HEALTHY FOR THE HOLIDAYS
Stephen Sharp Shares Tips for Managing Stress, Anxiety
During the Holiday Season
Plus, Results from the College of Social Sciences Survey on Mental Health.
The holiday season brings a wide variety of guests. Some welcome, like friends and family, and others unwelcome, like stress, anxiety and depression. Most Americans – approximately 97 percent – believe that mental health issues are a serious problem in the United States. But according to a recent survey from College of Social Sciences, more than one-third of Americans who seek counseling for mental health issues experience barriers that make it difficult and sometimes, impossible, to receive services. Still, almost half of survey participants (42 percent) say they would be open to counseling for mental health issues.
On Thursday, December 11, Stephen Sharp is available for interviews to talk about common mental health issues and how to manage them throughout the holiday season. He will also discuss the results of the Social Sciences Mental Health Survey and tips for seeking help, as well as how to overcome barriers that may prevent receiving services. Sharp will also discuss careers in mental health related fields.
Suggested questions:
The holiday season can be a stressful time for some. What are some mental health issues that may arise?
What are some of the barriers to receiving mental health services?
The World Health Organization estimates 1 in 4 people will experience an episode of mental illness in their lifetime. Is the demand for services driving significant job growth in mental health related fields?

The Great American Teach-Off to recognize two extraordinary U.S. educators with $10,000 classroom grants to support their amazing efforts in the classroom

GOOD and University of Phoenix Honor America’s Most Innovative Teachers

LOS ANGELES, January 22, 2013 — GOOD and University of Phoenix today announced the launch of the Great American Teach-Off, a contest that will award two extraordinary teachers from grades K-12 with $10,000 classroom grants. Starting today, parents, students and community members can nominate innovative and inspiring teachers by visiting  www.good.is/GATO. The nomination period will end on Feb. 15,

2013, and 20 finalists will be chosen to compete for the $10,000 classroom grants. There will be 10 finalists from grades K-6 and 10 finalists from grades 7-12, and a grant recipient will be chosen from each category.

Past winners impacted their communities by engaging students in a hands-on sustainability project and facilitating private instruction for displaced students. The 2012 grant recipient was eighth grade teacher Daryl Bilandzija of Odyssey Charter School

in Altadena, Calif. He used the $10,000 grant to connect the inside of his classroom to an outdoor edible and sustainable garden and gave his students a hands-on learning environment.

2011 grant recipient Terry Dougherty, a third grade teacher at Roland Rogers Elementary School in Galloway Township, N.J., drew on her eacher, great, american, teach-off, teach, off, class, classroom, grants, efforts, good, phoenix, honor, innovative, teachers, school, children, childown experience being part of a military family. She recognized the hardships military children endure as they transfer state to state and experience curricula changes. Dougherty used her grant to develop “Military Child Tutoring – They Are Heroes Too!,” a free tutoring program for children of military families.

“Teachers play a critical role in shaping the futures of our nation’s children,” said Dr. Meredith Curley, Dean of the College of Education at University of Phoenix. “The

Great American Teach-Off is an opportunity to show our appreciation for teachers and provides a platform to share innovative classroom ideas. Curriculum in K-12 classrooms

continues to evolve to be more hands-on and tie learning to real life experiences. This program celebrates teachers who engage students in creative new ways.”

By recognizing teachers who are committed to impacting student learning outcomes in their classrooms, GOOD and University of Phoenix hope to shed light on the incredible work this nation’s teachers are accomplishing in their classrooms. The $10,000 grants will directly support two K-12 classrooms, but will also impact other classrooms across the nation, serving as examples for educators to adopt for use with their own students.

“The past rounds of the Great American Teach-Off have been incredible,” said Ben Goldhirsh, GOOD Co-Founder. “The positive reaction the program has received demonstrates how important it is to celebrate teachers who go above and beyond. We all know America needs creative and pragmatic solutions to improve education.

Tapping into a passionate community of educators to find those solutions has proven to be a great way to go about it. We are so excited to see what’s next, and hope we have an even bigger pool of deserving candidates in this next round of the Great American Teach-Off!”

For more information and to nominate a teacher for a grant, visit the Great American Teach-Off website at www.good.is/GATO. The nomination period begins Jan. 22, 2013, and will end on Feb. 15, 2013, after which 20 finalists will be chosen to be in the running for the grand prize.
