This document discusses different perspectives on what constitutes "recovery" from substance abuse. It summarizes research that identified 5 classes of individuals in recovery based on their responses to a survey about elements of recovery: 1) 12-step traditionalists, who strongly endorsed abstinence and spiritual elements consistent with 12-step programs. 2) 12-step enthusiasts, similar but with more moderate endorsement of spirituality. 3) Secular individuals, with lower endorsement of abstinence and spiritual elements. 4) Self-reliant individuals, who emphasized independence. 5) Atypical individuals, who did not fit other categories. The research suggests definitions of recovery should be inclusive of diverse paths and perspectives.

1) The United States is facing an unprecedented opioid epidemic and public health crisis, with drug overdose deaths nearly tripling between 1999-2014 and an estimated 75,000 Americans dying of drug overdoses in 2016 alone.
2) The current numbers do not fully capture the severity of the problem, and the author predicts over 100,000 people will die of drug overdoses in 2017. Those in recovery and the recovery community must make recovery their top priority and voice to inspire others seeking help.
3) To significantly reduce the number of people affected by this crisis, society must come together with a united voice and shared goals through the recovery community to accomplish solutions and create a nation that does not destroy itself from
Face Forward Organization is a nonprofit that provides assistance to victims of domestic violence through counseling, medical treatment, legal assistance, and education.

The document is a speech outline about the dangers of drugs. It discusses several key points: (1) Sedative drugs like alcohol and heroin can lead to overdose or accidents from impaired coordination. Physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms are also risks. (2) Hallucinogenic drugs can cause disturbing experiences and erratic behavior, especially in unstable people. Drug use can also lead to legal problems if arrested. (3) Injecting drugs carries high risks of infection from blood-borne diseases like HIV and hepatitis from sharing equipment. The speaker concludes that drug experimentation can be dangerous due to a lack of experience and ignorance about effects.
The organization’s goal is to help the people who had faced domestic violence or gang aggression. The main purpose of the organization is to help them physically and mentally to give a meaning to their life.

This document discusses aging and the physical, mental, and social changes that occur as people get older. Physically, aging can result in less strength, weaker senses, brittle bones, and reduced mobility. Mentally, the mind can still learn but dementia and Alzheimer's disease may occur. Socially, older adults may experience the loss of a spouse, mandatory retirement, and less involvement in community activities resulting in loneliness. The document also lists several programs and services available in the Philippines to support the needs of older adults, such as senior citizen clubs that provide discounts, financial assistance, and homes for the aged that are funded through donations.
A 12-year-old was molested by their father while he was intoxicated. The family does not want to report the incident to authorities. The document recommends obeying the law, engaging in therapeutic sessions for the family, and providing support. It concludes with a quote emphasizing that humanity as a whole remains good even when some parts are flawed.

Gloria Brooks – 2014 nominee for Modern Healthcare's Community Leadership Award.
The success of the healthcare industry depends on leaders who define themselves by leading efforts to change lives and contribute to their communities through their work. But many go above and beyond commitments central to their roles, reaching out to support causes that may be wholly unrelated to healthcare, but which build and sustain strong communities and the quality of life within them. Modern Healthcare's Community Leadership Awards was established to recognize these leaders while bringing attention to the worthy causes they support.

Reciclar consiste en separar los materiales y usarlos varias veces para hacer nuevos productos y reducir el uso de recursos naturales.
El documento describe el cambio climático como una gran amenaza para la biodiversidad y la economía mundial.

