Providing Hope to Families Affected by Addiction, Part I: Unique Community Support Programs
Counselor Magazine
Addiction often causes havoc and suffering for families or concerned significant others (CSOs). Stress, anger, anxiety, worry, depression, confusion, family conflict, broken relationships, loss of trust, and financial problems are common effects of addiction on families or CSOs (Daley & Douaihy, 2019; Gross, Lagos, Yessengaliyeva, LaCasse, & Liepman, 2018). Grief and trauma are also common for those who lose loved ones as the result of drug overdoses, accidents, suicides, or medical complications caused or exacerbated by addiction (Daley, 2017).

Prevention: Creating Positive Change That Lasts
Counselor Magazine
Prevention works! However, prevention’s only proof of value is when the data shows change is moving in the right direction. The strategic prevention framework (SPF) used in prevention practice offers a map to a systemic, data-driven process for community-level change. We may feel that it is working, but it does not matter how well the program, practice, or policy is received if there is no way to examine whether or not there is a positive effect within the community.

Certified Professionals
IC&RC
IC&RC can facilitate reciprocity of an IC&RC recognized credential from one IC&RC Member Board to another. Reciprocity can greatly ease the transition of a credential from one IC&RC Member Board to another, however, varying licensure laws, rules and regulations and scopes of practice from one jurisdiction to another can complicate reciprocity.

Legalized pot tied to rise in young men's suicide attempts
HealthDay News via U.S. News & World Report
States that make marijuana a readily available retail item might see an increase in self-harm among younger men, a new study suggests.
Researchers found a correlation between U.S. states' shifting marijuana policies and rates of self-harm among men younger than 40. Those rates -- which include suicide attempts and non-suicidal behaviors like cutting -- increased in states that legalized, and in some cases "commercialized," recreational marijuana.

Teen depression linked to how the brain processes rewards
Science News for Students
Feeling sad. Sleeping too much. Not wanting to do things that used to be fun. Such feelings may come and go throughout adolescence. But if they last more than two weeks, they can be signs of depression. It’s a serious mental health disorder that requires treatment. And it’s remarkably common in teens. By age 18, one in four will experience at least one bout of depression. In fact, that may not be surprising, since stress appears to be a major trigger.
