Groundbreaking Book Offers New Treatment for Compassion Fatigue – the Leading Cause of Burnout Among Professional Care Providers

Groundbreaking Book Offers New Treatment for Compassion Fatigue – the Leading Cause of Burnout Among Professional Care Providers

Compassion Fatigue is the leading cause of burnout in the healthcare industry today. Breath of Relief offers a new and specific approach to transform burnout into peak performance.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) April 30, 2005

Acanthus Publishing of Boston announces the publication of Breath of Relief: Transforming Compassion Fatigue into Flow, an illustrated guide that offers the first thorough examination of the causes, symptoms, and cures for Secondary Traumatic Stress Syndrome, also known as “Compassion Fatigue.” Written by the nation’s leading expert on Compassion Fatigue, Karl LaRowe, the groundbreaking book comes with an instructional DVD that shows Karl demonstrating his FlowMotion™ techniques for releasing the effects of secondary traumatic stress trapped in the body. These techniques combine movement and breathing exercises to reintegrate the mind, body, and breath. With FlowMotion™, care providers can maintain health and alertness on the job and combat the depression, drug abuse, and occupational burnout that often results from repeated exposure to the trauma and suffering of others.

“Breath of Relief is a breakthrough examination of a current major crisis affecting the professional care industries as well as an indispensable text for any caregiver facing critical burnout,” says the book’s publisher, Paige Stover Hague, President of Acanthus Publishing of Boston. “Karl’s FlowMotion™ techniques will help America’s overworked, overstressed care providers find the physical and emotional stamina to continue their important work.”

In Breath of Relief, LaRowe explains why Compassion Fatigue is becoming a major occupational hazard among today’s care providers. “It’s common knowledge among health care providers that care giving can come with a price,” he says. “Doctors, nurses, social workers, counselors, hospital staff, basically anyone involved in health care is being called upon to spend more time, energy, attention, and intention to help alleviate the pain of others. If we’re not careful we can absorb victims’ pain, which leads to a massive stress build-up, Compassion Fatigue, and occupational burnout.”

To fight Compassion Fatigue, LaRowe developed FlowMotion™, a series of exercises based on the Chinese martial art of Qigong, which he studied thoroughly during his stay in Singapore as the Clinical Director for the Singapore Association of Mental Health. Breath of Relief concludes with an extended study and description of FlowMotion™ and the way it lets the body release stagnant energy stored as a result of Compassion Fatigue. Detailed black-and-white illustrations offer a step-by-step breakdown of stress-busting movements and exercises, and the instructional DVD accompanying the book gives readers a chance to practice their FlowMotion™ techniques in sync with Karl.

Breath of Relief: Transforming Compassion Fatigue into Flow is available for purchase for $39.95 at www. breathofrelief. com and www. acanthuspublishing. com. Complimentary review copies are available upon request to the media.

About Karl LaRowe:

Karl LaRowe, MA, LCSW, is the leading authority on Compassion Fatigue in the English-speaking world and a recognized expert on traumatic stress disorders. After earning an MA in clinical social work and working as a therapist in a trauma ward, Karl burned out completely, suffering from depression and remaining functional only through the use of prescription medications. In 1990 he moved to Southeast Asia, where he became the clinical director of the Singapore Association for Mental Health, consultant to the National Council of Social Services, and trainer in stress management. In an effort to manage his symptoms he began to study Qigong. Using these martial art movements in combination with his own regime of stress relieving exercise, Karl has overcome his depression and remained drug-free since 1991. Karl has researched and originated ways of combining eastern methods of meditation and movement with western ideas of psychology and hard clinical data. He currently provides clinical services as a mental health investigator and expert witness in commitment hearings and trains health care providers and other caregivers throughout the country in ways to recognize and relieve traumatic stress.

Try As You Might, Avoiding Debt Can Be Impossible - Financial Education Not a Solution for Those Who’ve Fallen on Hard Times

Try As You Might, Avoiding Debt Can Be Impossible - Financial Education Not a Solution for Those Who’ve Fallen on Hard Times

The rising debt load in the United Kingdom is often attributed to weekend spenders using their credit cards to purchase the latest and greatest clothing, DVDs and electronic gadgets. It’s common to think the largest debtors are the ones who are living outside their means and using credit to finance their lifestyles. But problem debt isn’t just an issue for those whose fingers are worn out from entering their PIN; the people with the worst debt of all are often taken by surprise.

RUNCORN, England (PRWEB) July 20, 2006

The rising debt load in the United Kingdom is often attributed to weekend spenders using their credit cards to purchase the latest and greatest clothing, DVDs and electronic gadgets. It's common to think the largest debtors are the ones who are living outside their means and using credit to finance their lifestyles. But problem debt isn't just an issue for those whose fingers are worn out from entering their PIN; the people with the worst debt of all are often taken by surprise.

"For most people in the UK debt is not a way of life, but it consumes the lives of individuals after they have suffered from an unexpected event such as job loss or the death of a spouse," said Steve Rhode, chairman of the not-for-profit financial crisis centre Myvesta UK. "People often prepare for financial emergencies and have the best laid out plans in front of them for when crisis strikes, but all too often those plans fall short and crippling debt becomes the norm."

According to Mr Rhode, concepts such as educating consumers on how to properly manage their finances or warning individuals about the dangers of overspending do nothing to help people who end up in debt due to an overwhelming life event. Mr Rhode said:

"Whenever debt levels rise or the number of bankruptcies increases, there is always a cry that we need more education to teach people how to manage their money, but how does financial education help the single mother with three children who was recently abandoned by her husband? We can put warning labels on credit cards and we can tell people to spend within their means, but without concentrating on solutions for those who are already facing problem debt, we're just spinning our tyres."

