CCAA Working Group has been asked to consider four bases of authority to consider the issue of homosexuality.

The first foundation is the teaching of the Christian Bible and historical information about human sexuality. What does the Bible say about homosexuality? More broadly, what are the positive teachings on human sexuality is taught in the Scriptures and have implications for many facets of human sexuality, including sexual identity and behavior of the same sex? Our desire is to provide a context for understanding the scriptures and the way it has been the Christian teaching on human sexuality is transmitted through the centuries.

, the Working Group is considering AACC science bio-psycho-social. What we know about the homosexuality of the best studies have been conducted to date? How can these studies tell a Christian vision of human sexuality, sexual identity and homosexuality?

anticipate a written document into two parts. The first is a Resolution on Marriage and sexual orientation. Foundations that could be considered Scripture, Christian tradition, and provide a sociological and historical foundations. Then review the research on same-sex attraction, orientation and identity, stress, mental health and related problems among those who identify as gay, lesbian or bisexual (GLB), and research on same-sex relationships. Then turn our attention to ethics mental health clinic and offer a resolution to the legal and public policy to be addressed.

The second part would be a resolution on family and sexual orientation. Again, to begin with biblical and Christian history, followed by a review of research on same-sex attraction, orientation and identity, and same-sex relationships, parents and children of people who identify as GLB. Then, discuss the ethics mental health clinic and offer a resolution to be discussed public policy issues and legal.

CCAA Working Group on homosexuality will be working through the World Conference of the AACC. Ideally like to have something to offer in that forum, however, may be preliminary. Then make the report available as soon as possible after they are able to put in its final form.

In the end, we hope our report will help Christian counselors to talk positively about Christian sexual ethics and their implications for marriage and family. We intend to do this with critical reflection and consideration of prayer from so many sources of information about human sexuality. Although it has limited and divided our understanding of the key authoritative sources of scripture, behavioral science, professional ethics and the law, we recognize that there are many voices speaking on the topic of perspectives.As so different from our culture comes to understanding this divisive issue, we expect the Working Group on homosexuality CCAA will be able to shed more light than heat in what has clearly become one of the critical issues of Christ and culture in our help day.Take therapist’s phone.

awareness and the ability to understand the causes and issues related to mental disorders go a long way to the management, prevention and treatment of these issues makes teaching and learning to promote. effective and enjoyable Therefore, there is much benefit from the introduction of health education at school, with emphasis on mental health in the curriculum for teachers. The study examined the effect of an educational intervention on knowledge and attitudes of disadvantaged youth in northern India and Thailand. The study aims to evaluate and compare the knowledge about the process of growth, HIV / AIDS, values ??and attitudes of teenage students in school. Reproductive health education is an important strategy to promote prevention among adolescents. The practical training program to build knowledge and attitudes about HIV / AIDS, drug abuse and reproductive health education.

The study of a career in health education can be completed by enrolling in a college or university. Students can get the training they need to pursue a career in health. Getting an education in this field will be possible for many career opportunities. Students can earn an accredited degree set by the finishing of training needs. Get an accredited undergraduate careers in health education can be implemented through a series of training programs in medicine. Completion of a program of this level usually requires years of study. Students can acquire knowledge and skills to pursue a career they want. Allowing undergraduate students to learn to work for individuals and groups to teach a variety of topics.

What are the potential savings?

The proposed program will establish a “temporary” Reinsurance Program for employers who offer health coverage to retirees over age 55 and not yet eligible for Medicare. The program will reimburse employers or insurers for 80% of the claims of retirees between 000 and 000.

How does the reinsurance program?

If we can learn lessons from the Medicare subsidy of Retired Persons (“RDS”) program, which initially drug subsidy calculated as a percentage of all prescription drug claims incurred by the plan sponsors, is likely to be a segment within the government drive to dilute and reduce the category of “right” states in the final calculation. The formula was initially relatively simple RDS until there was a bureaucratic decision to create “excluded” from the classes of drugs of eligibility for subsidies. CMS Rationale behind this change was not to pay subsidies on drugs that were excluded during the government-sponsored Part D drug plan’s formulary. There could be a similar logic to create “excluded” medical expenses eligible for grants align with only approved medical procedures and part of the baseline the government’s plans as defined in the final bill.

