental health was and primarily the answers we got were more along the severe psychotic end of how they were perceiving mental health needs."
It took a couple of years to build trust and establish a relationship with the refugee community, Fondacaro said. "I think we do have a reputation in the community that we can be helpful and we're not going to pathologize and call them crazy."
In early February, there was a three-month waiting list for a new client seeking to be evaluated and receive services.
Estimates of how many refugees have suffered torture range from 10 to 30 percent, even higher for asylum seekers. Connecting Cultures has established New England Survivors of Torture and Trauma (NESTT), part of the National Consortium of Torture Treatment Programs, providing and coordinating psychological, legal and social work services.
Refugees who come to the clinic seem to be evenly divided between men and women, Fondacaro said. A focus of ongoing research is to assess gender differences in the prevalence of mental health problems.
In addition to accepting prayer, cultural sensitivity has staff members learning to count from zero to 10 in various languages when using the Subjective Units of Distress Scale to connect with clients.
"They absolutely love that we're trying to learn their language," Fondacaro said. "They appreciate that you're taking their culture seriously."
Clinicians also need to be open to modifying empirically validated techniques. Emily Mazzulla, Ph.D., associate director in charge of operations for NESTT, said cultural consultants, community elders and interpreters review assessment measures to avoid misunderstandings. For instance, "I feel blue" became "I feel sad" on one assessment for anxiety and mood.
"There's an idea in some Bhutanese communities that being attacked by a ghost or a spirit might be a true physical-emotional symptom and so that's something that we added," Mazzulla said.
A specialty area has been in the development of a narrative-based intervention model for torture survivors that is "based on giving clients control over the timing of their story and whether they want to tell it," Fondacaro said.
"If you hear the types of torture that happens in these countries, it's pretty severe. It could be anything from severe beating, from murdering family members in front of people, burning, electrocution, rape," Fondacaro added.
She is developing trauma-informed practice for physical therapists. "They have all kinds of interesting instruments that could be really scary to a survivor of torture," she said.]]>
Gov. Gina Raimondo's choice to lead the agency that oversees long-term hospital care, mental health and psychiatric services, substance-abuse prevention and treatment and residential and day programs for people with developmental disabilities, started work Feb. 2. She had previously been chief executive officer of Magellan Behavioral Care of Iowa, where she managed more than $330 million in Medicaid services for 450,000 recipients for the state of Iowa.
"One of our priorities is fostering innovation in state government. It is widely known that there are several challenges facing BHDDH that are holding us back from providing families with the safe, quality care they deserve," Raimondo said in a statement. "Maria has spent her career finding ways to improve services and outcomes for families. She will be an excellent addition to our health and human services team."
Montanaro will be paid an annual salary of $126,582. She replaces Craig Stenning, who led the agency since 2008 and was not re-hired by the new Raimondo administration. Through a BHDDH spokesman, Montanaro declined multiple requests for interviews during her first week on the job.
Montanaro returns to Rhode Island after spending two and a half years leading Magellan's care management corporation in Iowa where her accomplishments included directing the implementation of more than $100 million of new business in her first year of tenure. She also led the design and implementation of a statewide health home project aimed at the severely mentally ill for Iowa's Medicaid program.
Montanaro had previously worked as a senior advisor for integrated health management services at Blue Cross, Blue Shield of Rhode Island. She was also chief executive officer of Thundermist Health Center from 1997 to 2011.
Montanaro has a Master of Social Work from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Rhode Island health care business leaders and mental health advocates welcomed Montanaro's selection.
"Look no further than Maria's transformation of Thundermist during her 14 year tenure as CEO," said Thundermist Health Center President and CEO Chuck Jones. "She is a passionate, visionary leader with deep experience with the Rhode Island delivery system and the area of behavioral health. The state in general, and particularly those who face behavioral health challenges, are fortunate to have Maria take the helm of this important department."
