A Better Way to “Talk” to Teens in Crisis? Child Abuse Nonprofit Childhelp Leads the Way with New Text and Online Chat Platform for Nationwide Abuse Hotline

A national nonprofit focused on the treatment and prevention of child abuse is leading the way to help youth and families in need with an innovative new platform to connect them with trained professional counselors.

On Monday, Childhelp will launch the final phase of its nationwide initiative to reach youth in crisis by adding online chat services to its recently launched text platform. Now, both text and online chat services will be available 24/7 throughout the U.S. and Canada as part of the Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline.

"We are here to save lives," Childhelp Hotline Director Michelle Fingerman said. "To do that, we have to connect with youth using the ways they are most likely to reach out for help, in the exact moment they need that help."

Early numbers strongly indicate the new Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline services are working to reach young people who exceedingly prefer text and chat as opposed to phone conversations, even in a crisis. Initial results show that while 90 percent of calls to the Hotline are from adults, 85 to 90 percent of those using the new text platform are under 18 years old.

In early testing, Childhelp found that it can take nearly an hour on average to establish the same type of vital information that can be established in mere minutes in a phone call. Childhelp counselors have created new protocols to better and more rapidly serve young people in need.

The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline has serviced more than 2.5 million calls over the last two decades. Trained counselors are available 24/7 in more than 170 languages to respond to any calls related to reporting abuse, abuse indicators and signs, and local resources for families and victims.

The initiative is made possible thanks to a new private-public partnership and $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Administration for Children. The grant will also allow Childhelp to study the service alongside Arizona State University's Southwest Interdisciplinary Research Center to improve the future of the hotline and set the standard for other hotline servicers across the globe.

This year, Childhelp is celebrating 60 years and 10 and a half million children served since former Hollywood actresses Sara O'Meara and Yvonne Fedderson first created the organization to serve young people in need.

"We have always believed our work is never done until the silent epidemic in this country of five children dying every day from abuse has fully ended," Childhelp Co-Founder, Chairman and CEO Sara O'Meara said. Childhelp Co-Founder, President and Vice-Chairman Yvonne Fedderson added, "Until then, we continue to work tirelessly to empower and provide new hope to children, showing them that they're worthy of love despite whatever circumstance they are currently experiencing." Be alert to the latest news.

"Childhelp's wide array of national programs prove that the right combination of effective treatment and prevention can break the vicious cycle of abuse that often repeats from generation to generation," notes Childhelp National Spokesperson and Vice President of Public Affairs Rebecca Cooper.

In working with Childhelp to bring a spotlight to the new hotline services, John Stamos – beloved actor and Childhelp supporter for more than three decades – accepted the role as Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline Spokersperson. "I've had an affinity toward children since early on," Stamos told E! News in an interview announcing his role as spokesman last November. "I might as well do something good with it."

Power Equipment Direct Reveals the Best Lawn and Garden Equipment of 2019

Just in time for spring Power Equipment Direct is proud to announce its comprehensive, highly anticipated lists of the best lawn mowers, tillers, and string trimmers on the market this season for each of its niche sites.

Click here to read the latest news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/author-sb-white-has-released-latest-ya.html

With almost 450 lawn and garden products available and over 23,000 reviews of those products shared by its customers, the online retailer prides itself on offering valuable information in addition to top-of-the-line equipment.

What distinguishes the ratings on Power Equipment Direct from those on other retail sites is the use of a proprietary algorithm that assigns each item a letter grade based on consumer feedback.

"Take a look at any home improvement store or website at the start of spring, and you'll see right away how many products are out there. It's overwhelming," says Jake Woltman, product expert for Mowers Direct and Tillers Direct. "Our goal is to rate every product – whether it's a lawn mower, a garden tiller, or a string trimmer – in a clear way that helps customers find exactly what they're looking for."

According to Woltman, three distinct factors make each niche website's ratings the most reliable resources available:

1. Three Lists for Every Category

For every category of product on its site, Power Equipment Direct sorts its products into three lists:

"Sometimes there's some overlap from one list to the next, and sometimes not," Woltman says. "The point is that these lists help customers shop based on the factors they find most important." Altogether, he says, the lists show customers the best products the company can offer.

