Mental Health

SHERIDAN, WYOMING -- June 2, 2025 -- There is a study making the rounds in organizational psychology circles right now, and it tackles something most career advice skips entirely: why people refuse to ask for help even when they badly need it. Anne Burmeister, a professor at the University of Cologne, led the research through the ECONtribute Excellence Cluster, and the findings landed in the Academy of Management Journal. The short version is this -- people hold back because they assume they are the only ones who benefit from asking. Once they learn that is not true, they reach out 40 percent more often. It is a small shift with a surprisingly large effect.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 10, 2025 – While fashion trends flirt once again with ultra-thin catwalk ideals, a new body-confidence report from BBW dating app Bustr tells a very different story from the one splashed across runways and social feeds: real people still deeply desire curves, emotional safety and body-inclusive love.

When Fashion Says “Thin” but Real Life Says “Curvy”

Headlines about fewer plus-size models and a “return” to early-2000s thinness can feel like déjà vu for anyone who thought the Body Positivity era had finally changed the game. But Bustr’s 2025 Body Confidence and Social Trends Report suggests that offline hearts haven’t suddenly rewritten their preferences just because aesthetics on the runway shifted.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 4, 2025 – When you or someone you love is looking for help with addiction, trauma, or mental health struggles, one question matters more than any other: does treatment actually work? The Meadows, a nationally recognized leader in trauma and addiction care based in Wickenburg, Arizona, has released its 2024 Annual Outcomes Report – and the data offers reassuring, real-world evidence that change is not only possible, but can last well beyond discharge.

Why outcomes data matters when you’re choosing treatment

In a world full of glossy brochures and emotional testimonials, independently collected outcomes data is a powerful way to cut through the noise. For this first report, The Meadows partnered with Vista Research Group, which tracks symptoms and life changes during treatment and then follows patients for up to a year afterward.
