    When an individual has a strong bond with a sibling who becomes sick, they feel a sense of responsibility in keeping them alive. The individual cherishes their sibling to the extent that they consider their sibling the centre of their world and their second half. When this loved one becomes sick and is diagnosed with acute depression, the individual’s immediate reaction is to do all that they can to help their sibling. Because the siblings share such a strong bond, the individual feels a sense of responsibility in helping and healing their sick sibling. This is portrayed through the relationship between Yolandi and her sister, Elfreida. Yolandi treasures her sister a lot and even goes so far as to label her, “her favourite person in the world,” and that she needed her “in order to survive.” When Elf becomes weary of life and is insistent on killing herself, Yoli desperately “wants her to stay” and to keep her alive.…

    Evidence-Based Practices, Evidence-Based Treatments, Evidence-Based Interventions, and Evidence-Informed Interventions are phrases often used interchangeably. Here, for consistency, we will use the term evidence-based treatments (EBT). Differentiating from the evidence-based practice process described above, one definition of an evidence-based treatment is any practice that has been established as effective through scientific research according to a set of explicit criteria (Drake et al., 2001). These are interventions that, when consistently applied, consistently produce improved client outcomes. Some states, government agencies, and payers have endorsed certain specific evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy for anxiety disorders and community assertive treatment for individuals with severe mental illness and thus expect that practitioners are prepared to provide these services.…

    Many families do not keep their guns in safe places that children couldn’t reach. For example, in South Carolina a 2-year-old shot his grandmother in the back while she was riding in the back seat of the car the child found the gun in the back of the front seat and shot his grandmother. Since children don’t know the concept of killing and harming people they have injured and killed many people, even children have killed their own parents and siblings. For example, a child shot his father in an event where many people were present.

    Melissa Walker (an acquaintance of the author) sits within the walls of her concrete cell at Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women (FCCW). Walker is making a contribution to this year’s recidivism rate. She was released from prison in 2008 after serving seven years of confinement. Sadly to say, this year she reoffended by stealing credit card information from her “Productive Citizenship” instructor. Her new charges are credit card theft, forgery, as well as probation violation. The price for Walker’s reoffending is incarceration until March, 2015. Wayne Luke, a retired probation officer with the Virginia Department of Corrections, says that the difference between successful and non-successful reentry is based on people, places, and things. Luke indicated that one of his ex-offenders who was incarcerated for a non-violent offense and was released in 2007 has been successful with reentry. This individual obtained employment immediately upon release, enrolled in a mental health program, and welcomed the support of family and friends. Much is being done to help ex-offenders overcome the barriers that complicate reentry into the community and develop into successful, productive citizens.…
