According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) affects anywhere from 11 to 30% of veterans, depending on the conflict they were involved with. For example, 11 to 20% of veterans who participated in Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom have been diagnosed with PTSD compared to 30% of Vietnam veterans. But these statistics only tell part of the story. First, they link PTSD to combat, but non-combat PTSD is very common in veterans. They also fail to represent those who may not even realize that they have PTSD—or those who suspect they have it but fail to seek a diagnosis and treatment. So the question for you is, could you be suffering from PTSD without knowing it or getting the help that you need? If so, you're not alone. Too often, veterans suffer in silence in the abyss of PTSD.

It's been nation wide news for the last two weeks about the missing and now dead, 22 year old Gabby Petito.

Meet our new team members Akosua and LaChelle as we piece together a timeline of this true crime, discuss the mental health issues the case highlights and how there's been a lack of media attention towards the high number of missing Indigenous folks from the same region Gabby went missing in.

Welcome to the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast, episode 14 'Creating Opportunities & Changing Lives'.My guest in this week's episode is Mark Valli, CEO, Norwescap.  Norwescap is a 55 year old organization that provides services to those in need in Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren, counties in New Jersey.  You will hear early on in this conversation that Norwescap is a bit of a secret to some. Mark and his staff are doing all they can to let the communities that need their services know that they are there to support them. Norwescap is a comprehensive non-profit organization that addresses a wide portfolio of needs. There is focus on education, employment and job readiness, financial empowerment, healthy nutrition, housing and  community development, volunteerism and civic engagement. They are the food bank that provides food to three counties. About 2.5 million pounds of food went out this past year.  Approximately 130,000 people have been fed through Norwescap and their partners.  Another number that stunned me during the interview was that they have invested over $400,000 to keep businesses in their area open. Another supportive service that they offer is tax filing. They saved clients over $3M last year. Their staff is made up of 270+ people and the organization has a budget of over $17M.  COVID impacted every operational part of Norwescap. During COVID the organization had to make a significant shift sooner than they had anticipated.  Mark describes in some detail how programs shifted, and not just shifted, but how people from one program helped others in another program. The real true coming together of the community.  The stories he shares takes flexibility within a framework to the next level.  One of the services they created for those in need was the opportunity for people to go to the Norwescap website - https://norwescap.org and click a red button that says Get Help Now. An engagement partner will reach out to the person in need within 48 hours or sooner. There are 50 staff people trained on how to handle those requests. This is a huge supportive service to those who are in immediate need. After hearing Mark speak about his team, I would say he is a servant leader. He cares about how his staff connects to the organization's mission, how they feel about the work they do, and that they have fun and connect with each other. They have partner awards where staff nominate each other. Really showcases and promotes team building. In 2007 Mark was named in NJ BIZ 40 under 40 list. He had a prop in the video  that will be shown on the Today is the Day Changemakers YouTube channel of him holding his guitar in the article that was printed about the award. Mark was in a band for several years. He still loves to pick up the guitar and play, but now he does that in his home and plays along to the songs on his Alexa. He says there are management lessons learned from playing in a bandIn the staff meetings he held during the height of the pandemic he started and ended his Zoom meetings with music. He says it changed the feel and dynamic of the meetings, and really kept the staff feeling inspired and connected. Before the pandemic he explains that they would have music going during their yearly all-staff meeting.Take a listen to Marks answer to, 'what do you know now that you wish you knew then'. Thank you so much to Mark for sharing the incredible work that Norwescap provides to the communities that they serve. Congratulations to him and his entire team for all they do each and every day to make a difference. You are all changemakers!

Gun violence has taken an enormous toll on the LGBTQ community. According to CDC data, nearly two-thirds of firearm deaths in the U.S. are suicides. For those using a gun, 90 percent of suicide attempts are fatal, and data shows that this has particular impact for the transgender and adolescent members of the LGBTQ community. According to the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey, 40% of transgender people report having attempted suicide in their lifetime, nearly nine times the national average. Furthermore, one-third of LGBTQ youth report having contemplated suicide, nearly three times the national average.To discuss the risk firearms and suicide play to LGBTQ youth, host JJ is joined by Kelly Sampson, legal counsel at Brady, and Casey Pick, Esq.

