The healing hands health rights campaign is an initiative by ANTaR which was launched in February 2004. The campaign itself is an effective way of promoting health as a fundamental human right issue, raising awareness of political will and promoting the need for a change in policy so that resources are allocated on the basis of indigenous health. The development of the campaign and the various tactics employed have enabled the issues of indigenous health rights to come to light as a serious matter amongst the general public, political parties, organisations, media etc. The campaign and the information kits readily available are a practical way of promoting the

The article I chose to review is Research Opportunities in the Area of Mental Health Promotion, Prevention, and Intervention for Children and Youth. I first found this article through AJOT and I realized I had been given this issue through a family friend, so I referred to it from then on. This AJOT issue was from September/October of 2014. After reading through the article, I realized that there was an additional article with further information. There was a systematic review that occurred before the actual evidence based practice research. There is also a book available through AOTA called Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines for Mental Health Promotion, Prevention, and Intervention for Children & Youth that can also be referred too.

The goal in for the foundations staff, counselor and social work is to identify barriers that are affecting the clients served at the organization form reaching their fullest potential. In the counseling center, the LCSW’s main goal is to support clients in recognizing psychosocial stressors that are impacting their individual and family life. There are many children served in the counseling center who are currently experiencing trauma or have experienced trauma in the past and need help addressing these issues, and receiving tools to help them function better in their daily lives. In the case of Milagros, she came to the counseling center at the request of her mother, Maria, due to issues with parent-child relationship conflict, behavior concerns, and anxiety issues. The therapist and clients worked together on areas that they needed to address in future counseling session and the intervention plan was developed. The LCSW generally utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), 1-2-3 Magic, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Family Behavior Therapy (FBT) to help clients in therapeutic counseling sessions. In this intervention paper, PCIT is the chosen intervention used in therapy sessions with Milagros and Maria.

The overview of this article is postpartum depression in rural Unites States communities. Researchers search to find the causes and effects of postpartum depression in rural US communities. There are many reasons this is a problem because it not only effects women but it effects children, the family unit as a whole, communities and many other areas as well.

Social relationships, partnership dynamics, finances and responsibilities are changing. The uncertainties surrounding this unique role change can result in increased stress and anxiety (Hanley, 2015). Brunton et al. (2011) found that most women expressed worry in relation to labour and birth, coping in the postnatal period and fear about body changes. Clark et al.
