This document discusses harm reduction approaches in housing programs for individuals experiencing homelessness and substance use disorders. It outlines key principles of harm reduction, including meeting clients where they are at without requiring abstinence, focusing on small positive steps, and avoiding punitive responses to relapses. The stages of change model is reviewed as it applies to engaging clients who are not yet ready to change substance use. Specific harm reduction strategies for housing programs include allowing substance use while providing other services and supports to reduce risks, accepting relapses as part of recovery, and having open conversations about mental health and substance use issues. The goal is to provide compassionate services to as many individuals as possible to improve health and housing stability.
In this lesson, you’ll:
- Learn about your own support needs: Decide when you need support, how much is needed, and from whom.
- Learn how to find people and places for support.
- Understand the benefits and risks of online support.
Empowered Use, Health Consciousness and Prescription Drugs with Special Focus On Parents And The WorkplaceNational data show prescription drug abuse is growing at rates that wellness/lifestyle practitioners can no longer ignore. Coaches and wellness coordinators can benefit from knowledge about prescription misuse in topical areas the presenter will discuss: neuroscience, motivators (pain, mood energy), at-risk populations, and policy as well as mind-body practices as antidotes to the growing epidemic. The presenter will share a presentation developed for Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and that participants can use in their own setting. This presentation has a focus on the workplace and working parents. As this is a relatively new topic not often discussed in wellness practice, participants will be asked to complete a brief follow-up survey asking about the relevance and utility of this topic to their work in the wellness profession.
Psychological first aid (PFA) involves providing humane support to help people cope after a distressing event. It aims to reduce distress and support adaptive functioning.

The goals of PFA are to look out for safety and needs, listen supportively without pressuring people, and link them to information and services.
Sometimes two people can view the same thing in completely different ways. This presentation will illustrate some of the ways that patients and their providers commonly view the same thing in very different ways by sharing views of patients and doctors in a variety of common scenarios.

CANSA places the spotlight on Caregivers this CANSA Care Week 1 – 7 August 2014.
Who is a Caregiver?
A Caregiver is anyone who cares, without being paid, for a friend or family member who is fighting cancer and cannot cope without support.
“We feel that sometimes Caregivers’ loving care and support, which they lend to those affected by cancer, can go unnoticed. We really hope to change that; the wellbeing of a Caregiver is just as important as that of the Survivor they are caring for. This CANSA Care Week, we want to encourage everyone to celebrate and salute all Caregivers
Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP) integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, relapse prevention skills, and mindfulness meditation practice. It is based on Buddhist principles of psychology and aims to help people cope with urges and cravings that could trigger relapse into addictive behaviors. MBRP teaches clients to pay attention to the present moment non-judgmentally through mindfulness practices like meditation. These practices increase awareness of triggers and habitual reactions to develop new coping skills for high-risk situations.
(MBRP) is a treatment approach developed at the Addictive Behaviors Research Center at the University of Washington, for individuals in recovery for addictive behaviors.
MBRP is designed to bring practices of mindful awareness to individuals suffering from the addictive trappings of the mind. These practices are intended to foster increased awareness of triggers, destructive habitual patterns, and “automatic” reactions that seem to control many of our lives. The mindfulness practices in MBRP are designed to help us pause, observe present experience, and bring awareness to the range of choices before each of us in every moment. We learn to respond in ways that serves us, rather than react in ways that are detrimental to our health and happiness. Ultimately, we are working towards freedom from deeply ingrained and often catastrophic habits.
MBRP is designed as an aftercare program integrating mindfulness practices and principles with cognitive-behavioral relapse prevention. It is best suited to individuals who have undergone initial treatment and wish to maintain their treatment gains and develop a lifestyle that supports their well-being and recovery.

The roles of mental health nurses, social workers and primary care workers are outlined in Phil's case study. Good referral practices are discussed like gaining consent and follow up. Whole systems support through mutual aid and community resources is important for recovery.
Relapse is common in recovery from substance use disorders. Triggers for relapse include encountering people or places associated with past drug use, experiencing difficult emotions, or going through stressful life events. Relapse often occurs in stages starting with emotional changes, then mental thoughts about using, and finally physical use of drugs. Effective treatment approaches are based on scientific evidence and address the individual's medical, behavioral, and social needs through long-term therapies and support systems.
The document provides guidelines for effectively breaking bad news to patients. It outlines a six-step protocol: 1) start off well by preparing, ensuring privacy, and including appropriate people; 2) find out what the patient already knows; 3) determine how much the patient wants to know; 4) share the medical information with the patient; 5) respond to the patient's reactions and answer questions; 6) plan follow-up. The goal is to have an open dialogue to share information sensitively based on the patient's needs and desires.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
