YOU might live in MONtana

Jeff Foxworthy's Comments on Montana

If "vacation" to you means going shopping for the weekend in
Great Falls, Billings or Bozeman (while the kids swim at the
Comfort Inn), You might live in Montana

If parking your car for the night involves an extension cord
, You might live in Montana

If you consider it a sport to gather your food by drilling
Through 8 inches of ice and sitting there all day hoping
That the food will swim by, You might live in Montana

If you're proud that your state ma… Continue

At 11:39am on May 21, 2009, Melanie Martin-Dent said…: My term on the Montana state Children's Mental Health System of Care Committee ended this month. As my children are now 24 and 21 I thought it was time to move on. My son has finally acquired the coping skills we were trying to teach him for years and has found his "inner overachiever". He is graduating from Community College next month and has been accepted to Pacific Lutheran University with an academic merit scholarship. I am still active on the local level teaching the NAMI Basics course to other parents and planning Children's Mental Health Awareness Day activities in Anaconda. But I'd pretty much forgotten this web site existed. MMD

At 10:59am on March 15, 2008, Melanie Martin-Dent said…: My current project is planning events in Anaconda for Children's Mental Health Awareness Day, May 8. It looks like we may have a booth at a local health fair, and we hope to plan something with the "Are you MAD (Making A Difference) group in the high school.

I'm also recruiting a local parent to serve on a subcommitee of the Children's System of Care Committee which is working on recommendations to the Interim Law and Justice Committee of the state legislature. They are talking about proposing a secure correctional mental health faciltiy to serve the 22 or so kids they have sent (and are paying for) to out of state treatment. Right now, no one wants to seve the really tough kids (SED, DD, possibly psychotic or sex offenders)--they all say "we don't have a track record of doing well with these types of kids". If the Department of Corrections wants to help us develop services that WOULD be willing to serve these kids it could be a good thing, but a youth version of the State Hospital would not.

Maybe I'll also find a picture to post one of these days.
