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.

Enough is enough: We must help our youth in need
ARCC
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for youth according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The suicide rates among youth in California has continued to rise over the years, making a clear cause for concern that more attention needs to be taken. To make matters worse, a state auditor’s report released last fall had appalling revelations on just how little is actually being done to prevent suicide deaths among youth in California in select school districts. After being the one to request the report, Assemblymember Rudy Salas introduced Assembly Bill 58 because the information revealed that there was not enough work being done. This bill will address the increase in youth suicides and self-harm across the state by improving youth suicide prevention within schools.

How to calm your anxiety about returning to the office
Quartz
A therapist once called me a garden-variety neurotic (a compliment), but that label hasn’t felt accurate lately.
All the talk about returning to work in the office has dialed up my anxiety. I’ve been lucky enough that I could work remotely for the past year, unlike frontline workers. But now I can’t imagine taking the subway to my office.
