Psychological. The stage of cognitive decline is assessed using the Xxxxxxxx Global Deterioration Scale (GDS).(30) The GDS consists of seven stages ranging from 1 (no cognitive decline) to 7 (very severe cognitive decline/severe dementia). Behavioral symptoms are measured using the Dutch version of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory- Nursing Home edition (NPI-NH).(31-33) The NPI-NH assesses 12 different types of behavioral symptoms: delusions, hallucinations, agitation, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, euphoria/elation, apathy/indifference, disinhibition, irritability/lability, aberrant motor behavior, nighttime distur- bances and appetite/eating change. Both severity and frequency are rated on a Likert scale. For each symptom, a score is calculated by multiplying the severity and frequency scores. The total score is calculated by summing the symptom scores. Symptom scores range from 0-12, and the total score ranges from 0-144. The NPI-NH is a valid and reliable tool for Dutch nursing home settings and has a high inter-rater agreement.(33) Depressive symptoms are measured with the Minimum Data Set Depression Rating Scale (MDS-DRS), an observation-based instrument to screen for depression in nursing home residents.

Psychological o Spreading rumors, manipulating social relationships, or promoting social exclusion, extortion or intimidation. o Sending hurtful or threatening emails or writing notes. o Creating a website devoted to taunting. OCEAA believes prevention is a critical strategy for protecting all students from bullying. Through workshops, class discussions and assemblies, students are supported to take a stand against bullying. Therefore, students who observe or are exposed to bullying* behavior are expected address their concerns with the bully first. The expected result of this communication is for the perpetrator to agree to respect their peers and stop unwanted behaviors. This will be considered a warning. If the bullying behavior persists, students are expected to seek the help of an adult (i.e. teacher, supervisor, administrator, etc.) to solve the problem. Retaliation against anyone who tells an adult when bullied, or who helps in an investigation, is prohibited and constitutes bullying behavior. The following consequences ** will be implemented when an ODR for bullying behavior is made by any OCEAA staff member: **Steps may be skipped depending on the severity of the incident. 1st Referral 2nd Referral 3rd Referral If persists Investigation to determine if the behavior is bullying or another problem behavior Investigation Parental conference with administration Investigation Parental conference with administration Investigation Parental conference with administration Suspension/expulsion notice 5-day out-of-school suspension/expulsion recommendation Perpetrator writes apology letter to victim(s) Restitution for any damages Review this discipline plan Parental notification Mediation session with students involved 3-5 days in-school suspension (including mediation with students) Suspension notice 2-3 days out-of-school suspension 1-3 days in- school intervention Discipline & Intervention Behavior Plan (including referral to counseling) Discipline & Intervention Behavior Plan (including referral to counseling) Perpetrator reads literature on bullying Perpetrator writes apology letter to victim(s) Perpetrator writes apology letter to victim(s) Perpetrator writes apology letter to victim(s) Restitution for any damages Restitution for any damages Restitution for any damages Review this discipline plan Review this discipline plan Review this discipline plan Discuss if OCEAA is a match for family How to file a complaint OCEAA is committed to providing a safe learning envir...

Psychological. Psychology has not always had a prominent place within sport, but since the onset of professionalism in sport it has been considered an indispensable contributor to performance191. In justifying the importance of the psychological factor Xxxxx & Xxxxxx (2004) recommend establishing psychological attributes and mental skills associated with superior sport performance to distinguish the potential of players and identify those with characteristics prevalent among elite performers. Indeed, it has been shown that sport psychosocial skills and relevant psychosocial factors can distinguish between rugby union players of different levels of competition 193. It has been suggested that the psychological factor be broken into “state” and “trait” characteristics of rugby players. That is, “state” refers to characteristics that are relatively changeable, whereas “trait” refers to characteristics which are more stable over time194.

Psychological. Though patients never explicitly stated a desire or need for professional help to manage emotional/psychological or social/relational challenges, the greatest observed unmet needs appeared to exist in the psychosocial domain. Several patients mentioned struggling with depressive symptoms or displayed depressive symptoms during the course of the interview. One patient, when responding to the question, “Has this [disease] changed the way you think or feel about yourself?” began to sob and stated, “I feel worthless.” Others mentioned the potential to be depressed, or “I could see how that could get you down,” though they did not specifically say they were experiencing depressive symptoms themselves. None of the participants mentioned mental health services during interviews. Coupled with the finding that patients with motor neuron disease—the neurodegenerative disease category of which ALS is a subtype—experience more hopelessness, demoralization, and suicidal ideation than patients suffering from metastatic cancer, these reports and observations merit significant consideration [20]. Deepening our understanding of the nature and effects of depression, anxiety, and psychological needs on the patient and caregiver experience of ALS is an important aim for future research. Of particular interest are the effects that result from improving the availability and utilization of mental health interventions. Specifically, if issues like depression are managed more successfully, what are the effects on the patient and family experiences? Is there any change in decision-making trends, expressed moral frameworks or values, or shared narratives for patients whose mental health needs are addressed? Are there associated improvements in prognosis, social health, or overall reduction in the amount of suffering experienced by patients and their family members? If managing emotional/psychological needs demonstrates functionality in improving patient and caregiver experience and outcomes, investigation into potential prophylactic measures to circumvent or proactively address factors that may lead to psychological distress would be of great interest. In addition to the queries above, research into the impacts of social norms or constructs (i.e. stigma, shame, etc.) on patients’ interest or reporting of mental health care needs in the context of neurologic illness would be fruitful. This trajectory of inquiry may also help to inform considerations about how care teams may best addr...

