A Monthly Devotional, by Michaela Popielski. Hi everyone. I hope you guys had an awesome holiday season.

Career-of-the-Month: Psychologist & Psychiatrist

Psychiatrists are medical doctors; psychologists are not. The suffix “-iatry” means “medical treatment,” and “-logy” means “science” or “theory.” So psychiatry is the medical treatment of the psyche, while psychology is the science of the psyche.

Dreams are Essential for Helping Youth Get Through Puberty

Others will be perplexed and answer, “I am not sure; I really do not know.”  For those youth, […]
