No Stigma: There are many reasons why people do
not get help for mental health problems. Fear, Shame and
Embarrassment often prevent individuals and their families
from doing anything. Mental health problems are real, and
they deserve to be treated. It is not a person's fault if he
or she has a mental health problem. No one is to blame.
Mental health problems are not a sign of weakness. They are
something you can't just "snap out of" even if you try.
Whether you're male or female, it's OK to ask for help and
get it. There's hope. People improve and recover --with the
help of treatment, and they are able to enjoy happier and
healthier lives. www.nostigma.org

Prostate cancer affects and kills almost as many men
annually as breast cancer does women. As with breast cancer,
the physical and emotional toll on the patient and his loved
ones can sometimes be overwhelming. The noted journal
Cancer* recently published a study indicating that
women whose husbands had prostate cancer reported
significantly greater psychological distress on all measures
as compared with their husbands-regardless of the stage of
their husbands' disease. US TOO! International, Inc., is a
leading international prostate cancer advocacy, education
and support group to address this situation with guidance
from an Advisory Board. www.2against1.com

StopHazing.org In 1992 concerned students and
administrators at the University of New Hampshire formed a
group called the MJTF (multi-jurisdictional task force) with
the sole purpose of passing an anti-hazing law in New
Hampshire. In order to educate the NH legislature and public
on the topic of hazing, the MJTF prepared books of
educational materials, held press conferences, gave lectures
and testified at the NH legislature. After a large effort
involving students across the state the NH law was
successfully passed in 1993. In 1998, two of the original
members of the MJTF, Brian Rahill and Elizabeth Allan
noticed the lack of hazing information available on the web.
They quickly gathered the materials they had developed
during the effort to pass the NH law and co-founded the
group StopHazing.org with the mission to eliminate hazing
through education. The main purpose of StopHazing.org is to
serve as a resource for accurate, up-to-date hazing
information for students, parents, and educators.
StopHazing.org now helps to educate over 30,000
visitors/month. www.stophazing.org

La Leche League was founded to give information
and encouragement, mainly through personal help, to all
mothers and fathers who want to breastfeed their babies.
While complementing the care of the physician and other
health care professionals, it recognizes the unique
importance of one parent helping another to perceive the
needs of her child and to learn the best means of fulfilling
those needs. LLL believes that breastfeeding, with its many
important physical and psychological advantages, is best for
baby and mother and is the ideal way to initiate good
parent-child relationships. The loving help and support of
the father enables the mother to focus on mothering so that
together the parents develop close relationships which
strengthen the family and thus the whole fabric of society.
LLL further believes that mothering through breastfeeding
deepens a mother's understanding and acceptance of the
responsibilities and rewards of her special role in the
family. As a woman grows in mothering she grows as a human
being, and every other role she may fill in her lifetime is
enriched by the insights and humanity she brings to it from
her experiences as a mother. prdept@llli.org

that embody the assumption of male superiority. www.nomas.org

Campaign to End Homophobia: The purpose of the Campaign is to build and support a network of people working together to end homophobia and heterosexism through education. Homophobia is the irrational fear of homosexuality and the hatred, disgust, and prejudice that fear brings. Oppression of lesbians and gays, as well as bisexual women and men, is based on homophobia. But it also hurts heterosexuals by maintaining rigid definitions of "approporate" sex-role behavior and sexual relationships. We believe that education about homophobia and heterosexism is most effective when done in connection with other oppressions based on race/ethnicity, ability, class, age, sex, gender identification, sexual orientation, and religion or spiritual beliefs. www.endhomophobia.org/ |

With
Kids-In-Mind, the movie reviews are objective,
non-critical assessments of the potentially objectionable
material contained in movies and are primarily addressed to
parents. They don't tell parents whether a movie is good or
bad, they don't tell them whether it has any social or
political significance -- they don't even bother with
whether it has artistic merit. They simply list material
that parents may not want their kids to watch or hear. Then
parents can decide whether a movie is OK for their own kids,
according to their own criteria. The writing style is
straightforward and quite neutral, and they take great pains
to describe a film's content without actually revealing any
plot elements. This is not religiously-based movie reviews.

RoMANtic: Romance is about
sharing and giving of yourself. It’s a combination of
all the little (and big) things you do to say “I love
you” and to let someone know how special they are. What
is most romantic comes from your heart, not from inside your
wallet. A real "RoMANtic" is someone who takes the personal
approach to romance over the commercial way. They don't wait
for special holidays to express their love and when they do
let their sweetheart know just how cherished they are, they
don't do it merely with store-bought, expensive gifts. Make
it a goal to being a RoMANtic all year round – starting
today. Learn more at www.TheRomantic.com
