Empowering the Disabled to be Proactive

FAR HILLS, N.J., March 31 /PRNewswire/ -- No one wants to think it
could happen to them. Whether you're at work or at home, a disabling injury
or illness can occur at any time. It can prevent us the ability to work,
attend social gatherings and live life as we previously did. Suffering from
a disability can leave a person feeling withdrawn, helpless and depressed.
But it is possible to do things you never envisioned, and even have a
better life.

WINNING THE DISABILITY CHALLENGE: A Practical Guide to Successful
Living by John F. Tholen, Ph.D. (New Horizon Press, April 2008), is the
first book that guides the disabled worker through both the emotional
trauma and occupational disability. Dr. Tholen helps workers negotiate the
complex world of rights and benefits while providing methods to personal
security and self- fulfillment. He explores the frustrations of the newly
disabled maze of disability benefits, while offering one hundred
affirmations that can provide comfort and help disabled people feel
positive about their conditions.

Dr. Tholen presents a winning course of action when handling insurance
companies, signing documents and settling occupational disputes, and he
also provides an inspiring, uplifting message of hope. He believes that
disabled people can become happier and enjoy life even more than before.
WINNING THE DISABILITY CHALLENGE: A Practical Guide to Successful Living
provides step-by- step methods for improving health, managing pain,
battling insomnia and coping with depressive symptoms. Helpful tips and
advice are also included to help answer those "hard to answer" questions
such as "What forms do I need to file?" or "What support groups are there
with other people who share my disability?" This book is ideal for people
with lifelong disabilities, wounded military veterans and those injured on
the job.
