Engaging kids in the therapy process can prove challenging. Often times, children are not seeking treatment on their own and are usually "made" to see a counselor due to emotional or behavioral concerns. Due to this, many counselors employ a number of techniques to build rapport and encourage clients to open up and share their feelings. A few interventions involve interactive games or activities that introduce a certain level of fun and excitement into the sessions. Some of these are specifically designed to target social-emotional issues while others help in relationship building with the kid or teen.
This website provides access to resources designed to help teach kids and teenagers social-emotional skills. This site provides access to a variety of telehealth resources, fillable worksheets, digital workbooks, etc. and addresses anxiety and stress, bullying, diversity and inclusion, etc.

The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine defines stigma as a range of negative attitudes, beliefs and behaviors that are associated with certain conditions such as addiction. Dr. Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), has been a leading voice in talking about the “chilling effect” stigma has on our ability to address substance use and addiction in our country. In an April 2020 perspective piece published in the New England Journal of Medicine and in her NIDA blog piece, Dr. Volkow explains how stigma can prevent people from seeking care and can even contribute to their continuing addiction. We encourage our visitors to read Dr. Volkow’s writings as well as to familiarize themselves with the efforts to reduce stigma led by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) including the NIH HEAL InitiativeSM, which has made addressing stigma a key element in their efforts to address opioid addiction.

Background As the opioid overdose crisis persists and take-home naloxone (THN) programmes expand, it is important that the intervention is targeted towards those most likely to use it. We examined THN program participants to 1) describe those that return for refills, specifically those that reported multiple use (supersavers) and 2) to determine what rescuer characteristics were associated with higher rates of THN use.
Methods This study included a cohort of consenting THN recipients from June 2014- June 2021 who completed initial and refill questionnaires from a widespread program in Norway. Adjusted logistic regression was used to explore associations with higher rates of THN use. ‘Super-savers’ reported three or more THN uses.
