MENDON, N.Y. -- Heroin and other drug abuse continues to be an issue in Monroe County. Thursday night, a panelist of community leaders and anti-drug advocates tackled the issue head on at a town hall meeting in Mendon. They discussed what they have seen on the front lines of heroin abuse. County Legislator Karla Boyce said she organized the event to bring more awareness to the dangers of substance abuse. The group on hand for Thursday night's meeting included moms who have kids dealing with addiction or in recovery, looking for support. William Cleeton-Gandino shared his story of addiction, which he said started at the early age of 11. Now, at 19, he said he is drug free, and offered insight into the county wide problem. "If we don't have the community support , then people won't be able to achieve recovery and families won't know there's hope and there's a chance to get through it," said Cleeton-Gandino. "My mission and goal right now is to get the education out there in the community. That's one thing I know we can promise that we can do in partnership with Monroe County Sheriff Department as well as people who have suffered through this," said Boyce. "If they're willing to share their stories and people are willing to listen I'm sure we can make a difference in our community," said Boyce. People were also given information about local support groups, including the Family Recovery Network. Volume 14 - 2023 | https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1085944 This article is part of the Research TopicInsights in: Psychology for Clinical Settings 2022View all 22 articles The Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is a tragic and difficult experience for families It involves not only the death of the baby but also the loss of a future as a parent The subsequent grief is multifaceted and each family member has different needs and resources we identified 24 studies between 1982 and 2021: they dealt with individual family and couple experience when a SIDS occurs; in addition some studies compared perinatal loss and neonatal loss with SIDS loss Our results point out the need for an intervention that focuses on the needs of each family member and tailored around the specifics of SIDS loss rather than general grief Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is “the sudden unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant less than one year of age that remains unexplained after a thorough case investigation, including performance of a full autopsy with ancillary testing, investigation of the site of death, and review of the clinical history” (Goldstein et al., 2019a we hypothesize that SIDS may have psychological effects not only on the mother This systematic review arose from the need to provide a qualitative synthesis of the psychological impact of SIDS not only at the personal level and extended family experience is useful in providing forms of support or possibly interventions that address the needs and priorities of these individuals The grief that follows the loss of a child to SIDS crashes into the lives of affected families like a bolt from the blue and although there is a strong commitment to prevention campaigns worldwide the etiology of sudden infant death syndrome is not yet clear until medical science provides the answers we all expect it is of great interest to explore not only the risk factors for SIDS but also to be prepared for what this event means at the couple and family level This review should serve as a starting point for timely and up-to-date training of health professionals who should utilize the figure of the psychologist as the primary coordinator for family bereavement care The research questions that this systematic review aims to answer are: What are the consequences of SIDS at the personal and family level What is the grieving process of the mother The aim of this review is therefore to develop a better understanding of the difficulties faced by bereaved families after a fatality attributed to SIDS The following systematic review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for searching, systematizing, and reporting systematic reviews (Moher et al., 2009; Page et al., 2021) The search was conducted from July 2021 to December 2021 and has no specific time interval It was decided not to limit the search to a short time frame in order to include as many studies as possible Each article was independently reviewed for eligibility by two individuals Studies were identified by querying online databases (ProQuest Psychology Journal focusing on the psychological impact of SIDS at the family The combination of keywords in this first step was: (1) sudden infant death syndrome OR sids OR sudi OR suid OR sudden unexplained death in infants AND (3) parent’ OR mother’ OR father’ OR sibling’ this number was further reduced to 61 after eliminating 15 duplicates the 61 selected studies were analyzed by title and abstract 17 articles were removed because they (1) addressed causes and SIDS prevention; were more concerned with religion than with the consequences of SIDS for family members; addressed specific conditions (abuse addressed medical research or book reviews Studies that addressed the search for medical causes of SIDS or risk and prevention factors were excluded because although they were of great scientific relevance they were not consistent with the objectives of the present study The systematic analysis of the literature was carried out considering the objectives, the inclusion and exclusion method used and the results. The selection process is shown in Figure 1, while detailed information on each article can be found in Table 1 Summary table—studies about the psychological impact of SIDS on the family system The selected studies were conducted in different parts of the world: United States (n = 11) with: a greater frequency in the 1990s (n = 13) followed by the period from 2010 to 2020 (n = 4) Sixteen studies used quantitative techniques Parents also seek to authentically share detailed information about the diagnosis, which facilitates a comprehensive explanation of the death by professionals (Garstang et al., 2016) the review provided satisfactory results at the substantive level indicating that the topic deserves clinical attention and inspiration for further research not only in the medical field but also in the psychological field This literature review identified 24 studies on the psychological impact of SIDS on the family