Mackenzie Phillips Thanks Judge for Rehab Opportunity
We’re grateful to see Mackenzie Phillips’ recovery going so well!
Phillips, who starred on “Celebrity Rehab” season 3, learned today that the drug-related charges she faced as a result of her 2008 arrest have been dropped after the completion of a successful rehabilitation program at the Pasadena Recovery center.
Phillips also attended the Prism Awards recently. There she stated: “It’s very important that we have empathy and compassion for addicts and people suffering from mental illness. I think that by rewarding the shows that treat it in a great light,…it’s just really an important thing to do.”
Understand, Prevent and Resolve Life’s Challenges
Hey folks, here is a great resource on health topics. Helpguide.org is a website with the mission to help people understand, prevent, and resolve many of life’s challenges.
This organization empowers people with knowledge and hope. Their goal is to give you the information and encouragement you need to take charge of your health and well-being and make healthy choices.
Helpguide was launched in 1999, following the suicide of Robert and Jeanne Segal’s daughter, Morgan. Her family believes that Morgan’s tragedy could have been avoided if she had had easy access to supportive health information. The mission of helpguide.org is to honor her memory and compassionate spirit by providing balanced, up-to-date, and motivating information about mental health, relationships, and lifelong wellness. See Morgan’s Story here.
