Project title: "Reducing Insomnia in Homeless Women with the Mantram Repetition Program".The fastest-growing segment of the homeless population are women, and families headed by women. The Mantram Repetition Program (MantramRP)is a portable meditation-based program which teaches the frequent, silent, intermittent repetition of a self-selected word. The portability of the MantramRP allows women to use the intervention anywhere and anytime. Improving insomnia and physiological and psychological stress symptoms could improve overall health, potentially lowering the use of costly care. The ease of teaching the intervention allows for its incororation into existing homeless programs nationally. 15000 35289 X Doris A Howell MD Chair Emeritus 3.00 0 Kathleen A Franklin Vice Chair 12.00 0 Abigail D'Agostino AssistSecretary 3.00 0 Peggy R Oechsle Director 3.00 0 Jessica Zhang Director 3.00 0 Skai Krisans PhD Director 3.00 0 Priscilla Moxley Director 3.00 0 Cheryl A Wilson RNMA Director 3.00 0 Linda G Osborne CPA CFO 3.00 0 Carole Banka PhD Chairman 12.00 0 Brad Benter Secretary 3.00 0 Andrea Z LaCroix Director 3.00 0 Bonnie Mendenhall Director 3.00 0 Carol Tuggey Director 3.00 0 Betty Brayshay Director 3.00 0 Mandy Butler Director 3.00 0 Stacy Carota Director 3.00 0 Hamilton Loeb Jr Director 3.00 0 Pattie Wellborn Director 3.00 0 Carolyn Northrup Director 5.00 0 Kay Christian Pierce Treasurer 5.00 0 Irving Tragen Director 3.00 0 X false false false false false false false false 0 0 false false CA Tanya Fortuna 7514 Girard Avenue 1-320 La Jolla CA 920375149 8583508980 false false false false false false false false false false false false false NONE NONE true X 64240 74953 76844 97572 85945 399554 0 0 64240 74953 76844 97572 85945 399554 0 399554 2404 4821 5673 6071 5106 24075 0 0 423629 0.94320 0.94940 X Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.1 | Donee's Name: Univ of CA Regents-San Diego | Donee's Address: 1111 Franklin Street Oakland CA 94607 | Relationship of Donee: None | Cash Amount Given: $20000 Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.2 | Donee's Name: San Diego State University | Donee's Address: 5250 Campanile Drive San Diego CA 92182 | Relationship of Donee: None | Cash Amount Given: $19250 Grants and Similar Amounts Paid In Excess of $5,000.3 | Donee's Name: USD Hann School of Nursing | Donee's Address: 5998 Alcala Park San Diego CA 92110 | Relationship of Donee: None | Cash Amount Given: $21000 Other Expenses.1001 Advertising and Promotion $588 Other Expenses.1002 Office Expenses $1566 Other Expenses.1009 Depreciation $307 Other Expenses.1012 Insurance $2476 Other Expenses.1 Luncheon Lecture Expenses $21004 Other Expenses.2 Evening Series $5153 Other Expenses.3 Symposium $1904 Other Expenses.4 Bank & Credit Card Fees $1785 Other Expenses.5 Newsletter $856 Other Expenses.6 Telephone $697 Other Expenses.9 Website Fees $509 Other Expenses.10 Miscellaneous $79 Other Expenses.11 Government Fees/Taxes $70 Other Assets.1003 Machinery and Equipment - Beginning $416 Machinery and Equipment - Ending $250 Other Assets.1004 Miscellaneous - Beginning $149 Miscellaneous - Ending $352