How long will this program?

The subsidy is “temporary” as the bill only appropriates millions of dollars to fund this program through January 1, 2014.

quick math shows that funding for this program could be quickly depleted. The 2006 Pew study reported significant Center1 unfunded liabilities for retiree health of state and local governments only. State systems are expected to $ 0.7 million for payment of “other post-employment benefits.” The 30-year retiree health liability is projected to 1000 million, a conservative estimate since these figures do not include obligations of the developers or local government workers in the State of California, along with all local governments in California are projected to a retired billion. health bill in 2009. Add to this all the great Taft Hartley plans, independent VEBA plans (ie, the UAW VEBA) and other large private pension plans in the industry, you can see this earmark evaporation in a short period of time .

Do not just consider the professional degree when picking a counselor or therapist. Do you want a male or female?

Do you want one who is an expert in marriage counseling? Individual counseling? Substance abuse treatment? Do you want a therapist who prescribes drugs?

How about one who can X Ray your personality by using tests? One who can administer hypnosis? Electroshock?

A good first step would be to consult with a healthcare professional who knows the answers to these questions. Call the psychology or psychiatry department at a university.

Talk to a psychology instructor at a local community college or contact the behavioral health unit in your local hospital or your community crisis line.

It is important to be familiar with the training, skills and treatment philosophy of the various types of professionals, and then match what you prefer with what a particular treatment provider has to offer.

Also, talk to the representative of an organization which is concerned with issues like yours i.e. marriage, anxiety, depression etc. Their opinions are invaluable, as they are in contact with many different patients and treatment providers who are concerned with the very same issues as you and they have first hand knowledge of the characteristics and qualities of different types of counselors and therapists.

Your 5 main choices of mental health treatment providers are: The marriage and family counselor, the psychologist, the psychiatrist, the professional mental health counselor and the clinical social worker.

The marriage and family counselor has one to two years of graduate training in counseling those with troubled marriages and family problems. He or she will have a masters degree and will likely have done an internship.

The advantage of using these professionals is that you are working with someone who has intense training in this one area of counseling. The disadvantage is that some insurance companies may not cover their services.

The psychologist holds a doctoral degree in psychology. Some consider him or her to be the most highly trained of mental health professionals. The psychologist has approximately 6 years of college training in the psychological sciences; 2 years of upper division in college and 3 to 4 years of post-graduate school.

A psychologist is trained to do counseling, psychotherapy, research and mental X Rays, better known as psychological testing. They practice marriage and family counseling and therapy to eliminate anxiety, depression as well as the entire range of psychological disorders.

The advantages of using a psychologist are that he is the most highly trained in psychological practice, is an expert in providing cutting edge treatment for diverse problems and uses psychological testing to provide revealing information about how your mind works.

Also, in many cases, he or she is a trained mental health researcher, meaning, in this case, the psychologist is trained not to just practice psychology, but also to contribute to it through research.

Another advantage is that their services are covered by almost all insurance companies who provide mental health coverage.

The clinical social worker and professional counselor provide counseling to eliminate family problems and troubles arising from depression, anxiety, agitation and other emotional disorders. They have from one to two years of post-college level training in counseling and mental health.

The social worker holds a masters degree in social work while the professional counselor holds one in counseling. They both must do an internship and pass a comprehensive examination to practice independently.

Psychiatrists have most of their training in medicine, chemistry and the biological sciences. Their central training in psychiatry and mental health is usually received in the 3 year residency in psychiatry.

They hold a doctoral degree in medicine or osteopathy and receive no substantive training in counseling, family therapy, marital therapy or psychological testing.

