Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A girl's friendship with a lonely black hole leads her to face her own sadness in this original, funny, and touching middle grade novel for fans of Crenshaw and Flora & Ulysses. When eleven-year-old Stella Rodriguez shows up at NASA to request that her recording be included in Carl Sagan's Golden Record, something unexpected happens: A black hole follows her home, and sets out to live in her house as a pet. The black hole swallows everything he touches, which is challenging to say the least—but also turns out to be a convenient way to get rid of those items that Stella doesn't want around. Soon the ugly sweaters her aunt has made for her all disappear within the black hole, as does the smelly class hamster she's taking care of, and most important, all the reminders of her dead father that are just too painful to have around. It's not until Stella, her younger brother, Cosmo, the family puppy, and even the bathroom tub all get swallowed up by the black hole that Stella comes to realize she has been letting her own grief consume her. And that's not the only thing she realizes as she attempts to get back home. This is an astonishingly original and funny adventure with a great big heart.

Download or read book TIP 35 Enhancing Motivation for Change in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Updated 2019 written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-19 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivation is key to substance use behavior change. Counselors can support clients' movement toward positive changes in their substance use by identifying and enhancing motivation that already exists. Motivational approaches are based on the principles of person-centered counseling. Counselors' use of empathy, not authority and power, is key to enhancing clients' motivation to change. Clients are experts in their own recovery from SUDs. Counselors should engage them in collaborative partnerships. Ambivalence about change is normal. Resistance to change is an expression of ambivalence about change, not a client trait or characteristic. Confrontational approaches increase client resistance and discord in the counseling relationship. Motivational approaches explore ambivalence in a nonjudgmental and compassionate way.

Download or read book Social Justice Counseling written by Rita Chi-Ying Chung and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2012 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Social Justice Counseling is the next step toward alleviating the injustices faced by individuals in society and it is a natural extension of multicultural counseling. Issues of social justice are dominating conferences across the mental health disciplines, with a greater focus on alleviating broader social inequities such as equity, access and fairness for each individual. At a micro level social justice issues play out in the form of gender discrimination, sexual harassment, equal access to education, fair housing, and more. Traditionally counselors have been focused on the individual, however, in recent years there has been a shift for all mental health professionals to address issues of social class, race and ethnicity and more. This books offers a supplement to important issues regarding social justice and will highly enhance the content taught in multicultural courses. The authors are leading authorities on social justice counseling and have led the way to create a specialization in social justice counseling at their school at George Mason University. This book is the first to bring all these concepts together, tie them to multiculturalism, and offer personal applications and tools for mental health professionals. It is theoretical yet highly practical in offering concrete steps toward becoming more social justice oriented"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Gender violence Change your life and stop being a victim it s easy written by Oleg Nashchubskiy and published by Oleg Nashchubskiy. This book was released on with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender-based violence is a complex and multifaceted issue, and many people, even if they do not have direct experience as a victim or perpetrator, still have difficulty understanding it. Initially, it is important to recognize that gender-based violence is not limited to physical violence. It also includes emotional, psychological and economic abuse, as well as threats and control. Most cases of gender-based violence do not occur due to force, but rather due to the desire to control and suppress another person. Regarding the question of why men commit gender-based violence and women remain in such relationships, the answers can be multifaceted and depend on the specific situation. For example, men may use gender-based violence to maintain power and control in relationships, and women may remain in such relationships due to fear, dependency, economic vulnerability, or cultural and social dynamics. Gender-based violence is a broad and complex social problem that affects many aspects of human life. It can manifest itself in various forms and contexts, including the family environment, social relationships, work environment, etc. It is important to understand that gender-based violence is not limited only to physical actions, although they often act as one of its manifestations. It also includes emotional abuse, psychological abuse, economic abuse, and threats and behavioral control. One of the main causes of gender-based violence is the desire to control and suppress another person. This may occur due to inequalities in power and status between partners, as well as cultural and social attitudes that support and reinforce inequality between genders. In addition, stereotypes about masculinity and femininity can contribute to the emergence and maintenance of gender-based violence by creating norms of behavior that justify or normalize such actions. It is important to understand that gender-based violence can affect all people, regardless of their gender, age, race, social status or other characteristics. Although women make up the majority of victims of gender-based violence, men can also be victims, and this often goes unappreciated or underappreciated in society. Gender -based violence can affect both women and men, and people of any gender identity. It is important to understand that gender-based violence is not limited to female victims, although women and girls make up a significant proportion of victims. However, men, boys and people with other gender identities can also be vulnerable to gender-based violence. Research shows that men can also be victims of gender-based violence, but the frequency and forms of violence may vary depending on cultural, social and other factors. Gender-based violence is a complex and diverse issue that requires attention and support for all victims, regardless of their gender identity. Combating gender-based violence requires a systemic approach that includes education and public awareness of the problem, strengthening legal and legal responses, support for victims, and working to change cultural norms and stereotypes about gender. Working to overcome gender-based violence requires the participation of the entire society and efforts at all levels - from the personal to the global. Gender-based violence includes a wide range of forms, including physical, emotional, sexual and economic violence, as well as threats and controlling behavior. It can manifest itself in various areas of life, including the family environment, social relationships, work environment, etc. In our world, where we strive for equality and justice, the topic of gender-based violence remains one of the most important and relevant. Gender-based violence is not only a physical problem, but also a complex socio-cultural phenomenon that covers various aspects of human life. In our book we will look at this problem in all its manifestations and aspects, exploring the various types of violence, its causes and consequences, as well as ways to overcome and prevent it. In the first part, we dive into the world of types of gender-based violence, revealing its multifaceted nature: from physical violence to emotional, psychological and economic. We will look at each type separately, analyzing its causes, mechanisms of action and consequences for victims. In Part 2, we delve deeper into the drivers and causes of gender-based violence, exploring the role of cultural stereotypes, social expectations, power and control. We will conduct research into the personal and psychological factors that contribute to the emergence and maintenance of gender-based violence in modern society. The third part of our book is dedicated to support for victims of gender-based violence. We cover primary care, safety, mental health, legal and social support, offering readers practical advice and resources to support themselves and those around them. In part four, we will turn to preventing and combating gender-based violence, discussing the role of education, programs and campaigns, working with perpetrators and community engagement in solving this problem. The final part of our book will review the main ideas proposed in it and call readers to action. We hope that our work will become not only a source of knowledge, but also a source of inspiration for those who strive to create a world free of gender-based violence. We invite you on a journey through the complex paths of gender-based violence, where together we will try to understand its nature, consequences and ways to overcome it.
