"Ahoy Mateyst" Captain Austin Persinger and his first mate,
Kristina Fe rguson, of the Summers County Public Library, sailed
by Hinton Area Elementary on Monday, Oct. 10, 2016, for their
Title I Parent Night. The two pirates performed an interactive read
aloud of the book, Pirates Don't Wear Diapers which actively
engaged the students in the performance. Parents and students
who enjoyed the presentation received read aloud tips to use at
home. During the event titled "Pizza with Parents", everyone
shared pizza, received door prizes, and shopped the Bookaneer
book fair. HAE would like to say, "Aye, Aye, Captainl" to Austin
and Kristina for a job well done.

nection with the animals who

Fifteen Steps Toward Protecting Children's Mental Health
(NAPS)--Although half of adult
mental, emotional and behavioral
disorders begin before age 14,
there are signs that parents can
watch for and 15 steps they can
take to help their own kids.
The Problem
Some 10 million adults and 2
million teenagers have a serious
mental illness, while more than
23 million people have needed
treatment for substance use. By
2020, mental and substance use
disorders are expected to surpass
all physical diseases as a major
cause of disability worldwide. In
addition, drug and alcohol use can
lead to other chronic diseases such
as diabetes and heart disease.
Addressing the effects of sub-
stance use alone is estimated to
cost Americans more than $600
billion each year.
The Reason
People have biological and psy-
chological characteristics that can
make them vulnerable or resilient
to potential behavioral health
problems. Qualities like positive
self-image, self-control or strong
social connections can all help dur-
ing times when behavioral health
might be challenged. According to
the experts at the Substance
Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA), an
agency within the U.S. Depart-
ment of Health and Human Ser-
vices, symptoms of mental disor-
ders change over time as a child
grows, and may include difficulties
with how a child plays, learns,
speaks and acts, or how the child
handles emotions.

ing National Children's Mental
Health Awareness Day..
4. Give your child attention
and praise when she follows
instructions and shows positive
behavior and limit attention for
defiant behavior.
5. Let your child help with
simple chores.
6. Encourage your child to play
with other children.
7. Talk with your school-age
child about school, friends, and
things she looks forward to. Help
her set her own achievable goals.
8. Talk with your child about
respecting others. Encourage him
to think about possible conse-
quences before acting.
9. Get involved with your
child's school. Meet the teachers
and understand how you can work
together to help your child.
10. Support your child in tak-
ing on new challenges. Encourage
her to solve problems on her own.
11. Encourage your child to

childhood development, "We are
finally making the connections
between a child's physical and
mental health and between the
mental health of a child and their
parents. We know what to do to
support a child's early learning
and health development and we
must do it together--right from
groups, participate in team
sports, or to take advantage of
volunteer opportunities.

things that friends might pressure
him to do, like smoking or danger-
ous physical dares. Try to meet

ings in health costs, criminal and

What's Being Done
To encourage more families to
know the signs of and seek solu-
tions to mental health and sub-
,stance abuse problems, particu-
larly in young people, SAMHSA
and other agencies are working on
ways to integrate services for
behavioral health, primary care,
child welfare and education--the

often noticed first.
Expert Advice
Said SAMHSA Administrator
Pamela S. Hyde, J.D., "When
providers and other professionals
who are interacting with a family
are communicating with each other,
dots are connected. When people
are talking, there is a real opportu-
nity to share information that can
promote resilience and recovery."
The importance of connecting
and discussing concerns was
echoed by singer and song~vriter
Mary Lambert, who recently
joined dignitaries in Washington,
D.C. to celebrate National Chil-
dren's Mental Health Awareness
Day, sponsored by SAMHSA.
Lambert spoke of her experiences
with mental illness, body image
and child trauma, saying, "I've
seen the hurt that so many .are
experiencing. Mental and sub-
stance use disorders can be
incredibly isolating. It's difficult
enough to fit in at school when
you have a unique style or point of
view. Once you've been branded
with a mental illness or substance
use issue, it's hard to get out from
under the judgment and segrega-
tion." Her openness and promo-
tion of self-care and positive body
image have resonated with fans.
The event kicked off with a
special message by Howie Mandel,
who was the first honorary chair
in 2005. "I just wish there wasn't
the start." Based on advice, in
SAMHSA publications "Strength-
ening Parenting and Enhancing
Child Resilience" and "Recovery