Mark Waggoner, senior vice president for Care Integration & Management at Blue Cross Blue Shield Rhode Island, said he looked forward to collaborating with Montanaro on initiatives that link behavioral health and primary care.
"She understands the critical importance of behavioral health as part of an integrated, cost-effective healthcare system for Rhode Islanders," Waggoner said.
Mental Health Consumer Advocates of Rhode Island Executive Director James McNulty said Montanaro's managed care experience makes her "an unconventional but perhaps inspired" choice to lead the state agency.
"It is pretty clear that managed care, in some form, is coming to Rhode Island," McNulty said via email. "Managed behavioral health care holds out the prospect of reduced costs and better outcomes for the clients served."
But when states bring in a managed care company to run their public behavioral health programs, McNulty added, those seeking quick fixes for fiscal woes are in for a reality check.
"Health care is incredibly complex and we are really just beginning to learn how public health and managed care work together and how they don't work well together. Ms. Montanaro brings a formidable level of experience to the job," McNulty said.
If the state goes in the direction of using managed care to manage cost and outcome in Medicaid, McNulty said BHDDH's role would become more about planning and oversight. He said Montanaro has an opportunity to play a pivotal role to redesign the system to address the needs of people served by not only her own department but the Department of Children Youth and Families and the Department of Corrections.
"What I would hope is that Ms. Montanaro would include advocates and persons served in the planning process, something that is not really done in any meaningful way at present," McNulty said.
BHDDH falls under the jurisdiction of the Executive Office of Health & Human Services. Raimondo picked Elizabeth Roberts, the former lieutenant governor, to head that agency.]]>
"If a veteran takes his one life one time, to me that is a big issue," he said. "To say that 22 people a day, which means that across this country, 8,000 veterans are taking their lives a year, that's out of control. That's not acceptable."
Perkins is referencing a figure which has been used by lawmakers – including U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) – urging support of federal legislation that addresses this issue, called the Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act.
Blumenthal had this to say about the bill after it passed unanimously in the Senate in February: "This breakthrough bipartisan step will help countless veterans overcome invisible wounds of war that lead to 22 tragic suicides every day." The bill also found unanimous support in the House.
In published reports, it's acknowledged that the 22-a-day statistic does not provide much context and does not include information from all 50 states. A range of 18-22 veteran suicides a day is more consistent with prior studies.
Suicide is high for the regular population as well. It's the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S., according to a 2012 Centers for Disease Control report.
However, a new study published in Annals of Epidemiology in February suggests the suicide rate for veterans is 41-61 percent higher than the general U.S. population.
The study also found that veterans are at a higher suicide risk in the three years after leaving military service. However, deployment to the war zone itself did not contribute to excess suicides in veterans, according to the study. Risk factors associated with suicide were similar between male and female veterans, but the suicide risk was high among younger, male, white and unmarried veterans, the study found.
The Clay Hunt Suicide Prevention for American Veterans Act – named for a Texas veteran who took his life in 2011 at age 28 – was signed by President Obama on Feb. 12. It requires a third-party be hired to evaluate Veterans Administration mental health care and suicide prevention programs and propose best practices for care of veterans dealing with mental health issues or who are at risk of suicide.
Perkins said the best part of the legislation is the third-party review of available programs, which will help "get away from just using the standard program and giving them the regular pills they give them and sending them on their way," he said.
The bill also requires the Department of Veterans Affairs to publish a Web site that provides mental health care resources for veterans and establish a pilot program that will assist veterans transitioning from service to civilian life. The bill also creates a loan repayment pilot program for VA psychiatrists.
"We owe these wounded warriors more effective mental health care, so they can win the war against inner demons that come home from service," said Blumenthal in a news release after the bill passed the Senate in February. "This bill will help save lives – courageous, strong veterans who need and deserve enhanced psychiatric care, counseling, outreach support and accountability from the Veterans Administration."
Connecticut has a veterans information line for any veteran needing help, Perkins said, which can be reached at 1-866-928-8387. The state also offers a free and confidential counseling and crisis line for military members and families, he said. Called the Military Support Program, it can be reached at 1-866-251-2913.
