100 years after over 1300 of WILPF’s founding women first came together in The Hague in protest of World War I, we still live in a world where women’s voices and experiences are excluded, bringing continued violence and war.

What give me cause for concern are the underlying expectations we often have … [Read more...]

Here is Your Prescription…, Larry James
February 24, 2015 by
On the hit TV show, "Elementary," Sherlock, after lots of banter back and forth with his shrink, his psychiatrist abruptly said, "Hour's up!" and handed him a prescription.

Curiosity, Goodness for Mental Health
January 30, 2015 by
"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing." -- Albert Einstein It's no secret that curiosity makes learning more effective and enjoyable.
