Foster Care Month Spotlights Year-Round Needs of 523,000 U.S. Children
America's leading child welfare agencies, advocates, experts, and foster care alumni are launching a national campaign in May to enlist more public participation in activities that make a positive difference in the lives of young people in foster care. National Foster Care Month serves as a platform for connecting more than a half million at-risk youth to caring adults and the other year-round support they need.
The number of Americans who have been affected by foster care is staggering.
-- There are more than 12 million foster care alumni in the U.S.
-- An estimated 523,000 children and youth are living away from home because their families are in crisis and unable to provide for their essential needs.
-- More than two million additional children are living with grandparents or other relatives.
-- Children of color represent 59 percent of the foster care population. Research indicates that while they are not at greater risk for abuse and neglect, children of color are disproportionately represented in the system.
-- This year, nearly 20,000 youth will age out of foster care. Many of them are only 18 years old and still require significant support and services or they will be left vulnerable to homelessness, unemployment, compromised mental health, poor educational status, poverty, substance abuse, and incarceration.
"We must address the pressing needs of the foster care population now or face the consequences for generations to come," says Virginia Pryor of Casey Family Programs and chair of National Foster Care Month. "Every child deserves a stable, loving family and a chance to succeed as an adult. Our goals for Foster Care Month and beyond are to help raise national awareness of what these children need and to inspire many more people to come forward and help as foster parents, mentors, volunteer advocates, and in other ways. We want to ensure that every young person who leaves foster care establishes a permanent, lifelong relationship with a nurturing adult."
Three prominent foster care alumni are working to help the next generation of youth succeed in life. As National Foster Care Month spokespeople, they are mobilizing the television, music, and fashion industries to establish mentoring programs assisting older youth in care with workplace preparation.
Victoria Rowell spent 18 years in foster care. She recently received the NAACP Best Actress award for her role as Drucilla Winters and the foster care storyline she introduced on the CBS daytime drama The Young and the Restless. Through her nonprofit, the Rowell Foster Children's Positive Plan, she collaborates with entertainment companies including Sony and Viacom/CBS Television in developing internships that allow foster youth to work behind the scenes of some of Hollywood's most successful TV programs.
Tony Shellman, co-founder of ENYCE Clothing (a Liz Claiborne Company), was adopted from foster care at a very young age. Shellman's story was recently featured in Black Enterprise magazine as a profile in courage. This year, ENYCE will begin offering career mentoring opportunities to foster youth interested in the world of fashion.
Kashif never knew his birth parents and endured an early life of abandonment and abuse. He grew up living in eight different foster homes in the poorest neighborhoods of Brooklyn, N.Y. Today, Kashif is a successful entrepreneur and an award- winning songwriter, musician, and producer. He shares his expertise with foster youth via his Kashif University courses and through internships at his own company, Brooklyn Boy.
During May, there are hundreds of planned community events and activities that raise awareness and help increase support for youth in foster care. For more information on local events and the many ways to get involved, visit http://www.fostercaremonth.org or call (888) 799-KIDS.

HHS SECRETARY LEAVITT KICKS OFF OLDER AMERICANS MONTH
HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt, Acting Deputy Secretary Alex Azar, and Assistant Secretary for Aging Josefina G. Carbonell are encouraging seniors to engage in healthful physical activities as Older Americans Month is celebrated across the nation. This year's theme for Older Americans Month is "Celebrate Long-Term Living!"
"By incorporating physical activity into their daily lives, seniors can help ensure the blessing of improved length and quality of life," Secretary Leavitt said. "We continue to see how the miracles of modern medicine can improve and sustain life, but nothing can take the place of physical activity for maintaining muscle strength and balance. Just by walking or swimming or lifting weights, seniors can see a significant improvement in their overall health."
"We can do more, and our best weapons are literally in our own hands: the food we choose to eat, and the activities that get us moving," said Assistant Secretary Carbonell. "Older adults tend to be healthier, feel better, and maintain their mobility and independence longer when they take simple steps."
"Local organizations and groups are sponsoring physical fitness events across the country," Acting Deputy Secretary Azar said. "Our efforts are to make sure that we heighten awareness and promote increased physical activity and healthy lifestyles for older Americans everywhere."
Since 1963, Older Americans Month has allowed for the opportunity to acknowledge and appreciate the contributions of our nation's seniors. For more information on Older Americans Month or to sponsor a local physical fitness event in your local area, visit the Administration on Aging's Web site at http://www.aoa.gov.

