Helping Men Recover is the first gender-responsive, trauma-informed treatment program for men. The materials, based on the widely used, evidence-based women's curriculum, Helping Women Recover, are grounded in research, theory, and clinical practice. Included in this package are a facilitator's guide and a participant's workbook. This version of Helping Men Recover has been specifically developed for men in the criminal justice system. Presented in an eighteen-session format, the facilitator's guide offers a step-by-step manual that contains the theory, structure, and content needed to run effective groups. The participant's workbook is designed so that men can process, record, and refer back to their therapeutic experience. The program model is organized into four modules: self, relationships, sexuality, and spirituality. These are the four areas that recovering men have identified as triggers for relapse and as necessary for growth and healing. In addition, all the materials are designed to be user-friendly and self-instructive. Praise for Helping Men Recover "This is a needed tool for every prison and jail administrator who is determined to release individuals from custody with a better chance of success."—Martin F. Horn, distinguished lecturer, John Jay College, New York City; former Commissioner of Corrections and Probation, City of New York; former Secretary of Corrections, Pennsylvania "This unique gender-responsive approach offers a practical guide to the successful treatment of the often overlooked trauma that many incarcerated males have experienced."—Tom Combs, administrator, Substance Abuse Services Section, Michigan Department of Corrections "Helping Men Recover is an excellent, easy-to-use resource for any professional working with men in residential and nonresidential treatment programs."—Paul Kivel, author, Men's Work: How to Stop the Violence that Tears Our Lives Apart and the Men's Work curriculum

The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) has a pronounced seasonal cycle, drifting from the Southern Hemisphere in boreal winter to the Northern Hemisphere in boreal summer, with a maximum intensity during boreal winter in the Southern Hemisphere. The reason for this maximum intensity during boreal winter is not fully understood. In this study we perturbed the seasonal cycle in the Superparameterized Community Atmosphere Model, which reasonably represents the MJO, by changing Earth's orbital parameters. In response to the orbital forcing, boreal winter mean precipitation increases, consistent with a stronger Hadley circulation, and the mean lower-tropospheric westerly winds shift southward over the Indo-Pacific warm pool. The increase in the tropical precipitation variance are explained using the linearized approximation of the non-linear moisture-precipitation relationship. The increase in the tropical precipitation variance is mostly due to a decrease in the convective moisture adjustment timescale, which is mainly due to the increase in mean precipitation. The seasonal cycle of the MJO is amplified, with the largest increases in the MJO's precipitation variance occuring during boreal winter. The changes in the convective moisture adjustment timescale and MJO scale moisture predict a larger increase in the MJO precipitation variance than in the tropical precipitation variance. Additionally, a weaker damping effect from the latent heat flux is found due to the southward shift in the mean lower tropospheric westerlies.

This study aimed to examine who participates in extreme obstacle courses (EOCs) and why. Drawing from the Big Five theory of personality, and the self-determination theory of motivation, this study examined the interaction of individual difference variables (IDVs) and motivation in a sample of 79 people interested in running extreme obstacle courses. Specifically, demographics, extraversion, openness to experience, general self-efficacy, and physical self efficacy were examined regarding how they relate to the number of EOCs participants run, and whether they run for intrinsically motivated reasons. Findings suggest that most participants were male, European-American and of high SES. The majority reported being intrinsically motivated (with "fun" being the most frequently endorsed reason for being interested in or having participated in EOCs). Extraversion was significantly positively correlated with intrinsic motivation, and significantly negatively correlated with the combination of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and physical self-efficacy was marginally related to the number of EOCs participants run. No interactions between personality variables and motivations were found to affect number of EOCs ran. Interpretations of these and other findings, as well as study limitations, are discussed.

Voices was created to address the unique needs of adolescent girls and young women. It encourages them to seek and celebrate their ""true selves"" by providing a safe space, encouragement, structure, and the support they need to embrace their journeys of self-discovery. The program includes modules on self, connecting with others, healthy living, and the journey ahead. It is used in many settings (e.g., outpatient and residential substance abuse treatment, schools, juvenile justice, and private practice).Voices is based on the realities of girls' lives and the principles of gender responsivity; it is also grounded in theory, research, and clinical experience. The Voices curriculum advocates a strength-based approach and uses a variety of therapeutic approaches, including psychoeducational, cognitive-behavioural, and expressive arts. The facilitator's guide includes: background information about young women, gender-responsive principles, and the theoretical foundation of the program information about running the eighteen group sessions that are the core of the program (the structure and content for each topic and activity) a program overview and lists of materials needed for the sessions The program materials also can be used to train staff members in working with girls. The participant's journal utilizes a research-based process called Interactive Journaling� which is listed on SAMHSA's National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (NREPP) website. The summary is available on the NREPP web site. In the context of girls' lives, structured journaling provides an outlet for creativity, personal expression, exploration, and application of new concepts and skills.