system This literature review highlighted the basic characteristics of SIDS: first the differences between SIDS and perinatal and neonatal loss The authors strongly emphasized the risk posed by the simultaneous presence of multiple factors: more than two factors significantly predicted risk in the year after death while four factors significantly predicted risk 2 years after the child’s death only one study emerged that focused exclusively on the father figure; however it cannot be considered representative of the population Based on the findings, it could be noted that there is little literature on the figure of the father at the international level; moreover, in research on the grief experience of family members after a childhood loss, the mother’s experience has been much studied, to the detriment of the fathers’ experience (Morris et al., 2019) further thematic knowledge is needed to better understand the experience of grieving fathers so that the life of the family as a whole is not lost after a loss SIDS results in a sudden change in the roles and responsibilities of both partners, which differ in terms of gender-specific grieving processes (Plews-Ogan et al., 2021): men’s problem-solving ability is more action-oriented than women’s (Williams and Nikolaisen, 1982) However, it is important to consider these data for intervention purposes, especially after the worsening of some risk factors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in women for anxiety disorders and major depression (COVID-19 Mental Disorders Collaborators, 2021) The authors also pointed to a possible positive effect of pregnancies after the loss and a correlation between the length of the child’s life and the parents’ adjustment, but, in contrast to Price et al. (1985), found that a longer time spent with the child negatively affected the parents’ grief response (Dyregrov and Matthiesen, 1987) this analysis shows that SIDS is a tragic event that has psychological consequences at the individual the unexplained and sudden loss of a child in the first year of life can have profound effects on the entire family system: Indeed each member of the family unit may suffer from the loss at both the individual and relational levels it would be important that new studies also be conducted on the experiences of all family members who have suffered the loss This article aims to highlight the international literature on the psychological consequences of the sudden and unexpected death of a child It was decided to approach this topic with a broader focus of attention in order to capture the impact that these tragic losses have outside the parent couple it was possible to observe that not only the parents suffer this loss but also the other family figures around them such as the grandparents and the siblings already present Compared to the considerable amount of data on mothers’ experiences there is no corresponding number of studies on fathers there is only one study focusing on male partners in the Māori population which is also difficult to generalize due to the strong cultural and social component; other works include the father figure in studies of couples We can say that further studies focusing exclusively on the paternal experience are needed to better legitimize the pain resulting from this loss and to provide the basis for support tailored to men’s specific needs surveys of siblings are not based on a direct examination of their behavior it is important to conduct ad hoc studies that examine the real-life experiences of siblings at specific ages and to develop guidelines to assist parents in communicating about death and grief with siblings grandparenting and comparative studies of stillbirth Findings about grandparenting experiences and hypotheses about differences in grief between stillbirth and SIDS are based on old studies; therefore we believe there will be an opportunity to review and update these data in light of new studies No medical databases were considered in the review of the literature; instead it was decided to examine only the psychological databases it is advisable to deepen the investigation and consider databases from other disciplines The studies included in this review point to the need for an intervention that targets the needs of each family member and is tailored to the specifics of SIDS loss The role of the psychologist must become more important and central in the moments following the loss to make the best use of available resources and reduce risk factors as much as possible Until medical science finds the causes of this syndrome clinical psychology must strive to develop programs that address the experiences of these families with continuity and competence offering them a pair of lenses better suited to see the eclipse that has obscured their existence and preparing them to reinvest in desire and life The original contributions presented in

Syracuse University Bookstore in the lower level of the Schine Student Center was bustling Other shelves held large bags called the Valentine’s Snack Attack—filled with cookies and balloons were bunched together in cheerful bouquets The Bookstore’s Hugs from Home program offers parents and families the opportunity to order sweet and thoughtful treats for their students for Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day is by far the busiest delivery day who leads the staff in preparing for the big day this space was the staging area from which Bookstore employees prepped for the delivery of more than 400 gifts to students in residence halls academic buildings and Greek houses across campus Parents selecting gifts had 15 packages from which to choose including various combinations of snacks; fruit; balloons; cookie cakes cupcakes and cookies from the Food Services Bake Shop; Chocolate Pizza Company pizza and wings; collegiate items; flowers; candy; chocolate-covered strawberries and plush bears Steve Richardson checks orders that are prepared to be delivered to the residence halls The Bookstore has run the Hugs from Home Program for more than 30 years and administrative assistant Linda Owens has coordinated the program and deliveries for the past 18 have been assembling the gifts together for years they work so closely that they are affectionately nicknamed “the twins” by their coworkers The Valentine’s Day initiative begins months in advance as Hayden begins ordering non-perishable items Gifts containing perishable items—such as flowers and