We may not be able to stop natural or human made mass disasters, losses from major epidemics, or acts of random violence from happening in our world - from the international opiate epidemic, to the mass shooting in Las Vegas, to the Grenfell Tower disater in London, but we can take steps to prevent the mental and physical damage this trauma can do to individuals, families and communities. By working through natural change agents as Family and Community Links, we empower those communities and families to build resilience and lead healthier lives in the present and for future generations. This presentation will review several studies and clinical vignettes that illustrate the benefit of mobilising individuals, families, and communities to build positive attachment and to draw on their intergenerational strengths and resilience. Practical methods of assessment, mapping, and intervention that consider all levels of individual, family and community involvement and collaboration will be presented.

Children living in poverty face overwhelming stress that hinders their cognitive and social development. Growing up in high-stress environments correlates with higher rates of mental illness and weakened development. The constant state of stress deteriorates children's mental health and cognitive abilities needed for academic and social success. Additionally, untreated mental illness is common among impoverished children due to the high costs of treatment and lack of access to resources. This perpetuates a cycle where poverty increases the risks of mental illness and vice versa.

1) Gender issues in health include biological, physical and social differences between males and females that can impact health outcomes.
2) Key statistics provided on population and vital statistics for India show males outnumber females and females have lower sex ratios and higher mortality rates.
3) Many health conditions like heart disease, stroke, malaria and tuberculosis disproportionately impact males and females due to differences in risk factors, social roles and access to care.
Gender issues can impact health in several ways. Biologically, men and women have differences in chromosomes, hormones, physiology and risk factors for certain diseases. Socially, gender roles and inequalities influence access to resources and health outcomes. For many diseases like heart disease, stroke and tuberculosis, prevalence and mortality rates differ between men and women. Gender also affects exposure and vulnerability to conditions like malaria, HIV and road traffic accidents. Addressing gender in health policies, programs and research is crucial to promote equality and improve health for all.

Title: Working with Traumatized Children and Families across Culture
Presenter: Vincenzo Di Nicola, MPhil, MD, FRCPC, DFAPA
Professor of Psychiatry, University of Montreal and The George Washington University
Abstract:
This presentation outlines a model of working with traumatized children and families across culture. When it comes to trauma in children, we need to address three basic questions:
(1) why development matters, (2) why family matters, and (3) why culture matters (Di Nicola,
1992, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2012a, 2012b, 2012c, 2018; Di Nicola & Song, forthcoming). These three aspects of children’s lives are reviewed as key critical contexts to understand the “sequential traumatizing” (Keilson, 1992) of young people as highlighted in two clinical vignettes. In the first vignette, “A Train of Traumas,” the layers of the trauma history of an immigrant child and his family from the Maghreb are teased out as an imbricated series of triggers across developmental, cultural and family predicaments that arise from the “exile situation” (Wenk-Anshohn, 2007). “The Memory Clinic,” the second vignette, revisits the story of an adolescent refugee from a war-torn country in the Middle East whose quest was to forget her trauma. Exposed first to civil war and the loss of her family, then arriving in Montreal as a refugee with her extended family where she was abused, this vignette presents issues about how to create the conditions for listening to the “trauma story” (Mollica, 2009) as enlightened witnesses and the emerging understanding of traumatic memory through identity narratives (Novac, et al, 2017). Together, these vignettes highlight the conditions required for the practice of “trauma-informed care” with children and families across culture.
Keywords: Sequential traumatisation, cultural family therapy, transcultural child psychiatry, trauma-informed care, identity narrative
This document summarizes topics explored and presentations given by students in Ms. Lyons' capstone class. The topics included global warming, sexual orientation, depression, immigration, obesity, water pollution, sexually transmitted diseases, high school dropouts, recycling, computer hacking, divorce, and gang violence. For each topic, students presented findings and conclusions and sometimes recommended further actions. Thank you to Ms. Lyons' class for exploring these important issues.

