Jackson-Feild makes presentation to placement professionals
Jackson-Field's Donna Creasy presented information regarding
Neurofeedback to a symposium of professionals who are tasked with
finding the most appropriate and effective treatment for their
locality's youth with emotional and behavioral issues. The topic was
Neurofeedback and its utilization in residential treatment
There was a keen interest on the part of these professionals
regarding Neurofeedback and its effectiveness in treating specific
disorders including substance abuse. Neurofeedback is an evidence-based
practice that uses electroencephalography or EEG to map brain activity.
The goal is for youth to understand their brain functioning and gain
control over their thoughts and behaviors. They learn how to connect
stimuli which are undesirable that associate with negative thoughts and
emotions such as depression, anxiety, impulsivity, etc. They learn how
to manage these thoughts and feelings and control and improve their
behaviors.
Jackson-Feild has used Neurofeedback as an effective
treatment intervention for over twenty years. It is the only nonprofit
organization in Virginia that uses it. Jackson-Feild does not receive
any reimbursement for this service. JFBHS believes so strongly in this
intervention since it has been so effective that it raises funds to
cover this expense.
Ms. Creasy' s presentation was very well received and
participants walked away with a new appreciation and understanding about
the importance Neurofeedback could make in helping their youth.

Camp SpiritSong to serve children affected by opioid use of a parent
Camp Spirit Song is offered in partnership with the
SpiritWorks Foundation to give the gift of a camp experience to children
in Province III affected by the opioid substance use disorder of a
parent or other close loved one. The camp will be held August 11-16 at
the Claggett Center in Buckeystown, MD. This is the inaugural year of
Camp Spirit Song, and the first camp program of its kind on the east
coast, and we ask your prayers and support for our ministry this summer.
Camp provides children grades 4-8 with an opportunity to meet God through:
● the support of a Christian community
● fellowship with peers who share a common experience
● time to rest and play away from the distractions of everyday life
It is our mission to offer Camp Spirit Song at no cost to
campers' families.You can help make camp a reality for 40 campers this
year by sponsoring a camper. $1,000 covers the cost of one camper,
including room and board, program materials, and staff fees.
Individuals, parishes, and dioceses may donate directly toward camper
sponsorship. We have one camper scholarship covered by a parish in the
Diocese of Maryland, and look forward to many other donors getting in
touch with Claggett to support this camp.
To make or pledge a contribution toward Camp Spirit Song,
contact Lisa Marie Ryder, co-Executive Director of the Claggett Center,
