Updates from Utah Gov - Organizations

It’s that time of year. Summer is winding down, and before you know it, kids will be heading back to school. While this can be an exciting time, it can also be nerve-wracking for kids who have been targeted by bullies—leading to more than 160,000 students missing school every day. So how can you tell if your child is being bullied, and what can you do about it? Award-winning psychotherapist Dr. Deborah Sandella has the answers.

“Bullying is toxic. I have seen its lasting psychological impacts on my patients as children, and as they grow into adults,” says Dr. Sandella, author of Goodbye Hurt & Pain. “As parents, we need to look out for the signs and help our kids address the problem in a healthy way.”

Available for interviews, Q&As, and bylines, Dr. Sandella can address:

• The short and long-term physical and psychological effects of bullying throughout a person’s lifetime; how the traumatic memory can be regenerated
• How to identify whether your child is a victim of bullying—key signs that are red flags that something is wrong
• The psychological reasons behind a child who has become a bully, and factors that can intensify their aggression
• The 4 actions that suspected bullies should take whenever they’re feeling angry.
• What to do if you witness bullying, and how your presence can have an impact on the situation

• SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, USA, August 4, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Intermountain Healthcare announces the implementation of a cancer immunotherapy program. According to Terence Rhodes, MD, PhD and Director of Immuno-Oncology at Intermountain Healthcare, “Immunotherapy is therapy that helps the patient’s immune system in its fight against cancer. Immunotherapy can either take the brakes off the immune system or teach the immune system how to fight.”

  Intermountain Healthcare already delivers approved immunotherapies, yet they are also investing in the future with regard to research and development through the cancer immunotherapy program. “A handful of immunotherapies have been approved for years for certain types of cancer,” said Dr. Rhodes. “However, Intermountain Healthcare has been instrumental in building a program that will provide additional research and clinical trials to cancer patients.” One of the objectives in immuno-oncology is to help tailor more treatment therapies targeted to work with the body’s immune system for a positive outcome and provide clinical trial opportunities to as many cancer patients as possible.

  At Intermountain Healthcare, physicians and scientists are able to perform research and help patients live the healthiest lives possible. Dr. Rhodes added, “Because Intermountain Healthcare is an integrated health system, as opposed to an academic center in the traditional sense, at Intermountain we have the opportunity to create partnerships with academic institutions so we can push the therapy forward and bring immunotherapy to more patients. This is somewhat unique for an integrated health system.”

  California City, CA - August 5, 2016 - Melodic hardcore six piece Set Your Goals has announced that they will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of their critically acclaimed debut album Mutiny! with a series of special anniversary shows this December. The east coast shows, taking place in Boston, Philadelphia, and New York City, will feature Misser as direct support, as well as Like Pacific, Can't Swim, and Search Party (Zac Eisenstein from Man Overboard). Tickets go on sale next Tuesday, August 9th at 11am EST, and can be purchased, here: setyourgoalsband.com.

   

  Vocalist Jordan Brown shares: "Hey guys! As you know, SYG is back in action. We took three years off to collect ourselves. Weren't sure if we'd ever get back together, but we did it. It just felt right. It was a big part of our lives.

   

  We are excited to be booking these Mutiny! shows, where we will play the album in full, plus another list of songs from our other releases."

  In addition to the upcoming shows, the band will be honoring Mutiny! with a fresh 10th anniversary reissue in 4 limited variants and special, newly-envisioned cover art. The vinyl reissue will be released September 30th via SmartPunk, and can be pre-ordered starting next Tuesday, August 9th.

   

  Mutiny! was originally released on July 11, 2006. It was the band's first full-length album, and it ignited a shift in momentum for not only Set Your Goals, but also the genre the band prescribed itself to. The album's eleven songs nodded respectfully to the band's predecessors while championing a fresh, unique perspective. It captivated listeners and critics alike, and ushered in a new wave of pop punk where Set Your Goals' influence can still be regularly heard.

   

  Set Your Goals' Mutiny!-era line-up - Jordan Brown (vocals), Matt Wilson (vocals), Joe Saucedo (bass), Audelio Flores (guitar), Daniel Coddaire (guitar), and Mike Ambrose (drums) - plan to pick up on the momentum they created in 2006 via these special Mutiny! anniversary shows, reinvigorating the electricity it spawned. During a time where many attempt to recapture the spark that was once there, the air around Set Your Goals is still certainly charged and tingling.
