Harvard Business Review
Over the course of a typical workday, negative and positive things inevitably happen to you. If you're like most people, you tend to focus mainly, or even exclusively, on negative experiences. They're what you ruminate over, what you talk to your friend about as you're driving home, what you discuss with your partner at night. It sometimes feels good to talk about the negatives — it feels therapeutic. What most people don't realize is that positive experiences — even small ones — provide you with valuable resources that can be used to reduce stress, including physical symptoms such as headaches or muscle tension. They make it easier for you to detach yourself from work at the end of the day.

There is an alarming new trend among heroin users. They're mixing the drug with the synthetic opiate fentanyl — an anesthetic that is 30-to-50 times more potent than heroin, and infinitely more deadly. "The big thing with heroin users now is finding heroin laced with fentanyl," explains Drug Enforcement Agency Spokesperson Matthew Braden to Business Insider. "Fentanyl to the touch in its pure form will kill you by touching it."

Work stress 'damages health as much as secondhand smoke exposure'
Medical News Today
According to new research, work stress damages our health just as much as exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke. Researchers conducted a meta-analysis of 228 studies that looked at the effects of numerous work stressors — such as job insecurity, family-work conflict, high job demands and long work hours — on four health outcomes: the presence of a diagnosed medical condition, self-reported poor physical health, self-reported poor mental health and mortality.

Occupational Health & Safety
There is emerging evidence that many work-related factors and health factors outside the workplace greatly influence the safety and health problems confronting today's workers. Traditionally, workplace safety and health programs have been divided not only by program objectives, managing departments but budgets as well. Safety programs have focused on reducing worker exposure to risk factors in the work environment itself. And most workplace wellness programs have focused on reducing or managing off-the-job lifestyle choices that place workers higher in risk categories. A growing number of research and surveys support the effectiveness of incorporating these efforts into a more holistic approach that addresses an employee's overall well-being.

It is an irony that troubles healthcare providers and policymakers nationwide: Even as public awareness of mental illness increases, a shortage of psychiatrists worsens.
In vast swaths of America, patients face lengthy drives to reach the nearest psychiatrist, if they can even find one willing to see them. Some states are promoting wider use of long-distance telepsychiatry to fill the gaps in care. In Texas, which faces a severe shortage, lawmakers recently voted to pay the student loans of psychiatrists willing to work in underserved areas. A bill in Congress would forgive student loans for child psychiatrists.

Some members of the police force spend their careers holding up under stress, only to succumb, in some cases, to "the last trauma." According to BadgeofLife.com, a great resource dedicated to awareness of PTSD, that last trauma is retirement.
To the newly minted officer on the force retirement is a kind of happy, distant future. Yet 20 years later, retiring from the police force can be a bumpy ride fraught with remembered trauma, broken relationships, and what feels like the rug pulled out from under.
