This document discusses drug use and abuse among youth in Borno State, Nigeria. It begins by explaining that drug addiction is a complex brain disease that is difficult to quit, even for those who want to, due to changes in brain function from prolonged drug use. The paper then explores the negative impacts of drug use among Nigerian youth, such as health issues, lost productivity, and crime. It discusses how factors like peer pressure, lack of parental guidance, and unemployment can contribute to youth drug abuse. The document also provides background on how drugs affect the brain's reward system and notes that addiction is a relapsing condition where treatment may need to be adjusted over time. In summary, the paper examines the problem of rising drug abuse among

This document provides an overview of a presentation given on the trauma caused by immigration fear and enforcement in Latino communities. The presentation discusses how immigration policy changes have increased fear and stress in Latino communities, negatively impacting mental and physical health. It also outlines a clinical approach used at school-based health centers that aims to address the needs of immigrant youth through comprehensive primary care, mental health services, and legal support. The approach emphasizes trauma-informed care, cultural humility, and resilience.
In our global community, the concept of poverty has varied dependent upon our ideological perspectives. Our perspectives about the causation of poverty is frequently skewed by our relationship to poverty itself. There are many variables that might be the causation of poverty: if we have never fallen unto hard times, if we have never had to live paycheck-to-paycheck, then the likelihood that we might worry over financial matters may be slim-to-none.
This document discusses social and educational problems in India. It begins by defining social problems as situations where community goals are not achieved due to difficulties in the system. People face issues like harassment, lack of good education, discrimination, and poverty. Educational problems refer to school dropout, stagnation, and wastage.
The document then focuses on analyzing the psychological aspects of some key social problems - poverty, drug addiction, and dowry. It explains the causes and consequences of poverty, like malnutrition, poor socialization patterns, effects on personality development and mental health. For drug addiction, it discusses risk factors like peer pressure, genetics, and maturity. It notes dowry was originally to help with marriage expenses but now burdens families.
This document provides an overview of youth violence prevention and intervention. It discusses terminology, characteristics of violent youth, risk factors in their development, family and community environments, and key loci for intervention. While research on violent youth has been ongoing since the 1940s, prevention of youth violence remains a challenge as the statistics on youth arrests for violence have increased over the past few decades. The document emphasizes that prevention is more effective than intervention for long-term positive impact, though prevention programs can take years to show effects while intervention programs address immediate problems.

Child Sexual Exploitation of Children, CSEC Advocacy ProjectAlexandra Rupp
We define sexual exploitation as rape, abuse, and violence against children, in which 1.6 million youth did NOT “choose “ to be a victim. Alameda County has the 2nd largest population of Commercially Sexually Exploited Children and youth where every two minutes a child is being groomed for sexual exploitation (PCWTA). These numbers represent the amount of CSEC victims we serve, typically without knowing. The traumatic and adverse experiences commonly occurring in our communities, put our children at higher risk for being coerced, manipulated, and forced into sexual exploitation and human trafficking. A trafficker knows what to look for—and so should we. To protect our children, we must increase our awareness and understanding of CSEC in order to effectively prevent, respond, and restore. CSEC is on the rise and while it’s happening all around us, most of us don’t see it. Help us make child sex trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation visible, so we can end it. Because every child is too valuable to be bought and sold!