Stu Fenton will address the many specificities of the LGBT communities and individualities through a multifaceted approach linking identity quest, painful stigmas of Chemsex and addiction, and most importantly the courage and mindfulness of a community facing its challenges with hope and determination. We have so much to learn here.
Could it well be that a Minority is actually leading the Majority by example of self-discovery and self-introspection? As Stu Fenton & al. proposed in Berlin in 2018: “Surely gay culture is not just something depressing? It’s also about self-discovery, adventure, relating to a group of peers, have meaningful relations, reaching out to others in order to lift each other up and having all sorts of primal instincts satisfied.”

How does the alcoholic or addicted individual effect the family and community? In what way do they equally become sick? What does intervention, treatment and aftercare look like for the family and how does this effect the individual with addiction?
This masterclass will examine the origins of addiction throughout a family’s history and find new ways to transform those old stories of shame and blame to survival and resilience. Participants will be provided a number of key points aimed at enhancing professional knowledge and performance. We will examine alternative ways to think beyond individual treatment, which include the entire family not only though current Family Therapy models, but by examining the stories and pain of past generations. This cutting-edge thinking regarding family work can transform the lives of generations yet to come who may escape the prison of addiction due to our ability to stand with our clients in their multigenerational story of trauma and adaptation. In conclusion, participants will examine how family therapy techniques including examining generations of Transgenerational Grief provide an opportunity for feelings that have been previously denied and lost in the family story can be named, explored, reframed and viewed as strength and hope.

1) Unaddressed trauma, abuse, loss and family dysfunction can negatively impact children's development and mental health, potentially leading to addictive behaviors, revictimization, depression and anxiety.
2) Trauma responses like hyperarousal and hypoarousal can become chronic over time and manifest as trauma symptoms if not resolved.
3) Addictions often develop as a means of self-medicating for underlying trauma-related pain and dysregulation. The interaction

Diagnostic approaches applied in psychiatry are often criticized and deemed unsatisfactory because of their relative lack of reliability and validity. One reason for this complexity lies in the purely symptomatic approach to diagnosis. This approach also results in misdiagnosis, difficulties and high risk of aberrant therapeutic choices. The problem is also the source of great difficulty in differentiating the normal from the pathological in situations of emotional and psychological distress that should not be the subject of a psychiatric diagnosis.

Yin and yang are opposing but interconnected forces that balance each other. Yin represents femininity, darkness, and passivity while yang symbolizes masculinity, light, and activity. EnerQi is the life force that circulates within us and carries an energetic vibration called qi. Maintaining balanced enerqi through diet, exercise, sleep, sexuality, and meditation can raise one's energetic frequency and improve health and well-being. Traditional Chinese medicine views the body's health in terms of balancing yin, yang, and qi through addressing root imbalances rather than surface-level symptoms.

So as clinicians and treatment providers how do we deal with this epidemic in terms of numbers and the resultant increased disclosures and presentations?
iCAAD London 2019 - Chip Somers - REHAB – DEAD OR ALIVE?iCAADEvents
This document summarizes and compares the strengths and weaknesses of harm reduction and abstinence-based approaches to addiction treatment. Harm reduction strengths include being geographically broad, preventing clients from feeling alone, providing health checks and paraphernalia, and having a non-judgmental approach. However, it is noted that harm reduction has weaknesses such as low success rates, clients still dying, and substitute addictions developing. Abstinence-based treatment is seen as providing a safe place without pressure, addressing underlying issues, and having a community for support. But it also has weaknesses like only advocating one approach, potential abusive practices, and a judgmental view of relapse. In the end, the document calls for services to

