I'm ready to talk about our journey with our son's mental health Culture Rebel

http://conniejakab.com/blog/im-ready-talk-journey-sons-mental-health

I’m ready to talk about our journey with our son’s mental health. I have been absent a year from my blog. Feels strange to type again, the flow of words are slow to my mind, but I feel I have something to say… I just hope I can make sense of what still is very confusing to me. When my son was born, he had what is called a strong “ counterwill. 8221;, I would cry out to myself driving away yet again in tears. There is much I can say about all this which I will leave for future posts if I can manage, but I...

Why “God has a wonderful plan for your life” is bogus. In her remarkable book, Teach Us To Want , my friend Jen Polluck Michel brings this statement’s core problem to the light: The problem is not in it’s ignorance to suffering, but it’s constricted understanding of God’s kingdom. An understanding of God’s kingdom is fundamental to answering our hesitations about our desire which are often rooted in our confusion over God’s will. So…. have you ever been confused about God’s will? Where were they before?

A look into the secret world of disconnected youth. Youth at risk programs and facilities are overflowing with addicted and hurting youth. In 1995, Woods Homes had 400 youth involved in their programs. That number has now grown to 20,000. According to Madelyn McDonald. In a CBC Special Report it was noted that 8000 young people in Calgary go into the health care system each year because of mental health issues, many of them are suicidal. Yet this only reveals a portion of the problem. Indeed, it does mor...

When people think you're different - a place changing the face of autism Culture Rebel

http://conniejakab.com/blog/people-think-youre-different-place-changing-face-autism

When people think you’re different – a place changing the face of autism. To be social you have to take risks. It’s already a scary scenario for those who have no social limitations. Imagine someone who struggles with their own state of mind? I know for my son, building friendships has been a struggle. Knowing there is a place I can take him that can help him build those skills is a beautiful thing for our family. They are truly remarkable individuals. They’re not “the homeless”. Proudly a Part of.

They're not "the homeless" Culture Rebel

http://conniejakab.com/blog/theyre-homeless

They’re not “the homeless”. I have been asked why I do what I do. I vividly remember what it was like to be 15 years old. I remember feeling like adults didn’t listen. These youth need someone to be their advocate. For a youth to be successful, it has been said they need one adult, bare minimum, to make it. Bare minimum. We will be that one for that youth. We’ll get some for you. Need help finding out where to go for a specific need? We’ll connect you. Pregnant? Maybe God’s face is completely diffe...
