Failure to Launch is a subject I recently addressed at the Innovations in Recovery Conference in April 2016.
According to Psychology Today, the term “failure to launch,” is an increasingly popular way to describe the difficulties some young adults face when transitioning into the next phase of development—a stage which involves greater independence and responsibility. Although this is how it is commonly thought of in industry, from my experience the seedling for this phenomena may have been planted in the early teen and young adult years by over-anxious and well-meaning parents (often called helicopter parents) who wanted a life much easier than they experienced for their offspring.
The effects of FTL can be clearly observed in 49-50-60 and, yes, even 70 years-old individuals who are in need of behavioral health care interventions. These individuals often still live at home or are supported by their parents and do not work. Even if they have been married and have children, they still act as if they were a child and take little responsibility for their financial well-being. My hope is that you find this presentation helpful as we work to reach this fascinating population!
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.
As Executive Protection you may not of thought of this as part of your job description , and you are in a unique position of Influence and Trust to identify and help intervene when the persons with problems are clients and their loved ones.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
Identify and define their philosophical orientation
Become Acquainted with Appreciative Inquiry
Identify Intergenerational patterns in their clients
Assess the value of Portraiture as a qualitative mode of inquiry to gain valuable data about an individual and family themes as a nonjudgemental way into story

As a seasoned interventionist, I’ve seen clients from both sides of the mental illness/substance abuse spectrum as well as clients with an avalanche of additional problems that I describe as the TRIPLE THREAT, those who suffer from a tertiary issue either as a result of a prior condition (i.e. disorder or illness) or that one that is exacerbated by additional factors (i.e. physical, legal, traumatic, etc.). These folks and their families present a diagnostic quandary with their kaleidoscope of competing and equally important issues.

In your opinion, what are some of the most urgent issues related to .pdfaesalem06
In your opinion, what are some of the most urgent issues related to adolescent and young adult
health?
Young people have to work through a broad range of issues as they move from childhood to
adulthood. They may have to deal with changes to their bodies and their feelings and they may
be thinking about having their first relationship or having sex.
Young people may also be exploring their identities in terms of their sexuality or gender identity.
They may want more independence from their families, and their friends may play a more
important part in their lives. Some may also want to experiment with alcohol and other drugs.
Although growing up can be an exciting time, it can also be confusing and challenging. Research
shows confident young people who feel supported by their families and friends are more likely to
safely negotiate issues like these. However, it is important to remember adolescence is generally
a time for experimenting with risky behaviours, even with good parenting and role modelling.
Teenagers and alcohol
Alcohol is one of the most widely used drugs in Australia. According to recent surveys, around
40 per cent of young people aged 12-17 have had a full serve of alcohol and around 60 per cent
of year 10-12 students have drunk alcohol at least once.
For young people, alcohol use is associated with a range of health risks, including:
· unsafe sex
· unwanted sex
· unintended pregnancy
· drink-driving and road accidents
· violence and aggressive behaviour
· criminal activity.
Teenagers and body image
Young people are at risk of developing a negative body image, where they dislike the way they
look.
The related health problems for young people can include:
· crash dieting and malnourishment
· eating disorders, including anorexia and bulimia nervosa
· obesity
· steroid use (to build muscle mass).
Teenagers and bullying
Estimates suggest around one in six children are bullied every few weeks or more in Australia.
Young people are bullied by their peers for many reasons, including:
· the way they look (for example, if they are overweight)
· resisting pressure to conform
· their cultural or socioeconomic background or religion
· their academic achievements
· their sexual orientation or behaviour
· being ‘the new kid’ at school.
Teenagers and smoking
Despite widespread media campaigns, tobacco smoking is still popular among young people in
Australia, especially young women, though the number of young people who smoke cigarettes is
decreasing.
· Smoking tobacco increases people’s risk of:
· cancers of the lung, throat and mouth
· reduced lung function
· asthma and other respiratory problems
· damaged senses of smell and taste
· heart disease, major heart attack and stroke.
Teenagers and family life
Young people can face issues relating to family life, including:
· relationship problems between family members
· family violence
· abuse, including neglect and physical, sexual or emotional abuse
· separation and divorce.
For some young peopl.
Are mental health problems increasing? The answer does seem to be yes, especially among adolescents and young adults. According to a study from the American Psychological Association, rates of mood disorders and events that relate to suicide have gone up significantly in the past decade within these younger age groups.
Having a mental condition does seem to be on the rise.
Even before the COVID-19 outbreak, mental disorders were becoming increasingly prevalent. That’s likely even more true now, as the pandemic has had a negative impact, leading to increases in depression, anxiety and PTSD, and feelings of isolation and loneliness.
When you’re a parent, you may not give much thought to teen mental health conditions or mental distress. You might attribute potential red flags in behavior to typical teen growing pains. As parents, it is essential to realize that some things might be real warning signs of mental health issues in teens.
By understanding more about the risks for teens regarding their mental health and the impact of social media, you’re better positioned to know what to watch for; you’re also more likely to be able to help your teen who is struggling.
Depression in Teenagers: A Public Mental Health Concern?Drogo_Myers
There is a popular belief surrounding teenagers that cuts across cultural boundaries: the idea that teenagers are “angsty.” While this stereotype has credence because of the hormonal turmoil that adolescents experience, an unspoken truth makes the issue much more pressing.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

India Clinical Trials Market: Industry Size and Growth Trends [2030] Analyzed...Kumar Satyam
According to TechSci Research report, "India Clinical Trials Market- By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F," the India Clinical Trials Market was valued at USD 2.05 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.64% through 2030. The market is driven by a variety of factors, making India an attractive destination for pharmaceutical companies and researchers. India's vast and diverse patient population, cost-effective operational environment, and a large pool of skilled medical professionals contribute significantly to the market's growth. Additionally, increasing government support in streamlining regulations and the growing prevalence of lifestyle diseases further propel the clinical trials market.
Growing Prevalence of Lifestyle Diseases
The rising incidence of lifestyle diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer is a major trend driving the clinical trials market in India. These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