Furthermore, the time constraints and workload in healthcare settings can make it challenging for caregivers to prioritise safe patient handling Australia practices, leading to shortcuts and increased risks.
This particular slides consist of- what is hypotension,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

surpass last year’s profits for the
American heroin business.
RISING DEATH TOLL:
• Fentanyl (a synthetic opioid)
being introduced into the heroin
supply
• Doses are cheaper and more
deadly
• Carfentanil and other synthetic
opioids do not respond to
treatments like naloxone
https://inrecovery.com/how-did-cincinnati-become-heroins-ground-zero/
13. Using social media Web sites is among the most common activity of children
and adolescents:
• By age 2, more than 90% of all American children have an online history
• By 5 years old, nearly 50% interact with a computer or tablet
• By 7-8 years old, many kids regularly play video games
• 9 of 10 teens text and use social media
O’Keeffe et al., 2011
Digital technology and social media dominate personal
relationships, family and social interaction, daily habits
and even primary thinking processes:
14. • A 15-year-long study
by University of
Michigan researchers
found that the link
between childhood
TV-violence viewing
and aggressive
behavior persists into
adulthood.

THE PERFECT STORM
21. Regardless of genetic
factors, the onset of
addiction is almost
always connected to:
• Significant death (especially
if untimely)
• Abuse (Physical, sexual or
emotional)
• Natural or human-made
disaster
22. CONSEQUENCES
OF TRAUMA
Far far away, behind the word mountains,
far from the countries Vokalia and
Consonantia, there live the blind texts.
Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove
right at the coast of the Semantics, a
large language ocean.
• Attachment disorder
• Depression and suicide
• PTSD
• Substance abuse
• Process addictions
• Mental illness
• Cardiac stress & other
pulmonary illness
• Physical illnesses
35. FAMILES ARE THE BASE
UNIT OF THE COMMUNITY
• The consequences of trauma, mental illness
and addiction extend well beyond the
individual directly impacted
• Healing of trauma and its consequences
require more than one individual
• Without involving families we lose our most
important resource
• Working without individuals, families and
communities the risk of long-term
consequences of the trauma is increased
36. IMPORTANCE
OF FAMILIES
• Families are the primary source of many
health-related beliefs and behaviors
• Families provide a more accurate picture of
the individual’s symptoms and compliance
than the individual alone
• Relapses and continued use/illness may
be associated with depression or chronic
physical illness in another family member
• Frequent and unexplained relapses in a
chronic illness may be associated with
living with a family member with addiction
or mental illness
McDaniel, Campbell & Seaburn (1990)
37. THE KEY BELIEFS OF THE COLLABORATIVE TEAM
FOR LONG-TERM HEALING
• The family (and family history over generations) will help the collaborative team discover why there are
problems here and now
• The risk of addiction in future generations is great if past trauma, stress and grief are unresolved
• Families are more motivated and more impactful than their professional allies
• When recovery work is focused on an addicted individual in isolation, the family almost always unwittingly and
unconsciously sabotages the effort
• Recovery only happens when individual and family realize both the magnitude of the problem and that there is
hope
• The collaborative team also needs to believe in hope
43. INTERGENERATIONAL
STUDY • This intergenerational adaptation gets
perpetuated down the generations as “a way of
being,”
• If someone tries to go into recovery before the
grieving is done, the the addicted individual
relapses …subconsciously triggering
reconnection
• Between 3rd and 5th generations, the trauma is
forgotten and the grief has been naturally
resolved through the passage of time and people
move into recovery.
46. CONNECTEDNESS STUDY 1
Measures
1. Sexual risk-taking
2. Frequency of contact with extended family
3. Knowledge of family stories across time
Subjects
Women in a Sexually Transmitted Disease Clinic compared with
women in Social Community Center
Results
Measures of frequency of contact and knowledge of family stories
held up together and separately and both correlated with reduced
sexual risk-taking
Landau, et al, 2000
47. CONNECTEDNESS STUDY 2
Measures Same as study 1
Subjects
Troubled adolescent girls. Quantitative results were similar. Then
analyzed stories for themes of resilience vs. vulnerability
Results
1. Least risk-taking correlated to themes of resilience
2. Next lowest correlated with themes of vulnerability
3. Most risk-taking correlated with knowing no stories
Interesting Finding: Content in stories of “resilience” and “vulnerability” were
often identical – what varied was how the family perceived challenges they faced
Tuttle et al, 2004
48. Draw on the family’s inherent
resilience rather than labeling
behavior and communication
patterns as dysfunctional
Labeling leads to continued
vulnerability and risk-taking,
rather than increased self-
esteem, competence and self-
efficacy
Landau, et al., 2000

