His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>When student leaders from all 23 California State University campuses came together last fall to set priorities for the academic year, improving campus mental health services received more nominations than any other issue. It beat out even that perennial concern, tuition costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State Student Association President Maggie White said she’s not surprised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing wait times at counseling centers that are exceeding two or three weeks, people turned away after a few appointments because they’ve exceeded the maximum allotment, and students not feeling comfortable going to counselors because no one looks like them or reflects their experience,” White said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the stigma attached to mental health care fades, California students are increasingly clamoring for more on-campus services that can help them cope with anxiety, depression and the stresses of a contentious political climate and rising living expenses. Several bills pending in the California Legislature would set aside resources for mental health care at the state’s public colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mental health advocates say on-campus care is especially important because people often first experience psychological problems during their young adult years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so much the age when serious mental illness manifests itself, and here we have these institutions that could absolutely be identifying this early on,” said Deborah Anderluh, a spokesperson for the Steinberg Institute, which lobbies for more funding for mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only eight of the Cal State system’s 23 campuses meet the standard of one counselor per 1,000 to 1,500 students set by the International Association of Counseling Services — the national accreditor for campus counseling centers — according to a survey by the student association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many community colleges don’t have a counseling center at all, or rely on graduate student interns to provide care. The University of California system is in the midst of a five-year hiring push to add counselors on its campuses, funded by student fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of college students seeking counseling on campuses nationwide grew five times faster than enrollment between 2009 and 2015, according to the Center for Collegiate Mental Health, a national consortium.

But she wanted to go into politics. And the polarized atmosphere that accompanied President Trump’s election exacerbated the social pressures she was already experiencing as a Muslim woman, Ansari said. \"I was having this identity crisis and feeling really threatened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until starting on-campus therapy, Ansari said, that she realized she wasn’t the only one dealing with those challenges. Her grades improved, and she took on more responsibility in student government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she recommended the campus counseling center to a friend who was grieving after a death in the family, said Ansari, the friend couldn’t get an appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center staff said, “‘We’re all filled up; can you call back in two weeks?’” Ansari said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are considering a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB968\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> to ease that backlog by requiring public campuses to have one full-time counselor for every 1,500 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve put a lot of emphasis on how to get students to graduate on time,” state Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat and the bill’s author, told CALmatters. “One of the barriers is mental health issues, and we should be helping [students] overcome them. Otherwise, we’re not maximizing our investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids.'\u003ccite>Peg Scott, American River College psychology professor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>CSU and the community colleges would have to hire hundreds of new counselors to meet the ratio Pan is proposing, according to a legislative analysis. The community college system has more than 7,000 students for every counselor systemwide, according to the analysis, while CSU has more than 2,000. Staffing at the University of California is more robust, with about 1,100 students per counselor overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the university systems has taken a position on the bill. But Denise Bevly, CSU’s director of wellness, questioned whether mandating staff levels for counselors was the best way to improve care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One-on-one counseling may not be it for all students,” she said. Some issues might be better addressed through prevention and early intervention such as “a stress-management workshop, or a peer counseling group, or a yoga class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a gap, if we’re honest,” between the increasing demand for counseling services and the supply, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The schools are doing what they can with the resources they have, she added. In June, the university will start training a few faculty and staff from each campus to be “wellness ambassadors.” They’ll be able to direct students who are struggling with mental health or financial pressures to the right campus programs, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan’s legislation may mean the most change for community colleges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11665552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1020x750.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1200x882.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1180x867.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-960x706.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-375x276.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/NCHA-II-SPRING-2016-HSACCC-REFERENCE-GROUP-DATA-REPORT-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">survey\u003c/a> of 10 California community colleges, more than half of students said they had felt overwhelming anxiety at some time in the past year, with 39 percent saying they had been so depressed it was hard to function. One in 10 said they had seriously considered suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the Legislature budgeted $4.5 million for new mental health programs at community colleges — but only 15 of the state’s 114 colleges will receive the competitive grants of up to $300,000 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American River College psychology professor Peg Scott says every week, two to three students approach her with mental health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no counseling center at her Sacramento County community college, which has two nurses for more than 30,000 students. So Scott refers students to a county crisis center several miles away. The center provides transportation, Scott says, but it’s just not practical for her to send them every student who needs help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students need somewhere on campus to go when they have a panic attack or are just having a really bad day,” Scott said. “Finals are coming up and they need support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has a dedicated funding source for mental health programs: In 2004, voters passed Proposition 63, a 1 percent tax on incomes of more than $1 million a year. Counties can decide how to use most of the money, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.auditor.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2017-117.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recent state audit\u003c/a> found that hundreds of millions have gone unspent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers want the state to set priorities for how counties should spend those funds. Under a bipartisan \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1004\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> also pending in the Legislature, counties would have to use some of the money for one of three types of mental health programs, including college counseling, or justify to the state why they did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2933\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> would require that every county social-services agency have a liaison to help professors like Scott send students for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s last major effort to upgrade college counseling failed in 2016, when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have set up a campus mental health trust fund, citing its lack of a specific price tag or funding source. But Proposition 63 has had some effect. UC, CSU and community colleges were all able to use some of its proceeds to launch campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And students say it’s become easier to talk about mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like there’s more of an open discussion of it,” said Courtney Cooper, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. “I had a panic attack before class the other day ... and this other girl was like, ‘Oh, I deal with anxiety, too.’ I didn’t feel like I was the only one or that anyone in class was going to judge me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on a number of campuses have started mental health conferences and formed chapters of \u003ca href=\"http://www.activeminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Active Minds\u003c/a>, a student-run advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott’s students decided not to wait for their college to provide counseling. They’re partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to create peer support groups for struggling students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need is there, and our students are so forward-looking that they recognize it,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em> \u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

