    Utilizing a website to deliver their message is a plus especially with the current generation of students; except that in order to empower people and make a significant difference more resources are required in term of more scientific findings and even public exposure in terms of advertisements. Moreover, the approach the program takes in providing links for counselling groups, the various treatment options available for each form of anxiety disorder and the numerous self tests that it encourages individuals to take and present to their physician, is phenomenal (2007). I have known someone who suffers from this disorder and the treatment options suggested are still relevant given that the website is 9 years old. Furthermore, the self diagnosis is a great tool for individuals who are timid and are afraid to share their crisis verbally. One of the great features of the Student Zone that I would’ve liked expanded to include more information on is the section titled “How to help a friend” (2007).…

    It is fascinating how children form attachment with their parents or caregivers. Even though a child forms an attachment with someone this attachment can be effected by situations such as rejection or abuse. As history has shown the children who were in the Romanian orphanages, without any personal interaction these children never experienced the important synchrony required to establish a healthy attachment with a caregiver (Berger, 2014). Unfortunately, children in 2017 with all the knowledge and resources we have available still face similar experiences of rejection at home from their own parents. When this happens, chances are these children will form an insecure or disorganized attachment; children who develop attachment disorders typically exhibit dangerous or destructive behaviors (Pickover,…
