Crime Scene Clean Up Company Donates Profit to Public Charity

Crime Scene Clean Up Company Donates Profit to Public Charity

Michael J. Tillman, founder of Amdecon®, a crime and trauma scene clean-up company, announced today that he is donating all profits from Amdecon to the Suicide Aftercare Association™.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) February 26, 2009-- Michael J. Tillman, CSHO, founder of Amdecon and a leader and master instructor in the crime and trauma scene biorecovery decontamination industry, announced today that all profits from Amdecon services and training will be donated to the Suicide Aftercare Association to assist grieving families after a suicide.

The Suicide Aftercare Association is a Philadelphia-based, 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Public Charity whose purpose is to provide no-charge postvention services, including biohazardous scene cleaning, primary crisis support, and general aid in the aftermath of a suicide attempt or completion.

Michael Tillman says he founded the association because directly after a suicide or suicide attempt the family is left to deal with the aftermath, including cleaning the attempt or completion scene. According to Mr. Tillman, "Many times the scene is gruesome and leaving this clean up to the family is reprehensible and inhumane." Mr. Tillman believes that there is a societal obligation to help all families during this devastating time. There is no charge to the family.

Suicide remains a public health crisis that results in over $25 billion each year in direct costs. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimate that in 1 day: 2225 people will attempt suicide, 89 people will die by suicide, 3.7 people will die by suicide in the next hour, and 1 person will attempt suicide every 16 minutes.

For additional information on Michael J. Tillman, Amdecon, and the Suicide Aftercare Association, contact Michael J. Tillman, or visit http://amdecon.com and http://www.suicideaftercare.org.

Attorney Irwin Zalkin on Archbishop Timothy Dolan: Friend or Foe of Sex Abuse Victims?

Attorney Irwin Zalkin on Archbishop Timothy Dolan: Friend or Foe of Sex Abuse Victims?

Attorney Irwin Zalkin shares opinions of Archbishop Timothy Dolan and whether he will be a friend or foe of sex abuse victims.

New York, NY (PRWEB) February 27, 2009 -- The city is abuzz over Archbishop Timothy Dolan, the newly appointed Archbishop of the New York Archdiocese. In particular, concerns have been raised over how Dolan will treat victims of sexual abuse.

Attorney Irwin Zalkin has secured settlements in excess of $200 million dollars representing hundreds of victims of childhood sexual abuse against various Catholic Diocese and institutions around the country, including victims of the Milwaukee Archdiocese, Dolan's previous post. Just recently, Zalkin negotiated with Archbishop Dolan to successfully settle the case of an abuse victim of Father Siegfried Widera, a notorious serial pedophile who, after allegations of abuse were made against him, was transferred by the Milwaukee Diocese to the California Diocese where he proceeded to abuse at least another 10 victims.

Zalkin offers these insights about Archbishop Dolan:

"As the new Archbishop of New York - an obviously high-profile and coveted position in the Catholic Church - Archbishop Dolan will not be able to escape the intense local and national scrutiny over his treatment of sexual abuse victims."

"Although Archbishop Dolan has publicly expressed his resentment of sexual predator clergy, in reality he has not been particularly helpful or understanding of victims. In our client's case and many others we are familiar with, rather than reach out to victims, Archbishop Dolan and his lawyers raised every legal technical defense and sought to avoid compensating victims for the terrible harm done."

"While the jury is still out, I fear that for victims, nothing will change."

With offices in New York and San Diego, The Zalkin Law Firm (www.nyclergyabuse.com) is one of the premier sexual abuse and personal injury law firms in the country. The firm's lawyers have achieved groundbreaking results in numerous high-profile clergy abuse cases across the United States.

Mr. Zalkin is available to speak to the media about Archbishop Dolan and clergy sexual abuse. Please call Alexandra Jospin (212-763-8582) to arrange interviews. To speak to Mr. Zalkin about legal representation, please call The Zalkin Law Firm at 212-889-1300.

