The skills associated with being a professional counselor include group and individual process, screening and assessment
1. Generally, the skills associated with being a professional counselor include group and individual process, screening and assessment, case management, and other clinical or therapeutically oriented activities. The content of FPM-40054 is quite different. As your career takes shape will prevention, public health and public policy be part of your work? How?
2. Describe what you understand to be the interplay between environmental factors and biological/psychological/hereditary determinants of risk for a substance use disorder.
3. Your state is involved in a citizen’s voter initiative, the Nonviolent Offender Rehabilitation Act (NORA) that will generate millions of new dollars for expansion of the treatment system. The signatures to put the issue on the ballot were collected by a coalition of groups that seek progressive policy reform and an end to the drug war. The ballot initiative would require the decriminalization of the possession of the so-called hard drugs (heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, etc.) The measure is opposed by the CA District Attorneys Association, most police agencies and the powerful correctional officers’ unions.
Would you vote for or against NORA? Why?
4. There have been reports that some opioid users will keep naloxone close by so that they can push their high to extreme limits knowing that if they miscalculate the availability of the opioid antagonist will revive them from an overdose. Is this a valid argument against the current widespread distribution of naloxone?
5. There is a variety of pressures and inducements for employers to maintain a diverse workforce. This equal opportunity social policy embraces gender, race and disability (generally mobility, sight, and hearing impairment). A hypothetical Americans in Recovery Act could include provisions to track substance use disorder recovery statistics in workplaces. In your opinion would this be wise public policy? Why or Why not?