The Veterans Crisis Line, a toll-free confidential crisis line, is available all day every day to any veteran or family member online at www.veteranscrisisline.net or by phone at 1-800-273-8255, and pressing 1.]]>
In December, Quinnipiac University, a private school located in Hamden, Conn., agreed to a settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office regarding a complaint filed by a former student alleging that the school violated her rights under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The school, which admits no wrongdoing, has agreed to pay the student $17,000 for emotional compensation and another $15,126 to cover tuition payments that were not refunded with her removal from school.
The case involves a student, who did not respond to a request for an interview by this publication, who visited the school's counseling center a few months into her freshman year in 2011. She was referred to a local hospital and, upon release, was informed that she needed to be evaluated by a psychiatrist before returning to campus. The psychiatrist determined that she was not fit to attend class and she was placed on mandatory medical leave without reimbursement of any tuition paid.
The student's mother contacted the state's Office for Protection and Advocacy for Persons with Disabilities (OPA) shortly thereafter. The lead attorneys on the case explained that, after interviewing the student, they felt it was important to file a claim.
"A complaint was then dual-filed with the Department of Justice and investigated by the Connecticut U.S. Attorney's Office," said Nancy Alisberg, managing attorney for OPA. "We were concerned about the policies of the university with respect to a student with mental illness, policies that would make it difficult to seek services because of a fear that if you do seek services, you could end up being kicked out of school."
The U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Connecticut, found that the school discriminated against the student by failing to first look at options for her to continue attending class either as an off-campus student or via an online system. The government alleges that the university violated Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Quinnipiac University, in both the settlement agreement and in a statement, denied any wrongdoing in the case.
"The university is in full compliance with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act. In fact, our ADA standards exceed those of most academic institutions," said Lynn Bushnell, vice president for public affairs. "Out of respect for the confidentiality of the student involved, we will not comment further on this case. We regret that a government agency did not show similar respect for the student and circulated this press release without ever contacting us."
The school's representatives did not answer specific questions about their mandatory medical leave policy and how it is applied to mental health and physical health cases.
"The concern," said Colin Milne, a staff attorney with OPA, "is that students with psychological distress or mental illness are typically stigmatized and stereotyped to be threats to themselves or others. In the Quinnipiac case, there were very different standards for students with physical diseases or illness as opposed to students with psychological disease. The conditions for readmission for physical illness or injury are not as onerous as for students with mental illness."
As part of the settlement, the school agreed to draft a non-discrimination policy and provide staff training on Title III of the ADA with a focus on mental health concerns.]]>
Study results showed transgender youth had a higher probability of being diagnosed with depression when compared to non-transgender youth (50.6 percent vs. 20.6 percent); and higher probabilities of suffering from anxiety (26.7 vs. 10), attempting suicide (17.2 vs. 6.1) and engaging in self-harming activities without lethal intent (16.7 vs. 4.4).
The study was based on data from the Sidney Borum Jr. Health Center in Boston, and compared the electronic health records of 180 transgender patients (ages 12 to 29) to non-transgender patients.
The findings were published in the Journal of Adolescent Health in January.
Sari Reisner, ScD, MA, research scientist at The Fenway Institute and postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard School of Public Health was the lead author of the report. He said this study is unique in that until now, limited data existed comparing the mental health of transgender adolescents and young adults to cisgender patients.
The research points to the need for gender-affirming mental health services and for the appropriate screenings, interventions, and supports for transgender young people, Reisner said.
Earlier interventions may improve outcomes. Reisner noted a recent U.S. National Transgender Discrimination Survey in which 41 percent of transgender adult respondents reported having attempted suicide in their lifetimes. "You can see there's still some opportunity for early intervention here," he said.
"To be clear it's not that transgender youth are mentally ill," Reisner said. "These youth experience a lot of social stressors in their life, rejection from parents and peers, bullying in school, and the need to have supports to handle the social structures around them. This suggests that in the process of clinical care, we can really provide some interventions."