Align International Recruitment - Thinking of Working in New Zealand? A Positive Move in Troubled Times

Align International Recruitment - Thinking of Working in New Zealand? A Positive Move in Troubled Times

The advantage of using Align Recruitment to apply for work in New Zealand is simple - service. Applying for a new position can be a big challenge at the best of times, add to this the prospect of moving countries and there is a considerable amount of the unknown. Align Recruitment assists job seekers with New Zealand immigration, we have the contacts within the appropriate organizations to make the transfer as smooth as possible.

Christchurch, New Zealand (PRWEB) February 27, 2009 -- So, the global economy has tightened up - jobs are becoming harder to find, competition for available job openings is becoming more intense.

You may be considering a move offshore? Align International Recruitment Ltd (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/) is a boutique recruitment company that helps highly skilled people find work in New Zealand. In early 2009 Align Recruitment launched a new website to assist international job seekers find that 'dream job' and 'dream lifestyle'. in New Zealand.

What are the advantages of moving to New Zealand in the current climate?

Right now, off the back of a dip in New Zealand exports, the New Zealand dollar (NZD) is at a low against most major trading partners. In effect, this means that migrants arriving from (for example) the USA are buying homes at half the price over the same period three or four years ago when the dollar was much stronger. New Zealand has also weathered the start of the global downturn with remarkable resilience - thanks largely to a strong agricultural market and limited exposure to the events happening within the securities market. The recent New Zealand elections saw a right wing 'National' led government assume the reins placing particular emphasis on public spending and tax cuts to continue to stimulate the New Zealand economy.

Another major attraction to New Zealand is opportunity. New Zealand has a number of skill shortage areas as defined by the Department of Labour, in particular in Healthcare. You can visit the Align Recruitment website to browse Clinical Psychologist jobs (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/jobs/-/Clinical-Psychology.php), Physician jobs (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/jobs/-/Medical-Officer-Doctor-Physician.php), jobs for Nurses (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/jobs/-/Nursing.php), Physiotherapist vacancies and Occupational Therapist openings in different parts of New Zealand. But whilst healthcare is a major focus of Align Recruitment, we also like to hear from people in areas such as Project Management, .NET Development (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/jobs/-/.NET-Development.php), Embedded Software Development, Java Development, Testing Protocol Stacks and seeking related Software Engineering jobs (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/professions.php). There is good opportunity for the right people with the right skills in New Zealand.

New Zealand is a nation with a strong migrant tradition. There are many communities represented here with immigrants coming from the USA, the United Kingdom, Canada, Scandinavia and the Asian continent. A key attraction to New Zealand is the great lifestyle. With a land mass similar to the Untied Kingdom, California or Japan and a population hovering around 4 million - open space is abundant. People with a love of the great outdoors will be in their element with so many activities on offer - from hiking, heliskiing and trekking to cycling, kayaking and fishing all staples of the New Zealand lifestyle (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/lifestyle.html). And, for families - with positive government assistance schemes and a safe environment - this is a great country in which to raise children. New Zealand is a great place for the long-term, but also offers a great way to experience something different in a stable climate during the current turmoil.

The advantage of using Align Recruitment to apply for work in New Zealand is simple - service. Applying for a new position can be a big challenge at the best of times, add to this the prospect of moving countries and there is a considerable amount of the unknown. Align Recruitment assists job seekers with New Zealand immigration and have the contacts within the appropriate organizations to make the transfer as smooth as possible. They also help facilitate with the various New Zealand professional registration boards on behalf of their clients to move their applications along. When they help you find the job you want, Align Recruitment doesn't stop there - their welcome services (http://www.alignrecruitment.com/welcome.html) are designed to assist offshore or expatriate workers shift country and start enjoying the great quality of life New Zealand offers. Align Recruitment will provide information on the cost of living in New Zealand, the lifestyle, the 'Kiwi' way of doing things and also provide detailed tips on how best to prepare for an interview.

