CLEVELAND, Ohio — A MetroHealth initiative helping people with severe mental health diagnoses and criminal
convictions get back on track is proving effective in keeping participants out of jail, data shows.
The program helps participants plan for their release and supports them after they leave jail.
It’s also free for them. The program can help former inmates
fill out food stamp applications or social security paperwork, line up jobs,
find housing, schedule and arrange transportation to doctor’s appointments and fill prescriptions.
"I see it time and time again, it’s very overwhelming for these folks who are recently exiting incarceration. They don’t even know where to start. You walk out of jail, and you might have lost your apartment and all your clothes and everything.
And you’re just standing there on the sidewalk," WRAP nurse care coordinator Rashell Tallent said in an interview.
"Our patients know that they can come here. The program also works to help individuals who are not currently in jail, but who have a history of incarceration. Since 2013, the program has touched about 900 people. Participants are typically low-level, non-violent offenders. 300,000 annually, and has received support from the U.S. Department of Justice, the Woodruff Foundation and the Alcohol, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services Board of Cuyahoga County. It expects to receive money this year from the ADAHMS Board, Cuyahoga County and philanthropic grants.
"We don’t view our patients primarily as
offenders, even though they are in jail, they have been arrested," said its founder, Ewald Horwath, who chairs the MetroHealth department of psychiatry said. Shannon Kuhn, a 38-year-old mother from Parma, said WRAP helped her connect with doctors, and get sober. She was approached about the program during a two-month stint in Cuyahoga County jail a little more than a year ago, which she said was her first time in jail. Her charges have now been dismissed, and she’s awaiting expungement, because of her participation in WRAP. She said she’s never received the kind of support she got from the program. She went from being homeless and staying with a friend, to having her own home, a full-time job, and a car. "They just hugged me and just gave me love," she said, recalling her first experience with the program. "They let me know that they were going to be there for me.
Dr. Carl Rogers' classic On Becoming a Person (1961) describes the "Good Life" from a
therapist's point of view as "being a Fully Functioning Person".
This is the same state of wholeness perennially described in the world's spiritual literature.
Lao Tzu. The way to do is to be, to go with the flow, tobe open, flexible and creative.
The way to lose at life is to be rigid, inflexible, obsessed with thoughts about the past
("if only") or the future ("what if"), and to keep regular company with feelings
such as fear, anger and self-pity. Lao Tzu's spiritual classic is
the second most translated book in the world,
second only to the Bible. Dr. Redford Williams, in his 1989 book The Trusting Heart ,
notes that the patterns of thoughts and feelings which produce health
and longevity include being slow to anger, trusting of others, compassionate and kind.

Mental Health is an emotional and psychological state of an individual who is working at a satisfactory level of emotional and behavioral adjustment.
It is a term used to describe either a level of cognitive or
emotional well-being or an absence of a mental disorder.
Mental health problem may include serious depression, serious anxiety, hallucinations, violent behavior or thoughts of suicide that
may be recovered a lot with the help of Music Therapy as music gives soothe feeling to
our mind. Mental illness ranks second in terms of causing
disability. It is an efficacious and valid treatment for people who have
psychosocial, affective, cognitive and communicative needs.
It may provide a means of improving mental health among people with schizophrenia,
but its effects in acute psychoses have not been explored.
Music therapists assess emotional well-being, physical health, social
functioning, communication abilities, and cognitive skills through musical responses.
Research has shown that music has a profound effect on your body
and psyche. In fact, music therapy is an effective therapy of health care that uses music to heal.
In short, Music Therapy sessions include the use of active music making, music listening, and discussion. Since music therapy is a powerful and enjoyable medium, unique outcomes are possible.
With all these benefits that music can carry, it's no surprise
that music therapy is growing in popularity.
Do you ever forget to take care of yourself? I know. You’re busy, and
finding the time to take proper care of yourself can be hard.
But if you don’t, it won’t be long before you’re battered from
exhaustion and operating in a mental fog where it’s hard
to care about anything or anyone. A few years ago, I
had a corporate job in London, working a regular sixty-hour
week. I enjoyed working with my clients and colleagues, and I wanted to do well.
But I had no life. I rarely took care of myself, and I was
always focused on goals, achievements, and meeting the excessive expectations
I had of myself.
My high tolerance for discomfort meant I juggled
all the balls I had in the air—but at the expense of
being a well-rounded human being. So I made an unusual choice.
I quit my job and moved to Thailand to work in a freelance capacity across many different countries and companies, which enabled me to set my own hours and engagements.
I began to take care of myself better, scheduling in time
alone, for exercise, and for fun. I got to know myself better and know what I needed—not just to function,
but to flourish. At the end of last year, I spent
Christmas alone in bed, completely exhausted. Why did this
happen? Well, I had been running my busy website and consulting
in seven countries in just two
months. I forgot to take care of myself again, and I got a nasty case of strep throat.
The strep throat was a harsh reminder that self-care isn’t something you do once and tick off the list.
It’s the constant repetition of many tiny
habits, which together soothe you and make sure you’re at your optimum—emotionally, physically, and mentally.
The best way to do this is to implement tiny self-care habits every day.
To regularly include in your life a little bit of love and attention for
your own body, mind, and soul. The following
ideas are tiny self-care activities you can fit into a short amount of time, usually with little cost.
Pick one from each category, and include them in your life this week.
1. Start a compliments file. Document
the great things people say about you to read later.
