The evidence is increasingly clear that persons with mental health challenges do better when they involve their family or other support persons in their care.

Who qualifies as my family?

The VA considers "family" to be anyone to whom the Veteran feels close and who supports them in their recovery journey, whether kin or not.

Finding Family Services:

It can be confusing for Veterans and their families and support persons to find the most appropriate program or community resource that helps not only the individual Veteran but also addresses various family issues. Several current CAVHS programs work with the Veteran’s family in addition to working with the Veteran. Wherever you receive services, be sure to ask them about how they work with families.

 Mental health recovery 
 

What does recovery mean for persons with diagnosed mental or substance use disorders?  

Most of us have heard about recovery from addition to substances, because this term has been used for years in 12-step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. However, in recent years, the term “recovery” has also been applied to persons with diagnosable mental illnesses. Basically, it refers to the idea that any person, regardless of their illness or symptoms, has the right to have choices and to participate in their treatment, so that they can work toward life goals that are meaningful to them.
	 
A key idea is that each person is responsible for their own recovery. While providers may offer expertise and valuable treatment, family and friends may offer important social support, and the community and government may assist with needed resources, it is always up to each person to take all those ingredients and use them to manage one’s life in ways that are most in tune with their individual values. Some persons may need more support than others, but all deserve the chance to take charge of their recovery journey at whatever level their strengths and motivation allow.
	 
Recovery also means that all persons, regardless of how severe their symptoms might be, should have hope of getting better or at least learning to manage their problems enough to be able to meet personal goals. To do so may well require not only treatment, but support from family or friends, and many other things that can improve their chances of “recovery.”
It’s foggy beach time on the Sonoma Coast
There are other important benefits to giant drifting banks of fog. It’s natural air conditioning. Temperatures at the foggy coast can be 20 degrees or more cooler than just 10 miles further inland. Cooler streams also help young salmon and other fish survive in pools through the hot dry season.

What’s making it foggy?
But why do we have fog in the summer? It forms here in the warmer months because the ocean’s surface is colder then. Seasonal winds stir cold water up from the depths, and when summer-warmed moist air meets that cold water, the moisture condenses into droplets, creating fog.
When inland temperatures spike, that hot air rises and pulls the fog onshore along the coast. Even inland parks like Helen Putnam Regional Park near Petaluma can see foggy mornings as the sea air rolls east through gaps in the coastal hills.
All that gloomy gray may put a damper on summer trips for beach visitors, but for life on the coast, fog is vital. Think of it as cloud bathing and a refreshing part of the natural California experience.

Try some new seaside destinations
Gualala Point Regional Park
The Gualala river meets the Pacific here at the northern corner of Sonoma County, just off Highway 1. In addition to hiking trails, a wide beach and bluff-top prairie meadows, there’s a cozy campground out of the wind along the river, where you can launch your kayak or just stretch out beneath towering redwoods and chandelier bay trees.
Sea Ranch Coastal Access
Along coast Highway 1 in The Sea Ranch community are a series of public trails that provide short walks to the ocean at six points (pictured above). The Shell Beach trail runs through pines and a meadow to a wide, sandy beach with tide pools. 
Stillwater Cove Regional Park
With 3 miles of hiking trails, a small campground, crescent beach and tidepools, the cove at Stillwater can be busy. But surrounded by forest with spectacular oceanfront and bluff top views, it’s a charming and magical destination. Walk inland along Stockhoff Creek on the Canyon Trail and you’ll pass through towering redwood groves.

Make a topographic map! | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
Admire your topo map!

 Compare the topographic map you have just made to the model mountain. Why are some of the traced lines closer together than others? What kind of slope gives you lines that are close together? What kind gives lines that are far apart? On your topographic map, where are the steepest slopes? Looking at your map, where would be the best place to build a trail to climb to the top of the mountain?

What do topo maps have to do with space?

 We can use a technology called imaging radar to help create a picture of the terrain on Earth—or any other planet. Imaging radar instruments are either flown over the land (or water) in an airplane, flown in space on the Space Shuttle, or put on a spacecraft and launched into orbit around the planet. 

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) flew aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour in February 2000. It passed over almost every point on Earth. It made radar images that scientists will use to make the best topo map ever made of Earth. It will take scientists a long time to study all the image data and up to two years to make the map.

Make a Balloon-powered Nanorover! | NASA Space Place – NASA Science for Kids
A little bump would make the nanorover bounce way up in the sky and could easily flip it over. So it needed to be designed to operate even if that happened.

If the nanorover were to flip over, its struts could rotate to put the wheels back down on the ground! Solar energy cells on its belly would be able to provide enough power to get it turned back over.
There was another clever thing about this design. When the struts moved the wheels close together, the body of the rover could rotate so that its camera pointed straight up or straight down.
The nanorover didn't just roll on its wheels. It hopped! The strut design let it hop 20 centimeters (8 inches) per second. Rolling, it could go only 1 millimeter per second in the tiny gravity of an asteroid. At this rate, it would take 18-1/2 days to go one mile! So, as you can see, The Space Place toy nanorover is a real hot rod!
Here is a computer animation of the nanorover hopping over a big crack.
Mental Health Summit - VA News
And that’s where you can really make a difference. It’s one thing for a Veteran to hear about VA services from us. It’s an entirely different thing for them to hear about VA services from you. Because you are the people in Veterans’ lives and communities every day. You pray with them, break bread with them, work with them, and spend time with them. You are the people they know and love. You are the people they trust. So, a recommendation from you can go a long way toward convincing a skeptical Veteran to give VA a try. And doing that, well, it can change their life. I’ll come back to this later. But please, check in with the Veterans in your life who may be going through a rough time. Visit VA.gov/REACH for resources, today. Everyone can be part of the solution and help save Veterans’ lives. Every interaction a Vet has with clergy, friends, family, strangers, or loved ones has the potential to save a life.
Let me continue. Steve closed his letter by saying,
“I’m sending this letter because I need [you] to know that [you’re] making a difference. Keep up the phenomenal job. Thank you for your dedication to Veterans. And for saving my life.”
Now, there’s so much to take away from that. What strikes me most is that Steve is trusting VA again and getting the care he earned, all because he connected with a faith leader he trusted.
And his story shows the impact VA providers and our partners—folks like all of you—are having in communities and neighborhoods around the country. Serving Veterans. Saving lives. It is a testament—pun intended—to the amazing colleagues and partners I am blessed to work with at VA. I have the privilege of seeing your inspiring work every single day.
I especially appreciate any opportunity I get to work with and hear from VA’s incredible chaplains. Spiritual care offers concrete health benefits—research shows that VA patients who have chaplains or faith leaders involved in their health care leave the hospital sooner and better manage their pain and stress.

