The Power to Overcoming Stress: Accepting the Challenge to CHANGE
By: Ebony S. Muhammad, Certified Thanatologist/Depression & Stress Management Specialist
 Greetings,
Let me begin by stating that all of the strategies and principles suggested within this article and, God-Willing, the articles to follow regarding living a Stress-free life I have put into practice myself. When I say "Stress-free" I am not stating that you will not experience stressful moments, but if you are willing to analyze, examine, and attempt to put these strategies into practice, the Stress you are experiencing will become so insignificant. It will be under your Control so much that you will not refer to it as Stress but as an Opportunity for Empowerment and Emotional Freedom.
Accepting the Challenge to CHANGE does not imply changing who you are to please others, let's be clear about that. Accepting the Challenge to CHANGE can be understood, in other words, as gaining Control over your life and not allowing your circumstances to dictate your potential for Freedom, Survival, Love & Belonging, Power, and Fun (Rosenthal, H.G., 1998). This is the beginning of your Reality check and possibly the start of Controlling all within your realm of 360 degrees.

Ask Ms. Mavis Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, CART
Greetings Readers,
This month I chose to bring some information that I pray will answer questions as well. September is Drug & Alcohol Awareness Month, so it is the perfect time to disseminate information about it. Most people mistakenly think that it only covers illicit or street drugs, but prescription drugs are just as big of a problem, if not a bigger one. The article I will share is from Join Together Direct, which is a service of The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. I am a subscriber of the email newsletter and receive it each week. This article talks about teens and the increase in the abuse of medication prescribed for ADHD. It can also increase awareness in parents so they more closely monitor their children that are prescribed these types of medications. My own grandson accidentally overdosed on his ADHD medication and experienced "tics" for 3-4 days. As I stated, prescription drugs, when abused can result in permanent damage and death just like the street drugs. Read and learn.
Peace & Blessings,
Ms. Mavis
Adolescent Prescription ADHD Medication Abuse Is Rising Along With Prescriptions for These Medications
By: Jennifer Setlik, MDa , G. Randall Bond, MDa,b and Mona Ho, MSc aDivision of Emergency Medicine, bDrug and Poison Information Center, and cDivision of General and Community Pediatrics, Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio Objective: We sought to better understand the trend for prescription attention-deficit/hyperactivitydisorder (ADHD) medication abuse by teenagers. Methods: We queried the American Association of Poison Control Center'sNational Poison Data System for the years of 1998-2005for all cases involving people aged 13 to 19 years, for whichthe reason was intentional abuse or intentional misuse and thesubstance was a prescription medication used for ADHD treatment.For trend comparison, we sought data on the total number ofexposures. In addition, we used teen and preteen ADHD medicationsales data from IMS Health's National Disease and TherapeuticIndex database to compare poison center call trends with likelyavailability. Results: Calls related to teenaged victims of prescription ADHD medicationabuse rose 76%, which is faster than calls for victims of substanceabuse generally and teen substance abuse. The annual rate oftotal and teen exposures was unchanged. Over the 8 years, estimatedprescriptions for teenagers and preteenagers increased 133%for amphetamine products, 52% for methylphenidate products,and 80% for both together. Reports of exposure to methylphenidatefell from 78% to 30%, whereas methylphenidate as a percentageof ADHD prescriptions decreased from 66% to 56%. Substance-relatedabuse calls per million adolescent prescriptions rose 140%. Conclusions: The sharp increase, out of proportion to other poison centercalls, suggests a rising problem with teen ADHD stimulant medicationabuse. Case severity increased over time. Sales data of ADHDmedications suggest that the use and call-volume increase reflectsavailability, but the increase disproportionately involves amphetamines.

