Presentation by Daniel Flannery, Ph.D. given at the 2010 RWJF LFP Annual Meeting in St. Paul, MN
This presentation will present recent research on the links between brain development and neurochemistry, mental health and violence. We will compare traditional treatment programs that focus separately on perpetrators, victims and witnesses with examples of specific, innovative, multi-systemic treatment models that providers have employed in an attempt to break the cycle of violence. Our discussion will revolve around several video vignettes and principles of Trauma-Informed care.
Participants will address the challenges of pilot-tested, “evidence-based practice” versus the “practice-based evidence” of community programs. Treatment challenges related to co-morbid functioning of high-risk individuals will be discussed including substance use, offending, mental health, family functioning and academic achievement. Examples of specific innovative treatment models and local and national data on multi-system involved youth and intervention outcomes will be provided. We will also consider the difficulties and benefits of working in collaborative, community-based coalitions to effect change and how this movement has been affected by policy, resources, and increased demands for accountability.

An individual’s perception of their discriminatory experiences has an important impact on their depressive symptoms. Some studies have shown that higher levels of perceived discrimination led to worse mental health conditions, including depressive symptoms and anxiety. Discrimination is the unfair treatment of an individual by others based on their gender, race, sexual orientation, age, and other factors. Our empirical study investigated the relationship between everyday discrimination, major lifetime discrimination, and depressive symptoms using data from 211 older African American adults in the Health among Older adults Living in Detroit (HOLD) study.
The double disadvantage hypothesis explains that individuals who are disadvantaged in one stratification are disadvantaged in other stratifications including race, gender, and other factors. We implemented this hypothesis in our investigation and found that men reported experiencing more major lifetime discriminatory experiences than women. Study results also revealed that there was a significant positive correlation between everyday discrimination and major discrimination experiences and depressive symptoms. However, gender did not moderate this relationship.
Our findings add to the existing literature by having investigated this relationship in older African American adults. Future studies should explore how various coping styles in men affect how they handle stressors, including discriminatory events. Studies should also investigate sex differences regarding how men and women process their thoughts and emotions through coping methods and seeking out social support.

Improving Health and Behavioral Outcomes among Sexually Victimized Male Youth: A Qualitative Investigation Among Trauma Treatment Providers
Ashwini Tiwari, Christine Wekerle, Andrea Gonzalez (CIHRTeamSV)
Bullying is a unhealthy behavior with multiple manifestations. It does not discriminate against the age, ethnicity, belief system, lifestyle, and level of well-being of an individual. This unhealthy behavior usually starts early in life. Individuals can potentially exhibit and or be victimized by bullying. Most cases are underreported and not detected while the solutions exist to reduce the incidence and the prevalence of this common phenomenon. Targeting bullying in childhood and adolescence is a great determinant of healthier learners, but also of healthier and productive adult citizens.

INDIGENOUS YOUTHS’ RELATIONSHIPS WITH WATER: TRAUMA, ADVOCACY & RESILIENCEChristine Wekerle
Indigenous communities often experience disproportionate access to clean, safe drinking water. For youth water insecurity may lead to adverse mental health effects, referred to as 'water anxiety'. However, water resilience actions such as advocacy and youths' responsibilities to water, may have the potential to mitigate potential mental health effects associated with 'water anxiety'.
Positive psychology evolved from a recognition that the clinical encounter is often over-focused on concerns and problems, and that positive actions may not have a central role in the treatment plan. With youth, many issues - treatment compliance, help-seeking, impulsive self-harm, high risk-taking - may be ameliorated with a plan of positive actions. The technology that are youths' worlds may deliver some of these therapeutics. Resilience may be galvanized when inner resources interacts with external resources. This talk will introduce the evidence-based components of a resilience in youth App, JoyPop, and open discuss for research use in clinical populations.

Personality-targeted Interventions for Building Resilience against Substance Use and Mental Health Problems among Adolescents Involved in Child Welfare System
Hanie Edalati, Patricia Conrod
Adolescence is a key period for intervention among at-risk populations of youth, as this is when risk-taking behaviors tend to emerge. The Sustainable Development Goals for achieving 2030 youth health targets outline two issues central to reduce risks of gendered violence, sexual violence (SV) and adolescent sexual risk taking: (1) gender equity and (2) mental health promotion education. Only half of women reported having the autonomy to make their own decisions regarding sexual relations, usage of contraception and access to health care services. In developing countries women and children are extremely vulnerable to sexual violence which thereby places them at increased risk for contracting STIs from the perpetrator, as well as pregnancy as a result of SV. Undocumented minors; unaccompanied minors; refugees; child soldiers; youth post natural disasters; orphans; street-involved youth; and youth without parental care or financial means who are exposed to dangerous people or places are most vulnerable to sexual violence. UNICEF states that ending cases of new HIV infections by 2030 is unlikely, due to large concentrations of new infections occurring in areas where transactional sex, child sexual exploitation, drug use, street involved youth and SV are prevalent. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), which include forms of childhood maltreatment, increase the risk of contracting STIs. In particular, sexual abuse is linked with increased likelihood for risky sexual behavior, making victims vulnerable to poor sexual health outcomes.7 Protecting youth from exposure to SV and providing adolescents with sexual and mental health education are central to promoting resilience in youth.

