Clarity Wellness Center, a Las Vegas mental health center, has launched a program offering affordable mental health and substance use counseling for military spouses.

While making this announcement, Ashia McReynolds (MA, LMFT, LCADC), Clinical Director of the Clarity Wellness Center, said “military spouses comprise a very unique population and their needs are often secondary to their spouses and families. We have established a program that is available for military spouses of active duty, reserves, and veterans of all branches” said McReynolds while acknowledging the multiple roles military spouses hold in their families and their importance to our nation.

The local mental health therapists who operate under the tagline "Get Clarity!" aim to help break barriers and stigmatization military spouses face with mental health issues and substance use.

McReynolds says “the program began to give back to military families and specifically the spouses of military service members. As a former military spouse, I often called myself the ‘single-married parent.’ There were so many experiences that come up while navigating life and the military deployment cycle. Not everyone understands the uniqueness of this lifestyle.” said McReynolds.“We recognize military spouses as the cornerstone of the health and wellness of the military family.”

Ashia McReynolds, a marriage and family therapist, says that the mental health services program aims to help military and veteran spouses receive services for family issues, anxiety, depression, substance use, life-stressors, secondary trauma, adjustment, and many other challenges in which this unique population faces daily.

McReynolds works with people who desire to create change in their lives and gain clarity. The dually-licensed therapist has a Master’s in marriage and family therapy and is currently a marriage and family doctoral student at Northcentral University, with a specialization in military families and veterans.

Potential clients are requested to call (702) 348-9654 to make an appointment. As a professional, McReynolds assures her clients of confidentiality, adding that it is imperative to begin good work. The center’s services are available in person at their offices or through Telehealth.

Singapore – October 2020 - The Cocoa Association of Asia (CAA), the leading Cocoa Association in Asia for both Cocoa and Chocolate Companies, and the associated supply chains and suppliers conducted an online forum (Will Cocoa Demand Grind To A Halt) to review the 3Q grinding data. The panel of industry experts delivered a cautiously upbeat assessment of the Asia region data despite the impact of Covid-19 which saw a 10% drop against the same period in 2019.

The panel was made up by industry experts: Mr. Andrew Rawlings, Associate Analyst - Agri Commodities, RaboResearch; Ms. Francesca Kleemens, Managing Director from Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate Asia Pacific; Mr Quek Ngee Chuan, Vice President for the Cocoa Division at Olam International Ltd; Mr. Antoine Delsart, Managing Director of Touton Far East Pte Ltd and Mr. Gerald Abwerzger; and Chief Executive Officer, Von Alm Pte Ltd.

Quarter on quarter figures for 2020 is showing some positivity, trending based on Q2 vs Q1 at -2.26% and Q3 vs Q2 as being flat.

Considering the interruption to supply chains caused by the COVID pandemic, the reduced consumer footfall in the retail sector, and the COVID induced recession, the Panel expressed confidence in the measures taken by actors across the Asian cocoa value chain to respond to the difficult circumstances of 2020. The Panel praised the manufacturing sector for innovation in product types and formats which chimed with consumer concerns around healthier snacks, affordability, and sustainability.

The panel also highlighted that Asia’s young and increasingly growing middleclass population presented significant growth opportunities for the future, with the potential to develop the market into No.2 globally. Current Asia demand per capita for cocoa and chocolate products is very low compared to Europe or the USA. With manufacturers now developing bespoke products with affordability, innovation, and sustainability top of mind, the outlook is bright for a strong recovery.

While the panel expressed confidence about the future of the Asia region cocoa value chain, (Asia currently imports 80% of the cocoa beans it processes, mostly from West Africa and also increasingly from Latin America) it was tempered with nearer term supply caution around the unsettled global environment. These concerns include the upcoming elections in the USA and West Africa, BREXIT transition completion by the end of 2020, and the backdrop of the continuing COVID crisis. Looking towards regional supply, mainly from Indonesia which has now stabilized after several years of contraction, the panel emphasized the importance of raising both the quality and sustainability in the coming years. So, with a secure supply of cocoa beans, ample processing capacity, and a sophisticated consumer segment that is culturally more in tune with cocoa and chocolate products, there is hope that Asia might hold the key to future demand for Cocoa and Chocolate products.

About the CAA

The Cocoa Association of Asia was formed about 15 years ago with the goal of getting Asian cocoa processors, chocolate manufacturers, cocoa traders to work together to transform and promote the cocoa & chocolate industry in Asia for Asia, building on the unique and vibrant diversity of cross-cultural talents and a growing economy.

(November, 2020. New York) - The thought of a new conspiracy theory either makes people cringe or roll their eyes. Gedalya's new song, Conspiracy Theories, is the opposite, with a fun toe-tapping tune and serious yet tongue-in-cheek lyrics. The International Academy of Voice and Stage recently stated, "Think, reflect, enjoy and listen. Gedalya's music demands that you feel." I found myself wanting to listen again and again, singing along by mid-song. Yet there's a melancholy that settles with a sense of hope lingering. Conspiracy Theories is true to reality and speaks to the personal growth many are feeling in 2020.

Gedalya is a singer and songwriter who is "...a learner, I express my ideas about life through my music." His folk-rock style emerged in 2017 with the release of The Thunder with soulful piano to accompany his vocals. Inspired by his own experiences and based in New York City, Gedalya's first stepped onto the music scene in the 1990s with songs like If I Were Superman and Through the Glass. While he took a step back to follow and develop his own voice and had several releases over the past decade. Over the years, Gedalya has remained true to himself throughout his life.

A stream of followers will be excited to find this new release along with his past releases available on their favorite platform or from Gedalya's website at www.gedalyasings.com to read his inspiring background, watch his documentary, or download a number of his songs.

His previous release in 2020 is also available, Giving Feels Good, which received a great review and received radio broadcasting worldwide. This song came when our world needed rebuilding, as it still does, and recognizes that the process of rebuilding creates connections between people and communities. On his website, Gedalya asks for visitors to donate to A New Song, which promotes their artists and their positive messages throughout the world.

If you're a longtime fan, be sure to pick up Conspiracy Theories to share his musical spirit with your friends. Additionally, check out Gedalya's events page for upcoming events. There will be live and recorded concerts coming our way soon.