They are mainly used to prescribe medication and administer occasional electroshock treatments. Their services are covered by all health insurance companies.

As you can see, there is a wide variety of professionals available to treat emotional problems. The one crucial ingredient, however, is the quality of the rapport you have with your provider.

It is important to check educational credentials, experience and any history of disciplinary action by your state Board. But even after all these check-out, be sure you trust and have an excellent rapport with your therapist, or you might have to start all over again!

Since humans have lived, health has been a major concern of almost every individual, community, society and country. The battle to achieve optimal health for all the world has never ceased. During the past century, dramatic advances have been made in the field of health. The health status of Nepal has improved in the following areas: long life expectancy, the rate of decline in mortality, decreased infant mortality and advanced modern biomedicine. But all of them are not at the level necessary for Nepal.

Health education is a profession that is at the forefront of this battle centuries. His role has never been as high as today. The goal of health education is to provide the person with information, skills and motivation needed to make smart decisions about your lifestyle and personal health behavior. In any case, health education is working to promote health, prevent disease, disability and premature death. Within its limitations of space, this paper intends to introduce the concept of school health programs, and propose a comprehensive school health model might work in Nepal.

EVOLUTION OF

school health program:

Health education has an ancient history and complex. Its beginnings are at the very basis of civilization. Much of the early history of the profession is very similar to that of medicine and related sciences. From now on, especially since 1800, the history of health education has acquired a richness and unique personality of its own. History of school health education dates back to the recognition period (1850-1880), when people start to recognize that the school could be used to educate / disease screening and solve health problems. From 1880 to 1920, school health education experienced a period of exploration when health problems for children and stressed-funded studies had been done to document these health problems. In 1910, the American Physical Education was renamed the American School of Hygiene and Physical Education. In 1927, the American School Health Association was founded. Since 1980, the most sophisticated programs of health education have been developed, which led to the school health education in a new era. Researchers increasingly in health education in schools shows that school health education provides students the opportunity to not only improve health but also the opportunity to achieve a lifestyle that lead to a satisfying life and productive (Porter, 1987).

Historical Model School Health

From late 1880 to late 1990, school health programs is seen as having three components: education health, health services and healthy school environment, which still form the basis for the program of health education today

Comprehensive School Health Program (CSHP)

During the 1980′s, the more sophisticated concepts of school health program have been proposed. In 1987, Allensworth and Kolbe proposed a model, the School Health Program (CSHP), which extended the classic triad of health education, health services and healthy school environment, including physical education, guidance and psychological services, nutrition services, health promotion for staff and parents / community participation components interactively. This model (Figure 4), widely adopted in the United States and internationally, is an organized set of policies, procedures and activities designed to protect and promote the health, safety and welfare of students and school staff (Meek , Heit, and Page, 1996).

CSHP model requires systematic coordination among the eight components to extend the benefits available in each component. In general, schools alone can not and should not be expected to address more serious health of a nation and social problems. Collaborative efforts between families, health workers, media, religious organizations and community organizations must participate to maintain the wellbeing of young people. The glue that could strengthen each component is health education, as is the main source of the one element common to all components — health awareness.

suggestion COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH CARE MODEL SCHOOL

to Nepal

health education became a compulsory subject in primary schools built and BS 2049 secondary schools in Nepal. To have a comprehensive school health curriculum with sophisticated qualified health educators are needed to promote school health in Nepal, and provide knowledge to students of Nepal “health-related attitudes and practices and have an impact on their daily lives.

The following Comprehensive School Health Education Model (Figure 6), modified based on existing models of school health education. Six components are included in this proposed model . They are the school health education, school physical education, nutrition services, health clinics, healthy school environment, and parent / community involvement. An overview of the contents, buildings, and grades each component follows.

