Major Jenkins spoke about the Manor Lord system of England, its history, and its value in modern times. Also, that night several honors and promotions were delivered. The Rev. Carol S. Anderson, K.O.H.S., D.M.St. Uriel House was fueled by the vision of the Right Hon. H.S., whose dream of providing a spiritually based environment for this under served population provided the drive and inspiration for this project.
Dual diagnosis is a relatively newly recognized population within the mental health community.
A percentage of the mentally ill have difficulty adhering to the rigid medication regime necessary to maintain their stability. With some, it is the unpleasant side-effects experienced as a result of certain psychotropic medications which leads to discontinuation. With others, it is simply an inability to remember to take the medications at all. As a result, some will self-medicate with alcohol or street drugs leading to physical addictions in addition to the already existing mental illness. Very few programs are designed to treat both problems, the vast majority are geared for either one or the other.