RESILIENCE
LINC Community Resilience uses a 3-stage
process to empower the community and to
reduce long-term professional involvement:
1. The community comes together to share their
history, traditions, and current situation
(typically traumatic event, increase in problems,
or mass disaster, etc.)
2. The community selects Community Links who
lead them to establish clear goals and turn
these into small workable tasks with committed
work groups
3. The community takes over the process when
the outside professionals withdraw
Landau, 2004, 2007, 2011
63. • Elicit the invitation, authority, permission and
commitment of the community
• Provide the process – let the community
generate content and goals that relate directly
to their future directions and best interests
• Turn goals into realistic tasks and practical
projects, building on existing resources
• The more peripheral the Interventionist(s), the
more successful the program and community
• We tread lightly leaving no footprints while the

79. THE ARISE® MODEL:
BASED ON TRANSITIONAL
FAMILY THERAPY
Transitional Family Therapy is
an integrative approach that
considers:
• Here-and-now and “why now?”
• Intergenerational family and
contextual history, themes,
scripts, stories, strengths
• History of the family and their
context. (Ecosystem)

PHILOSOPHY
We believe that
individuals,
families and
communities are:
• Intrinsically healthy and
competent
• In constant transition
• Typically cope well with
transition unless there are 3 or
more transitions in a short
space of time (or transitions are
traumatic)
• Able to access and utilize their
strength and resilience unless
they are cut off from their
natural support systems
81. ARISE®
PRINCIPLES
Recovery and
healing are
based on:
• Empowering family, community, and natural support system
• Mobilizing and reconnecting the extended natural support system
• Reinforcing connection to family- and culture-of-origin
• Focusing on individual and family healing and recovery
• Removing the “we/they” dichotomy
83. NIDA RESEARCH OUTCOME DATA
Results of original ARISE NIDA study for substance abuse, replicated in the
real world for substance and process addictions:
• Treatment entry:
• 50% entered treatment within 1 week (First Call or First Meeting)
• 76% within 2 weeks
• 83% within 3 weeks
• Informal follow up at 6 months: 96% entered treatment
• Most significant predictor: the more members of the support system involved,
the better the outcome
• Real world replication: 61% sober at 1 year with additional 10% improved

What this shows is that addiction is resilience in action. This pattern holds true across time, countries and cultures.
JLL
In a series of studies, I measured frequency of contact with extended family and knowledge of family
stories across time, and then did qualitative analysis of the stories for themes of resilience versus vulnerability.
We first studied a group of women in an STD clinic compared with a healthy community center group.
We found that both measures of frequency of family contact and knowledge of family stories held up
together and separately. They both correlated with reduced sexual risk-taking. Then we studied a group of troubled
adolescent girls and analyzed their stories for themes of vulnerability versus resilience.
Those who knew positive family stories were less likely to take sexual risks than those with stories of vulnerability.
In addition, knowing any family story,
even if it was negative, was more protective than knowing none.

Connectedness is resilience, if we are losing our extended family networks, we our losing our communities, we are not able to support our neighbors because we are not being supported. We need to reconnect families, or families of choice so that there is a support system in place to build community on.

JLL Outline of model that applied in both Kosova and in New York Kosovar community Our philosophy is to tread lightly and leave no footprints so that credit goes to the people who do the work
Communication across the community is ensured once the Community Links have forged a healing matrix and the entire community (both professional
ancillary support system and natural support system) is engaged in the endeavor. The families and community then take charge of their own future.
