The service tries their best to meet Katherine’s temporary requirements because those needs target Katherine’s bipolar disorder. For example, to meet her emotional and social needs, she has group therapy sessions. This has improved Katherine’s communication with the opposite. Group therapy has allowed her to listen to other people with similar problems; this has taught her she is not alone in facing challenges and has relieved her stress. Similarly, hearing from people, who are in control of their bipolar gives Katherine hope and inspiration that she too will

    Beside the chaplain’s office on Joint Task Force Guantanamo stands a small trailer that houses morale dogs and massage chairs. Joint Stress Mitigation and Restoration Team is more than just massage chairs and morale dogs though, said Katherine Kline, a staff psychologist at JSMART on JTF-GTMO. JSMART is a behavioral health facility whose mission is to promote mental health awareness, resiliency and prevent other issues. “Our number one goal here is to prevent mental health difficulties before they onset, so that falls under the resiliency,” Kline said. “We get out there and spread the word about how to take care of yourself and not let the stressors pile up; then, of course, to treat them once they do.”…

    Megan Rotatori Case Study

    Many people who experience symptoms of mental health or who have been diagnosed with a mental illness have stated that they felt as though their symptoms are dismissed, or lessened (Itkowitz, 2016). As much as there has been progress with many shows changing the narratives of mental illness and online supports, there is still a definite stigma attached to being diagnosed with mental illness (Itkowitz, 2016). I decided to read Megan Rotatori’s survival story. I chose to read her story because I saw her picture and thought that she appears to be someone who many people would not believe to have a mental health diagnosis (Rotatori, 2014). The 20-year-old college student who is currently studying nursing at University of Vermont stated that she…

    Carla’s story has been one of the most inspirational stories that I have yet to read in Firewalkers. Throughout her story, there were several battles Carla had to overcome, but three stood out to me the most. First, was that Carla knew that the stigma of a mental illness would affect family members and the churches she attended. She explained that her husband did not tell her in-laws about her mental disease until after one of her in-laws developed a mental illness. Knowing that Carla had to hide her disease from her family was upsetting because mental illnesses should not be an issue that stays hidden.…
