Our main fear is that even if an independent advocacy organization will be established, it will not succeed to survive alongside an association that offers jobs to its members. "Moreover, organizations that deal with providing services are in great danger: when there are economic constraints, such organizations tend to invest mainly in developing partnerships with government ministries, and the needs of the community are not fully met. People who are not interested in advocacy but in developing services that will improve the lives of people with psychosocial disabilities must try to recruit to their organization men and women who will not be afraid to lose budgets and will act as a real consumers' force." https://www.madinamerica.com/2018/03/personal-perspective-development-survivors-movement-israel/ www.peoplewho.org ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2018 09:22:49 -0700 From: Sylvia Caras <[email protected]> Subject: empathy "...we identified significant genetic correlations" between EQ in females (EQ-F) and anorexia...and EQ in males (EQ-M) and autism," https://www.genengnews.com/gen-news-highlights/human-empathy-linked-with-genetic-variation/81255573 www.peoplewho.org ------------------------------ End of IRIS Digest - 9 Mar 2018 to 13 Mar 2018 (#2018-21) *********************************************************