Align Recruitment was founded in 2002 by Larry Beck, an American expatriate who holds dual NZ and US citizenships. Prior to immigrating to New Zealand Larry had been working in recruitment in the USA. He says "When I came here I recognised that overseas job candidates looking to work in New Zealand needed more information, about the country, about the types of work, how best to interview for a position in New Zealand, insights into some of the Kiwi ways of doing things and they needed help with immigration. So, I set about launching Align International Recruitment Ltd to provide that information so that overseas job seekers could weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of immigrating to New Zealand and make the right choice for them."

Further Larry added, "We work closely with our applicants - even if there is not an immediate job opening we are always looking to hear from skilled professionals - we are constantly getting requests from employers to find that 'special person'."

North Bay, San Francisco, and East Bay children and teens, ages 6 to 17, who are coping with the death of a parent, loved one, or friend are invited to apply for Hospice By The Bay's 2nd annual grief support camp weekend, Camp Erin™ Oakland/Bay Area, which will be held August 21-23, 2009.

Larkspur, CA (Vocus) February 25, 2009 -- North Bay, San Francisco, and East Bay children and teens, ages 6 to 17, who are coping with the death of a parent, loved one, or friend are invited to apply for Hospice By The Bay (http://www.hospicebythebay.org/)'s 2nd annual grief support camp weekend, Camp Erin™ Oakland/Bay Area, which will be held August 21-23, 2009. Attendance is free of charge for campers, and includes accommodations, meals, traditional camp fun, and therapeutic activities. Transportation is provided to and from Marin County to Camp Erin at the beautiful CYO Retreat Center in the Sonoma County Redwoods.

Camper registration is limited, and preference will be given to first-time Camp Erin attendees. For information and an application, contact Hospice By The Bay at CampErin(at)hospicebythebay.org, or (415) 526-5699, ext. 8501. Download an application at the Camp Erin Oakland/Bay Area web site: www.hospicebythebay.org/Calendar/Events.html.

Along with recreational activities such as swimming, hiking, games, and campfires, campers will gain emotional support through therapeutic groups and activities led by professional counselors and an important sense of connection with other youngsters who are experiencing similar feelings of loss. As a previous Camp Erin participant said,

"It really helps to talk with other kids who have gone through a loss and understand how you feel. You don't feel so alone."

Campers will also have opportunities to express their feelings about the loss of their loved ones and learn ways to cope with their grief. A study by Ewalt & Perkins suggests that approximately 90 percent of youngsters will experience the loss of a family member or close friend before finishing high school. Research also indicates these children are at a much greater risk for depression, suicide, poverty, and substance abuse.

Hospice By The Bay (http://www.hospicebythebay.org/), a non-profit, regional hospice and palliative care organization, has long recognized that children need grief support different than that for adults. As part of its Youth Bereavement Program, which offers youth a full range of counseling services, Hospice hosted its first Youth Bereavement Camp in 2001.

Hospice hosts Camp Erin Oakland/Bay Area in partnership with The Moyer Foundation (http://www.moyerfoundation.org), which supplied partial grant funding for annual camps through 2018. The Seattle-based foundation was established by Major League All-Star pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen with a long-term goal of establishing 50 camps nationwide to support grieving children in cities with Major League Baseball teams. This year, 28 Camp Erin weekends will be held in 18 states. The foundation's Campaign for Kids is a national fundraising effort to continue to expand Camp Erin across the country.

The Oakland Athletics and A's third baseman Eric Chavez and his wife Alex are advocates for Camp Erin Oakland/Bay Area. Michael Crowley, Oakland Athletics President, says, "The Oakland A's organization is honored to be a part of The Moyer Foundation and its efforts to support grieving children through its Camp Erin efforts in the Bay Area, we would like to thank Jamie and Karen Moyer on their vision and dedication to such a worthy cause."

A co-sponsor of the 2009 Camp Erin is The CYO Retreat Center (http://www.cyocamp.org/retreatcenter/), a 216-acre facility in the redwoods, with a private lake, playing fields, two pools, and heated cabins. Hospice By The Bay requests that individuals and other businesses who wish to support Camp Erin through their tax-deductible financial or in-kind donations contact its Director of Development at (415) 526-5500 or donate online at www.hospicebythebay.org.

