Approximately 7.7 million American adults suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Those who suffer often refuse to seek help for fear of being labeled with PTSD by society. Quite often, they become isolated from family and friends, and may fear being ostracized by co-workers. Such actions frequently lead to mental well-being challenges in one’s personal life, as well as in their professional work environment. Rock Painting Therapy: A Soldier’s Journey to Improved Mental Health is both a military memoir and a suggested self-help therapy option for PTSD symptoms, such as anxiety, restlessness, flashbacks, nightmares, and social adaptability issues. Here, Robert P. Chappell, Jr., a veteran of U.S. military combat, offers readers an insider’s real-life view of an individual who transformed from an Army Reservist to a combat active-duty soldier, navigating the challenges of assimilating back into peacetime and civilian life. Chappell offers a positive cognitive approach to mental wellness through rock painting by sharing strategies in selecting and designing rocks, varying ways to hide the artwork for the enjoyment of others, and the excitement in finding artistical treasures created by others in the rock art community. Among other things, Rock Painting Therapy: A Soldier’s Journey to Improved Mental Health explains: • how rock painting can provide a therapeutic outlet for stress; • the benefits of imprinting positive cognitive experiences over negative past memories; • the techniques of selecting the perfect rocks, gathering the proper rock painting supplies, how to preserve the paint on rocks, where to hide rocks and safe rock adventures; and • the adventures of rock hiding and social media clubs.
Child identity theft is the fastest growing type of identity theft, a crime that affects some 10 million people annually. Each year more than 500,000 children are affected by identity theft – half of them under age six. Countless other cases go unreported because the thief is a relative or parent of the victim. This devastating crime can wreak havoc on a child's future opportunities; it can be difficult to prove, and even harder to undo the damage that has been done. Child Identity Theft speaks to parents everywhere, the majority of whom have no idea that their children's identities have become such prime targets for thieves and criminals. Here, a veteran law enforcement professional and expert in child identity theft offers parents, educators, law enforcement officials, and others who care for or work with children an inside look at the ways in which children are vulnerable to identity thieves. Chappell presents the vital information in a question and answer format, offering not just information about how child identity theft happens, but also how to prevent it from happening, and what to do if it does. Among other things, Child Identity Theft explains: how a loophole in the national credit reporting system allows criminals to target innocent children for their creditworthiness; the variety of forms that child identity theft can take; the hidden techniques that thieves use to gain children's identities and personal information; which children are at a higher risk for identity theft; and how an increasing number of child identity thefts are perpetrated by parents and relatives. This book reveals the reality of child identity theft and the steps we all should take to protect our children and ourselves. How many victimized children are out there out there waiting to be discovered? Has your child been victimized? One hopes not, but if so, this book will give you the tools to find out and get help.