baked goods—are assembled in the immediate days leading up to Valentine’s Day Maitland was busy cross-referencing handwritten cards with master lists Hayden crowned the Berry Indulgence packages—chocolate-covered strawberries—with red bows while Owens worked on assembling balloon bouquets—making sure that each was just right The two moved from task to task with the ease of a well-oiled machine evidence of their years of experience in making this day go off without a hitch Bookstore employees Steve Richardson and Yuqing Sun worked on attaching cards to gifts they were packed into boxes organized by residence halls and placed on pallets Driver Rob Hillers loaded the pallets onto a truck and delivered them to the front desks of each of the residence halls “We are always happy when this day comes,” Maitland says “There is always a lot of excitement around getting everything together and out to the students.” The program is one of the ways the Bookstore supports students during their Syracuse experience “Aside from being committed to providing students with the goods and services required for their academic success we also like to feel it’s within our mission to provide products and services that connect the student alum and family member to campus,” says SU Bookstore Director Roger Hailstork “This is evidenced by campuswide events such as visitation days and homecomings where the Bookstore doubles as a hub for connecting and reconnecting regardless of school or college affiliation.” Owens and Hayden kept a watchful eye to make sure everything was running smoothly particularly in the residence halls with lots of orders The staff that work with Hugs and other “under the radar” Bookstore programs are incredible “It is not an exaggeration to say they treat each order as if they made it for their loved ones Staff comes in early and leaves late to ensure that all items are accounted for and all addresses are correct,” he says “This is not a project that just started this week They have spent the last month ordering product double checking names and coordinating the delivery effort Accuracy is a point of personal pride with my staff as they know the loved ones who ordered these arrangements trust us to get it right.” Anthony Gandino delivers Hugs from Home cookies to Allison Small at her South Campus apartment While Hillers delivered gifts to the campus residence halls Anthony Gandino loaded up a van with the deliveries intended for South Campus He has been making these deliveries for several years Even when the campus shut down on Valentine’s Day due to bad weather several years ago Gandino and his co-workers made the campus deliveries Gandino delivered gifts Thursday to several South Campus student residents and they were from my mom and dad back home It was very sweet to have them delivered to me and it felt as if I weren’t so far from them right now,” Small said “I was walking around with a smile on my face all day having felt loved this Valentine’s Day!” Gandino left a note asking the student to pick up their gift at the Bookstore “I am sure she will share,” he told one roommate an illustration of how the love of Hugs from Home extends throughout campus Olympic gold medalist and visionary executive Benita Fitzgerald Mosley says it has been her lifelong mission to help people win gold medals in business—and in life “My gold medal is

His parents took out a restraining order against him and compiled a list of Neil Young songs to play at his funeral "I never thought he would live," Meyer said Trevor ended up at Unity Chemical Dependency's Young Men's Community Residence in Greece in June 2012 after a stint in jail for violating the restraining order by forging checks from his parents' bank account and pawning his younger sister's laptop Seven of his 11 months in the residence overlapped with Owen whom Trevor recalled as a caring friend who was serious about getting sober Trevor recalled feeling low on his birthday in the residence and Owen presenting him with a hand-made card encouraging him to stay clean and a pair of white long underwear wrapped in newspaper who today is 20-months clean and living in a halfway house "A lot of people (there) weren't serious about getting sober The seeds of Owen's habit were planted years earlier He was a bright child with an artistic flair Doctors diagnosed him with a variety of mental health disorders where he saw a lot of darkness in the world," said Will Cleeton-Gandino Owen first used marijuana with his Boy Scout troop as a pre-teen Between brushes with the law during his teenage years he spent time in five different residential drug treatment programs The last was the Young Men's Community Residence from which he was discharged for poor behavior had him research the dangers of drug use and volunteer at a homeless shelter When he started skipping school as a teenager his parents had him put on court-ordered probation They pressed charges when he stole from them He had been in counseling since he was 9 years old "We always wanted to make sure Owen saw the consequences thinking that if they were painful enough he would make better choices," Frazier said president of the board of the American Society of Addiction Medicine said family participation in an addict's treatment plan is critical to success addiction for some is difficult to overcome even with the best supports has a range of potential severity," Gitlow said "You could have a mild addict or you could have a severe addict There are some people who do well the first time they go through treatment then there are others whose disease progresses and progresses and progresses and they eventually die." Like many parents of addicts who are involved in their child's recovery Frazier found a second family in others who relate to living with the mayhem recalled hosting a pre-race party for her eldest son's cross-country team at a time when Will's abuse was rampant and word that he had recently been arrested had gotten around and I recall that evening several mothers who came to the door and told me their children would not be coming," Cleeton said "I had a sense that it was just too scary for them to think that their children would be in the home of a family where a child had been using drugs." Cleeton recalled asking her mother to call her church's prayer line on behalf of Will "People who are family are so terrified by this disease that they are reluctant to talk about it," said Cleeton He attends Monroe Community College