Convicted child killer disputes warnings
Again, much like the Megan’s Law cases, I have to ask, if this man is so dangerous that you have to harass him and warn everyone in town about him, why was he ever released from prison? Aren’t early releases determined by whether the prisoner has been rehabilitated? If he is rehabilitated, than leave him alone, and if he’s not, he shouldn’t be out of jail. Why is this so hard for people to get?
I found myself reading this article about Queen Underwood, a female boxer represeting the US at the Olympics earlier today. The headline grabbed my attention, because she is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, but the story actually contained something I don’t see often, although I doubt she is alone in this. She admits to…
By now you’ve heard all about the riots that followed Ohio State’s victory over Michigan, but what you may not know is how common this sort of thing has become. This got greater media coverage because the game was for a spot in the Fiesta Bowl National Championship game so ESPN,CNN etc. were all in…
Pin Yes, it’s May, and that means it’s Mental Health Month, one of the times of the calendar year where we try and share stories, resources, and the life the voices of those struggling with their own mental health.
I became an uncle for the second time today. My sister-in-law gave birth to a baby girl this morning. I can’t wait to go meet my little niece. On the other hand, I’m also supposed to be meeting the other member of my family that I talked about earlier, to talk about the abuse and…
Pin The content of the article is pretty accurate, but if you saw the article shared on Twitter, for example, with just the headline, what would your take-away be? Oh, the headline? This is what it said:
“If this happened to you in childhood, you may have mental health problems”
That headline seems to imply the exact opposite of the content of the article. The study they are reporting on, actually says the opposite of that. It implies that we really don’t know or understand all of the causes of mental health issues. For some, it may be tied to childhood trauma, for another person it may be tied to something else, or someone with a lot of childhood trauma didn’t grow up with mental health issues.Â
Since we know many, many people only read the headline and then either move on, or share based on the headline alone. I can’t help but wonder how many people are sharing something, assuming that it says that childhood trauma causes mental health issues, when the article actually says it’s more complicated than that.Â
Saw another nice bit of helpful information over at the Occupational Adventure blog today. Curt lnks to an article, ten tips to build belief in yourself and offers his own, condensed list. (That makes for easy printing to use as a reminder to yourself.) I can attest that I’ve done some of things on this…