SXSW Interactive Presentation from The Partnership at Drugfree.orgAnastasia Goodstein
The Partnership at Drugfree.org is dedicated to preventing teen substance abuse. It was founded in 1986 and runs the largest public service campaign on the issue. The organization partners with groups like WeeWorld to educate teens about the risks of drug and alcohol use through the story of a real person in recovery. Their campaigns on social media and other sites generate millions of impressions and increased traffic to their prevention resources.
The document provides information about an organization called Saving Innocence that works to rescue sexually trafficked children and help them recover. It discusses:
- Saving Innocence was founded by Kim Biddle in 2003 after she witnessed the effects of sex trafficking in other countries and realized it was also happening domestically.
- Biddle notes that sexually trafficked children are often not viewed as victims by the legal and social systems due to misconceptions about prostitution and age of consent. Saving Innocence aims to change these perceptions.
- Intern Rachel Burnett wants to change the language used to discuss sex trafficking, as terms like "prostitute" normalize the abuse of trafficked children.
This document discusses the cause of cancer advocacy for young adults. It notes that nearly 70,000 young Americans ages 15-40 are diagnosed with cancer each year, yet there has been no improvement in survival rates or quality of life for them in 30 years. Young adults face unique issues that are not addressed by traditional cancer research. The document outlines the goals of improving survival rates, quality of life, and addressing the unmet needs of young adult cancer patients and survivors. It introduces the nonprofit organization i[2]y, which aims to empower young adults affected by cancer and ensure no survivor feels alone through various online and offline programs and services.
beyondblue is launching a new campaign to help teenagers realize that experiencing depression or anxiety means their mind is giving them difficulties, not that something is wrong with them as a person. The campaign aims to empower teenagers to seek support through quirky ads depicting an annoying brain character causing symptoms. It also directs them to a website with resources like a mental health quiz and programs to manage issues like anxiety. The goal is to reduce the stigma preventing teenagers from seeking help for their mental health and ultimately lower Australia's high suicide rate among youth.

Bonnie Bricker Creating a Light at the End of the TunnelBrian Campbell
Bonnie Bricker's son Reid went missing after being discharged from the hospital following multiple suicide attempts. Bricker is working to change the way the mental health system handles crisis situations like Reid's. The current system lacks proper protocols for discharging suicidal patients and does not provide adequate follow-up care or resources for mental health emergencies outside of regular business hours. Bricker is advocating for reforms like improved privacy laws, mandatory follow-up care, and increased community support programs to help prevent other families from experiencing what hers did.

on YouTube
Story highlightsChiara de Blasio says on YouTube she's struggled with depression, drinking,
marijuanaShe also talks about the outpatient treatment that put her on the road to recoveryShe says
she wants to help others deal with similar problems and tells them where to find helpHer parents
issue a statement supporting the video and her commitment to help othersChiara de Blasio,
daughter of New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, has struggled with clinical depression and
drug abuse, the 19-year-old revealed in a YouTube video posted Christmas Eve.
"I've had depression, like clinical depression, for my entire adolescence," de Blasio says in the video.
"It made it easier, the more I drank and did drugs, to share some common ground with people that I
wouldn't have. It didn't start out as a huge thing for me but then it became a really huge thing for
me."
In the video, de Blasio speaks about drinking and smoking marijuana when she was in college, as
well as the outpatient treatment that started her on the road to recovery.
De Blasio's father sailed to a landslide victory last month over Republican candidate Joe Lhota to
become New York's first Democratic mayor in more than 20 years. One key to his victory was a
connection with voters, formed in part via his mixed-race family, particularly his son, Dante, and
wife, Chirlane McCray, who played a prominent role on the campaign trail.
Chiara's story has until now stayed out of the public eye.
"As parents, our instinct has been to protect our daughter and privately help her through a deeply
personal struggle," her parents said in an e-mail to supporters that linked to the video. "But not only
has Chiara committed to her own health, she is also committed to helping young people everywhere
who face similar challenges."
Professionally shot and edited, the YouTube video was released under an account bearing Chiara de
Blasio's name. It directs viewers to visit ok2talk.org, an organization that encourages youth who
struggle with mental illness to talk about their experiences.
According to the video, Chiara de Blasio has completed treatment and is now trying to reach out to
others.
"It's just important for people to realize, anybody who is watching this, that if you're suffering and if
you're depressed, you're dealing with mental illness, and you think that it might have something to
do with your drug abuse or drinking, or if you're just suffering from both of those at the same time
and you think that they're completely unrelated to one another," she says, "getting sober is always a
positive thing."
De Blasio makes minimal reference to her parents, not naming either and mentioning only that both
were "very emotionally committed to try to figure out some way to get me better."

de Blasio says, although she doesn't specify that it was the mayoral race.
White House Drug Policy Director Gil Kerlikowske issued a statement Tuesday afternoon praising
the young de Blasio for speaking out.
"Chiara is giving a voice to the millions who suffer from substance use and mental health disorders,
and we encourage others to join her," he said.
"By talking about addiction in the light of day -- and by celebrating recovery out loud -- we can help
correct the misinformation and stigma that too often become obstacles for the millions of Americans
who deserve to live healthy, productive lives," Kerlikowske said.
De Blasio decided to speak out "because people are suffering from this disease and dying from this
disease every day. And we really can't do anything as a society to help those people until we start
talking about it," she says. "And nobody can do sobriety on their own."