French Fork Road, Muddy Bayou Road, powerline, known hunting zone, private areas, and Catahoula boundary. All right? So now if I come to this, I know that, oh, this map provides a whole bunch of information. So I’m really interested in the fishing pier. So now I can ask someone, where’s the fishing pier? Because now I know there is a fishing pier. So providing as much information as you can to make it as useful as possible for people to then follow up. It’s like, I want to know what’s in here so I know how to follow up on that map. All right, now we get to the really ugly one, and it’s the only one that’s not federal. This is from my state, the state of Washington. And I do have to say that one of the other things I love about the DOI and coming to the DOI buildings is coming from Seattle Washington, we’re really big on recycling and composting. And I think you guys are the only federal buildings that have the compost and the recycle, and I love that. So it speaks to my heart. All right, so let’s take a look at this map. You take the tag tree, and I’m going to select - there we go, all right. So here’s how I got the map. And this is the one that has the 4,000 different little things all identified. British Columbia, it managed to identify each letter individually. There’s all kinds of stuff on this. Okay, it’s a map. I don't care about all of that. So the first thing did - and I’m going to go back to the platform mic. The first thing I did was delete all of these tags that have to do with the map. And so I can sort of go down my tag tree here. And you’ll notice the lovely pink box is now around municipal stormwater permits, shoreline management plans, et cetera, et cetera. I want to keep that. That’s important stuff.
2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
Evaluation Criteria, Q 8. This would be a great place to bring up the RS2477 designation, so the public has guaranteed access and Tahoe National Forest can’t close it down. Evaluation Criteria, Q 9. Under ‘Hiking’ you mention access to the Pacific Crest Trail. That is an interesting observation since the Pacific Crest Trail crosses the Rubicon Trail and is independent from the Rubicon Trail, The Pacific Crest Trail does not need the Rubicon Trail to exist. Not sure what point you are trying to make here. Evaluation Criteria, Q 11. Partnerships. 4 or more organizations are being claimed. Rubicon Trail Foundation and Friends of the Rubicon, to our knowledge are the same entity. Rubicon Trail foundation is also receiving money from the grant, as it seems, volunteers will also receive money from the grant. How can you count one organization as 2 organizations and also be paid from the grant when the criteria state you cannot do that? We are not against the bypasses; we just believe there needs to be more transparency with access to the contract between Rubicon Trail Foundation and their chosen contractor and a written guarantee the new bypasses will have the RS2477 designation to protect the trail from closure. We also believe the old part of the trail should not be abandoned. We believe Tahoe National Forest and Rubicon Trail Foundation need to step back and take a little more time to do this correctly. Sincerely, Mark and Maria Barnes Maria Barnes - 4/30/2024

I am in favor of the large reroute if the identity of the trail is maintained. The existing route should remain open until it becomes unpassable. The other area should (the wet area) should be handled similar the other wet areas of the trail. Improved drainage, Gravel, etc. There is little need to reroute through this area. Thank you for your consideration Drew Becker Long time Rubicon Trail User Drew Becker - 4/30/2024

I fully support the Fordyce Cultural Study grant submitted by the Tahoe National Forest. This study is designed to seek historical evidence of activities that took place in and around the Fordyce Trail, but isn't designed to threaten, harm or stop travel on the trail.

 Hired Equipment

At times when the equipment needed to control an emergency incident exceeds the resources of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), the department hires the equipment and services of the private sector to supplement its own resources. In so doing, CAL FIRE attempts to obtain those resources that exactly meet the resource needs of the Incident Commander, at a price that is fair to the contractor and which represents a prudent expenditure of state taxpayer funds.

The intent of publishing and distributing this information is to provide all prospective Suppliers access to the terms and conditions for entering into an EERA with CAL FIRE.

Statement of Economic Interests - Form 700	

Every elected official and public employee who makes or influences governmental decisions is required to submit a Statement of Economic Interest, also known as the Form 700. The Form 700 provides transparency and ensures accountability in two ways:It provides necessary information to the public about an official’s personal financial interests to ensure that officials are making decisions in the best interest of the public and not enhancing their personal finances.It serves as a reminder to the public official of potential conflicts of interest so the official can abstain from making or participating in governmental decisions that are deemed conflicts of interest.Form 700, Statement of Economic Interests (87200 Filers)Government Code Section 87200 of the Political Reform Act identifies the Mayor, City Council, Planning Commissioners, City Manager, City Attorney and City Treasurer as statutory filers who are required to file Form 700s. Copies of their Form 700s are available at the City Clerk’s Office, 17575 Peak Avenue, Morgan Hill, CA 95037.
