A handful of resources

If you or someone you know is dealing with a physical disability, check out a new book, "Coping with Physical Loss and Disability: A Workbook," by Rick Ritter, a disabled veteran and social worker. The book is published by Loving Healing Press. See http://www.lovinghealing.com.

Educators, youth leaders and others will appreciate knowing about an organization that offers an amazing number of free resources for addressing youth violence. The organization is National Youth Violence Prevention Center, and the web site is http://www.safeyouth.org.

Here's a site that's always looking for counselors, consultants and trainers with sensitivities to ethnic groups and specific cultural traditions. If you are a professional who would like to be listed, go to http://www.ethniccounselors.com and look for the "register here" prompt. I'm on the list and I think this a great resource.

The American Bar Association’s Commission on Domestic Violence has published a new tool to help attorneys screen for domestic violence. Attorneys who provide individual representation can use the new resource to identify whether a client is a victim of abuse. Click here to access this tool.
