There has been a BUNCH added since I last posted.
There are seven new pages added to our in-progress workshop on Adulthood, Aging and Disability, on death and grief by Dr. Longie

Dr. De Mars' blog has been switched to a new software application.

All of the posts for the last year are here and easily accessible now. You may learn something, but there are no guarantees.
We updated our intranet site with more resources for small business

We have added a new 80-page guide from the U.S. Department of Education to the Parenting Shelf of our Virtual Library.

If you are like me, your first thought was, "Ha! More of the same old stuff. Parents don't come to school because they don't have Internet access and don't read your website, blah, blah." Imagine my surprise when they confronted the issues head on. Parents often don't come to school because they have had bad experiences at the school, they don't like schools and they distrust school staff. Here is a guide that addresses the real challenges facing schools on reservations and in other disadvantaged communities.

Again, there have been a lot of additions to the site. Ironically, after all of those times I have deleted links to sites about sex, we actually have several pages up about dating, sex and disability. I am going to have to get a spy in the workshops to tell me if Erich and Willie try to skip over these sections

I also started on the section on substance abuse with a discussion of painkillers

and uploaded one page on aging

So, we have little bits and pieces of a lot of topics. As you can see, though, the site is growing day by day. Two weeks from now, it will be complete and you will hardly recognize it.

I have added (at least) 35 pages in the last few weeks, plus several additions to the virtual library.
For the latest draft of the Ethical Training for Indian Nations, a new web-based course in progress, check here

I also really liked the PowerPoint presentation,

I just added another section on the seven signs of moral collapse
http://www.spiritlakeconsulting.com/TLC … lapse.html
I only got four of them done today. Ever notice how some days progress happens really fast and other days you feel as if you are jogging through the mud? Well, today was one of the latter.

I have not posted much here in a while because I have been hard at work updating the Family Life and Disability section.
http://www.spiritlakeconsulting.com/DA/ … index.html
This is one of those things I have wanted to do for the longest time. It was getting to look like the website version of a beat-up old car, you know, nice when you first got it but now the paint is scratched in several places, the side mirror was scraped off in an accident, there is a crack in the windshield covered with duct tape and the passenger side door has to be tied shut with a rope.
This section did have a "frame" so you could not bookmark a specific page. I changed that. There are now a menu on the left, such as Childhood Problems, Parenting Youth, Abuse, etc. and each of those has a drop down menu giving further specific topics such as toilet-training, youth employment and so on. I also found some spelling errors and changed those, added new pictures and, to a lot of sections, added a LEARN MORE page. The Family Life & Disability module is sort of overview course, so I thought it was very likely that people might have be interested in studying a specific topic in detail.
Since there are 66 pages here I have no doubt I made a few errors. If you spot any, please let me know. You can email me at