Routine mental health screening for transgender youth in clinical settings is important. "Routinely screening for not only mental health, but for sources of stress" that might increase the likelihood of a negative outcome, Reisner said. "A lot of transgender youth experience a high amount of bullying from peers." Additionally, coming out to family and friends, and even just visiting the doctor can be an additional source of stress.
According to the study, expanded care for transgender youth can be provided in the context of overall pediatric care and integration of behavioral health and pediatric primary care – a medical home approach – can help support the needs of transgender youth and improve outcomes.
The capture of transgender identity data in medical records is important, Reisner said. Providers can do routine captures of both gender and gender identity for electronic health records, by doing something as simple as including those questions on patient registration forms, just as you would the question of age, for example. "That signals to a patient, 'We are welcoming you in a friendly environment,'" he said. "So just incorporate that into the routine."
"If you are a psychologist and have a registration form, ask them for a preferred pronoun, which can really go a long way," he said. "Misgendering people can really be a source of stress. Asking these questions helps to sensitize care."
"If you are not being affirmed in the way you see yourself to be, that can be very depressing," he said.
Also, in the context of clinical care, making sure the space is friendly for transgender youth in other ways, such as by posting policies around non-discrimination, is important, he said, as is the need for increased training for pediatric and mental health providers in gender awareness issues.]]>
James J. Hudziak, M.D., a professor of psychiatry, medicine and pediatrics at the University of Vermont and director of the Vermont Center for Children, Youth and Families, built upon data garnered by the National Institutes of Health Magnetic Resonance (MRI) Study of Normal Brain Development.
Hudziak and a team of researchers studied the brain scans of 232 children ages six to 18, who he noted did not exhibit emotional problems or anxiety. The study showed that children with musical training experienced increased cortical thickness.
The cortex is the outer layer of the brain which grows as a child develops and is, among other things, responsible for emotional regulation, attention skills and anxiety management, he said.
"The more practice (on a musical instrument) the children engaged in, the more benefits to cortical organization," Hudziak said.
Previous research showed that musical training helps children develop their fine motor skills.
And, with co-authors Matthew Albaugh, Ph.D. and Eileen Crehan, BA, Hudziak has also examined the link between cortical thickening in the areas of the brain affecting aggression, attention disorders and depression.
But this project was different. "There's not a lot of science out there in this area," Hudziak said. "but the results make sense."
He was not surprised by the research's outcome, but "gratified," by it.
At the center, Hudziak's work involves a family-based approach and uses programs that promote activities that foster positive brain development.
"The only way this country can move forward is to become more healthy in the first place," he said.
In the future, he would like to combine neuroimaging with an existing program that offers violin lessons to at-risk individuals. And, Hudziak believes that music, combined with fitness, mindfulness and other training, could provide benefits for people with addictions and other mental health issues.
Hudziak anticipates further, similar studies to use a "more clinical trial," approach, with repeats of neuroimaging and comparisons between subjects with and without mental health issues at the start.
The findings of this research were recently published in the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.
Montreal Neurological Institute's Alan Evans, Ph.D., and Kelly Botteron, M.D., were among his collaborators on this effort, Hudziak said.]]>
The five-year grant, which begins this fall, is being provided by the Office of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to implement Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education). Schools in Berlin, Franklin and School Administrative Unit #7 (Colebrook, Stewartstown and Pittsburg) are participating in the program.
This project has two major components, according to Mary Steady, M.Ed., administrator of Safe Schools Healthy Students, an office of the New Hampshire Department of Education.
The first component involves an overall statewide improvement in community mental health services. "We're developing an interconnected system, bringing mental health into the school system," said Steady, who is directing the project.
"Community mental health centers are providing treatment but they don't [participate in programs] where there are prevention and workshops."
