Stigma resistance, described as the capacity to counteract or remain unaffected by the stigma of mental illness, may play a crucial role in the fight against stigma. Little is known, however, about stigma resistance and its correlates in people with eating disorders. This study investigated stigma resistance in people currently diagnosed (n = 325) and recovered (n = 127) from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and EDNOS. Participants completed an Internet survey that included the Stigma Resistance subscale of the Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Scale together with a battery of psychosocial and psychiatric measures. Greater stigma resistance among the currently diagnosed was associated with less marked eating disorder and depression symptoms, higher self-esteem, more positive attitudes about seeking psychological treatment, and lower internalized stigma. Stigma resistance was significantly greater among the recovered than the currently diagnosed (Cohen’s d = 0.25), even after controlling for differences in eating disorder and depression symptoms, attitudes about seeking psychological help, self-esteem, years between symptom onset and diagnosis, and years since diagnosis. A minimal-to-low level of stigma resistance was exhibited by 26.5% of currently diagnosed participants compared to just 5.5% of recovered participants. Stigma resistance is a promising concept that warrants further study. Researchers should consider designing interventions that specifically cultivate stigma resistance in people with eating disorders as a complement to current interventions that target public perceptions of eating disorders. Clinicians may consider incorporating the concept into their practice to help patients rebuff the adverse effects of mental illness stigmatization.

Drug addiction is a chronic disease characterized by drug seeking and use that is compulsive, or difficult to control, despite harmful consequences.
Brain changes that occur over time with drug use challenge an addicted person’s self-control and interfere with their ability to resist intense urges to take drugs. This is why drug addiction is also a relapsing disease.
Relapse is the return to drug use after an attempt to stop. Relapse indicates the need for more or different treatment.
Most drugs affect the brain's reward circuit by flooding it with the chemical messenger dopamine. This overstimulation of the reward circuit causes the intensely pleasurable "high" that leads people to take a drug again and again.
Reviews addiction theory, the Jellenik curve, reasons for use and risk and protective factors related to substance abuse. NBCC, NAADAC, CAADAC, and California Board of Behavioral Sciences approved Mental Health continuing education and addictions counselor training series.

Presentation at the National Prevention Network Conference on September 14, 2017
The percentage of individuals in the United States and NH with past year illicit drug dependence or abuse was highest among young adults between the ages of 18-25. A rapid assessment process was used to do a deeper dive to understand the substance use behaviors of young adults. And to ensure prevention strategies are culturally sensitive and relevant to the target populations, to help inform prevention efforts for early childhood and youth, and to establish baseline data to track implemented prevention efforts.
Themes: Community, physical environment, job opportunities and growth, communication approaches, generational differences, sense of hope or optimism, stress coping mechanisms, perception of substance misuse, consequences of substance misuse, and substance use
Key strategies: Academia/education, peer support, family and friends, key messages, and community resources
Now what? Next steps:
1. The Bureau of Drug and Alcohol Services put out an RFP and will fund 11 of the 13 Regional Public Health Networks to implement young adult strategies (SBIRT; Employers; Peer leadership programs).
2. NAMI to adapt “Connect”, a youth-based suicide prevention train-the-trainer program: “Connect for Young Adults” (MH; suicide; AOD).
3. Develop and roll out a young adult social media campaign with a focus on binge drinking.
4. Second administration of the young adult assessment is being planned for 2019 which will provide important comparison data and indicate if the trends are moving in the right direction.
Power of Near Peers in Driving Impact in Health EducationBonner Foundation
Evan Joy McLaurin, Manager, Business Development and Ann W Peralta, VP, Partnerships, Peer Health Exchange
Participants will experience directly the power of Peer Health Exchange’s innovative and interactive skill- building program that uses college students as near- peer educators, discuss the strengths and limitations of the near-peer model and its correlation with known impact to date. Then participants will break into small groups and co-design a new workshop based on an unmet need or an un-addressed skill necessary for health education. Each group will design learning objectives, core skill-building activities, and potential assessments.

2. Students and parents are often
concerned with different aspects of
college . . .
StudentsStudents: with fitting in (making
friends) and having a good time
(partying)
ParentsParents: with success (grades)
and preparing for a bright future
(getting a well-paying job)
3. College presents challenges:
- managing independence/responsibility
- time management/priority management
- deciding what to do with one’s life
- sorting values, politics, faith, worldview
- fitting in to a large, diverse “weird” group
- culture of drug and alcohol abuse
“hookups” vs. lasting relationships
Why is Transition Difficult?
5. • Is it OK to spend 1-2 years figuring out what
they want to focus on? Why not 2 yr schools?
• What about dropping classes, changing
majors?
• Is the bottom line their GPA?
• Do you expect them to live out your values?Do you expect them to live out your values?
• What about alcohol or drug use?
• Is there balance between studying and fun?
• When do they lose your financial support?
Keep Them Grounded
6. Key Things Parents Can Do
• Get your student’s ID # and password so you
have access to their grades
• Get a copy of each class syllabus: quizzes,
papers, test - due dates, faculty office hours
• Get dates for first add/drop date and final
add/drop date for classes
• Get to know their roommates/suitemates
parent’s – emails and phone numbers
• Get name and number of RA’s, RHD’s
7. Homesickness

roots”, and use the many supports here

• Don’t let them wait too long to start asking for help here
Common Suggestions
13. The “Big Picture” is keeping
the relationship strong. No one
cares how much you know until
they know how much you care.
•A listening ear, “I know that must be very hard.”
•Encouragement, “I know you can do it.”
Your Love and Support is Crucial
15. • Social withdrawal
• Marked change in appearance, hygiene
• Excessive self-criticism
• Tearful calls home outnumber the others
• Talk of hopelessness
• Excessive fatigue or lethargic mood
• Extreme increases in energy, rapid speech
• Inability to think and concentrate: dramatic
change in grades
• References to suicide or self-harm, vague or not

parents when a student is so intoxicated they are required to go to the
nearest emergency room for evaluation.
• Ticketing of individuals supplying underage students with alcohol/drugs,
and informing their parents (includes holding party hosts responsible if
an underage drinking is found)
• Education of students and parents on college alcohol policy and state
laws during Newcomers Orientation and throughout the school year.
• Social host liability training. Educating those holding parties what their
ethical and legal obligations are for the safety of those who attend.
25. Allow Them NOT to Go to College
First 2 yrs are trulyFirst 2 yrs are truly “finding yourself”“finding yourself”
Stress Management Out of the Box:
26. Explore all the options with them
• Take time off, explore the world, find passion
• Engage in community service, volunteer
• Get a job and find out what they do and don’t
like to do – interests may not match talents
• Join the military – good training, pay and
benefits
• Start off at a community college, Tech School,
online school – gradual transitions, closer to
home may be best for some