Hospice By The Bay, which serves Marin, San Francisco, Northern San Mateo, and Sonoma counties, is dedicated to providing the highest quality of end-of-life care to patients and their families regardless of their ability to pay. Hospice By The Bay also serves people whose lives have been affected by the loss of a loved one through its community grief support program.

Drug Rehab Mountainside Celebrates 11 Years of Providing Drug Addiction Treatment

Drug Rehab Mountainside Celebrates 11 Years of Providing Drug Addiction Treatment

Mountainside Drug Rehab in Canaan Connecticut celebrates 11 years of providing quality and effective drug addiction and alcohol treatment. Mountainside Drug Rehab is famous for its innovative drug addiction treatment program that is centered on compassion and individual treatment plans for each of its residents.

Canaan, CT (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- Mountainside Drug Rehab (www.mountainside.org/drug-rehab/) in Canaan Connecticut celebrates 11 years of providing quality and effective drug addiction treatment.

Located on 33 secluded acres at the base of a mountain in the foothills of the Berkshires, Mountainside Drug Rehab provides a serene environment for healing and recovery from drug addiction. In its 11 years of operations, more than 5,800 people have gone through the drug rehab program at Mountainside.

The founders at Mountainside Drug Rehab created an individual drug treatment model based not on the standardized criteria often imposed by managed care providers, but on traditional and non-traditional addiction treatment components that comprise a holistic treatment model that has been so widely successful that Mountainside was recognized by the White House in 2005 for its innovative and effective drug rehab program. The Mountainside Drug Rehab Model has been replicated by dozens of treatment centers across America and around the world - and while these treatment centers have been able to copy the service offerings of Mountainside Drug Rehab - many fall very short in their delivery and results, yet this does not stop them from charging more than eight times the rate charged by Mountainside Drug Rehab.

Built on compassion and driven by the thesis that no two people are identically alike, Mountainside tailors individual drug addiction treatment plans (www.mountainside.org/treatment.htm) for every person that enters Mountainside Drug Rehab. Taking variables into account such as substance abuse history, various psych-social criteria and addiction treatment goals and timeframes - addiction treatment plans are carefully designed, monitored and also changed when the goals change.

Drug Rehabs across America are faced with the challenge of providing effective and quality treatment. Mountainside Drug Rehab has met this challenge for the past eleven years and has renewed its commitment to provide compassionate and quality drug rehabilitation.

For more information on Mountainside Drug Rehab (www.mountainside.org) please visit our website or call us at 1-800-762-5433.

Paving the Way for Peace in the Middle East with Mind-Body Skills

Paving the Way for Peace in the Middle East with Mind-Body Skills

Truce talks are gridlocked, but this mission to provide trauma relief to both sides of the conflict goes forward. Dr. James S. Gordon and his international team plans a training of health and mental health professionals in both Israel and Gaza--the only program of its kind working in both Israel and Gaza. After arriving February 28th, 2009. With The Center for Mind-Body Medicine's groundbreaking model which teaches self-care techniques (such as meditation, guided imagery, biofeedback, and yoga, as well as self-expression in words, drawing, and movement, all in a supportive small group), Dr. Gordon and his team will help heal the wounds of war and bring relief to those suffering following the devastating siege on Gaza.

Washington, D.C., Tel Aviv, and Gaza (PRWEB) February 23, 2009 -- As truce talks drag on between Israel and Gaza, James S. Gordon, M.D., the distinguished psychiatrist who leads the Washington D.C.-based Center for Mind-Body Medicine (http://www.cmbm.org), will on March 4, 2009 lead an international team of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish mental health professionals into Gaza in a groundbreaking effort to relieve population-wide psychological trauma in that war-devastated Israeli-occupied territory. The team will arrive in Israel February 28, 2009 and make their way to a border crossing.

