Kenny Slaught notes that Hospice of Santa Barbara provides a wide range of services benefitting individuals facing terminal and chronic illness, as well as their families. Several of the programs at the organization serve the needs of children as they struggle with the impending or recent passing of a loved one. As 20 percent of children experience the death of a loved one before they turn 18, the services are incredibly beneficial. One in 20 children must face the loss of one or both parents before they reach adulthood. Hospice of Santa Barbara upholds its mission to provide individuals in these scenarios with donation-based support through the following programs. This support helps individuals process grief to offset depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Kenny Slaught explains that “When children lose a loved one, it can feel like their lives will never be the same again. Their grief may seem insurmountable. The I Have a Friend mentor program, to help combat this situation, pairs children and adolescents with a trained adult volunteer who experienced a similar loss at a young age. This volunteer becomes an admired and respected companion throughout the grief process and provides a truly sympathetic friend. The program’s resulting relationships often become indispensable as the children continue to face hurdles for several years.

Hospice of Santa Barbara seeks to meet the needs of all individuals in the community who have experienced the loss of a loved one. Kenny Slaught notes that understanding that children and adolescents often struggle immensely when adapting to loss, the organization has focused much of its efforts on their critical needs. One of the most important programs that Hospice of Santa Barbara maintains is I Have a Friend, pairing young individuals struggling with grief with trained adult volunteers who have also experienced the loss of a parent at a young age.

Multiple Hospice of Santa Barbara counsellors have effectively brought EMDR into their treatment plans after becoming certified in this cutting-edge therapy. As a result, many of their clients have reported stronger feelings of ease and comfort than they experienced with talk therapy alone. While EMDR does not replace the need for talk therapy, it can serve as an important complement for patients with particularly difficult grief or trauma. Kenny Slaught urges all seeking more information to “learn more about EMDR and other therapies offered through the hospice online at HospiceOfSantaBarbara.org or by calling the organization directly at (805) 563-8820.”

Property investment , Kenny Slaught has recently written on his blog at KennySlaught.com about a new state-of-the-art therapy available for veterans at Hospice of Santa Barbara. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a modality that has been used effectively in treating veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The therapy uses eye movements in a unique way which processes trauma and reframes the raw, vivid imagery associated with it in the hippocampus. The brain, as a result, “re-files” the painful memory so that individuals can deal with the trauma in a more objective manner.

In 2011, says Kenny Slaught, Guillermo Bazan, a professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, was one of the winners of the GCE grant. Bazan was recognized for the study of how semiconducting molecules that penetrate the membranes of living organisms may be used to facilitate the conversion of wastewater into energy. This was in line with The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s interest in the possibility of using this technology to alleviate sanitation issues in the emerging world, as the issue presents a significant health hazard and negatively impacts people’s dignity.

A professor in UCSB’s Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, David Low, will pursue an innovative research project for global health and development titled “Strategy for development of enteric pathogen-specific phage”. His research will focus on a new way for the medical world to deal with serious bacterial pathogens which are becoming resistant to many once-powerful antibiotics. Kenny Slaught notes that, “He will engineer phage to selectively target and destroy several pathogenic bacteria to prevent enteric diseases in infants”.
