Where Have I Been?
October 17, 2009 Thanks to all of you who have asked, "Where are you? Why no blog posts?"
It's great to know someone is listening to my babble and occassional rants over here.
I will do better at blogging. How about short posts a few times a week?
Where have I been? Well, I've been putting together my Homework Survival System for many of you. It's been fun and my sense is, it's been helpful to the kids and families particiapting (let me know if you think otherwise).
I've also been developing a new blog for other mental health professionals who want successful private practices. Why am I sharing this with you? Because I know from hearing you talk about your experiences trying to get help for your children that mental health and health professionals need to do a better job reaching out, getting informed, using technology, and sharing their knowledge.
As health and wellness professionals, we know important stuff that can change lives, but many of these professionals don't want a website, are fearful of Facebook or Twitter. One colleague recently told me that a mental health professional shouldn't have a blog! Please!
I want to change these perceptions, so when you need information on your child's needs, your needs, or your parent's needs there are experts out there to help you.
If you agree with me you can help this cause by telling your health care providers to get with the program, get online, tell the world what they know that is helpful to YOUR health.
The truth is if more quality information gets out, it benefits clients as well as wellness professionals.
Win-win. You know I LOVE that!
'Kay, guys, keep me honest. If I slack off on the blog, call me on it!!
Oh, if you're curious about that blog for mental health professionals, here it is: http://www.bizsavvytherapist.com. But keep in mind it is totally irrelevant to children's mental health.