For the last seven years, Dr. Gordon and his CMBM team have been working intensively with the traumatized population in Gaza and Israel separately and jointly -- they are the only organization doing so. During this time, they've trained 300 Israeli professionals and 90 in Gaza to develop comprehensive, scientifically based programs that are effectively treating widespread post traumatic stress disorder, major depression, anxiety, violence, and despair.

CMBM's pioneering program, which recently received a research award from the US Department of Defense, combines such mind-body techniques as meditation, guided imagery, biofeedback, and yoga with self-expression in words, drawings, and movement in a supportive small group setting.

CMBM's program is a powerful force for peace for those living in Gaza. Before the recent Israeli invasion, CMBM's Gaza team, which has treated 15-20,000 children and adults, was providing up to 75 ten-week long mind-body groups every three months. In the aftermath of the devastation, the number of groups has tripled. The CMBM approach is currently also being offered to hundreds of families that lost members in the conflict, to orphaned children, mothers with 'failure to thrive' infants, and depressed, suicidal, and violent children and adults.

A wealth of data supports and informs CMBM's unique, highly effective model, which has been used to help traumatized populations in postwar Kosovo, post-Katrina New Orleans, as well as Israel and Gaza, and is now being implemented on an increasingly large scale with US military returning from Iraq and Afghanistan and their families.

As Dr. Gordon says, "The CMBM model is welcomed by people of all ages and races around the world because it is educational, non-stigmatizing, and demonstrably beneficial. It can be easily taught and can be used by all people of all ages on their own." Dr. Gordon describes this groundbreaking approach in his newest book Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven-Stage Journey Out of Depression (Penguin Press; June 2008).

The results of CMBM's program are astonishing. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) on the use of the model with war-traumatized children in Kosovo -- the first RCT of any intervention with war-traumatized children -- was published in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Psychiatry in 2008; it showed an 80% decrease in symptoms following 12 sessions of mind-body skills groups. Also, data collected on the first 500 children and 600 adults in the CMBM Gaza program revealed significant decreases in symptoms of PTSD and depression and anger and increased hopefulness in those who participated in CMBM groups, gains which were largely maintained even during the ongoing siege of Gaza at six months' follow-up.

After four days working with the CMBM faculty in Israel and visiting with people affected by the Palestinian shelling in Sderot and Ashkelon, Dr. Gordon and his team will enter Gaza. During the first several days, they will visit with some of the thousands who have sought out CMBM-trained counselors to help them deal with the loss of family members and friends. During the following five days, Dr. Gordon and his colleagues will supervise the 15-member CMBM Gaza leadership team as they prepare 150 more of the most committed mental health professionals, including school psychologists and school counselors, to offer CMBM's program to Gaza's devastated children and their families.

Journalists are invited to accompany Dr. Gordon as he meets with CMBM's Israeli staff prior to entering Gaza and visits Sderot, and as the team interviews individuals and families throughout Gaza. There will be opportunities for interviews with Dr. Gordon and his Palestinian leadership team, traumatized families who have been aided, as well as the possibility to observe the training program. A short article on Dr. Gordon's work in Gaza (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/13/health/views/13case.html?ref=health) which appeared in the New York Times.

Dr. Gordon is a dynamic public speaker with a wealth of personal stories of children and adults he has helped find healing in the midst of loss and despair. A respected and world-renowned expert in mind-body medicine, he can bring the human aspects of this story to life in any medium -- radio, television, or print -- with a warm, knowledgeable voice and his wealth of experience. He is available for immediate comment and interview.

Separating Fact from Bioidentical Hype

Separating Fact from Bioidentical Hype

Hot from Menopausal Symptoms and Bothered by the Media Hype about Hormone Replacement? People are hearing about bioidentical hormone replacement along with more traditional types of prescribed hormone medication from the Oprah show and other media. Lets separate Fact from Fiction. The word "bioidentical" is not an accurate medical description of this new, unregulated substance and it certainly is not exactly like the hormones the body produces otherwise there would not be a measurable and clinically evident toxic build-up in the body. In "Revitalize Your Hormones: Dr. Dale's 7 Steps to a Happier, Healthier, and Sexier You" (Wiley; May 2005), Dr. Theresa Dale offers a medically proven natural alternative to invasive and dangerous hormone replacement therapies. Dale invented the world's only clinically proven, FDA registered, homeopathic hormone rejuvenation formulas used for restoring hormone balance without side effects.