The Ethics of Coronavirus
Heather Anderson Mar 06, 2020

Hundreds of new cases of COVID-19, or coronavirus, are being reported daily as the virus continues to spread to new countries. The virus is currently spreading through the US and the first deaths have been reported in Washington State. COVID-19 has now truly reached global proportions and the World Health Organization (WHO) is encouraging governments and the public to be prepared.
How the world is reacting to this global emergency is raising some serious ethical questions about the responsibilities of the public as well as governments. Fortunately we are living during a time where we have tested and created effective medical and ethical frameworks to guide response to this epidemic.
Some public obligations regarding virus containment are:
· Wash your hands and get a flu shot — Read this quick New York Times blog, by IU Center for Bioethics faculty Aaron Carroll, laying out the easiest ways that the public can and should act in order to prevent the spread of this and other virus.
· Be informed, but do not overreact — The WHO posts daily situation reports, compare the numbers for yourself and keep things in perspective. Get answers to your questions from reliable sources. WHO Q&A on COVID-19 is a good place to start and for state information visit your local state health department’s website. Here in Indiana the Indiana State Department of Health has created a COVID-19 page that is updated daily with relevant information. If you listen to podcasts, IU Center for Bioethics faculty Ross Silverman was on The Week in Health Law talking about the legal and public health perspective of this outbreak.
· Rational use of resources — Should you wear a mask? The ethical answer is, only when necessary and educate yourself on the proper use of masks. People with no respiratory symptoms should not be wearing medical masks. This overuse of medical equipment leads to shortages for those who really need them, medical professionals and those caring for the sick. The best way to prevent the spread of this virus is to wash your hands frequently and properly.
· If you are sick, stay home — social isolation is the best way to stop the spread of this and any virus.
Ethical issues that arise from this type of medical state of emergency are many and governments have an obligation to respond morally. Having an ethical framework ready for such a situation is crucial in order to promote, protect, and provide for the health of all residents in the community.
Some government obligations regarding virus containment and treatment are:
· Allocation of medical equipment — during times of emergency, governments have to make difficult decisions about scarce resource allocation. Having an ethical framework in place helps to ensure that it is done responsibly. This technical advisory document, created by the IU Center for Bioethics and the Fairbanks Center for Medical Ethics, provided an ethical framework for Indiana S.

Law enforcement leaders in Arizona warn that cutting children's health insurance will negatively impact public safety. They note that many youth deaths are due to preventable causes like accidents and violence. The leaders argue that proven therapies could help troubled youth but may not be accessible without insurance. Cutting coverage risks leaving thousands of children uninsured and increases the long-term costs of untreated behavioral and substance abuse issues.
This document outlines a presentation on toxic masculinity and its consequences. It is divided into two parts.
Part One discusses the problem of toxic masculinity, including defining it and explaining its risks for both males and females. Toxic masculinity is rooted in insecurity and fear and can manifest in behaviors like bullying, racism, and violence. It is appealing to insecure males as it provides a sense of power and bonding.
Part Two discusses the antidote of total inclusivity and self-love. Total inclusivity means valuing all identities while self-love involves recognizing and nurturing oneself. Totally inclusive self-love is positioned as the most powerful way to overcome toxic masculinity and femininity by

Increasingly, African Americans in general are recognizing that HIV is wreaking devastation across our communities. Those who have joined the fight against HIV and AIDS in Black communities are coming to understand that it is a difficult and multifaceted problem—but that it is also a winnable war. With this report, we aim to arm those people with the information they need to get there.
The document discusses substance abuse issues among North American Aboriginal communities and culturally sensitive treatment approaches. It explores issues such as generational trauma from colonization, residential schools, and the Indian Act, which have contributed to substance abuse, family disruption, and related problems. Community-based and holistic treatment methods are recommended, incorporating traditional healing practices like the medicine wheel, sweat lodges, and storytelling to address mind, body, spirit, and emotions in a culturally-grounded way.
The document discusses harm reduction from an Indigenous perspective. It describes how colonialism disrupted traditional ways of living for First Nations communities and caused imbalance. Harm reduction aims to help people reduce risks like HIV/AIDS in a value-neutral way by empowering informed decisions. Effective harm reduction programs are culturally appropriate and community-led, employing strategies like needle exchange and addressing gender inequalities. Challenges include gaining acceptance for new concepts and ensuring programs incorporate Indigenous beliefs.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

The Chicago Child Trauma Center
(CCTC) serves Chicago-area children
ages one to 18 exposed to traumatic
events including physical and sexual
abuse, witnessing violence and
complex trauma. The center's mission
is to provide expert-level trauma care
to children and their families and
address social justice issues.
The Society for Child and Family Policy and Practice of the American Psychological
Association is committed to the application of psychological knowledge to advocacy,
social justice, service delivery and public policies affecting children, youth and families
in a diverse and inclusive society.
ASCA is an innovative and effective
support program designed specifically
for adult survivors of physical, sexual, or
emotional child abuse or neglect. The
program was designed to support and
assist survivors of child abuse,
irrespective of their financial situation, in
moving on with their lives.

INJUSTICE
Today, it is imperative to accept that social justice has
to become a public health issue because extreme social
contexts and living conditions affect people’s mental
state and behavior, and these behaviors and mental
resources affect the community. If the ills of our
societies, including trauma, are to be tackled seriously,
then injustice must be held accountable.
