SUD treatment declared a vital sector of healthcare
Office of National Drug Control Policy
Dear Colleagues:
As the country continues its battle against COVID-19, I am encouraged and inspired, not
only by the efforts of all of our healthcare workers who are helping confront this pandemic, but
also for those individuals dedicated to maintaining high-quality care for non-coronavirus
patients. I write to you today on behalf of some of those individuals, specifically millions of
Americans living with Substance Use Disorder (SUD), and those caring for them.

Adolescents and pornography: A generation of disconnection and addiction
Counselor Magazine
Any useful analysis of adolescents and pornography must first start with facts. The first and most important fact to understand is that kids engage with and through technology as much if not more than they engage face-to-face with actual, in-the-flesh people. Children born in the US and other first-world nations, and even many second and third-world na-tions, live in an Internet-enabled, deeply digital universe. They are ìdigital natives.

Counselor Magazine
Adolescence, by its very nature, is full of turmoil as we transition developmentally from childhood to adulthood. These are the hurricane years when the winds pull us in many directions, sometimes even unpredictably throwing us off course, changing our lives quickly and in frightening ways.

Meaningless scrolling impacts our mental health
Happiful Magazine
Kat Nicholls writes: "Just before I started writing this, an alert came up on my phone with my weekly screen-time report. Instead of looking at it, I swiped the notification away because I knew the numbers wouldn't be pretty.

Which triggers trigger your emotions and substance use?
R1 Learning
Substance use triggers are high on the list of areas to look out for on the road of recovery and are the focus of today’s post.
In early recovery, physical cravings from withdrawal and compulsive addictive thinking were at the core of my inability to stop drinking. I’ve learned that these mental obsessions, withdrawal symptoms, and physical cravings are normal for substance users at any phase of their addiction, but certainly a major barrier in the later phases of this progressive disease.

Coronavirus isolation could mean death for America's opioid addicts
New York Post
It is two days before Brian McCarthy is supposed to celebrate a very important occasion in his life: 11 years of sobriety. This kind of moment is typically shared joyfully with friends and fellow members of the recovery community.
Instead, McCarthy will be isolated, like most of us, away from the spread of the coronavirus.

I chose Alcohol and Drug counseling because I thought it would help me get my foot in the door for an opportunity in psychology. I am really interested in the psychological aspect of this field. Last year during my senior year of high school I took a psychology class and really liked it.

School counselors and social workers focused on student emotional health
Daily Herald
Stay home, do school digitally, social-distance from friends, no dances or activities, or traditional graduations ... it's pretty easy to see how this could be an emotionally devastating time for students of all ages.
That's why school counselors and social workers throughout Utah Valley have stepped up their efforts to help students deal with what they are feeling as they face the world-shattering changes caused by efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Facebook publishes study on the mental health impact of social comparison
Search Engine Journal
Facebook commissioned a study of the psychological impact of social comparison, which can be triggered by what people see on social media.
Social media use continues to rise while much of the population remains under stay at home orders.
With that being the case, it's important to understand the effects that social media can have on our mental health.
