Words Of The Wisdomless:

Talking to my therapist about the horror of my childhood her comment surprised me. She said, "I apologize to you that no one was there to protect you."

Let's try it. "I apologize to you that no one was there to protect you."

Too Few Young Adults Treated for Alcohol, Drug Problems: Study

Finding direction for this blog.  Blogging is the one thing any one can do but it is not for the faint of heart.  Sure you can write what ever you want to, but once you have made your point then what?  Well, that is when you need to be creative.  Well, I have a number of blogs and for the most part I've just used them to promote the same thing.  So now I'm going to give this blog a bit more meat to it. Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by editors of HealthDay: Too Few Young Adults Treated for Alcohol, Drug Problems: Study More than one in five young adults in the United States (7 million) need treatment for alcohol or illicit drug use, but only 7 percent of them receive treatment at a specialty facility, says a federal government study released Monday. Those levels have remained relatively stable since 2002, said the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) study of 2007 data from a national survey of 22,187 adults ages 18 to 25. "Substance use disorders are preventable and treatable yet we continue as a nation to allow the lives of 1 in 5 young people and their families be torn apart by substance abuse," SAMHSA Acting Adminstrator Eric Broderick said in a news release. "As a nation we must redouble our efforts to prevent substance abuse in the first place and ensure treatment is available to those in need." The study also found that 96 percent of young adults who needed, but didn't receive, treatment for substance-use problems didn't believe they needed help. Among the other findings from the 2007 data: Among young adults, 17.2 percent needed treatment for alcohol disorders in the past year, 8.4 percent for illicit drug disorders, and 4.4 percent for both alcohol and illicit drug disorders. Young adults covered by Medicaid/Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) were more than three times as likely as those with private insurance to receive treatment for alcohol or illicit drug use in a specialty facility -- 13.2 percent vs. 4 percent.

Cartoon-a-thon Getting ready Draw

Hi all,

In getting ready for May's Mental Health month I had to add up some numbers for my blog. I was over joyed to get our annual numbers totaled up. In the last twelves months the Mental Health Humor blog has almost 100,000 unique visits and over 366,000 page views. That does not unclued the the website or all the published cartoons. So I want to thank every one for your support.

Now I'm getting ready for our second annual Cartoon-A-Thon to draw one cartoon for each day of Mental Health Awareness month.

This year you will be able to see the cartoons here on the blog, but the site I'm volunteering for will post them first. That URL is mentalhealthcartoons.com

They will help keep track of any donations too.

I've been hired to do a few presentations for some local non-profit mental health groups. More presentations will come if this cartoon-a-thon works out.

"All proceeds from our Cartoon-A-Thon go to support the development and implementation of the Mental Health Humor project and funding free public presentations. "

I need a new laptop (new-ish) and projector and other supplies. Since there have been so many cut backs down here finding funding is harder then winning the lottery.

Well, I'm getting my art supplies ready and thinking up some ideas for cartoons so make sure you keep checking in for the new toons.

I'll keep every one updated... I am looking for volunteers....

Any bloggers that want to help by posting the daily cartoons let me know.
If you have some free time and want to ask people or providers in your area to make pledges here is a pledge sheet *(PDF file) .

e-mail if you want to help...
