ELIZABETH, N.J., Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Ernesto said this about his book: «As a child, Ernesto was curious about Japan and New York. That dream accompanied him during his childhood on a farm where he lived countless adventures. More than once, he helped someone whose life was in danger. He lost his father and had to drop out of school and worked from a young age. His frustrated first love pushed him to decide to be a sailor, and although the task was difficult, he managed to get used to life on the high seas. He met the ports in Central and South America, the United States, and Canada. His curiosity drove him to know the people and the places they arrived at.

Sometimes the dangers were in the sailor trade. An accident took him to the hospital for several days. At last, he came to the country he dreamed of knowing, Japan, which impressed him with its culture and history. Rheumatoid arthritis began to affect his knees. Sometime later, his merchant marine career would come to an end.

Ernesto remembers that through the years sailing, some nights he went out on the deck and looked in solitude at the waters of the sea illuminated by the light given by the moon. He looked up and saw the shining stars and contemplating this beautiful spectacle. He felt peace and joy in all his being.»

Published by Page Publishing, Ernesto Lescano’s new book Memorias, Historias Y Aventuras De Un Marino Mercante will enlighten readers on the author’s profound and awe-inspiring life as a merchant sailor who has fulfilled his aspirations amid trials and illness.

Nelson’s New Book «Rage From Within» Is A Gripping Disposition Of The Lives Of The Cuban People That Drove Them To Untimely Deaths

NEW YORK, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Nelson, a prolific writer who received a Christian and academic education in Cuba, has completed his new book «Rage from Within»: a compelling novel that shows the harrowing history of Cuba under dictatorship and persecution that pushed its citizens to take their lives and feel hopeless.

Author Nelson reveals the deplorable state of Cuba during a time of great suffering caused by an abusive and corrupt government: «This sensational piece of love and death is totally veridic and shows the cruelty of a slave country by a dictator who, without mercy, oppresses and kills the people from hunger, thirst, injustice, and violating the human rights, taking the Cuban people to suicide through the need and desperation. This book shows the real life of Cuba; it shows how the people are tortured and without hope that one day they could be freed or liberated from the yoke that made them die prematurely through suicide. And each day, the oppression against Cubans’ human rights grew. This book shows the inequality in Cuba compared with other countries that are not slave or ruled by a dictator. This piece is written following the sadness and suffering from Cuba

Published by Page Publishing, Nelson’s no-holds-barred tale bears an impassioned journey through overwhelming suffering and loss of human rights due to the lackluster and depravity of people drunk with power and greed.

Readers who wish to experience this eye-opening work can purchase «Rage from Within» at bookstores everywhere or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.

Blue Shield of California’s BlueSky Initiative and DoSomething.org Launch First-Ever Mental Health Tips Guide for Students by Students

OAKLAND, California, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California’s BlueSky Initiative, in partnership with DoSomething.org – the largest organization for young people and social change – launched a first-of-its-kind <a target="_blank"…

OAKLAND, California, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Shield of California’s BlueSky Initiative, in partnership with DoSomething.org – the largest organization for young people and social change – launched a first-of-its-kind digital mental-health guide for youth, created for students by students. The guide provides young people with peer-to-peer tips on self-care, managing stress from digital learning, and supporting the mental health of fellow classmates.

BlueSky

With COVID-19 disrupting schooling for more than 55 million students across the United States, DoSomething.org, and the BlueSky Initiative called on their members to submit advice to help students during these difficult times. This campaign, entitled «The New State of Mind,» ran from April through June of this year and generated just under 75,000 tips.

«When we initially launched this campaign with DoSomething, we had no idea how turbulent this school year would be for millions of students, as well as their teachers and parents,» says Bryce Williams, vice president of Mind Body Medicine at Blue Shield of California. «What ‘The New State of Mind’ proves is that young people were not just anxious about the new reality of distance learning and everyday stressors, they were also committed to finding an outlet to talk about their troubles and offer solutions that would not just help them, but help others too.»

The BlueSky Initiative is a multi-year commitment by Blue Shield of California to help put more services into schools to support teens and address youth mental health issues. The release of the guide comes as year two of the program gets underway – following a successful inaugural campaign that saw more than 450 students receive counseling and over 800 teachers trained in mental health awareness.

In addition to publishing the digital mental-health guide for youth, DoSomething and BlueSky created a data-driven report for parents and teachers that highlights students’ mental health concerns and trends since shelter-in-place orders became widespread in March. Through the thousands of submissions, three themes remained consistent across New State of Mind: self-care, remote learning and helping loved ones. Sample tips from across these three core topics include:

  • Find a creative outlet (from stress baking and planting, to coloring and podcasting)
  • Get moving and get outside (a walk around the block, a run, or jumping rope)
  • Expressing emotions (whether it is space to cry, or listening to music to calm down)
  • Reach out when you need help (face-timing with friends or joining online support groups to meet new ones)
  • Put aside time for you, but also make time for others (creating a schedule that builds in work and play, to journaling, and being more mindful of others’ unique needs)

As one 17-year-old DoSomething member named Alexander notes in the guide, «My plan is to keep in touch with my friends and really pay attention so if I notice if they act differently or become depressed, I can be sure they get help before something tragic happens. The signs are usually there if someone is looking and it’s more important than ever now.»

