Suicide Prevention Targeting Aboriginal People - New Emerging Team - CIHR   

The Research Portfolio of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) is responsible for: building the health research agenda, funding and supporting the research through CIHR's programs, evaluating the programs and resultant outcomes and providing feedback to the planning cycle. Suicide in the aboriginal community is a major issue, as addressed in the report entitled, "Acting on What We Know: Preventing Youth Suicide in First Nations-The Report of the Advisory Group on Suicide Prevention" (released in 2003). Suicide among First Nations youth has been occurring at an alarming rate in recent years. Statistics show an Aboriginal suicide rate two to three times higher than the non-Aboriginal rate for Canada, and within the youth age group, the Aboriginal suicide rate is estimated to be five to six times higher than that of non-Aboriginal youth. The goal of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research -Institute of Aboriginal Peoples' Health (CIHR-IAPH) is to lead a national advanced research agenda in the area of Aboriginal health, and to promote innovative research in this field that improves the health of Aboriginal peoples living in Canada. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Neurosciences, Mental Health and Addiction (CIHR-INMHA) will support research to enhance mental health, neurological health, vision, hearing, and cognitive functioning and to reduce the burden of related disorders through prevention strategies, screening, diagnosis, treatment, support systems, and palliation. Associated research will advance our understanding of human thought, emotion, behaviour, sensation (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell), perception, learning and memory.

Antidepressant Alternative - Help Beat Teen and Child Depression   

Many doctors and psychiatrists prescribe synthetic anti-depressants for children with depression or other developmental disorders. While these medications certainly do have their place, it is my experience that they are significantly over prescribed, without first investigating more natural and equally effective alternatives. Because of the increasing demand for a safe, natural herbal treatment for children with depression, anxiety, OCD, or those with Autism and related disorders, Native Remedies has developed MindSoothe Jr. Using the same highly successful formula as MindSoothe (adult version), MindSoothe Jr. contains St John's Wort and Passiflora in child-friendly dosage.

Asperger's Syndrome Medication for Symptoms of Child/Adult Disorder   

Offering natural remedies for Asperger's Syndrome, information, and help from a practicing Clinical Psychologist. Herbal and homeopathic remedies can be viable alternatives to the synthetic drugs and may be just as effective, with far fewer risks and side effects. Asperger's Syndrome was first identified in 1944, but was only officially recognized as a diagnostic category in the DSM IV in 1994. As a result, many children were misdiagnosed over the years as ADD/HD, Autistic, OCD or even schizophrenic. Many different terms are currently applied, leading to great confusion on the part of parents and educators. Asperger's Syndrome may also be referred to as High Functioning Autism (HFA), Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD), Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD - NOS), Atypical PDD or even Nonverbal Learning Disability (NLD). While there is no specific treatment or 'cure' for Asperger's Syndrome, there are many interventions which can significantly improve the functioning and quality of life of people and children with Asperger's.

David Baldwin's Trauma Information Pages   

These Trauma Pages focus primarily on emotional trauma and traumatic stress, including PTSD (Post-traumatic Stress Disorder) and dissociation, whether following individual traumatic experience(s) or a large-scale disaster. The purpose of this award winning site is to provide information for clinicians and researchers in the traumatic-stress field. Specifically, my interests here include both clinical and research aspects of trauma responses and their resolution. For example; What goes on biologically in the brain during traumatic experience and its resolution? Which psychotherapeutic procedures are most effective with traumatic symptoms, for which patients and why? How can we best measure clinical efficacy and treatment outcome for trauma survivor populations? Supportive resources supplement the more academic or research information of interest to clinicians, researchers, and students. I do realize that these are not mutually exclusive groups. Since 19 May 1995 (a month after the Oklahoma City bombing), this site has welcomed 1,400,655 visits (363 today).

Those losses and stresses of daily living can at times be significantly debilitating. At times we need outside help from a trained, licensed professional in order to work through these problems. Through therapy, psychologists help millions of Americans of all ages live healthier, more productive lives.