2. Scratch off a lurker on your to-do list, something that’s been there for ages and you’ll never do.
3. Change up the way you make decisions. Decide something with your heart
if you usually use your head. Or if you tend to go with
your heart, decide with your head. 4. Go cloud-watching.
Lie on your back, relax, and watch the sky. 5. Take
another route to work. Mixing up your routine in small ways creates new
neural pathways in the brain to keep it healthy.
6. Pay complete attention to something you usually do on autopilot, perhaps brushing your teeth, driving, eating, or performing your morning routine.
7. Goof around for a bit. Schedule in five minutes of "play" (non-directed activity) several times throughout your
day. 8. Create a deliberate habit, and routinize something small in your life by doing it in the same way each day—what you wear on Tuesdays,
or picking up the dental floss before you brush. 9.
Fix a small annoyance at home that’s been nagging you—a button lost, a drawer that’s stuck, a
light bulb that’s gone. 10. Punctuate your day with a mini-meditation with one
minute of awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and
sensations; one minute of focused attention on breathing;
and one minute of awareness of the body as a
whole.
11. Be selfish.
Do one thing today just because it makes you happy. 12. Do a mini-declutter.
Recycle three things from your wardrobe that you don’t love or regularly wear.
13. Unplug for an hour. Switch everything to airplane mode
and free yourself from the constant bings of social media
and email. 14. Get out of your comfort zone, even if it’s
just talking to a stranger at the bus stop. 15. Edit your social media feeds,
and take out any negative people. You can just "mute" them; you don’t have to delete them.
1. Give your body ten minutes of mindful attention.
Use the body scan technique to check in with each part of your body.
2. Oxygenate by taking three deep breaths. Breathe into
your abdomen, and let the air puff out your stomach and chest.
3. Get down and boogie. Put on your favorite upbeat record and shake your booty.
4. Stretch out the kinks. If you’re at work, you can always head to the
bathroom to avoid strange looks. 5. Run (or walk, depending on your
current physical health) for a few minutes. Or go up and down the stairs three times.
6. Narrow your food choices. Pick two healthy breakfasts,
lunches, and dinners and rotate for the week. 7. Activate your self-soothing system.
Stroke your own arm, or if that feels too weird, moisturize.
8. Get to know yourself intimately. Look lovingly and without judgment at yourself naked.
Use a mirror to make sure you get to know all of you!
9. Make one small change to your diet for the week.
Drink an extra glass of water each day, or have an extra portion of veggies each meal.
10. Give your body a treat. Pick something from your wardrobe that
feels great next to your skin. 11. Be still. Sit somewhere green, and be quiet for a few
minutes. 12. Get fifteen minutes of sun, especially if you’re in a cold climate.
13. Inhale an upbeat smell. Try peppermint to suppress food cravings and boost mood
and motivation.
14. Have a good laugh. Read a couple of comic strips that you enjoy.
15. Take a quick nap. Ten to twenty minutes can reduce your sleep debt and leave you ready for action. 1.
Imagine you’re your best friend. If you were, what would you tell yourself
right now? Look in the mirror and say it. 2. Use your commute for a "Beauty Scavenger Hunt." Find five unexpected beautiful things on your way to work.
3. Help someone. Carry a bag, open a door, or pick up an extra carton of milk for a neighbor.
4. Check in with your emotions.
Sit quietly and just name without judgment what you’re feeling.
5. Write out your thoughts. Go for fifteen minutes on anything bothering
you. Then let it go as you burn or bin the paper.
6. Choose who you spend your time with today. Hang out with
"Radiators" who emit enthusiasm and positivity, and not "Drains" whose pessimism and negativity robs energy.
7. Stroke a pet. If you don’t have one, go to the park and find one.
8. Get positive feedback. Ask three good friends to tell you what they love about you.
9. Make a small connection. Have a few sentences of conversation with someone in customer service such
as a sales assistant or barista. 10. Splurge a little. Buy
a small luxury as a way of valuing yourself.
11. Have a self-date.
12. Exercise a signature strength. Think about what you’re
good at, and find an opportunity for it today. 13. Take a home spa.
Have a long bath or shower, sit around in your bathrobe, and read magazines.
14. Ask for help—big or small, but reach out.
15. Plan a two-day holiday for next weekend. Turn off your phone, tell people you’ll
be away, and then do something new in your own town. With a little bit
of attention to your own self-care, the fog will lift.
You’ll feel more connected to yourself and the world around you.
You’ll delight in small pleasures, and nothing will seem quite as difficult as it did before.
Like that car, you must keep yourself tuned up to make
sure that you don’t need a complete overhaul. Incorporating a few of these tiny self-care ideas in your day will help
keep you in tune. Which one will you try first?

Many years ago, I was intimately involved, in the alternative health, industry, and had the pleasure, and privilege, of
being introduced to many of the giants, of that essential component of maintaining, safely our health.
While nearly every civilized nation, other than the United States, uses a sane combination, of holistic/ alternative approaches,
with conventional ones, this nation, predominantly, focuses, exclusively, on the latter.
1. Acute ailments: These ailments are those, which come on, suddenly, and need immediate attention. For example, infections are often best addressed,
with antibiotics, so, before things, get, out - of - hand, you address and eliminate potential
challenges. 2. Life threatening: If you are diagnosed with a life
- threatening disease, follow your doctor's instructions, without delay.