Mr Rhode said that giving people the skills and tools necessary to avoid problem debt should be a large priority, but that emphasis also needs to be placed on providing the right solutions when people get into trouble. He said:

"All the financial education in the world can't stop life events from causing people to get into debt. And while education is important to give people the tools and knowledge to manage their money responsibly, we need to concentrate on providing caring, compassionate solutions when people find themselves in over their heads."

Myvesta UK is dedicated to helping people create healthy financial lives. The organisation provides a wide range of materials and services to inspire and inform people so that they can break down their barriers to financial and personal success.

Gloria Steinem Embarks on 1,500 Mile GLO-Tour Through Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin From October 25th Until Election Day

Gloria Steinem Embarks on 1,500 Mile GLO-Tour Through Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin From October 25th Until Election Day

Gloria Steinem, writer and feminist organizer, announced today that she will travel over 1,500 miles in an RV through Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from October 25th through Election Day. Steinhem will be meeting with citizens and concerned voters along the way who wish to discuss the most important issues facing American voters.

New York and Cincinnati (PRWEB) October 22, 2004

Gloria Steinem, writer and feminist organizer, announced today that she will travel over 1,500 miles in an RV through Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin from October 25th through Election Day. Steinhem will be meeting with citizens and concerned voters along the way who wish to discuss the most important issues facing American voters.

As part of Gloria Steinem's GLO-Tour, Women of Ohio and the World (WOO) will be hosting a talk by Ms. Steinem in Cincinnati, Ohio. Entitled "Why This is the Most Important Election of My Lifetime," the event will take place at the Unity Thought Center, 1401 East McMillan on Tuesday, October 26 from 5:30-7:00 pm. The talk is free and open to the public on a first-come-first-serve basis.

In addition to the lecture, Women of Ohio and the World will host a fundraising reception from 4:00-5:30 pm, and tickets are $25. Space is limited. Tickets for the reception can be reserved by emailing WOO at desk@womenofohio. org. "We are thrilled to be welcoming Toledo native Steinem back to Ohio," said Chris Cuomo of Women of Ohio and the World. Women of Ohio and the World is a political organization working to advance progressive values and democracy in the American heartland and beyond. For more information about WOO, visit www. womenofohio. org.

“I’m taking this action,” says Steinem, “because I’ve lived through the election of every US President since Franklin Delano Roosevelt and the fundamental differences in world view between Bush and Kerry make this the most crucial election in my lifetime.” Steinem adds, “Whether young people go to war or not, whether women can make their own reproductive decisions or not, whether there is arsenic in our drinking water or respect for the United States in the world – these are just a few of the life and death questions that depend upon which of these two men is elected President and which Party is in control of Congress. Voters also need to be aware that the next President will likely appoint two or three of the nine Supreme Court Justices, who rule for a lifetime. We are not just talking about four years, but decades of influence over our rights.”

Ms. Steinem notes that women and young people are the majority of undecided voters because they feel less in control of their lives and are less likely to have access to information. They make up their minds in the last weeks or days before the election. By that time, the media has often devolved into “gotcha” journalism or even-handed negativism.

“You can’t find out such simple things as the fact that college tuition has gone up a third since Bush took office,” says Steinem, “or that worldwide terrorism has increased dramatically since the invasion of Iraq. I want to offer facts, simple comparative lists of issues, and websites for people who want to know more. I also want to hear what people think about these issues.” Among the topics Steinem plans to discuss along the way include the war in Iraq, unemployment, healthcare, the environment, stem cell research and Supreme Court nominations.

Sponsoring Gloria SteinhemÂ’s tour are People for the American Way Voters Alliance, the Feminist Majority Voter Fund, The Planned Parenthood Action Fund, the Young Voter Alliance and the League of Pissed-off Voters. SteinemÂ’s tour will include stops in Mentor, OH; Toledo, OH; Cincinnati, OH; Delaware, OH; Pittsburgh, PA; State College, PA; Phoenixville, PA; Philadelphia, PA; Doylestown, PA; Madison, WI; Janesville, WI; and Milwaukee, WI.

For up-to-the-minute information on Gloria's whereabouts beginning on October 25th, call 1-877-GLO-TOUR (456-8687) or visit www. pfaw-votersalliance. org

Kelly Skidmore, Democratic Candidate for Florida House of Representatives -- Irving Slosberg's Seat

Kelly Skidmore is interviewed on "FloridaVoiceInPolitics." A Democrat, she is the only female running in the primary race for Irv Slosberg's seat, District 90, Florida House of Representatives.

Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) July 22, 2006

Democrat Kelly Skidmore is a candidate for the Florida House seat for District 90 (includes parts of both Palm Beach and Broward county). In the interview with "Florida-VoiceInPolitics," broadcast over www. goodpoliticsradio. com/fl (http://www. goodpoliticsradio. com/fl)., Kelly talks about her experience in politics. Having worked 10 years as State Senator Ron Klein's administrative assistant, she feels she has the vast amount of experience necessary to "hit the ground running" and not have to waste valuable time learning on the job. She has built relationships in Tallahassee and across the state, enabling her to be the most effective legislator for her constituents.

Kelly discusses her views on the 3 most important issues facing the legislature in 2007, private property insurance, healthcare and education. She also talks about the importance of making public transportation available to more citizens, "we can't build our way out of I-95 grid lock, we are at or near capacity. We need a strong feeder system for Tri-Rail." Kelly also intensely stresses the necessity of a public awareness campaign on living wills and end of life decisions.

You can hear Kelly Skidmore speak passionately on the important issues facing Floridians across the state and why she feels she is the best equipped person to represent District 90. "What comes first is what is important to the people of Florida, what is best for them, not Republican or Democrat."