Health Education: School health education

is a statement of expected health and sequence for grades 1 to 12, addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual and environmental health. education is integrated as a series of categorical health problems and issues at the appropriate ages for development. The school health programs education should focus not only on improving students’ knowledge, but also emphasizing the development of skills and positive attitudes towards health and healthy lifestyles. The school health education programs should place greater emphasis on the following areas

personal hygiene

Prevention and control of diseases (infectious and chronic)

injury prevention and safety

Nutrition

snuff prevention

Foreign

, sexuality and family planning

physically active lifestyles

mental and emotional health

Environmental Health

positive attitudes towards life and full of life

The school health education programs should have the flexibility to incorporate health problems locally or regionally, as necessary. Teaching health should be applied by qualified, educated and certified health educators.To have a dynamic curriculum, it is important that the programs evaluated by the regional government and school administrators so they could be routinely reviewed and improved.

Physical education: physical education in schools is

degree planned, sequential 1-12 curriculum that provides cognitive content and learning experiences in a variety of business areas, such as basic motor skills, physical fitness, rhythms and dances, games, equipment, dual and individual sports, gymnastics, gymnastics and water sports. school physical education should promote, through a variety of planned physical activities, each student optimal physical, mental, emotional and social development. The school physical education activities should also promote enjoyable, lifelong physical and improve social and physical environments that encourage and enable physical activity. Schools can develop after-school physical activity programs that meet the needs and interests of students and involving parents and guardians in physical activity instruction and programs for youth. Schools should hire qualified teachers trained to teach physical education. Schools must have a regular evaluation of physical activity instruction, programs and facilities.

Nutrition Services: Cooperate with educators

health, nutrition staff to service the school must take the opportunity to promote food healthy for students. The ultimate purpose of nutrition services is to promote health, with emphasis on balanced and adequate nutrition habits. Nutrition services must provide students access to a variety of nutritious and appealing

meals to suit the needs of health and nutrition for all students. nutrition services in schools should offer students a learning laboratory for classroom nutrition and health education and serve as a resource for linkages with the family. Personal nutrition should serve as role models and promote personal hygiene for students. The director of nutrition services in schools should have educational and professional experience in nutrition programs and dietetics. The director should also provide regular education programs for the division of nutrition services.

Health Clinic:

There is comprehensive school health program would be complete without a health clinic . school health clinics should be staffed by qualified professionals including physicians, nurses, dentists, health educators and pharmacists. These health professionals must have expertise in the areas of school health and school-age children. The purpose of having the clinic is to assess, protect and promote the health of students. Such services shall ensure access and / or referral to health services. We also should focus on prevention and control of communicable diseases, as emergency care for illness or injury. The responsibilities of the health clinic, cooperation with school staff in promoting a school environment health and safety for students. The staff of the health clinic has an important responsibility the use of facilities for patient education and counseling to students to promote and sustain individual, family and community health.

healthy school environment: a healthy school environment

includes physical, psychosocial climate and culture of the school. school environment has a significant impact on the health and welfare of children of school age. In addition, the school environment influences the success of the curriculum on children’s cognitive development. Schools must provide an environment free of physical or chemical biological agents that are harmful to health. School administrators must provide and promote a healthy, positive environment where students feel safe and happy. Schools should encourage the school staff to follow a healthy lifestyle that contributes to general health programs coordinated school and create positive role models for students.

Parents / community / participation Staff:

school health programs could not run without staff and parental cooperation and participation. Parents, community leaders and teachers often can be done and serve as role models for students. Students serve as a link with the school and family, while parents can and should cooperate with schools to help their children. school health program could impact parents’ knowledge, attitudes and practices healthy lifestyles. Through newsletters, correspondence, meetings and volunteer work, schools and parents in a cooperative way, and collaboration can and must significantly affect the health and welfare of students.

six components in the model of the Comprehensive School Health should reflect the six aspects of a health program at the school of contemporary China. Coordination of these six components could be complementary if not synergistic, effects. The six components of need to “work” together as a whole to cope with a health behavior or health problem, although each of the six components has its own content, construction and qualifications in the field. Further studies are needed to provide evidence empirical efficacy and acceptability of the proposed model.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

Professional

in the field of health education believe in the power of education and its potential impact on one of the health behavior. While the leading causes of death are closely linked to unhealthy behavior, health professionals see the promise through prevention. However, there are in the promise through rose-colored glasses. In

Contrary

recognize the coexistence of the challenges and opportunities. Unhealthy behaviors of adults are usually planted in childhood. Since the Most children go to school, no better place than schools to provide health knowledge and skills. Researchers have shown that the most effective school programs for health education are the following whole school models of health programs, information theory, sequentially designed from kindergarten through grade 12, and family and community.