In this episode you will hear: (04:53) In this week’s news, an article from Wall Street Journal, “Survive College Application Season with the Family in One Piece” by Sue Shellenbarger. Many parents take total control of their kid’s application process believing that it’s too important for it to be a learning experience for their kids. Shellenbarger argues that though there is a role for the parent to play, students are usually most satisfied when they own the outcome. She goes on to share 14 recommendations for parents when their kids are applying to college.   (17:54) We are in Chapter 84 of 171 Answers and we’re talking about honors colleges and how students can benefit from them. We also share the difference between an Honors program and an Honors College. We discuss the fact that all Honors Colleges and programs are not equal. We suggest some questions to ask to assess how strong the Honors College is. We rely heavily on the exceptional research completed by John Willingham and his excellent website: This website has already been one of our recommended resources in the past. Mark shares a couple questions that he really likes that John Willingham recommends in an article he wrote entitled:   (32:37) This week’s question is from Gus in Massachusetts and he asks, what there is to know about Canadian schools. Mark’s only brother and his only sister went to a Canadian university. Mark takes a real deep dive into the pros and cons of Canadian universities. He shares about ten cons of going to a Canadian school and ten pros of going to a Canadian university. (55:10) Mark’s interview is with Dave Wagner, Director of Admissions of St. Olaf, in Part III of “Understanding the 7 Sections of the Common Application”. In Part 3 of 4, Dave talks about his favorite section of the Common App, Section 6, the writing section Dave talks about the Institution specific questions that St. Olaf asks and he shares how they help the admission office We briefly talk about part 7, Courses and Grades, but most schools don’t use this section, including St. Olaf so Mark makes a comment and then we move on. Finally, Dave answers a tough question, if a student has choice between doing the Coalition or the Common App, how should they decide which application to complete. (01:01:15) Mark’s recommended resource of the week: http://www.ulifeline.org The motto of this website is, “your online resource for college mental health. Their self-evaluator tab screens for thirteen of the most common mental health conditions. The search bar lets you put in any college and it tells you where to go for mental health counseling on each campus. Three other tabs I love on this website are their “Help a friend” tab, their “The Facts” tab and their “Get Help Now” button. This completes our 10th and final (for 2019) recommended resource related to mental health that we have recommended in the last three months. (1:11:33) Our College Spotlight for the week is Elon University (NC)   At the very end of the podcast, Mark takes a look at Elon University. One thing that is a hallmark of an Elon education is Elon Experiences: Elon.edu/u/experimental-learning Anika was very impressed with Elon Experiences. Mark discusses exactly what this is but he also takes almost 10 minutes to help the listener better understand other key features about this excellent university.

N is for National Coalition for Sexual Freedom   Hi everyone!  Welcome to the A to Z of Sex.  I'm Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and I am your host.  We are working our way through the erotic alphabet one letter at a time.  Just a reminder this podcast deals with adult content, so if you don't have total privacy, you might want to put on your headphones.  Today the letter is N and N is for National Coalition for Sexual Freedom.     The National coalition for sexual freedom Mission Statement is:  The NCSF is committed to creating a political, legal and social environment in the US that advances equal rights for consenting adults who engage in alternative sexual and relationship expressions.  The NCSF aims to advance the rights of, and advocate for consenting adults in the BDSM-Leather-Fetish, Swing, and Polyamory Communities.  We pursue our vision through direct services, education, advocacy, and outreach, in conjunction with our partners, to directly benefit these communities.   Joining me to talk about the NCSF and other topics is D Choc Trei Henderson.  She is Ms Southeast Leatherfest 2018 and a director/southeast regional coalition partner lead for the NCSF.  She is executive producer of the first inaugural Southeast Consent Summit.  Choc is 2019 president of Leather Houses of |Color Coalition and was recently conferred as one of the newest directors for the Leather Archives and Museum.

