The mission of the Parish School of Religion (PSR) is to provide programs that enable the family to journey in faith by coming to a deeper understanding of the message of Christ, by experiencing a Christian Community and by guiding them to worship, to pray, and to serve others. PSR is a community based postion, no office (unless your car counts--I havent used my trunk for purposes other than hauling around 'PSR' tools for 2 years now-ha!). We work in the homes or take them out into the community to work. Libraries, malls, Barnes and Noble, coffee shops, parks--you get the idea.
A treatment for removing abnormal skin pigmentation, fine lines, acne scarring, and abnormal skin texture, in which ionized gas (the “plasma”) is used to remove superficial or deeper skin layers. Nitrogen gas is typically stripped of its electrons, and then applied to the skin as a spray. This heats the dermis (the layer of skin beneath the epidermis). The epidermal layer peels off a few days after treatment, while new collagen grows within the dermis, giving the skin a smoother appearance.
PSR is an alternative to laser skin resurfacing.
The Clubhouse model of psychosocial rehabilitation is a model that helps people with a history of serious mental illness rejoin society and maintain their place in it; it builds on people's strengths and provides mutual support, along with professional staff support, for people to receive prevocational work training, educational opportunities, and social support. Its validity is moderated and approved by the.
The model has its roots in a support group formed in 1943 inside in New York; when people were discharged they met in New York City, and eventually formalized their group in a house in Manhattan that was called 'Fountain House'. The group hired professional staff for the first time in 1955; together staff and members created a set of day programs that, along with the member-centered approach, became the model for other clubhouses.: 215 There is an international clubhouse network, to which member clubs pay dues and which provides accreditation; standards were developed in 1989 and accreditation began in 1992. Contents. History The clubhouse model has its roots in a support group formed in 1943 inside in New York; when people were discharged they met in New York City, initially on the steps of the to continue supporting each other. The group called itself We Are Not Alone (WANA). With the help of volunteers, the group was able to buy a on in Manhattan, which had a fountain; in 1948, when the group formed a non-profit, it named itself 'Fountain House'.
Elizabeth Schermerhorn helped raise the funds to buy the house and set up a foundation to support the group.: 215 In 1955, when the organization first hired professional staff, John Beard, a pioneer in from Detroit, was hired as director and formalized many of the program, but keeping the focus on the community as a source of mutual support for members. One of the key programs instituted at the time was a prevocational work-readiness program, which placed people in temporary part-time jobs to help them prepare to find permanent work.
Fountain House was the first program of its kind. The model was spread across the US and eventually internationally starting in the 1950s, led largely by the.: 220 The model spread further with funding from the National Institute of Mental Health in 1977 for the National Clubhouse Training Program. In 1999, film maker directed a short performance piece to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Fountain House organisation in New York City. A block of the city was closed down, and portraits of Fountainhouse members by photographer Charlie Gross were projected onto buildings from windows. Saxophonists then descended from different, each playing compositions by Briggan Krauss.
Model Membership in a club is open to anyone with a serious mental illness, is voluntary, and never expires. In contrast to traditional models, Clubhouse participants are called 'members' (as opposed to 'patients' or 'clients') and restorative activities focus on their strengths and abilities, not their illness. Clubs are community based, and strive to help members join and remain part of society, with educational, prevocational, health, and mental health support. Members and staff work together to run structure day programs that follow the workday of the community where a given club is located. Programs are based on assumption that people have individual strengths that can be built on and that meaningful relationships and work are the essential; members have the right to choose staff to work with and the kind of work they do. There is an international clubhouse network, to which member clubs pay dues and which provides accreditation; standards were developed in 1989 and accreditation began in 1992.
Effectiveness A review of research on the effectiveness of the clubhouse model in helping people, found that evidence based was limited by lack of randomized controlled trials, wide differences in the kinds of outcomes that were studied, and by lack of long-term follow-up; these limitations make it difficult to generalize the results. Outcomes that have been measured include time to find fulltime employment, earnings, and workplace integration; life satisfaction; psychiatric hospitalization; social integration; educational attainments, and physical health. It appears as though clubhouse participation helps people avoid psychiatric hospitalization, improves quality of life, and may improve social integration; other outcomes were unclear. A 2016 review came to similar conclusions.