This article suggests a comprehensive school health model, which operates under the assumption that the system could work in Nepal.

Some states also are protesting the efforts of legislation to establish minimum standards for health insurance coverage across the country will “reward” low-performing states, to the detriment of others who expanded eligibility for Medicaid, the federal-state program for the poor which is the nation’s largest health insurance program that covers 60 million low-income Americans with disabilities.

“There is a reform to push more costs onto states that are already struggling, while others are receiving offers of love,” said California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, one of the few Republican elected officials have publicly supported the president’s health reform efforts of care in his State of the State address earlier this month.

Schwarzenegger cost figures from the California legislation, which had already expanded its network security, an additional one billion of millions of dollars each year. At the same time, the state is trying to close a deficit of one billion in its current budget, after connecting millions of dollars in deficit during the past year.

“Health Reform, initiated the legislation as necessary and noble, has become a channel for bribes, deals and loopholes,” the action star who became governor who in the final year of his mandate.

Tennessee Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) said he was “‘moderately outraged” States may receive inconsistent treatment in the project, the Nashville Business Journal. Bredesen, a health care executive earlier estimated that the Medicaid expansion could cost as much as to its 0.2 million dollars over five years at a time when the state is looking for a hole 0.5 billion budget.

Riling political parties are the offers of mediation in Congress to ensure passage of the bill in the Senate. Nebraska, for example, promised that the federal government would pick up the total cost of the expansion of Medicaid, even beyond the first years of implementation, while Louisiana was assured an extra 0,000,000 in funds Medicaid.

Alabama Governor Bob Riley (R) said that the agreement of Nebraska “smacks to me of legalized bribery,” according to Montgomery (Alabama) Advertiser, while the attorneys general in more than a dozen states have threatened to sue, arguing that preferential treatment is unconstitutional.

and Republican Nevada Governor Jim Gibbons also pledged to sue the federal government to stop the health care plan if it becomes law, calling it “misguided” and “illegal” .

Meanwhile, the U.S. Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson (D), a former governor, January 07 announced it is working with Senate leaders to change the health reform legislation pending to give all states pledged additional funding for Medicaid in Nebraska bill of health. “Every state must be and will be treated the same,” he said.

If and when President Obama to sign a bill, the onus is on the 50 states to implement changes to make health coverage more affordable and more accessible to many of the 45 million Americans currently uninsured. In the House and Senate passed versions of last year, at least 15 million could be added to the Medicaid rolls.

In addition to expanding the Medicaid rolls, states also would be involved in helping other people without insurance who earn to qualify for Medicaid and do not receive insurance through work by creating “exchanges” or markets, which provides subsidized coverage to these individuals and small businesses. Under the Senate bill, states establish their own exchanges, while the House measure would create a federal exchange, but allow states to establish their own -. A major unresolved difference

Congress Budget Office estimates a price of reference for health care reform over the next nine years in billion under the Senate bill and billions of dollars in House measure. The big question for states is the amount of charge will be passed to them. Costs to individual states can vary widely. How much depends on wealth is a state, the number of additional residents will add to state programs, funding formulas that ultimately, Congress passed and if the congressional delegation from a State makes a lucrative deal.