  • Psychologists When psychologist positions become vacant, psychologists presently employed by Oakland Public Schools for less than full-time shall be given first consideration in filling these positions.

  • PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES Psychotherapy is not easily described in general statements. It varies depending on the personalities of the psychologist and patient, and the particular problems you hope to address. There are many different methods I may use to deal with those problems. Psychotherapy is not like a medical doctor visit. Instead, it calls for a very active effort on your part. In order for the therapy to be most successful, you will have to work on things we talk about both during our sessions and at home. Psychotherapy can have benefits and risks. Because therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, and helplessness. When treating insomnia specifically, therapy might cause you to experience increased sleepiness and fatigue, especially in the early phases of treatment. On the other hand, psychotherapy has also been shown to have benefits for people who go through it. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, significant reductions in feelings of distress, improved sleep, and less fatigue. But there are no guarantees as to what you will experience. Our first session will involve an evaluation of your needs. By the end of the evaluation, I will be able to offer you some first impressions of what our work will include and a treatment plan to follow, if you decide to continue with me for therapy. You should evaluate this information along with your own opinions about whether you feel comfortable working with me. At the end of the evaluation, I will notify you if I believe that I am not the right therapist for you and if so, I will give you referrals to other practitioners who I believe are better suited to help you. Therapy involves a large commitment of time, money, and energy, so you should be very careful about the therapist you select. If you have questions about my procedures, we should discuss them whenever they arise. If your doubts persist, I will be happy to help you set up a meeting with another mental health professional for a second opinion. Please note that the psychological services I provide are not for emergency situations. For emergencies, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. FEES My fee is $395 for an initial evaluation lasting 90 minutes, and $250 for each subsequent psychotherapy session (either in-person or over the telephone) lasting 45 minutes. I charge this same $250 per 45-minutes rate for other professional services you may need, though I will prorate the cost if I work for periods of less than 45 minutes in increments of 15 minutes, rounded to the nearest 15-minute increment (e.g., 22 minutes of service will be charged for 15 minutes whereas 23 minutes of service will be charged for 30 minutes). Other professional services include telephone conversations or email responses lasting longer than 15 minutes, and the time spent performing any other service you may request of me. If you become involved in legal proceedings that require my participation, you will be expected to pay for any professional time I spend on your legal matter, even if the request comes from another party, at the same $250 per 45-minutes rate. I do not charge for time spent writing reports and progress notes as per the standard routine of my care of you. I also do not charge for any time I may spend collaborating with your other providers. From time to time, I may institute fee increases and these will be discussed and agreed upon ahead of time with a new Treatment Contract. If it has been more than one year since our last appointment, then you will re-initiate services at my current standard fee which may be higher than the fee you were previously paying. In addition, if it has been more than one year since our last appointment, you will be scheduled for another initial evaluation (90 minutes) and charged accordingly, with subsequent 45-minute psychotherapy sessions thereafter. INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT You are responsible for paying your full session fee. I am not in-network with any insurance companies. If you decide to submit claims to your insurance company for reimbursement for any out-of-network benefits you might have, you may do so. However, be aware that the services provided will still be charged to you, not your insurance company, and you are responsible for the full payment. I have no role in deciding what your insurance covers. You are responsible for checking your insurance coverage, deductibles, payment rates, pre-authorization procedures, etc. Missed appointments, late cancellations (i.e., cancellations within 24 hours of service), and telephone session are not typically covered by insurance companies and therefore you will likely be responsible for the full session fee in these instances. If your insurance company doesn’t reimburse you, I am not responsible for refunding you any payment you expected to be reimbursed or otherwise. I will provide you a superbill after each session with the following information that you will need to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement for any out-of-network benefits you might have:

The Incapacity of a Limited Partner, in and of itself, shall not dissolve or terminate the Partnership.

  • Accident INVESTIGATIONS Whenever an accident occurs involving the equipment or personnel of a Supporting Party, the Protecting Party shall take immediate steps to notify the Supporting Party that an accident has occurred. As soon as practical, the Protecting Party shall initiate an investigation of the accident. A team made up of appropriate representatives from all affected agencies shall conduct the investigation. Costs for investigation personnel are Party-specific and will be borne by the sending Party. Other accident or incident investigation costs are the fiscal responsibility of the Party (ies) that has jurisdiction and/or investigative responsibility. The sharing of information between Parties on accident investigations and their findings and probable causes is a valuable tool for safety and must be encouraged.
