National MPS Society’s Post

Celebrating California's "healing arts" professionals today! As a newly licensed LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor), I'm celebrating this exciting new stage in a long journey. It took more years than expected, mostly due to COVID. But here's the joy: I did not stop doing face-to-face sessions one day during the pandemic (although we created some uplifting face masks!). Our mission is to serve "wounded warriors", every branch, every war/peacetime era, every service-related injury, and more. How are you helping our veterans and active-duty wounded heal?

Maybe because it's in my name, but I always enjoy receiving and sending a handwritten card in the #mail! See how this simple act can make a #RippleEffect of #kindness. 💌 #NationalCardAndLetterWritingMonth

Why are some kiddos more resilient than others in the wake of ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). And what can we do to promote resilience? Read this great article about PACEs (Protective and Compensatory Experiences) from Natalie Evenson MSN, BSW, RN, SANE-A, SANE-P, IVSE-C. If you're struggling with helping a child find a way forward, this may be exactly what you need. Evidentia Learning

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation is a solemn reminder of the thousands of Indigenous children who were forcibly taken from their families and placed in residential schools, where many suffered abuse and neglect. This dark chapter in Canadian history has left lasting scars on Indigenous communities, affecting generations. Today, this day serves not only to remember and honor those children but also to acknowledge the ongoing impact of these injustices. It calls on all Canadians to reflect on the past and work towards healing and reconciliation, fostering a society that respects and values Indigenous cultures and histories. #truthandreconciliation #indigenous #orangeshirtday #everychildmatters #residentialschools #canada #reconciliation #trc #firstnations #truth #canadianhistory #indigenouslivesmatter #mmiwg #residentialschoolsurvivors #socialstudies #turtleisland #canadianteachers #nationaldayfortruthandreconciliation #september #indigenouscanada #metis #native

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honor the survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. Let us take time to reflect on the truths of the past, acknowledge the harm done, and commit to meaningful actions that foster healing, understanding, and true reconciliation.

Imagine your company gives you money to go help others in your community… that’s what Build then Bless does! And now my kids get to experience that with me. Comment below if you want to learn more about how Build Then Bless works.

Perspective... The wealth of scientific data shows that the risk of seizure post DTP vaccination is no more than non vaccinated children. Such fevers are not vaccine related, they are febrile related. And too often, such seizure could be related to an underlying neurological abnormality not yet identified. ``(...)the risks of seizures and other neurological events following diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis (DTP) immunization for 38,171 Tennessee Medicaid children who received 107,154 DTP immunizations in their first 3 years of life. There were 2 children with encephalitis; both had disease onset more than 2 weeks following DTP immunization. There were 277 children who had febrile seizures, 42 with afebrile seizures, and 37 with seizures associated with other acute neurological illness (acute symptomatic). The risk of febrile seizures in the 0 to 3 days following DTP immunization (n = 6) was 1.5 (95% confidence interval, 0.6 to 3.3) times that of the control period 30 or more days following DTP immunization. There was no evidence that in the 0 to 3 days following DTP immunization the risk of afebrile seizures (n = 1) or acute symptomatic seizures (n = 0) was increased. No child who was previously normal without a prior history of seizures had a seizure in the 0 to 3 days following immunization that marked the onset of either epilepsy or other neurological or developmental abnormality.`` While Ted Kuntz`s son story is a sad one, as would be any underlying neurological issue, we should put things in perspective and always consider that beyond vaccine`s adverse events, there could be comorbidities present explaining such. Blaming vaccines is always easier than balming nature and genetics... But what is terrible here is that, making money out of these sad stories, is terrible...
