PAVLOV'S DOGGIES, STINKIN' THINKIN' AND LEARNED HELPLESSNESS
Learned helplessness, an increasingly significant barrier to a healthy quality of life, can result in deep depression or even suicide, and therefore is a crucial mental health issue. The condition is usually the result of how parents, teachers and caregivers communicate with a child. Untreated, the person suffering from learned helplessness (often termed pessimism) remains unempowered, inadequately esteemed, and the pervasive belief that he cannot take care of himself or take responsibility for his life. Included are a quiz by Martin E. P. Seligman, an expert on learned helplessness and cognitive therapy, which offers tendencies which can alert you or someone close to you to the importance of optimism and pessimism in our current culture.

BCTC Project Now Underway!
What is unique about this project is that we have recognized that having a developmental disability or a related cognitive challenge is not necessarily the biggest barrier to employment. If you do not have the self-confidence and self-reliance that comes from authentic experience, if you do not understand how to interact socially and professionally in the workplace, if you have never had a chance to develop a work ethic, and if you do not have any means to get your foot in the door of potential employers, you are not going to get a job. The actual disability or challenge is in many ways a secondary concern if all of these issues are not effectively addressed.
