Title for My Speech on Obama’s Gun Control Policy and Mexican Drug Cartel Violence?

Question by Dr. Psychology: Title for my speech on Obama’s gun control policy and Mexican drug cartel violence?
I’m giving an informational speech for my innovations class on a controversial topic that could be further explained. I chose to write about the misconceptions regarding Obama’s gun control policy, the claim that many make that the Obama Administration is “taking away our second amendment”, and how this is influenced by the Mexican drug wars. My thesis statement is: “Due to misinformation, people often view Barack Obama’s policy on firearms as revoking our second amendment, when Obama is actually trying to ban semi-automatic guns to prevent drug war violence in Mexico.” I have the speech all outlined, but I’m still in need of a title.

I’m Looking for a Mental Health Clinic That Can Deal With Addiction and Suicide in a Bi-Polar Teen?

Question by ………: I’m looking for a mental health clinic that can deal with addiction and suicide in a Bi-polar teen?
It needs to be around Cincinnati Ohio and it has to be a live in center. He is 18 years old and has recently been diagnosed as Bipolar, he hasn’t been able to be given proper medication because he is throwing weed and synthetic weed/incense into the mix. It makes him very emotionally unstable and he does whatever he think will pull him out of his depression. Typically, that means more drugs, or alcohol. He is out of control and has attempted suicide while high at least three times in the past month or two.
Also, his parents aren’t rich. Are there any things that can help them with the immense costs these places seem to carry? (I understand the costs, I just need a way to maybe help them out.)
He attends therapy once a week, but it isn’t enough… 🙁