«This guide comes at a time where young people really needed it most. They are stressed, they are scared, and they are sad,» says Sahara Lake, senior manager of community impact with DoSomething.org. «But what we also found is that there is also a lot of hope among young people. They share great advice on how to grapple with stress, and how to continue to move forward, and that’s a good thing.»

«For anyone dealing with stress or any type of mental health issue, I would like them to know that you are not alone. We can work together as a community to overcome these hardships,» says Colleen, an 18-year-old DoSomething member. «This campaign helped me to reflect on positive energy and thoughts instead of all the negatives, and I’m sure it will do the same for those who pick it up and read it today.»

La iniciativa BlueSky de Blue Shield of California y DoSomething.org lanza la primera guía de consejos de salud mental escrita para y por los estudiantes

OAKLAND, California, 1 de septiembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La iniciativa BlueSky de Blue Shield of California, en colaboración con DoSomething.org, la principal organización dedicada a los jóvenes y al cambio social, lanzó una <a target="_blank"…

OAKLAND, California, 1 de septiembre de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — La iniciativa BlueSky de Blue Shield of California, en colaboración con DoSomething.org, la principal organización dedicada a los jóvenes y al cambio social, lanzó una original guía digital de salud mental juvenil, creada por y para los estudiantes. La guía ofrece a los jóvenes consejos de coetáneos sobre el cuidado personal, el control del estrés provocado por el aprendizaje digital y el apoyo a la salud mental de sus compañeros de clase.

BlueSky

Debido a que el COVID-19 interrumpió la escolarización de más de 55 millones de estudiantes en los Estados Unidos, DoSomething.org y la iniciativa BlueSky solicitaron a sus miembros que enviaran consejos para ayudar a los estudiantes en estos momentos difíciles. Esta campaña, titulada «The New State of Mind», estuvo activa de abril a junio de este año y generó alrededor de 75,000 consejos.

«Cuando inicialmente lanzamos esta campaña con DoSomething, no teníamos idea de lo turbulento que sería este año escolar para millones de estudiantes, así como para sus maestros y padres», dice Bryce Williams, vicepresidente de Medicina Mente-Cuerpo en Blue Shield of California. «Lo que ‘The New State of Mind’ demuestra es que los jóvenes no sólo estaban ansiosos por la nueva realidad de la educación a distancia y los factores estresantes cotidianos, sino que también deseaban encontrar un medio de desahogo para hablar de sus problemas y ofrecer soluciones que los ayudaran a ellos mismos y a los demás».

Con su iniciativa BlueSky, Blue Shield of California asumió un compromiso a largo plazo de ayudar a aumentar los servicios disponibles en las escuelas para apoyar a los adolescentes y abordar los problemas de salud mental juvenil. La publicación de la guía llega en el segundo año del programa, después de una exitosa campaña inaugural en la que más de 450 estudiantes participaron en sesiones de terapia psicológica y más de 800 maestros recibieron capacitación en concientización sobre salud mental.

Además de publicar la guía digital de salud mental juvenil, DoSomething y BlueSky crearon un informe detallado para padres y maestros que destaca las inquietudes y tendencias en materia de salud mental de los estudiantes desde que se implementaron las órdenes de confinamiento en marzo. Entre los miles de consejos presentados, hay tres temas que se mantuvieron consistentes en New State of Mind: cuidado personal, educación a distancia y ayuda a los seres queridos. A continuación, se incluyen algunos consejos para estos tres temas centrales:

  • Encontrar un medio de desahogo (pastelería, jardinería, libros para colorear y hacer podcasts).
  • Actividad física y aire libre (un paseo alrededor de la manzana, una carrera o saltar la cuerda).
  • Expresar las emociones (un espacio para llorar o escuchar música para calmarse).
  • Pedir ayuda cuando se la necesite (hablar con los amigos o participar en grupos de apoyo en línea para conocer gente nueva).
  • Dedicar tiempo a uno mismo, pero también a los demás (crear un horario que incluya tiempo para el estudio y para la diversión, escribir en un diario personal y ser más conscientes de las necesidades de los demás).

Alexander, un miembro de DoSomething de 17 años de edad, señala en la guía: «Mi plan es mantenerme en contacto con mis amigos y prestarles mucha atención, de modo que, si noto que están raros o deprimidos, me aseguraré de que reciban ayuda antes de que ocurra algo trágico. Las señales suelen estar ahí si uno las observa y ahora es más importante que nunca».

«Esta guía se publica en un momento en el que los jóvenes realmente la necesitaban, ya que están estresados, atemorizados y tristes», dice Sahara Lake, gerente principal de impacto comunitario en DoSomething.org. «Pese a esto, también descubrimos que tienen mucha esperanza. Comparten consejos prácticos sobre cómo enfrentar el estrés y cómo seguir avanzando, y eso es algo positivo».

«Me gustaría que todas las personas que estén sufriendo el estrés o cualquier tipo de problema de salud mental supieran que no están solas. Podemos colaborar como comunidad para superar estas dificultades», dice Colleen, un miembro de DoSomething de 18 años de edad. «Esta campaña me ayudó a reflexionar sobre la energía y los pensamientos positivos en vez de todos los negativos, y estoy segura de que tendrá el mismo efecto en aquellos que la lean hoy».
