This document discusses treating emerging adult patients aged 18-30. Emerging adults are developmentally immature, often use drugs and alcohol early, and do not fit well into traditional adult treatment programs. The document recommends an enriched treatment program for emerging adults that develops their prefrontal cortex through activities promoting relationships, affective control, and cognitive abilities. These include group work, spiritual/meditation practices, job/interview skills training, and computer games requiring delayed gratification. Developing the prefrontal cortex through such an enriched environment can help emerging adults gain control over impulses and emotions.

NLP WORKSHOP for the TRAINING OF TRAINERS Neuro-Linguistic Programme 10th June2019-Linguistic Programming is a model about human behavior. It is not a theory because a theory must be proved. On the other hand a model merely has to be tested and if the model yields consistent results; it qualifies as a working model.
Every model is based on pre-suppositions which are assumed to be true. The presuppositions
for any given model are fine tuned till such time that the model yields
consistent results.
1. Everyone lives in and operates from his/her own unique model of the world.
2. People always make the best choices available to them, given their unique model of the world and the situation.
3. There is a desirable solution/possible outcome to every problem.
4. Each person is equipped with everything he/she needs to solve his/her
problems.
5. It is important to separate and distinguish a person from his/her behavior.
When someone is learning something new, it is useful to evaluate the
behaviors while holding constant a positive evaluation of self.
6. All behaviors that people exhibit are motivated by a positive intention or purpose.

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.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

4. EMERGING ADULT PROGRAM
• 18-30 YEARS OLD
• DEVELOPMENTALLY IMMATURE
• NON-ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT
• EARLY ALCOHOL AND DRUG USAGE
• OFTEN FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THEY
CANNOT ACHIEVE AGE APPROPRIATE
GOALS
• DON’T FIT WELL IN ADULT
TREATMENT PROGRAMS
6. EMERGING ADULT PROGRAM
• NOVELTY
• GROUP-ORIENTED
• ACTIVE PARTICIPATION
• DEVELOPMENTALLY INFORMED
• SPIRITUAL CORE AS A SPIRIT QUEST
OR RIGHT OF PASSAGE
7. EMERGING ADULT PROGRAM
• ENRICHED ENVIRONMENT
– STAFF AS HEALTHY FAMILY
• BUDDY SYSTEM
• ART AND ACTIVITY THERAPY
• MEDITATION AND YOGA
• 12 STEP ORIENTED
8. CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
• EMOTION AND MOTIVATION SYSTEM
–This system turns 10 year olds into restless,
exuberant, emotionally intense teenagers
–Recent studies (Casey at Cornell) suggest
adolescents aren’t reckless because they
underestimate risk but because they
overestimate rewards-or, rather find
rewards more rewarding than adults
9. CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
• EMOTION AND MOTIVATION SYSTEM
– Want social rewards-respect from their peers
– Recent study (Steinberg at Temple University
• Teenagers did a high-risk driving task while
lying in a fMRI machine.
• The reward systems lighted up much more
when they thought another teenager was
watching-and they took more risks
10. CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
• CONTROL SYSTEM (PREFRONTAL
CORTEX)
– The prefrontal cortex GUIDES OTHER PARTS
OF THE BRAIN including those that govern
motivation and emotion
– This system inhibits impulses, guides decision-
making, plans for the long-term and delays
gratification
11. CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
• CONTROL SYSTEM (PREFRONTAL
CORTEX)
• This system is experience dependent
• It becomes more effective as we gain more
SUPERVISED experience
• EXPERTISE COMES FROM SUPERVISED
EXPERIENCE
• These two systems were in sync in the past
where farming and hunter-gatherer societies
prevailed
12. CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
• The experience of trying to achieve a real
goal in real time in the real world is
increasingly delayed and the growth of the
control system depends on just those
experiences
• As Ronald Dahl of UC-Berkeley states,
“Today’s adolescents develop an accelerator
a long time before they can steer and brake.”
13. CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
DEVELOPMENT
• It’s that the prefrontal cortex is not properly
instructed and exercised
• Because the brain is “plastic” it can respond
to environmental stimuli
• Given the right stimuli this could help
resolve some of the problems by helping to
influence top-down control

oads/files/en3113_2008.pdf)
27. DEVELOPING THE
PREFRONTAL CORTEX
• ENHANCING RELATIONAL ABILITIES
(continued)
– Music therapy
• Examine their interpretation of their favorite
lyric of their favorite song and discuss in
group
• Have the group make their own instruments
and write their own recovery song to be
performed at community meeting or
graduation
28. DEVELOPING THE
PREFRONTAL CORTEX

