Generational effects: What public health administrative data tells us about heroin use disorder
Counselor Magazine
Illicit use of heroin has been a major public health crisis in the United States for decades, and the more recent availability of other opioid-based substances has caused the number of heroin users to increase further. More than seventy thousand Americans died from drug overdoses in 2017, from both illicit drugs and prescription opioids — a two-fold increase in a decade (NIDA, 2020).

Virtual reality: Is peer support tele-health the future of recovery support?
ARCC
Representatives Tony Cardenas (CA-29) and Paul Tonko (NY-20) introduced the Virtual Community Support Act last week. The act is aimed to strengthen community-based and peer support services virtually both during and after the pandemic. A press release from the office of Tony Cardenas says the bill, “Would create a new program at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to provide training and development to increase the workforce, enable providers and peers to move their services virtually, and help identify and coordinate care for those who need access to multiple services.” This bill was included in the Health, Equity, Access, Resources, Treatment (HEART) package that Representative Cardenas released last month.

Are punitive rules forcing doctors to hide their mental health problems?
The Guardian
Dr Mary Dinh, 31, described her medical training during the pandemic as a soul-crushing experience. She constantly feared that she would bring home the virus from lack of PPE, used one N95 mask until it disintegrated and saw 13 patients die in one day at her Pennsylvania hospital. Dinh felt hopeless seeing unprecedented death, her colleagues struggle with depression and a fellow resident attempt suicide.

California could create new hotline for mental health calls
Santa Monica Daily Press
California would take a step toward having counselors rather than police respond to people experiencing mental health crises under a bill backed Monday by gun-violence prevention groups.

Sober living for everyone is rising in popularity as Chrissy Teigen, more ditch drinking
USA Today
At the beginning of the global pandemic, uncorking a bottle of wine seemed to be the thing to do. A grip on a champagne stem felt like a grip on life, virtual happy hours were all the rage and there were plenty of memes about drinking making the rounds. But a year into quarantine, Dry January has come and gone, yet evidence suggests sobriety is sticking around.

The big number: Up to 90% rise in depression among college students in pandemic's early months, study finds
The Washington Post
The rate of depression among college students was up to 90 percent higher in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic, compared with pre-pandemic levels, according to an analysis of how disruptions in students’ daily life affected their mental health. At highest risk for depression were students whose physical activity declined the most in that time period — for instance, being active one to two hours less a day, or dropping from 10,000 to 4,600 steps a day.
