Fighting The Challenges Of Poverty
It is estimated that 1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty, on less than $2 a day. In 2000, 189 nations declared that they would "free all men, women, and children from the abject and dehumanizing conditions of extreme poverty". These nations signed up to Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to combat poverty by 2015. To help meet these complex challenges and "make poverty history" more knowledge and evidence is needed. A launch event Wednesday 22nd July 2009 at the Department for International Development (DFID) marks a new phase of research collaboration between the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) and DFID which will provide more robust social science research to address poverty alleviation amongst the poorest countries and peoples of the world.

Social Security Administration Considers Adding Alzheimer's To Its Compassionate Allowances List
Today there are an estimated 5.3 million Americans with Alzheimer"s disease. Although the majority of Alzheimer cases are individuals age 65 and older, there is still a significant number of individuals under age 65 impacted by this fatal disease that today has no cure. For people under age 65 with Alzheimer"s disease or a related dementia, their cognitive impairment can quickly reach a point where they can no longer maintain gainful employment. The Alzheimer"s Association applauds the Social Security Administration (SSA) for holding a hearing today to examine whether these individuals with younger-onset Alzheimer"s disease or related dementias should be included in its Compassionate Allowances Initiative.

More Progress Still To Be Made On Mental Health

Commenting on the final biennial report from the Mental Health Act Commission released by the Care Quality Commission, Mental Health Network director Steve Shrubb said: "While the Commission rightly acknowledges that often very vulnerable people are looked after effectively and with care, we know there is more to do to make this the norm across all services. "The commission is also right to highlight the high number of community treatment orders and we agree that we need a more detailed understanding of how they are being used. "The Mental Health Network has been calling for some time for the mandatory training and accreditation scheme for all staff who may be engaged in restraint practices to be set up as soon as possible. "We are also working with the department of health among others to develop an acute pathway declaration which will set out the kind of support people can expect along with a national plan to implement it." Notes The Mental Health Network represents the majority of mental health trusts. It was launched in spring 2007 to provide a distinct voice for providers of NHS mental health services.
