This course provides training and CEUs for addicitons counselors and LPCs working in Addictions, Mental Health and Co-Occurring Disorders will help counselors, social workers, marriage and family therapists, alcohol and drug counselors and addictions professionals get continuing education and certification training to aid them in providing services guided by best practices. AllCEUs is approved by the california Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors (CAADAC), NAADAC, the Association for Addictions Professionals, the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counseling Board of Georgia (ADACB-GA), the National Board for Certified Counselors (NBCC) and most states.
In fact, some research studies (later found to be sponsored by the very same pharmaceutical companies they claimed to be investigating), suggested that methadone, morphine, hydrocodone and all other opioids had virtually no maximum dosages and a minimal risk for dependence under doctor supervision. According to the research conclusion, patients could simply use these opioids forever and never reach a point where they became satiated.
Heroine also referred to as Diacetylmorphine is a high addictive narcotic drug whose addiction recovery is achieved through methadone rehab therapy. When this therapeutic drug is used effectively, it helps to alleviate the craving for heroine.

A warm welcome to CRESTBD's webinar slides for "Stigma123 & Bipolar Disorder"! An idea readily accepted in academic literature, the three levels of stigma is not yet a robust part of the mainstream discussion about stigma. We'll share both the lived experience and research perspectives of our team.
The future belongs to young people ...
and it is us who will be affected most by the decisions we take today on Aids/HIV epidemic, climate change, food, energy, environmental degradation, economic stability and the continuing challenge of world poverty.
Such decisions will influence the shape and quality of our future lives and could even dictate how long we will live. So it is very important that us, as individuals and as a group, take a keen interest in these issues now – and make absolutely sure our views are heard.
This presentation "Stamp Out Stigma" raises issues about challenging HIV/AIDS stigma & discrimination in the Health sector.
The Social Construction of Stigma & Problem Drug UseJulian Buchanan
This paper was a Keynote presentation at the Scottish Drug Forum Conference on Stigma.
The paper examines the social construction of stigma looking at the way in which drug use and notions of abuse are culturally bound and determined. The role of the media shapes and firms up these boundaries.

Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) has seemed at the forefront of many news items recently and increasingly out there in the public domain. The statistics quoted in the UK are 1 in 4 women and 1 in 6 men are survivors, higher in other countries such as the USA. Indeed, most of our addiction clients tend to present with underlying trauma, many as a result of CSA. So as clinicians and treatment providers how do we deal with this epidemic in terms of numbers and the resultant increased disclosures and presentations?

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 ...

Why do some individuals develop addictive disorders while others don’t? The relationship between trauma and addiction can provide valuable insight. The adverse childhood experiences (ACES) study helped define and shape our understanding of this complex issue and research demonstrates that higher ACE scores are linked with higher rates of future substance use. It is critical that the health care workforce understand the impact of trauma on addiction and how this relationship impacts treatment and recovery. Explore what it means to be trauma-informed and how providers can integrate trauma-informed care into recovery services and other work with individuals who experience addictive disorders.
Women's right to mental health scwsd 14 9-06VIBHUTI PATEL
Mental health issues of women are gaining ground in the social work discourse. Universalist ETIC approach is found limiting in dealing with mental health problems. EMIC approach that emphasises cross-cultural psychiatry and evaluates mental health condition of women from within a culture is found more useful. Worsening socio-economic and political situation has enhanced the rates of common mental disorders and minor psychiatric morbidity. Trauma caused by violence against women should be tackled with the help of psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. The paper also discusses mental issues of adolescent girls, substance abusers, HIV-AIDS patients and women in reproductive age group. Media can play progressive role by providing empowering role models for women. Mental health of women in shelter homes, mental hospitals and police custody\ prison needs enlightened intervention by the state, non-government organisations and civil society. Self help groups provide democratic space for rebuilding broken lives. To make women’s material reality more secure, liberating and healthy, breakthrough counselling is need of an hour. Sensitization and training of general practitioners and other health personnel with this objective is a must. Ethics of valuing and respecting others must be observed by the counsellor. The counsellor should know that healing is a part of empowerment.
With the ongoing opioid epidemic, availability or marijuana and other drugs addiction has become a problem with no class lines. The story of pain medication following surgery leading to opioid addiction and heroin is everywhere.

Psychiatric history
Basic structure
Standard history – presenting complaint, drug history, past medical history etc. – plus PSYCH extras:
Pre-morbid personality: "how would friends and family describe you before you were unwell?". Ask about previous hobbies and habits.
Substance use, including alcohol. Ask about frequency, volume, location and situation, and if relevant, administration route and needle sharing.
Youth: personal history.
Crime: forensic history.
Harm risk i.e. risk assessment. SO CRAP: Risk to Self, Risk to Others, Chronic physical health problems, Relapse risk, Medication Adherence, Protective factors.
Standard history components
Presenting complaint:
"What's been happening with you lately?". Put their own words in quotations as the presenting complaint.
If anxious, reassure: "we don't have to talk about anything you don't want to discuss".
Think about 4 key components of the episode, in a causal sequence: (1) triggers and life circumstances → (2) thoughts and emotions → (3) behavioural and physical symptoms, including functional impairments → (4) impacts on family, work, and physical health.
Make sure to cover the onset, duration, and pattern of symptoms, and factors that perpetuate, exacerbate, or relieve them.
Get their ideas, concerns, and expectations: what do they think is going on?
Ask about specific psych symptoms – e.g. delusions – as part of the mental state exam.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

I'VE MISSED MORE THAN 9000 SHOTS IN MY
CAREER. I'VE LOST ALMOST 300 GAMES. 26 TIMES,
I'VE BEEN TRUSTED TO TAKE THE GAME WINNING
SHOT AND MISSED. I'VE FAILED OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE. AND THAT IS WHY I
SUCCEED.