If you engage in BDSM, fetishes or non-monogamy practices, and you are being persecuted or discriminated against because of it, please contact NCSF through the Get Help Now. If you need help removing kink or non-monogamy as a barrier to public services, please contact NCSF. If your group or business needs help with outreach to local officials, please contact NCSF.If you or your group needs help with a consent violation or sexual assault, please contact NCSF.   GET HELP NOW! The issue must openly, directly, and specifically relate to BDSM, swing or poly activities between consenting adults; in other words, the problems you face must relate to or be caused from your involvement in BDSM, swing or poly.  NCSF is not legal aid, nor do we offer specific legal advice for individuals. NCSF is a resource for the members of the kink, poly and Lifestyle communities and for people seeking information about them. NCSF provides publicly available information on kink and nonmonogamy for consenting adults.      They have produced the Kink Aware Professionals list which includes listings for mental health professionals, medical doctors, legal professionals, accountants who are aware of kink, alternative lifestyles as well as gender and sexual diversity and who can provide services without a negative bias.   They produce the consent counts program. The Consent Counts project involves the BDSM communities in a nationwide education and activism program coordinated and led by the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom.  This multifaceted campaign includes a comprehensive is analysis of current laws and court decisions, the development of legal arguments for changing the laws, participating in court cases, and ultimately, through lobbying, education and grass-roots activism, changing state laws and the way the public and the courts view BDSM.  An important element of the project also includes an Educational Outreach Program (EOP) to educate our own communities of the current state of the law, of the effort NCSF is undertaking and to involve them in our strategic planning process and development of “best practices” by which we can...

Today we’re talking about finding hope when there is no reason to have any.  I know this can be a daunting issue, but today we’re going to break down some vocabulary so it’s a lot less scary.  I will be sharing my story with you and my hope is that it becomes a beacon of hope for someone out there. There’s no better way to find hope and healing then right now where you are. In later episodes we’re going to interview other people affected by all forms of bullying and receive hope from their resiliency.  We’re going to hear from their champions, those who have been bullied and the various experts around the country providing hope and healing to the bullied, their champions, the bullies themselves and the silent witnesses who stood by and did nothing. This isn’t any run of the mill podcast.  You aren’t going to take pages of notes and fill out your to do list.  Rather, my hope is to touch your heart and make an impact on how you approach your future life and those that you love. In order to do that, first, I’m going to share with you why I started this podcast and my story.  Then I’ll show you where to find local resources in your community and get you on the path for healing. My hope, my prayer, is that if you are a parent, a sister, brother, best friend, husband or wife that you will stay tuned into this message.  The modern world we live in is changing faster then we humans can adapt.  This doesn’t make us any safer.  We humans need to equip ourselves to champion the ones we love, especially in the very moment they can’t protect themselves, even if we don’t know how.   o o o I wish I was sitting at the table right across from you so I can see the look in your eye.  Is there recognition to my story?  Fear?  Bewilderment?  Or did I just hit too close to home?  The one thing that stinks about podcasts is I can’t see your beautiful eyes and know how you are. Please don’t leave me wondering, reach out to me and send me an email at speakup at savelori dot org that’s lori l-o-r-i Once again that email address is speak up at save lori dot org Put Episode Zero in your subject line so I know it’s you! I’m going to confess, this episode was really hard for me to share.  But it’s in no comparison to the pain you may be in if you are in trauma right now. One of the first books I read on the Socipoathic disorder is called “The Sociopath Next Door” by Martha Stout.  I got it on Amazon and the link to it is in the show notes.  That book was actually referenced in the first book I read called “Sociopath and psychopath: The Worst of Both Worlds” by Ken Fisher.  Also available on Amazon and linked in the show notes. Before you judge and snub your nose at the mere mention of the word sociopath, I want to clarify something for you.  This is going to be hard for you to swallow because you are an American, as it was for me when I first learned about it. First 3% of all NORMAL American adults are sociopaths.  That’s TWICE the world average. They are everywhere and can be anyone.  The bad news is that we Americans love them!  More about why on our website with a link to Psychology Today. Second, sociopaths fall on the mental health spectrum between narcissists and psychopaths.  Sociopaths and psychopaths both biologically lack what the rest of us humans have – a conscience. I know it’s extremely hard to believe life without that little Jiminy Cricket on our shoulder telling us what’s right and wrong.  But there it is!! They just don’t have it!  They really don’t know the difference between right and wrong and a lie and a truth.  For that reason alone they can pass a lie detector test and get away with theft, murder and other bad things.  And have.