spiritual text (AA, NA, Bible, Koran, Bhagavad Gita,
Tao, etc. purchased as library)
29. DEVELOPING THE
PREFRONTAL CORTEX
• AFFECTIVE CONTROL (continued)
– Introduction to meditation
• Opportunity to experience various approaches to
spending time in the right hemisphere
– Develop a personalized SAFETY PLAN
• Developed on a 3x5 index card
– Qualifying-writing and reading your story-
experience ,hope and expectations
30. DEVELOPING THE
PREFRONTAL CORTEX
• EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
– Write a job resume and have the group give
feedback
– Practice interviewing for a job
• The interviewer will use a standard set of questions
which the patient will answer in front of the group
• Group feedback encouraged
– Skills Development
• Experimenting with several opportunities to develop an
interest or hobby
– Photography, cooking, painting, drawing using multiple
mediums
31. DEVELOPING THE
PREFRONTAL CORTEX
• EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
– Jig saw puzzles, cross word puzzles, etc.
– Certain computer games that are nonviolent but
demand attention and delayed gratification such
as SimCity
– The puzzles and computer games can be
competitive in nature leading to a discussion on
winning and losing or maybe the losing team
waits on the winning team at dinner, etc.
35. THE SPIRITUAL BRAIN
• In the right hemisphere of the brain the following
areas are involved in positive emotions,
mammalian love and spirituality:
– Amygdala
– Hippocampus
– Insula
– Anterior Cingulate Gyrus
– Ventromedial Prefrontal Cortex
– Septal Area
36. THE SPIRITUAL BRAIN
• ANTERIOR CINGULATE GYRUS:
– Links valence and memory to create attachment
– Along with the hippocampus makes the past
meaningful
– Directs approach and avoidance
– Regulates the blending of thoughts and
emotions
– Rich in dopamine innervation (reward and
motivation)
37. THE SPIRITUAL BRAIN
• INSULA
– Brings visceral feelings into consciousness
(heart ache)
– Insula and anterior cingulate gyrus active in
positive emotions of humor, trust and empathy
– Spindle (von Economo) cells may help integrate
mammalian limbic system with the neocortex
– Special set of “mirror” neurons involved in
“feeling” what another is feeling (empathy)
38. THE SPIRITUAL CORE
• Positive emotions may well be the neurobiological
basis of spirituality, as well as, good mental health
• Positive emotions like compassion, forgiveness,
love, hope, joy, faith/trust, awe and gratitude arise
from our capacity for unselfish parental love and
are hard wired
• Spirituality as an amalgam of its positive emotions
that bind us to others and the experience of God
as we understand Him
39. THE SPIRITUAL CORE
• Positive emotions have the potential to free the
true self from the false self
• Negative emotions (fear, anger, etc.) are often
crucial for survival but only in time present
• Ideas are neutral, valueless and colorless and elicit
no sensation
• Emotions are felt physically
– Either “good” or “bad”
– Almost always elicit approach or avoidance
40. THE SPIRITUAL CORE
• Emotions are associated with activity in the
Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
– Negative Emotions=Sympathetic Nervous
System (SNS)
– Positive emotions=Parasympathetic Nervous
System (PNS)
• None of the 8 positive emotions are “all about me”
and they all invoke connection
– They are often expressed with gratitude
• The negative emotions such as anger, lust, envy,
jealousy, resentment, etc. are “all about me”
– They are often expressed with grandiosity
42. THE PROMISES
• Freedom (__)
• Happiness (__)
• Absence of regrets (__)
• Serenity or peacefulness (__)
• How much your experience benefits other
people (__)
• Absence of self‐pity (__)
• Interest in other people (__)
• Absence of selfishness (__)
45. THE SPIRITUAL CORE
• OPPOSITE OF GRATITUDE IS GREED
– GREED says, “Everything is to be gotten.”
• Implies control
• Brings in the concept of time
• Leads to misery
• GREED is a yearning for more
– Related to DESIRE
• AS ERIC HOFFER SAID, “YOU CAN
NEVER GET ENOUGH OF WHAT YOU
DON’T REALLY WANT.”
• IT’S HARD TO GET ENOUGH OF
SOMETHING THAT ALMOST WORKS
46. THE SPIRITUAL CORE
• WHAT DO YOU HAVE THAT YOU
HAVE NOT RECEIVED?
– Gratitude says THANKS
– Grandiosity (greed) DEMANDS MORE
• “TO THOSE THAT HAVE MORE WILL
BE GIVEN.”
– Self-fulfilling prophesy
– Only the grateful are in a position to receive
47. THE SPIRITUAL CORE
• What emanates from God in the
consciousness of man is power‐love,
compassion, completeness, perfection and
wholeness
• In contrast the evil thoughts of resentment,
fear, doubt, hate, jealousy, etc. come from
the ego of man and have no power
• LOVE IS THE ONLY TRUE POWER AND LEADS
ONE TO “BECOME LIKE A CHILD”