The Department of Education has assembled a team of more than 50 stakeholders who meet monthly to develop a statewide program for improved mental health systems. The team, which will assist Steady in managing Project AWARE, includes community agencies, such as NAMI New Hampshire and Granite State Federation for Families, as well as state agencies and community mental health centers.
The superintendents of the three school systems are now members of this team.
"We get together once a month, talk about children's behavioral health and [discuss] how to best use our resources," explained Steady.
One of the guiding principles is the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports framework, which was developed by the U.S. Department of Education and strongly endorses the multi-tiered community approach.
"It addresses the underlying causes of school violence [and other issues] by changing the system," noted Ken Norton, LICSW, ACSW, executive director of NAMI New Hampshire. "It helps kids get back on track rather than just removing them from the schools."
The second component and the core mission of Project AWARE, focuses on recognizing signs of mental illness and learning how to make appropriate referrals. This process requires administering Mental Health First Aid, an eight-hour course, to at least 125 adults annually – including teachers, coaches, school employees and others – in each of the three school districts.
"The trainer is able to teach other adults how to recognize the signs of mental health difficulties so that a referral process can be put in place with the right social services," said Corinne Cascadden, M.Ed, superintendent of the Berlin school system. "We'll be training everybody who is working with kids."
Through this new grant and the ongoing efforts of the Department of Education, New Hampshire is taking a comprehensive and strategic approach to safety and mental health in its schools. "We felt we had a strong need for this project," Cascadden said. "We really needed help with social services and mental health support because we were seeing an increase in the number of students who were having behaviors that were out of the ordinary."
In addition, the benefits of the Project AWARE grant are extending beyond the three school districts. Berlin, Franklin and SAU #7 are serving as pilot programs for the entire state.
"Those pilot schools will inform us about what's happening there," said Steady. "We'll take that data to make decisions at the state level. We'll be finding out what works and what policy changes are needed."]]>
The webcast featured former U.S. Representative Patrick J. Kennedy and former Surgeon General David Satcher, M.D., who released new public opinion research on the state of mental health across the nation and also reported how the Center plans to advance an agenda for "real, achievable change."
Care for physical and mental health continues to operate in silos in spite of the parity law for which Satcher set the stage when he issued his landmark report 19 years ago. "The parity law is the vehicle for us to get this message out there," Kennedy said and emphasized that it's time to translate what we know into practice. He reported approximately 38,000 suicides occur every year and the number continues to rise; six million children suffer with emotional, behavioral and developmental problems; and the nation's prisons house two million people with mental illness.
The direct and indirect financial impact of these mental health issues is $444 billion. There are enormous possibilities if treatment for both physical and mental health is combined, according to Kennedy. He predicted that integration would produce a more effective system with dramatically reduced health care costs.
However, stigma continues to be a major barrier, according to Satcher, affecting the individual and the willingness to get treatment; the family; and the greater community. Since many people with a mental health diagnosis also have a physical condition and a shortened life expectation, providers need to treat the whole person, including the brain, which he said is the most critical organ in the body.
Technology also has an important role to play in the treatment of mental health care, Satcher noted, indicating that several populations would benefit from its use. Telehealth can provide access to care for veterans who have to travel long distances as well as for those in prison. New technologically advanced platforms and apps can deliver cognitive behavioral therapy and other therapies to individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues. "These devices can channel care," said Kennedy.
Mental health care of the future is focused on two objectives: payor accountability and provider accountability. Insurers need to adhere to parity laws and providers need to adopt proven scientific methods, Kennedy said. To achieve these goals, Satcher cited the critical need for more neuroscience research. The country needs to invest in more brain research to attain and maintain a competitive edge and the president's commitment is important, he added.
To help families to navigate the system when they have been denied care, the Center has posted an advocacy toolkit on its Web site (www.thekennedyforum.org), as well as 14 other resources.
Kennedy ended the webcast by reiterating the need to be "more holistic in our thinking." He cited a collective goal of working together, moving urgently and emphasizing the importance for Congress to act on an issue that affects all families in America.]]>