and is active in supporting other recovering addicts Frazier has seized on her son's passing as an opportunity to educate others about addiction his family made available pamphlets on addiction services and invited friends he met in rehab to eulogize him and recount their own struggles "We didn't want his life to be defined by addiction but his death certainly was," Frazier said Owen knew no one in Utica aside from his grandparents but he connected with a dealer online and arranged for the dope that would kill him to be dropped off at their house the night before he died His mother figures he eluded detection by telling his grandparents he was stepping outside for a cigarette He was lying on his side on the bed in the room his mother shared with her sister when they were children "There was nothing good about his death except that when he died he was safe and warm and loved," said his aunt Frazier summoned the strength to visit her old bedroom She recalled finding solace in that the room was full of love and how Owen could easily have died in a gas station bathroom She sometimes has to remind herself that her oldest boy is dead Sometimes she is reminded when she tucks her young daughter and son in at night 'I'm the luckiest mommy in the world because I have three beautiful babies,'" Frazier said Twitter.com/david_andreatta yes—my friend has a point: To someone who has never given a moment’s thought to whether Jesus was a real person or not he does seem like an entirely fictional character.” The consensus is that Jesus was a real person Maybe he was not the Son of God born of a virgin a person who lived in the Middle East at some point in the early first century Skeptics of this view are called Jesus mythicists they have not only been outnumbered among scholars and historians but also widely ignored by the general public In the eight decades Gallup has conducted this poll 2020 was the first year the number dipped below 50% While Christians need Jesus to be historical non-Christians do not have any particular reason to care either way for people who have not had much exposure to Christian history I have a friend who has never once gone to church and more or less lives her life entirely oblivious to the existence of any world religion I told her recently that I am starting to come around to the idea that Jesus was entirely fictional Jesus was born to a woman who had never had sex he rose up into the sky and conveniently never came back down his story (we often hear) parallels those of other mythical figures who offer salvation after dying and coming back he does seem like an entirely fictional character This point is important because more and more people are growing up like my friend with next-to-no exposure to the Jesus story beyond the mythical bits the mythicist view will be the default view But let us forget about statistics and anecdotes Do the mythicists actually have a valid argument that Jesus was fictional Or are they just (as is often claimed) bitter atheists and conspiracy theorists who don’t understand the history Here is Richard Carrier’s case for mythicism as he presented it in three simple points on a recent episode of the MythVision Podcast: the case against Jesus’s historicity seems eminently reasonable And yet it has not been given a proper hearing by either religious scholars or the public As mythicist author Earl Doherty shows in a survey, historians rely on the consensus view to brush aside the mythicist theory rather than to examine it. Carrier has also observed that most scholars who study Jesus are biased against the mythicist view because they are essentially trained to presuppose that Jesus existed as a real person. In a 2017 talk, Carrier explained “Even secular experts in this field have been trained with a body of Christian faith assumptions that are this lens through which you look at this evidence and select which evidence to look at.” As a result the consensus that Jesus was a real person is based on this framework of Christian faith assumptions I think mythicists are shooting themselves in the foot because they convince those who want to be convinced and the people they really ought to be trying to convince just laugh at them.” In other words Ehrman thinks arguing for mythicism is the wrong tactic for deconverting Christians Although I find Ehrman genuine in his views it is possible that he is motivated against taking the mythicists seriously because he does not want to be laughed at by the very people he is trying to reach deconverting Christians should be an entirely separate project But let us assume the mythicists do not have a strong case against the historicity of Jesus Even so—to return to my original point—it seems likely their numbers are on the verge of growing rapidly Given the demographic shift away from Christianity there are bound to be people (like my friend) who grow up simply assuming Jesus was a fictional character—regardless of whether the academic mythicists have a strong argument or not a growing number of mythicists authors—such as Carrier and Price—are writing books and regularly appearing on podcasts and YouTube channels regardless of whether or not their arguments are any good they sound good to anyone who cares to listen When Carrier recently debated Dennis R. MacDonald on the question of mythicism no one in the comments section was laughing at Carrier (as Ehrman might have worried) I am seeing highly engaged comments that lean skeptically against historicity MacDonald concedes that our earliest extant Gospel (gMark) is so heavily mythologized that it’s completely lacking of veracious historical information concerning Jesus he pins his entire historicist argument on a hypothetical and contested source text (Q) to establish the historical basis for Jesus None of this is to say that Jesus definitely did not exist as a real person Carrier puts the odds at a one in three chance that he existed As someone who knows less about the topic than these experts I am happy to grant historical Jesus even better odds I do not see any way for historical Jesus to maintain such a strong advantage it seems highly probably that the mythicist view will continue to become more well-subscribed to and the new mainstream view—correct or otherwise—might become that Jesus is nothing more than a fictional character Peter Clarke is a freelance journalist in San Francisco He can be found on Twitter @HeyPeterClarke Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
