In group counseling:
1. All members uphold strict confidentiality and anonymity as outlined in the traditions of organizations like AA.
2. The counselor ensures no verbal or physical abuse and the primary purpose is to help others recover from addiction.
3. Groups are free to attend and comprised of members with similar experiences of addiction who support each other's sobriety without judgment.

Rationale for the group
In Massachusetts, we have several groups for substance use both such as AA meetings and , NA meetings that are held in most area areasjust not a sufficient amount. Some. So me groups are also held at treatment centers by alumni which is a great thing because it will provide members with great responsibility skills. Some of the groups like psychoeducation and 12 steps meetings are mainly for those who are going through andchallenges and have a past with substance use. I plan to hold a group not only for those who have been through it but also withhave family members that are looking for resources and better understanding of the disease. The need for substance use group in the Boston, MassMassachusetts community is in high demand. Although Boston is a wide community where the rent can be high and have good paying jobs, many still struggle s with the everyday life stressors that can lead to excessive drinking. In my community I believe that the need for substance use group can benefit so many specifically those in the poverty area, because they are dealing with these issues every day. Also, due to therapy being frown upon in their environment and some lack the ability to seek professional help. Although some may have the need but will not attend due to therapy being frown upon in their environment. Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Make sure you are revising for clarity. I know you said this was a draft, so keeping that In mind Comment by Perjessy, Caroline: Revise for clarity
The purpose of substance use group is to help individuals who are have dealing with anxiety and have an underlining issue like anxiety. Substance use clients with underlining issues like anxiety lack coping skills and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Evidence by, the lack of motivation, traumatic event, exposure to violence, withdrawal, and continuing alcohol or drug use. However, the misuse of alcohol not only can lead to neurological as well as anxiety. Several individuals who are actively using have an underlining issue that has cause them to use excessively rather its depression, bipolar, or anxiety. I will be focusing mainly on anxiety. Anxiety can be something that several deal with in silent or out loud, those who have been impacted by the disease either way many are not getting the help they deservemerit. Especially those who have been impacted with the disease For example, not they feeling at time they are not good enoughenough, the uncertainty of their job,; and will they have their job back; doubts about being accepted back into their familywill they have a family after.

AA Meeting for Group Influence
It has been said that unity is a strength, and a single word can work miracles. It has been the sole foundation of social groups that started being formed across the nation in 1997, with the aim creating a social cohesion and helping certain individuals in their hour of need. Some groups focus on health matters; others focus on addiction while other concentrates on integrating old war and US Iraq War soldiers into the peaceful life in the society after having been psychologically affected by war. The Alcoholics Anonymous (The AA Group) is one among the many social gatherings of today. I noticed such when I first visited last Saturday.
Physical Arrangement
AA meetings can occur anywhere, in an open or a closed setting. The meeting I attended was in a community social hall. Individuals were arranged in rows of three, each row containing three seats. At the front, there was a raised platform like a dais with multiple public relations instruments, some musical instruments tables, and chairs. Usually, the members sat on the chairs, new members mixing with old members (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). The AA's committee members and other associates sat in front of the audience, with other representatives from other social organizations such as LifeRing Secular Recovery, Friends of Nature, Celebrate Recovery, and Secular Organizations for Sobriety (SOS) (Sunstein & Hastie, 2015). It was a traditional group setting. However, one thing was unique. The walls were decorated with charts, fact maps, Sobriety Slogans, and timetables detailing the group’s upcoming activities.
The group’s composition was also unique. I had read from articles that in a majority of AA meetings, racial diversity is usually low, with sexes ranging at a ratio of 65%-35% male to female (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). However, this time, it was unique. The group seemed heterogeneous regarding ethnicity while the male to female sex ratio was 55% to 45%. This implies a racial integration and the breaking of traditional norms. In the past, the issue of alcoholism was stereotyped to men, with ladies having a small percentage. However, with the current rate of modernization, alcoholism is becoming a related problem for both genders (Tonigan, Connors& Miller, 2013). Again, it has always been traditionally known that the aged, preferably 47 years and above are burdened by alcoholism. However, the group member’s age ranged from 18-43years.
Purpose, Mission, and Goals
The primary purpose of AA is to create a group of individuals who share hopes, strengths and experience to solve common problems and also help others recover from alcoholism. AAs mission statements vary with regions (Suns ...

Memory Problem and Dementia
Introduction
Growing up as a kid at about 6years of age, I looked at people with memory issues and dementia as a problem which is diabolical or may be caused by a person’s wicked act or was inflected on a person due to envy. I started having different ideas about memory problems and dementia in my adolescent age, to me, it was a degeneration in the brain. So, what is dementia? “It is a progressive chronic disorder of mental processes caused by damage to the brain, change in personality, brain disease, and memory disorders” (Hubert, & VanMeter, 2018). An article on the American Academy of Neurology stated the brochure about memory problems and dementia was published November 13, 2013. The brochure provided other organizations where people could get more information about this disease and how well to screen and manage people with memory loss and dementia, some of these organization are NIH Alzheimer’s Disease Education and Referral Center, Eldercare locator, and National Memory screening.
Summary of the article on Memory Problem and Dementia
The main topics discussed in this brochure, which we will be discussing starting with, what are the causes of memory problems? Some of the cause of memory loss has been linked to stress, and anxiety or depression, head injury, stroke, to mention a few. If a person makes visiting the doctor for regular health checkups important, most of these issues mentioned could be avoided.
Another topic discussed was, should a family member or friend go with you to the doctor? From my point of view, I would say yes because a close family or friend can explain better what they have noticed and the changes the person with this problem exhibits.
Another main topic discussed was, when should you be concerned about memory problems? When love ones start forgetting the names of people close to them, which is disheartening or forgetting if they have eaten, forget familiar locations, then that should be the best time to seek help from a specialist.
Another main topic discussed was, how can your family or friends help? Some of the ways family and friends can help is to continuously show love and have as much patience in redirecting the patient without hurting their feelings. Also, learn about helpful ways to manage dementia and join support groups.
Some of the information could promote communication between patients and healthcare providers. The patient should make a list of what worries them about the disease and try to be as honest as possible and not assuming the healthcare provider should know everything just by looking at the patient, that would promote communication between patient and healthcare provider. Also, write or bring all medication-taking even, herbals or vitamins (Coleman, 2015).
Evaluation of the Brochure
When I took a good look at this brochure, the step ...