Houston Association of Black Psychologists stand with Black Firefighters against Racism
By Jesse Muhammad
 
Houston, Texas---Patience is wearing thin with Mayor Bill White and The United States Department of Justice in Washington may be the next stop for the Houston Black Firefighters Association (HBFFA), who have garnered local and national support in their demand for a strong" zero tolerance" policy for racism and all of other forms of discrimination in the department.
"This is a serious issue", said Otis Jordan, who is president of the HBFFA. "The Houston Fire Department is on auto-pilot and out of control. It is a shame after so many years, it is still the same."
The HBFFA has launched a city-wide letter writing campaign directed at Mayor White, whom they feel has yet to address the issues properly. "Next stop DC!", said Mr. .Jordan.
After six months, White Houston Fire Capt. Keith Smith apologized publicly for keeping a rope tied in the form of a hangman's noose in his locker which was discovered by a Black firefighter earlier this year. But he also insisted that he did not know that the noose was a symbol of hate. This angered many residents and caused the HBFFA not to accept his apology.
The chant of "zero tolerance" by hundreds of protesters resonated throughout the streets of downtown Houston as Deric Muhammad and Mr. Jordan led a rally to demand stronger action by Mayor White. Organizers of the rally are also calling on the firing of Mr. Smith.
"We did not appreciate his (Mr. Smith) apology because it was attached to an excuse", said Mr. Muhammad.
The July 28 rally started with a press conference at the Old Hanging Tree, located three blocks from City Hall. They then marched down Bagby street with signs in the 100 degree heat.
Along with several other speakers Ebony Muhammad spoke on behalf of the Houston chapter of the Association of Black Psychologists. The group also proposed that in-depth sensitivity training be conducted along with a stricter policy of dealing with racist and sexist acts, and "counseling for the both the victimizers and victims of such acts support by the HFD".
"The Association of Black Psychologists takes the stand that no action gives the appearance supporting these kind of acts", said Ebony Muhammad. "It is our contention that the city of Houston takes swift action to handle these issues in a clear, direct and appropriate manner that will benefit all individuals in working a harmonious work environment.

One weekend we decided to travel to visit my family. He dropped me off and went with his friends. My mother fell to her knees as soon as she saw me. She cried hysterically and begged me to stay. I tried to reassure her that everything was fine, but she knew better because she went through the same thing when I was younger. At the end of the day we said our good-byes, and the children and I were on our way home with the "love of my life". For some reason we stopped at a corner store. I made sure not to speak or look at anyone, because I didn't want to set him off. It's two o'clock in the morning, and I just wanted to get home to my bed. He sent me in the store to get him a sandwich a coke. I hurried to get it and got back in the car. We were on our way home with no problems. Suddenly with a coke bottle in his hand, I got the hardest slap across my face.

The Origin of Hurt2Healing
By Bro. Jesse Muhammad- Final Call News Staff Writer , Motivational Speaker, and Artist
HOUSTON (FinalCall.com) - Earlier this year, an article in the popular VIBE magazine asked the question, "What happened to the Millions More Movement?" "The Millions More Movement is alive and well in the city of Houston," said Millions More Movement National Co-Convener Dr. Ben Chavis.
Those sentiments were echoed at a Father's Day press conference here, with a surprising announcement. Pastor Kirbyjohn Caldwell, a prominent pastor of mega-church Windsor Village United Methodist Church, had offered his church's facility and agreed to partner with the Millions More Movement Ministry of Justice in its July 1, 2006 March Against Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (organized by men, for women).
The march, originally scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. from downtown Houston, is themed "From Hurt to Healing, Protecting the Essence of Our Sisters." Supporters include Essence magazine Editorial Director Susan Taylor, the Hip Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN) of New York, Million Woman's March Organizing Committee of Philadelphia, Congressman Al Green, Houston City Councilman Jarvis Johnson and a host of others.
With the theme "From Hurt to Healing: Protecting the Essence of Our Sisters," the Planning and Execution Committee of the Ministry of Justice designed a rally and march unprecedented in the city. How so? Because it was organized chiefly by men for women, who were given an opportunity to express their hurt and the means by which the healing could begin. The rally's opening remarks were delivered by lead organizer Deric Muhammad, who also serves as the Local Ministry of Justice spokesman, which were followed by the pouring of libations by Kofi Taharka of the National Black United Front. Anxious to turn the program over to the Sisters, Bro. Deric then quickly introduced key male leaders in attendance who all came forth to share brief words of support. "Any one who does not love Black women does not love himself," stressed Congressman Al Green (TX-9), who was instrumental in having a congressional bill passed last year to fight domestic violence.
Councilmember Jarvis Johnson (District B) called on all men to start taking charge. "We must patrol ourselves and take a stronger stand for our women." As he spoke, others stood with blown-up composite sketches of a sexual predator that he and others are working to get off of the streets.
