Restarting Group

Tue, 06 Oct 2009 23:14:11 +0100

Hi [firstname],

We are planning on restarting the group and are trying to pick a time. Candidates times are Wednesday evening or anytime Sunday. Do you have any preferences or suggestions?

The group will be facilitated by Jennifer Kizer. Jennifer just completed her course work for her Masters of Arts in Professional Counseling. As soon as she receives her license we will be starting the group back up. We anticipate starting the group in late November. I have been working with Jennifer to make sure she is up-to-speed on transgender issues. In addition, her spouse is a MTF transgender woman.

Six Steps to Change

Thu, 21 May 2009 03:38:35 +0100

Dear [firstname],

This is your Deer Valley Counseling newsletter for [date].

Let's suppose there is something about yourself you want to change. It could be quitting smoking, working out more, drinking less, yelling at the kids less, reading more, or anything at all you want to change. There are six steps that we tend to go through when successfully making a change.

Step 1: Awareness

To make a change you must first become self-aware. You must accept your good qualities and your bad qualities. To change yourself, you must know yourself.

Step 2: Desire

To change, you must want to change. No one can force you to change. The choice is yours. It's up to you.

Step 3: Attitude

If you become aware of your shortcomings and then develop a desire to improve, you'll automatically approach life differently. Your attitude will change, because you want it to.

Step 4: Skill

Awareness, desire and a good attitude are not enough. You need knowledge of what works and what doesn't. You need new skills that will help you make lasting changes.

Step 5: Behavior

Master steps one through four and you will be ready for change. Follow them for ninety days and they'll become a habit. Follow them for a year and they will become a part of you.

Step 6: Subconscious

When you get a habit into your subconscious, it becomes automatic. You do not even have to think about it. You've changed!

Sandra Nettles, LCSW, MSSW

Dear [firstname],

Tammy Leitner of KPHO 5, the CBS affiliate in Phoenix, came by on Friday and recorded an interview with me as part of an investigative report Tammy is doing on teachers who abuse their students. It is scheduled to air tonight as part of the 10 pm news. I have not seen the segment and do not even know if any of my interview made it in. However, if you are interested in this subject you may want to tune in to channel 5 in Phoenix tonight at 10.

When to Refer for Substance Abuse Treatment

Mon, 13 Apr 2009 22:50:50 +0100

[firstname],

Economic times are tough and some offenders are having trouble finding jobs. Is Substance Abuse Treatment worth the expense? Here are some of the costs of substance abuse—

Direct costs range from $20 a week for a serious drinking problem to $100's a week or more for a cocaine habit
Getting and holding a job is much more difficult for an offender with a substance abuse problem
Users are much more likely to commit a new offense
Users are much more likely to commit domestic violence, physical child abuse, sexual child abuse or neglect
Users are much more likely to catch a disease such as HIV or hepatitis

These costs directly affect the user and his or her family.

Additional points to consider—

Treatment is more effective the earlier it started
Drug testing does not deter all offenders and is not applicable once the offender is off supervision
Treatment has been shown to reduce substance abuse over the short and long term

Recommendations—When to Refer—

Any offender who fails a drug test
Offenders with a history of substance abuse
Offenders arrested for a drug offense
Offenders who self report a problem with alcohol or drugs

Deer Valley Counseling Substance Abuse Program

12 weeks
$20 per week
Friday 6:30 pm & Saturday 2:00 pm
To refer, have client call 602-750-8051
If you want notifications on whether or not the client shows up for the intake, send an email to sandra@deerval.com
