		<title>The MKP Mental Health Resource Team: History, Process and Mission</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by David Rose
One of the ongoing narratives of The ManKind Project has been the tension between keeping the New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA) a fierce and powerful experiential training while at the same time keeping a consciousness around safety — whether physical, spiritual, cultural, or psychological.
There have been several major advances in our consciousness around [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can people with bipolar disorder recover?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Peter Dorsen, MD

Why do those of us with bipolar disorder have to carry the stigma that we will always be sick? Can&#8217;t we ever &#8220;recover&#8221; enough from our disorder to return to the place we started before we were diagnosed with a chronic mental illness? Does the tail wag the dog? Are psychiatrists motivated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dipping into the wells of mental health</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Joe Glassman
In trying to find and keep my own sanity, and in trying to assist hundreds of others solve problems in living, I&#8217;ve found value from dipping into five wells for emotional health. Balance means dipping into different wells for sustenance. My wells are not everyone’s wells. I can only speak to mine, yet [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gender differences: Are men or women more likely to be mentally ill?</title>

		<title>Break into your heart</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Paul Goldman
If like a thief in the night, I were to break
into your heart — what would I find there?
Precious gems tucked away beneath velveteen
cloth, ethereal ancestral songs, and deeper still—
a longing to know your own Creator; the one
who through alchemy’s mystery transformed
the very essence of you into a gift golden.
If you broke into [...]]]></description>

		<title>I was a husky child</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Peter B. Perkins
A husky child, that was me.  Ample.  Hefty.  Beefy.
In that by-gone time, children were a non-descript, average-size.  On the other hand, I was conspicuous, distinct. My separation from the preponderance of my classmates — indelible, clear-as-a-bell, plain as white bread, obvious as a raisin in oatmeal — was stitched into the waistband [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mastering what’s in front of me</title>
		<description><![CDATA[by Wayne Luthi
“Master what is in front of you.&#8221;
— author unknown, believed to be a Buddhist saying
My focus has always tended to be &#8220;future&#8221; oriented, my mind on what’s coming up next. I&#8217;ve subscribed to the idea that somehow the future will always be better,  no matter what&#8217;s in front of me. My &#8220;focus&#8221; is [...]]]></description>