(PRWEB) February 19, 2009 -- Hot from Menopausal Symptoms and Bothered by the Media Hype about Hormone Replacement? People are hearing about bioidentical hormone replacement along with more traditional types of prescribed hormone medication from the Oprah show and other media. Lets separate Fact from Fiction. The new buzz word "bioidentical" is deceptive. It's not an accurate medical description of this new, unregulated substance and it is not exactly like the body produces. Clearly there is a measurable and clinically evident toxic build-up in the body.

Bioidentical hormone replacement is not natural even though it originates from yam or soy; it has been compounded and thus a synthetic. That's right; health providers perform thousands of before and after saliva tests on patients and it is clear that there is a toxic build up of all hormone replacement including bioidentical HRT.

Women are wary of recent warnings linking hormone replacement therapy with an increased risk for heart disease, stroke and breast cancer, more and more women are turning to alternative and natural ways to balance their hormone levels. Studies have shown that using hormones such as Prempro, Othro-Prefest or Premphase and bioidentical HRT causes the body to shut down production of its own hormones creating a dependency. Hormone replacement therapy can also elevate existing hormone levels to toxically high amounts, which can tax the adrenal glands, burden the liver, kidneys, and circulatory and immune systems.

Yet, there is a superior way to get both clinically proven and evidence based relief without being exposed to the toxic effects of ALL of these drugs. Health providers throughout the US are using FDA registered NuFem & EndoPure Homeopathic Hormone Rejuvenation, developed by Theresa Dale, ND, CCN, NP.

In "Revitalize Your Hormones: Dr. Dale's 7 Steps to a Happier, Healthier, and Sexier You" (Wiley; May 2005; $15.95/Paper), Dr. Theresa Dale offers a medically proven alternative to invasive and dangerous hormone replacement therapies. With over 20 years of experience as a Naturopathic Doctor, Certified Clinical Nutritionist and researcher, Dr. Dale has helped women balance their hormone levels through safe, non-toxic program. The world's only clinically proven homeopathic hormone rejuvenation formulas used for restoring hormone balance without side effects. These formulas actually produce healthy hormone levels in women of various ages, and eliminate symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, low libido, low energy and irregular menses. The formulas are FDA approved and regulated and are prepared at an FDA registered pharmacy. The remedy goes through a lengthy preparation processes. For example, an herb or substance is diluted and prepared in a manner so that just a micro amount of the original substance is left in the final formula. This method of natural preparation enhances all the properties of the herb and amplifies its efficacy. Homeopathic medicine has been used for 200 years throughout the world, and is natural without toxic side effects. See The Wellness Center website for more education about Homeopathy.

The medical establishment's approach to balancing hormones fails to embrace the concept of the body as a natural living system that is capable of self-repair. Its regimens are based on the premise that people need to look outside our bodies for hormone help via one-size-fits-all drugs. The only hormones that are safe for the human body are the ones the body makes. By using a totally natural and homeopathic program, it is possible to restore emotional, physical and sexual health by following simple and safe individualized nutritional and exercise guidelines.

Addiction Treatment Finds Success Treating Brain Deficiencies through the Belly

Arche Wellness, a licensed addiction treatment program near Pittsburgh PA, has found success treating addiction by focusing on patients' malfunctioning gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Patient data demonstrates that a consistent intake of toxins causes an addict's intestines to stop the natural absorption process. As a result of its effort to decrease toxic load, the body's GI tract inhibits absorption of many essential vitamins, minerals and amino acids, which leads to severe malnutrition, deficiencies and numerous mental health issues. The center now diagnoses and treats this condition using only vitamins, minerals and amino acids, improving the program's effectiveness and increasing treatment success. (PRWeb Feb 19, 2009)