All this comes as states try to weather reduced revenues and increased demand for its services in lean budget years in a generation. States have closed the gap of 0000 million since 2008 to 2010 and facing a deficit of at least one billion for fiscal 2011, according to estimates by the National Conference of State Legislatures. Overall, the states and the federal government spent more than $ 5 million in Medicaid in 2007 and costs are rising.

state legislators more than a dozen are pushing legislation that would allow their states to opt out of federal health care reform, arguing that a key principle of health care reform – to require people to buy health insurance or face a penalty – is unconstitutional. The campaign is led by the American Legislative Exchange Council, which advocates limited government. Arizona lawmakers approved a measure to do just that, but the first voters have to pass this November. A similar ballot measure was defeated in Arizona in 2008.

attack Governors’ reform in the state of state addresses

Schwarzenegger was not the only Republican governor to use state of the year state address this month to explosion of federal health legislation that Democrats had hoped to offer Obama at the time of state for President of the Union, usually delivered in late January or early February.

“Washington alleged solution will cost Arizona another half-billion dollars each year,” said Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, whose state is still grappling with a deficit of 0.4 billion for fiscal year ongoing. “Only in Washington can see major federal aid programs bleed red ink – and propose a new entitlement program further,” he said in his State of the State address.

In Idaho, Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter considers that the legislation to add as much as half a billion dollars in Medicaid costs there. “People such unprecedented growth here at home we are forced to make decisions even more difficult and painful than being cut from public schools, higher education, corrections, public safety and other essential services,” said during his annual address.

Governors of both parties began expressing concern about the costs of federal reforms might have on the states since last summer, but the Republican governors have been the most vocal. Twenty Republican governors and governors-elect recently wrote in a letter to Congress that the current legislation “fails to taxpayers and saddles reform of America for future generations”, while Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, chairman of the Republican Governors Association , said in a statement that health care reform legislation “would have a catastrophic impact on state budgets.”

radical changes, costs

that was created in 1965, Medicaid was designed for the uninsured poor, but not all poor people were eligible. The program targeted low-income pregnant women, uninsured children and low-income elderly, blind and disabled, and some parents of low-income families. States were left to determine how adults working poor qualify for Medicaid, but adults without children were left out completely, even if it were a penny, unless a state has a waiver from Washington to cover.

Under both the House and Senate versions of the legislation, all states are required for the first time in the history of Medicaid to provide coverage to childless adults, parents and other people with incomes below a certain level. The limits are calculated using the baseline to the federal poverty level, income in the U.S., which are 830 for one person, for example, or 050 for a family of four in 2009.

In the House bill, all families of four earning up to, 075, or 150 percent of federal poverty level, you can now qualify for coverage, while the Senate put in the level, 300 for families of four (133 percent of poverty)

a dozen states, including New York, which already cover parents who work at these levels and some more, but other states cut Medicaid eligibility in income much lower -. for example, Texas, 27 percent of federal poverty level. Arkansas offers coverage only to those whose incomes are up 17 percent of federal poverty level, or about, 750. These states with lower cut-offs will have many new people will be eligible for Medicaid rolls in their states, under new legislation.

“The big change will be health care reform if it does happen to change eligibility” of a system that varies among the states to “a national standard of eligibility for adults and children alike, based solely on revenue, “said Diane Rowland, executive director of the Commission, nonprofit Kaiser Family Foundation on Medicaid and the Uninsured.

“We are looking for real health reform to level the field, especially for adults,” he told a recent roundtable with the press. The commission has a side by side comparison of key provisions of the House and Senate, current levels of Medicaid eligibility for low-income adults, background information on the expansion of Medicaid and state by state health data . Washington

share of spending state Medicaid changes, and will continue even after the health reform takes place. In general, the richest in the state, less is achieved, as the federal party is based on the average per capita income states.

California and New York, for example, typically receive the minimum 50 percent rate for federal, while Arkansas, Mississippi and West Virginia more than 70 percent. (The stimulus package temporarily increased the rates of all states to “game until the end of this year.)

