Thoughts from the CEO's Desk
Greetings Friends, Colleagues, and Fellow Professionals,
Any time that I sit down to write, I am overcome with sincere gratitude for the opportunities that Hired Power has allowed myself and my team.  So first and foremost, thank you for trusting us as professionals and collaborators in transition treatment planning for those you serve.
With the summer winding down, that also means that conference season is gearing up.  August can be a great time for reflection, to keep things "right sized" and to put a plan in place for self-care.  In less than one month, the hustle and bustle of travel, attending conferences, speaking engagements, planning for the holidays and keeping our busy " plan can create burn-out.  We know that nothing is effective without taking care of ourselves first, after all that is what we preach daily, right?  And do we really do it?  
Today I challenge myself, my team, and each of you to set aside 10 minutes to write a list of the self-care items you are going to incorporate over the next 4 months. Let's document, let's share our thoughts and ideas.  Let's walk our talk and lead by example.  
After all, being available for the next family and/or individual that makes THAT call only happens if we are mentally, emotionally and physically present.  And that is the most important task we have in this profession.
In gratitude,
Nanette

Benefits Of Alternative Sentencing
Mental illness is not a crime. Drug and alcohol addiction, which are the result of living with untreated substance use disorders, also are not crimes. Yet, our judicial system is setup to punishpeople who are in need of help instead of give them the help that they need so they no longer interfere with the law. Mental illness, of all kinds, changes the way the brain thinks.
