No Rest, No Relaxation: My Week at a Sleep Clinic

No Rest, No Relaxation: My Week at a Sleep Clinic

Published by Sam Flores

“Dress for rehab,” my colleague Elise told me when she heard I was about to leave for six days at the clinic Mayrlife in Austria. I didn’t know if I should be offended that I knew the kind of sweatpants-forward look she was referring to, even though I have never been to rehab. I was viewing my week closer to a week in rehab than, say, a spa vacation. I have been to many spas from Türkiye to Tucson and am familiar with the water aerobics and climbing gyms and hot-stone massages, and fruit breakfasts, and especially the enforced collective bonding through deprivation and physical effort, and sharing our feelings. So many feelings. Mayrlife prided itself in offering none of that. Mayrlife, which is in central Austria, about 90 minutes from Salzburg, calls itself a health resort promising “an enhanced outlook on life.” They specialize in the ominous sounding The Mayr Cure, which is an elaborate detox much of which is centered around gut health and the microbiome; medical treatments both esoteric and commonplace; and …

Radical Healing: From the Clinic to the Classroom

Radical Healing: From the Clinic to the Classroom

Published by Jenni Sidey

Post by Janet Gu, Saleha Mian, Soe Young Lee, and Michael A. Medina (Boston University). For youth of color, psychological well-being is often a community effort. Whether they live in an ethnic enclave or attend a racially diverse school, a young person’s emotional health may depend largely on their engagement with the communities around them. Yet supporting this process may require educators to deviate from traditional teaching methods that focus primarily on avoiding discrimination or reducing harm. While necessary, these approaches rarely envision schools as sites of empowerment, agency, and joy. A potentially more positive alternative for educators may already exist in the counseling practice of radical healing. What Is Radical Healing? The radical healing framework defines psychological well-being and community advocacy as complementary (French et al., 2020). Initially applied in counseling psychology, this practice encourages clinical practitioners to guide youth in drawing strength, support, and well-being from their social connections during times of cultural trauma. For youth of color, this trauma can take many forms: experiences of discrimination, exposure to negative stereotypes, erasure or …

A child cries after his father is detained by federal agents as they left an immigration court hearing at the Jacob K. Javits Federal Building on August 26, 2025 in New York City. The Trump administration’s immigration crackdown continues nationwide. Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images As the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown stretches into its second year, researchers and health care workers say that it is creating a mental health crisis in immigrant communities. Data from one primary care clinic in Los Angeles, shared exclusively with NPR, shows a sharp rise in anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts among patients. “When we look at our data during periods of intensified enforcement, our screening data showed a clear rise in distress,” says Sophia Pages, a licensed marriage and family therapist and executive director of behavioral health at Zocalo Health, a primary care organization with a network of clinics California and Maryland. Zocalo mainly serves Latino families on Medicaid. “Immigration enforcement is functioning as a real time public health stressor in the …

But can you get the same thorough testing as you would in, say, Harley Street? I signed up to find out. When I turned up at the clinic, I was greeted with a café-style reception, instead of a clinical setting, before we went through a series of tests, including blood biomarkers, cardiovascular fitness, musculoskeletal performance and even mental health. Same tests, just a different, less pricey postcode. Source link

Suicide Clinic Helping Grieving Mother Die Promotes Death-on-Demand Culture

Suicide Clinic Helping Grieving Mother Die Promotes Death-on-Demand Culture

Published by Jenni Sidey

This republished article first appeared in the National Review A grieving mother who is in good health has been accepted for termination by a Swiss suicide clinic. From the New York Post story: A physically healthy British woman heartbroken over the death of her only son is heading to Switzerland to end her own life at an assisted suicide clinic. Wendy Duffy, 56, attempted to take her own life after her son died four years ago — but is soon bound for Switzerland, where assisted suicide is legal, after her application was accepted by a clinic, according to the London Times. Duffy, a former care worker from the West Midlands, told the Daily Mail that she paid Pegasos, a Swiss assisted-dying nonprofit organization, $13,500 to euthanize herself under its care, saying suicide is the only way her “spirit can be free.” Thirteen grand! A lot of money is being made by Swiss suicide clinics accommodating the death desires of despairing people. Suicide is becoming romanticized: She’s already chosen what she will wear on her deathbed and told the Daily Mail that Lady …