In June, the university will start training a few faculty and staff from each campus to be “wellness ambassadors.” They’ll be able to direct students who are struggling with mental health or financial pressures to the right campus programs, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan’s legislation may mean the most change for community colleges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11665552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1020x750.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1200x882.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1180x867.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-960x706.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-375x276.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/NCHA-II-SPRING-2016-HSACCC-REFERENCE-GROUP-DATA-REPORT-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">survey\u003c/a> of 10 California community colleges, more than half of students said they had felt overwhelming anxiety at some time in the past year, with 39 percent saying they had been so depressed it was hard to function. One in 10 said they had seriously considered suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the Legislature budgeted $4.5 million for new mental health programs at community colleges — but only 15 of the state’s 114 colleges will receive the competitive grants of up to $300,000 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American River College psychology professor Peg Scott says every week, two to three students approach her with mental health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no counseling center at her Sacramento County community college, which has two nurses for more than 30,000 students. So Scott refers students to a county crisis center several miles away. The center provides transportation, Scott says, but it’s just not practical for her to send them every student who needs help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students need somewhere on campus to go when they have a panic attack or are just having a really bad day,” Scott said. “Finals are coming up and they need support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has a dedicated funding source for mental health programs: In 2004, voters passed Proposition 63, a 1 percent tax on incomes of more than $1 million a year. Counties can decide how to use most of the money, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.auditor.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2017-117.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recent state audit\u003c/a> found that hundreds of millions have gone unspent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers want the state to set priorities for how counties should spend those funds. Under a bipartisan \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1004\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> also pending in the Legislature, counties would have to use some of the money for one of three types of mental health programs, including college counseling, or justify to the state why they did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2933\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> would require that every county social-services agency have a liaison to help professors like Scott send students for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s last major effort to upgrade college counseling failed in 2016, when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have set up a campus mental health trust fund, citing its lack of a specific price tag or funding source. But Proposition 63 has had some effect. UC, CSU and community colleges were all able to use some of its proceeds to launch campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And students say it’s become easier to talk about mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like there’s more of an open discussion of it,” said Courtney Cooper, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. “I had a panic attack before class the other day ... and this other girl was like, ‘Oh, I deal with anxiety, too.’ I didn’t feel like I was the only one or that anyone in class was going to judge me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on a number of campuses have started mental health conferences and formed chapters of \u003ca href=\"http://www.activeminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Active Minds\u003c/a>, a student-run advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott’s students decided not to wait for their college to provide counseling. They’re partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to create peer support groups for struggling students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need is there, and our students are so forward-looking that they recognize it,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>People who smoke marijuana reported having more sexual intercourse than non-users, according to a new study conducted by urologists at the \u003ca href=\"http://med.stanford.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stanford University School of Medicine\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The results were modest but statistically significant: Non-users said they had engaged in sexual intercourse between five and six times in the previous month. Daily pot smokers reported having intercourse around seven times over that same period. The frequency was in-between for people who smoked marijuana less often, on a weekly or monthly basis: they reported having sex more than abstainers, but less than daily users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was surprised,” said\u003ca href=\"https://stanfordhealthcare.org/doctors/e/michael-eisenberg.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Dr. Michael Eisenberg\u003c/a>, the study’s senior author and an assistant professor of urology at Stanford University Medical Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The daily users for example, compared to the never users, reported about 20 more sexual encounters a year. So I think that is a significant difference,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the first study to look at the connection between pot smoking and sex at the population level. To tease out the association, Eisenberg and his co-author Dr. Andrew Sun used survey data drawn from more than 50,000 Americans between the ages of 25 and 45.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The data comes from the National Center for Health Statistics at the CDC.

Her mom was divorced and had two young daughters at the time, but only one of them got on the boat with her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The older one was kicking and screaming and it was a risky thing because you know, she’s sneaking off into a boat,” Le says.

She kicked that thing across the room and hit the wall so hard it terrified me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le says it was like this all the time. She forgot her books when they went to the library, and her mom started screaming. When her sister messed up a sauce for dinner, her dad threw a dish at the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I just didn’t even know what I was dealing with,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She came to dread every day.

She assumed everybody’s parents wanted their kids to be serious about school and remember their backpacks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The belief is a cultural piece. But the reaction is influenced by trauma,” says \u003ca href=\"https://www.cibhs.org/board-member/clayton-chau-md-phd\">Dr. Clayton Chau\u003c/a>, a psychiatrist at St. Joseph Hoag Health in Irvine. “So parents without trauma would sit the child down and say, ‘Hey, what happened?

Because they had lost so much, they were obsessed with her safety. Le says they would listen in on all her phone conversations, and wouldn’t let her walk anywhere.

I think medicine traditionally has been a profession that says, ‘You just do it.’ ”\u003ccite>Donna Elliott, senior associate dean of student affairs, USC\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The programs have been instituted over just the last several years; traditionally, stress and mental health problems are not issues the institutions have specifically addressed, mental health experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's changing because Petro's death is only one of several recent suicides by medical students and residents around the country, says Andres Sciolla, a psychiatrist at the UC Davis School of Medicine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sciolla says the suicides of two doctors-in-training in New York City in 2014 galvanized the idea among the medical community that something needed to be done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s a very big topic that the general public just doesn’t know about,” Sciolla says. “There is so much buzz in our circle right now, in the academic and physician circle, and now it’s reaching a level that can no longer be pushed under the rug. It’s becoming scandalous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sciolla helped institute a mental health program at UC Davis to catch problems before they can turn into crises. Residents fill out an online confidential survey to help identify those who are dealing with high levels of stress.