Admissions for Drug Treatment Up for Older Adults
SAMHSA and FDA Start New Campaign-Do the Right Dose
Admissions for substance abuse treatment increased by 32 percent among older adults over the eight-year period 1995-2002, concludes a new study released by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
The report, "Older Adults in Substance Abuse Treatment: Update," found that the percent of older adults with opiates as their primary substance of abuse increased from 6.8 percent to 12 percent in this time period. Opiates include prescription pain medications and heroin. Opiates are the second most frequent reason for treatment admissions among older adults, after alcohol.
To counter the upward trend in the abuse of opiates, SAMHSA and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are sponsoring new advertisements to encourage older adults to "Do The Right Dose" when using prescription pain relievers.
"We are only beginning to realize the pervasiveness of substance abuse among older adults," SAMHSA Administrator Charles Curie said. "We have made older adults a priority at SAMHSA, and we are working to advance understanding of the relationship between aging and substance abuse, and to provide practical information for incorporating our understanding into treatment services. We are reaching out now to older adults to warn them that prescription pain relievers are safe and effective when used correctly, but could lead to abuse and addiction if misused."
"FDA collaborated with SAMHSA to develop these public education materials because our agencies have a shared goal to communicate accurate health information on the proper use of prescription pain medications," said FDA Deputy Commissioner for Operations Dr. Janet Woodcock. "While SAMHSA's data indicate significant growth in opiate abuse, we are just as concerned about those cases of addiction to pain medications that go underdiagnosed. We want to send a clear message to older adults that emphasizes the need to take pain relievers as directed."
Alcohol is still the primary substance of abuse among older adults, but the proportion of older admissions reporting alcohol as their primary substance declined from 86.5 percent in 1995 to 77.5 percent in 2002. Drug admissions among those ages 55 and older increased by 106 percent for men and 119 percent for women between 1995 and 2002.
The "Do The Right Dose" campaign also has the support of the Administration on Aging, which works to warn older adults that medicine must be taken appropriately and dosages cannot be altered by patients without consequences.
The report is available on the Web at http://www.oas.samhsa.gov/aging.htm. The "As You Age" brochure is available from SAMHSA's clearinghouse at 1-800-729-6686 or http://www.ncadi.samhsa.gov. "Do the Right Dose" posters, print Public Service Announcements, and other materials are online at: http://asyouage.samhsa.gov/dotherightdose

NMHA Joins Partnership for Prescription Assistance
New Clearinghouse Offers Consumers One-Stop Shop for Prescription Assistance
The National Mental Health Association (NMHA) announced on May 5 its participation in the Partnership for Prescription Assistance, a groundbreaking initiative to help people who lack access to medications get the treatments they need. A coalition of national organizations, including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the American Academy of Family Physicians, united to promote this new one-stop shop for information on 275 public and private prescription assistance programs.
"Until now, there was no central information clearinghouse for prescription assistance programs sponsored by government agencies and pharmaceutical companies, leaving consumers to navigate two complex systems for prescription assistance," said Michael Faenza, president and CEO of NMHA. "With more than two-thirds of people needing mental health treatment in this nation going without, the Partnership for Prescription Assistance can help many Americans who have trouble paying for treatments get help."
To access the program, call 1-888-4PPA-NOW (1-888-477-2669) or visit http://www.pparx.org.
