Willy was so mad at his brother Eggie. He said he wouldn't take him Trick or Treating! Boy, that stinks! His mom was sick in bed with a bad cold and his Dad was at work. His Mom said he was too young to go alone. That is what she said last year too! He had spent a lot of time at the second-hand store getting his costume ready. He found one of those red ball rubber noses and he planned to paint his cheeks red and use the white paint his mom used for crafts to circle his eyes. He would be all...
Even though I've dedicated my life to the concept of healing, after graduate school classes and lived experience, I realized just how hard of a topic this is to cover. It was important to me to share just how hard it is for a survivor to heal, and I hope that by learning about domestic violence, you understand how complex this topic is. In order for me to share what healing is, I decided to go inward. Here is a piece of my story. Here is what healing means to me. When I first started "healing,"...
Join Whitehall/Cardwell non-profit We Are HER for a free workshop on unpacking shame: What we never talk about in regard to shame is where it stems from and how many of us were dealing with it at a young age. Many of us have been navigating life with a subconscious level of internalized shame. It is what keeps us in cycles and attached to relationships and places that no longer align with us. It is time to peel back the layers we have been operating with and really understand where this shame...

The journey has not been easy for the Whitehall resident, but today Mindy is thankful for the compassionate care she received from St. James Healthcare. She highlighted the Wound Care Clinic for helping to care for her radiation burns and the...
Here’s a statistic to be unhappy about: Colorado and Utah host the fifth and sixth most expensive housing markets in the country, according to Bankrate.com. Montana is not far behind as the ninth most expensive. But here’s the good news: two rural housing champions in those states have found creative ways to build affordable housing. Moab, Utah, sited along the Colorado River, draws at least 5 million tourists annually for mountain biking, rafting, four-wheeling, and visiting two nearby national parks. But the town’s real estate has long been...

We Are HER is a non-profit based out of Cardwell that helps survivors of abuse or assault heal after trauma. Today I’d like to discuss healing. While I won’t get into any explicit details on trauma, I do want to issue a trigger warning to those in the audience as I will be defining different aspects of intimate partner violence. But first, I want to start by defining what a survivor is. Before I started doing this work, I remember my college showed us a PSA of a survivor. This woman had a bla...
October is medical ultrasound awareness month. The 20-week ultrasound for parents-to-be is an exciting visit– it’s when they usually find out if they’re having a boy or girl. But parents should know there’s far more importance to the 20-week ultrasound. “The 20-week fetal ultrasound is a crucial milestone in prenatal care. In addition to being an opportunity for the parents to figure out the baby’s gender if they choose to do so, it is the moment where we ensure the health of the developing baby,” said Ibrahim Hammad, MD, a maternal-fetal medic...

Recently I have been having a weird craving for brains. Probably because Halloween is coming up. On the other hand, maybe it's because so many people say I could use some. In either case, 'tis the season. About a week ago I got bitten by a creepy looking raccoon. It was walking on its hind legs, with its paws hanging loose from its front legs. I could see it was missing teeth, had glassy eyes, and walked really stiffly and slowly. It also smelled like it was dead. I tried to run, but it was like I was in a trance and couldn't move. After it...
