High Schools was funded by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to help high schools, school districts, and their partners design and implement strategies to prevent suicide and promote behavioral health among their students. The information and tools in this toolkit will help schools and their partners: • Assess their ability to prevent suicide among students and respond to suicides that may occur • Understand strategies that can help students who are at risk for suicide • Understand how to respond to the suicide of a student or other member of the school community • Identify suicide prevention programs and activities that are effective for individual schools and respond to the needs and cultures of each school’s students • Integrate suicide prevention into activities that fulfill other aspects of the school’s mission, such as preventing the abuse of alcohol and other drugs Suicide prevention efforts in high schools are usually led by school counselors, mental health professionals, or social workers. But it is important to remember that no one—not the principal, not the counselor, and not the most passionate and involved parent—can establish effective suicide prevention strategies alone. The participation, support, and active involvement of others in the school and community are essential for success. Chapter 1 will help you: • Begin to identify the school staff and community partners who can help • Generate support for suicide prevention in the school system and community • Prioritize and select programs and activities that are right for your school Chapters 2–7 describe the steps necessary to implement the components of a comprehensive school-based suicide prevention program. Most chapters include tools to help you carry out these steps, including forms, worksheets,

  • A New Book by Hans Lindahl
    403 Etica & Politica / Ethics & Politics, XXI, 2019, 3, pp. 403-415 ISSN: 1825-5167 A NEW BOOK BY HANS LINDAHL GIANFRANCESCO ZANETTI Department of Jurisprudence, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia [email protected] ABSTRACT Hans Lindahl’s new book is an extremely valuable contribution. It offers a fresh notion of globaliza- tion processes, grounded in a sound social ontology. Lindahl’s theory is described on the background of most of the contemporary debate, painstakingly scrutinized in the book. The sobering conclusion is that no Great Emancipation is truly possible: the only contingency-burden solutions are those nor- mative practices that Lindahl calls “restrained collective self-assertion”. KEYWORDS Inclusion/exclusion, borders/limits, recognition, equality, bio-cultural rights. The Argentinian writer Jorge Louis Borges stretched his wild imagination beyond the usual boundaries that even phantasy writers set to themselves. Among the labyrin- thine, mind-bending ideas his fertile mind was able to conceive, there is of course the notorious Book of Sand, an enchanted volume whose pages, each of them, can always split into two different pages, in a seamless process, and whose not-reachable, unthink- able central page has no back1. One does not have to delve into the optical paradoxes by Escher or by Victor Vasarely to enjoy the thrill of an intellectual challenge of this kind. It is possible to experience a sort of healthy, theoretical bewilderment even in the mundane, analytical field of contemporary legal and political philosophy. 1 El libro de Arena, Buenos Aires, Emecé, 1975; Norman Thomas Di Giovanni translated it into English for The New Yorker.

  • Press Release
    PRESS RELEASE The Courts Called Her Crazy. The FBI Called Her a Kidnapper. Her Kids Called Her a Hero. Boston, MA –No Way Out But One, an independent documentary by Garland Waller and Barry Nolan, tells the incredible story of Holly Collins, a kidnapper to some and a hero to many. The film also examines the larger issue of the tragic failure of the family court system to achieve its most important mandate, to protect children. In 1994, Holly Collins was a desperate mother determined to protect her children from abuse at the hands of their father. Believing that she had no other choice, Holly kidnapped her own kids, left everything behind, and went on the run. She became an international fugitive, wanted by the FBI. She became the first American to ever be granted asylum by the Dutch government as a result of domestic violence. To capture the full story, the happily married team of veteran producers, Garland Waller and Barry Nolan, traveled to the Netherlands, Washington D.C., St. Paul, Minnesota, and Albany, NY. They used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain never before seen FBI files. They gathered extensive medical evidence, court records, and sworn affidavits. They drew on published research and interviewed witnesses, legal experts and doctors. Gracious and supportive friends recorded voiceovers, a la Ken Burns style, to capture some of the riveting drama of Holly’s story. Wendie Malick of Hot in Cleveland, Ron Masak, once the sheriff in Murder She Wrote, Doogie Houser’s dad, Jim Sikking, and one time NBC anchor John Palmer all lent their voices to the project.

  • NO WAY out a Briefing Paper on Foreign National Women in Prison in England and Wales January 2012
    No­Way­Out_Layout­1­­09/01/2012­­12:11­­Page­1 NO WAY OUT A briefing paper on foreign national women in prison in England and Wales January 2012 1. Introduction Foreign national women, many of whom are known to have been trafficked or coerced into offending, represent around one in seven of all the women held in custody in England and Wales. Yet comparatively little information has been produced about these women, their particular circumstances and needs, the offences for which they have been imprisoned and about ways to respond to them justly and effectively. This Prison Reform Trust briefing, drawing on the experience and work of the charity FPWP Hibiscus, the Female Prisoners Welfare Project, and kindly supported by the Barrow Cadbury Trust, sets out to redress the balance and to offer findings and recommendations which could be used to inform a much-needed national strategy for the management of foreign national women in the justice system. An overarching recommendation of Baroness Corston’s report published in 2007 was the need to reduce the number of women in custody, stating that “custodial sentences for women must be reserved for serious and violent offenders who pose a threat to the public”. She included foreign national women in her report, seeing them as: A significant minority group who have distinct needs and for whom a distinct strategy is 1 necessary. No­Way­Out_Layout­1­­09/01/2012­­12:11­­Page­2 However, when the government response2 and This comes at a time when an increasing then the National Service Framework for percentage of foreign women, who come to the Improving Services to Women Offenders were attention of the criminal justice and immigration published the following year, there were no systems and who end up in custody, have been references to this group.3 living in the UK long enough for their children to consider this country as home.