Tom Selleck Health: A Comprehensive Look at the Iconic Actor’s Wellness Journeygreendigital
Tom Selleck, an enduring figure in Hollywood. has captivated audiences for decades with his rugged charm, iconic moustache. and memorable roles in television and film. From his breakout role as Thomas Magnum in Magnum P.I. to his current portrayal of Frank Reagan in Blue Bloods. Selleck's career has spanned over 50 years. But beyond his professional achievements. fans have often been curious about Tom Selleck Health. especially as he has aged in the public eye.
Follow us on: Pinterest
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
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Background
• Significant number of youth in child welfare report
past and/or current maltreatment (Trocmé et al., 2010)
• Maltreatment, combined with removal from the
family home, can have significant negative
consequences on psychological functioning (Scott et
al., 2010)
3. Background
• Studies on the effects of maltreatment
have typically relied on variable-centered
analyses
• Person-centered analyses have the
potential to capture the heterogeneity of
outcomes for youth in care
4. Background
• Emerging research has identified meaningful profiles
within the larger population of youth in care (Hagaman et al.,
2009; Keller et al., 2007; Yates & Grey, 2012)
• These studies have identified correlates, including:
– Gender
– Ethnicity
– Physical abuse
– Multiple victimization
– Current placement
– Number of placements
5. Study Objectives
• To identify trauma-related profiles in
maltreated adolescents involved with the
Canadian child welfare system
• To identify socio-demographic-,
maltreatment-, and welfare-level correlates
of profile membership
6. Maltreatment and Adolescent Pathways
Project (Wekerle et al., 2009)
• Longitudinal study of randomly selected adolescents
involved with child welfare in Ontario, Canada
– Data were collected at 8 time points over 3 years
• Questionnaires ask about: socioeconomic status, drug
and alcohol use, dating/sexual practices, friendships,
psychological well-being, and maltreatment history
• Data for the current study were drawn from the initial time
point
– 479 adolescents aged 13-17 years for whom complete data
was available on the variables of interest (54.1% female,
mean age = 15.8 years)

8. Child Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form
(CTQ; Bernstein et al., 2003)
• 28-item self-report instrument
• Participants indicate the frequency of early childhood experiences on a 5-point
Likert scale
• Measures the frequency of five types of maltreatment:
– Physical abuse (e.g., People in my family hit me so hard that it left me with bruises or marks)
– Sexual abuse (e.g., Someone tried to touch me in a sexual way, or tried to make me touch
them)
– Emotional abuse (e.g., I felt that someone in my family hated me)
– Physical Neglect (e.g., I had to wear dirty clothes)
– Emotional neglect (e.g., My family was a source of strength and support*)
*Reverse coded
• We also calculated the number of maltreatment types that were endorsed to
create a multiple victimization variable, ranging from 0 to 5

• 54-item self-report instrument
• Participants are asked to rate how frequently they
experience symptoms on a 4-point Likert scale
• Assesses six areas of functioning:
- Anxiety (e.g., Feeling nervous or jumpy inside)
- Depression (e.g., Feeling lonely)
- Posttraumatic Stress (e.g., Scary ideas or pictures just pop into my
head)
- Dissociation (e.g., Pretending I am someone else)
- Anger (e.g., Wanting to yell and break things)
- Sexual Concerns (e.g., Can’t stop thinking about sex)
11. Data Analysis
• Profiles were generated using Latent Profile Analysis (Mplus 7.3)
• A multinomial logistic regression (SPSS 22.0) was conducted in
order to examine the relationship between the profiles and a
number of correlates:
Socio-demographic:
– Age
– Sex
– Ethnicity
Maltreatment:
– Type of maltreatment
– Multiple victimization
Welfare:
– Number of placements in past 5 years
– Current placement type

17. Discussion
• The majority of adolescents are functioning within the
average range
• Younger adolescents were more likely to be in the high
distress profile
– It is possible that they possess less developed capacities for
self-regulation, decision-making, executive functioning
– Maltreatment may have occurred earlier
• Profile characterized by high distress was associated
with greater sexual maltreatment
• Profiles characterized by moderate to high distress were
associated with greater emotional maltreatment
18. • Profile characterized by moderate distress
was associated with more multiple
victimization
• There were no significant differences in
child welfare variables across profiles
– Quality of placement and/or other supports
may be more important
Discussion
19. Clinical Implications
• The current study identifies three clearly
distinct service populations for maltreated
adolescents in care
– Majority seem to show resilience
• Profile membership could be matched to
interventions or treatment
