Hello to All,
I have just joined this list and would like to introduce myself. |I am 
an American studying Positive Psychotherapy, a new branch of 
psychotherapy known mainly in Europe and Asia, in Kosovo. I am in my 
last semester of classwork for a Master's degree in this field. I am 
blind and look forward to sharing ideas and thoughts with other human 
services workers. Beginning in September I will be facilitating a 
psychotherapy and mental health maintenance group for teenaged students 
at the Kosovo school for the blind and helping them start a music 
program to prepare students to enter the music program at the 
university in Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. I am 62 years old anhd 
in my day the schools for the blind gave no attention to teaching us 
how to maintain our mental health. I believe that this lack has 
actually led to many blind people dying well before their time. I want 
to specialize in helping blind and disabled people to maintain or 
restore mental health. I very much look forward to sharing ideas with 
all of you.