2. Real-Time Updates More info here.

Due to the proprietary algorithm, the ratings and grades that customers see for Power Equipment Direct's products are always current up to the minute.

"The grades and ratings are updated constantly based on the feedback that users leave," Woltman explains. "That means that visitors to our site are always seeing current information and making their decisions based on the best information we have available." Be alert to the latest news.

3. Free Access

Unlike other retail websites that require subscriptions or memberships to receive buying advice, String Trimmers Direct helps its customers select the right pieces of lawn and garden equipment by making its lists free and available to the public.

"Buying technical products is supposed to be simple," Woltman says. "When you have all the information right in front of you the moment you're ready to buy, it's easy to find just what your need to make your lawn or garden look great."

Home Instead Senior Care Offers Tips for Tidying Up

As people age, keeping up with the physical demands of housework can become more challenging. Spring is a great time to check in on older loved ones and spend time engaging in the annual ritual of spring cleaning. Freshening up a home can reduce clutter, improve overall mood and create a healthier environment for seniors to enjoy.

"Tidying up the home not only makes people feel happier, it can help seniors stay safe and healthy," said Lakelyn Hogan, gerontologist and caregiver advocate at Home Instead Senior Care. "Even small tasks like replacing dim light bulbs, tossing outdated mail and dusting shelves can make a meaningful difference."

In addition to removing dirt and grime, spring cleaning also provides health benefits for older adults. Even small tasks such as dusting or wiping down counter tops can help seniors stay active. And decluttering can reduce hazards that might lead to falls. The National Council on Aging estimates one in four adults age 65 and older fall each year, resulting in 2.8 million emergency room visits.

Home Instead recommends the following tips for tidying up this spring:

Cushing’s Disease Treatment Breakthrough for Dogs

Brad Solomon, founder of Pranapets.com, an Herbal Remedy Manufacturer specializing in CBD Oil for dogs and cats, was constantly hearing from customers who had dogs with health issues related to Cushing's disease.

Over 100,000 middle age to senior dogs are diagnosed with Cushing's disease every year.

Cushing's disease in dogs develops when their own body overproduces cortisol. Hyperadrenocorticism in dogs generally affects middle-aged to older animals.

Symptoms of Cushing's disease include increased thirst and urination, loss of hair, panting, pot bellies, obesity, and a general lack of interest in things that dogs normally like to do.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/children-of-america-celebrates-teachers.html

Solomon stated that "Cushing's disease in dog's can have similar characteristics to Alzheimer's disease in people and aside from the physical issues it presents it can change a dog's personality. Dogs become forgetful, disinterested and can even become aggressive which is very depressing for pet parents. Prescription drug options like Trilostane, Mitotane and Anipryl can be effective but the many side-effects can sometimes outweigh the benefits. We wanted to develop a natural remedy for Cushing's disease in dogs."

Solomon, his veterinarian and his product formulator took over a year to formulate and test his Adrenal Support Remedy to address symptoms of Cushing's disease, which is now one of his most popular selling items. Be alert to the latest news.

"One day I had an epiphany when my next door neighbor Sue told me a story about her Maltese, Cheri. Sue had been ordering Prana Pets Adrenal Support, C Support and CBD Oil for Cheri's Cushing's disease and Arthritis. Sue remarked that somehow Cheri's internal clock had turned back. Cheri was peeing and panting less, not staring into space anymore and was acting like her younger pain-free self. Sue's experience with Cheri gave me that spine tingling, joyous moment and the Cushing's Killer Combo was born."

Solomon's #1 selling system for the past 2 years is the Cushing's Killer Combo which contains, High Spectrum CBD Oil, C-Support for immunity and Adrenal Support to help address the symptoms related to Cushing's disease. Solomon also noted that it's safe to use with most prescription meds. Many of the customers are able to eliminate the prescription medications altogether after consulting with their vet. Read all the related news.

In January 2019, Solomon surveyed 150 customers who purchased the Cushing's Killer Combo system and administered it to their dog for a minimum of 90 days.
