The certainties of yesterday may not be adequate for today
Counselor Magazine
Donna Johnson writes: I began my career in the justice system almost twenty-eight years ago and worked in many areas of the system: in corrections, probation, youth services, the legal field, and finally in community mental health and substance use treatment. Throughout my career, substance use disorder (SUD) treatment had very specific philosophies and language for treatment. Unfortunately, many of those things we thought we were doing well were, in hindsight, just woefully inadequate.

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.

Older adults report better mental health than younger ones during pandemic
AARP
Older adults have been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. They’re at a far higher risk of experiencing complications from the virus, and many have suffered from the mental health effects of isolation from families and friends. About 255 of people in their 60s reported having symptoms of anxiety in the previous seven days, for instance, in a February Household Pulse survey by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Census Bureau. But the older population has held up remarkably well compared with the population at large, experts say.
