A CTE teacher's blog about teaching, sports & entertainment marketing, life, and other assorted topics. A long, circuitous career path has now found me teaching Sports & Entertainment Marketing in North Carolina. I was in the Marines and the TV business prior to teaching--told ya it was circuitous! And yes, I do ramble!

Is There Any Help?
Sad news about Mindy McCready's suicide over the weekend. I remember her hit "Guys Do It All The Time" back in the mid-'90s. Like I told my classes, it's hard to maintain that kind of success.
That being said, it's heartbreaking that there are so many people with mental health issues that don't get the help they need. McCready clearly had issues for years; even a stint in rehab didn't help. Having a fiance die in the same house a month earlier obviously wasn't optimal, either.
It's too bad there's not an easy test for people to take where they could find the help they need based on the score they get. It's never that simple, though, especially where the brain is involved.