Under the reform measures, the federal government to collect most of the tab covers people who became new right for Medicaid. The proposal of the House of Representatives to pay off Medicaid expansion until 2015 when the states then provide 10 percent of the cost of adding this new group for their rolls. The Senate bill is more complicated, but generally, estimates of the Congressional Budget Office that the federal government would pay 90 percent of the costs to bring the new requirements on state Medicaid rolls .

cry generous states lack

However, many states for years have gone further and provided benefits to more people worry that Medicaid will remain under the Senate bill.

The problem, they say most generous states, is that many people in their states who are already eligible for Medicaid are not enrolled. Even if these people sign up after the health reform becomes law, will not be considered “new requirements”, and states that follow to obtain reimbursement of their current rates, a minor party, not the higher rates that the federal government pay for the newly eligible .

Schwarzenegger said California is being penalized by the expansion of its network security and has withdrawn its support for the bill. In the House and Senate versions, Schwarzenegger said the federal government assume almost the entire cost of such states as Texas, California, while he would pay half the cost of covering newly eligible Californians. “Therefore, states did little or no effort to expand coverage to low- incomes are rewarded … and states that expanded coverage, such as California, are punished, “he wrote recently.

New York Gov. David Paterson (D) is also concerned about their status economically beaten for extending Medicaid and the Parents who make 150 percent of poverty level. New York is also one of the five states that currently provide Medicaid coverage comparable to that of adults without children who make 100 percent of poverty level.

“In exchange for the commitment of New York at the beginning of coverage, [the Senate bill] New York denies federal funds spread to almost every other state in the nation,” he wrote in the letter to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) leaders of the Senate. Paterson said the numbers of the bill to add an additional one billion a year in new spending for Medicaid. New York faces a gap of 0, 2 billion budget in its current budget, even after raising more than one billion in new taxes and fees last year.

The Senate bill cuts coincide special funding levels Massachusetts Vermont, both in 2006 launched major initiatives to reform health care and could not qualify for additional federal funds under the formula of the law. The governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick (D) said in a statement he was grateful that “the progress Massachusetts has made and is recognized and protected” in the Senate bill and that he was “encouraged that the nation as a whole is moving towards our model.”

No But even the states that will receive a generous amount of federal funding is concerned, above all state Medicaid directors to be in the forefront. Alabama Medicaid Commissioner Carol Steckel said the reform, states would have to track the newly separately eligible because the federal government would pay a larger party for new members. States also have to process these new applications.

Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Russell said the decision to sign an agreement with Region IV Mental Health Services is a step in the right direction .

“We do not want to belittle Communicare,” said Russell. “Communicare did what they could do. These people (Region IV) are a couple of steps further.”

Russell of the new company will offer a “revolutionary concept” to the mental health of hundreds of DeSoto Countians today at the same cost with Communicare, which is about 0000 per year.

“He’s a very big deal,” said Russell.

DeSoto County is currently one of the region in the Region II Mental Health as assigned by the Mississippi Department of Mental Health. Although the county is not contiguous counties of northeast Mississippi Prentiss, Tippah, Tishomingo and Alcorn, DeSoto and all other 81 counties in Mississippi can direct their resources to the region in which they wish to belong.

Communicare, based in Oxford, has been under contract with DeSoto County to provide mental health assessments for inmates DeSoto County Jail, juvenile offenders, individuals in an ordered program drug court and those who suffer from substance abuse for the past 15 years.

Russell said that Region IV will be able to help provide much needed follow-up care of hundreds of people who are not adequately taking care of their mental health needs met.

According to Russell, mental health care of inmates housed in the DeSoto County Jail will also be provided in a more accessible and, for the first time social workers will be placed around the school system to help meet the needs of mental health care of young adolescent offenders.

DeSoto County Administrator Michael Garriga said the decision not to renew the contract of Communicare was not easy.

“I think what we have discovered is that the Region IV offers a progressive series of services,” said Garriga. “Usually what we have here in DeSoto County is outpatient treatment in general. We have become so great that we have so many special needs now.”

Garriga said the lack of resources by Communicare not allow adequate follow-up care.
