  • Sleepless No More SUB.1000.0001.1077
    SUB.1000.0001.1077 2019 Submission - Royal Commission into Victoria's Mental Health System Organisation Name: Sleepless No More SUB.1000.0001.1077 1. What are your suggestions to improve the Victorian community’s understanding of mental illness and reduce stigma and discrimination? Australia is unfortunately a country with pervasive Incorrect Information, Lack of Information, Unsubstantiated Information and Out of Date Information about mental health, emotional health and the underlying reasons for emotional challenges. The reason people do not understand emotional challenges, being promoted as “mental illness”, is that they are not being given full and correct, up to date and relevant information. The Australian public is being given information which is coming from the ‘mental health industry’ not information that reduces mental health problems. The information is industry driven. “Follow the money” is a phrase very relevant in this field. People need to be given correct information that empowers them and ensures that they continue to be emotionally resilient. The information being promoted, marketed as ‘de-stigmatising mental health’ has resulted in people incorrectly self-diagnosing and presenting to their medical professionals asking for help with their anxiety (mental health problem), depression (mental health problem), bipolar (mental health problem), etc. Examples of information and mental health developments I do not see mentioned or promoted in Australia as part of making Australians emotionally resilient, and therefore not diagnosed and medicated as mentally ill: The flaws in the clinical trial process, and how to check the strategies being promoted by health care professionals, the government, doctors and psychiatrists. Making Medicines Safer for All of Us.

The sample was randomly drawn from WebMD’s Medscape subscriber network, stratified by HCP group, and designed to yield target numbers of completed surveys in each group. Weights were computed to correct for unequal selection probabilities, dif­ ferential response rates, and differential coverage and used to generalize completed surveys to a national pop­ ulation of PCPs, SPs, NPs, and PAs.

The Bully, the Bullied, and the Bystander: From Pre-School to High School: How Parents and Teachers Can Help Break the Cycle of Violence. Barbara Coloroso. New York: Collins Living, 2008. 241 pgs. Bullying, though commonplace, is not healthy, not normal, certainly not necessary, and in fact is devastating to many children. This book shows how, with care and commitment, we can re-channel the behaviors of the bully into positive leadership activities, acknowledge the nonaggressive behaviors of the bullied child as strengths that can be developed and are honored, and transform the role of the bystander into that of a witness, someone willing to stand up, speak out, and act against injustice. Discipline Is Not a Dirty Word: A Workshop Outline for Parents, Teachers and Caregivers of Young Children. 3rd ed. Jennifer Birckmayer and Robert Frasier Anderson. Ithaca, NY: Cornell University, 2001. 48 pgs. This workshop teaches seven principles of discipline that parents, teachers, and caregivers can use with young children: focus on “do” instead of “don’t” statements; help children feel lovable and capable; offer children appropriate choices; change the environment rather than the child’s behavior in certain situations; work with rather than against children; give children safe limits they can understand; set a good example.

    March 8, 2021 Institute for Clinical and Economic Review Two Liberty Square, Ninth Floor Boston, MA 02109 Re: Comments to Draft Evidence Report on Anti B-Cell Maturation Antigen CAR T-cell and Antibody Conjugate Therapy for Heavily Pre-Treated Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma Introduction The Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (ARM) appreciates the opportunity to submit the following comments to the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) February 11, 2021 draft report on Anti B-Cell Maturation Antigen CAR T-cell and Antibody Conjugate Therapy for Heavily Pre-Treated Relapsed and Refractory Multiple Myeloma (“Draft Evidence Report”).1 ARM is the leading international advocacy organization dedicated to realizing the promise of regenerative medicines and advanced therapies. ARM promotes legislative, regulatory and reimbursement initiatives to advance this innovative and transformative sector, which includes cell therapies, gene therapies and tissue-based therapies. In its 11-year history, ARM has become the global voice of the sector, representing the interests of 380+ members worldwide, including small and large companies, academic research institutions, major medical centers and patient groups. Although focused on one type of rare cancer, the Draft Evidence Report raises important issues for ARM members because of its potential negative impact on the development of the therapies under review and future therapies. ARM is concerned that the timing of the review prevents ICER from taking into account the FDA’s perspective on the appropriate patient population (i.e., through the label), that of expert providers’ perspectives (i.e., through recognized compendia), and the technology’s durability. Consequently, ARM is concerned that the Draft Evidence Report may harm market and patient access.

    Module 5-C Arizona Child Care Association: Employee Orientation 1 Module 5: Child Guidance Section C: Direct and Indirect Guidance Techniques Introduction The goal of positive guidance is to develop children’s self-control, encourage children to assume responsibility, and assist children in making thoughtful decisions. This section will provide basic guidance techniques to prevent inappropriate behaviors and correct misbehavior. Taking a look at the reasons children engage in misbehavior/mistaken behavior will provide you with a better understanding of young children. An introduction to basic guidance techniques that include both indirect and direct guidance techniques will provide you with strategies and tools to use in preventing, resolving, and correcting behaviors. Indirect guidance refers to strategies that are used in establishing a positive classroom environment including room arrangement, consistent routines, class rules, and developmental activities. A positive classroom environment meets the needs of the children and provides a foundation for building positive relationships between the child, the teacher, and other children. Direct guidance includes techniques that build on a positive classroom environment by focusing on the individual child, setting realistic expectations, and recognizing appropriate behaviors. Direct guidance techniques include verbal guidance, natural consequences, redirection, and problem solving. Learning Objectives After you have completed this section you will be able to: Name 3 indirect behavior techniques to use in working with young children. Name 3 direct guidance techniques to use in working with young children. Describe your philosophy on guidance and young children.
