    National Alliance on Mental Illness - YavapaiPrescott AZ (November 22, 2021) – Holiday stress will be the topic of the next Mental Health Monday on November 29th, 10-11:30 AM, via Zoom. Holidays and stress seem to go together, especially with the added stress of the Covid-19 pandemic which may make this time of year more challenging. Join us for this presentation to find out how holiday stress affects different populations and ways to reduce that stress. Three speakers will be featured:

    Michael King — Licensed Professional Counselor who holds a master’s degree in counseling and a bachelor’s degree in youth and human service administration. His counseling experiences have included working with children, adolescents and adults in coping with a variety of relationship problems, mental health, and substance use disorders.

    Daryl Butricks — Person with lived recovery experience who has worked in the mental health field with West Yavapai Guidance Clinic (now Polara Health), CODAC and most recently as the Region Program Manager for NAZCARE.  Daryl worked for the Juvenile Probation Department for 19 years as a Detention Supervisor and Legal Office Manager. After a career with Probation, he began working in the mental health field doing therapy work for substance use and recovery centers.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
