10.01.2022 And....How can I help? Alcohol & Other Drug (AOD) use is never a good or helpful way to deal with a real issue. At very best, it only masks the issue for a short time, and then it comes back twice as hard, because the self-medication process doesnt build your resiliency, it only diminishes it. Thats not a criticism, it is a please step away from that option and more importantly, toward a protective and proactive option. It all starts with a listening ear, and a caring conversation... Its only up from there! B OK today and everyday, talk, share, listen, care! #ruok #betterhealth #preventdontpromote

07.01.2022 Substance Free Brain Training Better Practice to Keep Ya Sane #mindfulness #betterhealth #soberlife Coronavirus: the pandemic is changing our brains here are the remedies We already know that exercise and mindfulness training techniques that help us stay in the present are helpful when it comes to combating brain stress. Indeed, studies have shown beneficial functional and structural changes in the brains prefrontal cortex (involved in planning and decision making), ...hippocampus and amygdala following mindfulness training. One study showed an enhanced density of grey matter the tissue containing most of the brains cell bodies and a key component of the central nervous system in the left hippocampus after eight weeks of training (in comparison to controls). Importantly, these are all regions that are impacted by the COVID-19 virus. Additionally, gamified cognitive training can also help improve attention, memory function and increase motivation. Those who have persistent or severe mental health symptoms may require clinical evaluation by a psychologist or psychiatrist. In such cases, there are pharmacological and psychological treatments available, such as antidepressants or cognitive behavioural therapy. Given that many countries havent completely come out of lockdown yet, and there are long delays in accessing healthcare, modern techniques such as wearable devices (activity trackers) and digital platforms (mobile apps), that can be easily integrated into daily life, are promising. For example, activity trackers can monitor things like heart rate and sleeping patterns, indicating when the wearer may benefit from activities such as meditation, exercise or extra sleep. There are also apps that can help you reduce your stress levels yourself. These techniques are likely be beneficial to everyone, and may help us to better promote cognitive resilience and mental health preparing us for future critical events such as global pandemics. As a society, we need to anticipate future challenges to our brain health, cognition and wellbeing. We should be utilising these techniques in schools to promote lifelong resilience starting at an early age. https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-the-pandemic-is-cha via @ConversationUK

06.01.2022 Psychosis Inducing Weed???? All drug use is unpredictable, not less, manipulated cannabis.

05.01.2022 #QUIT #preventdontpromote Good call! It is way past time to promote drug use exiting recovery, not simply harm reduction mechanisms that only sustain on going drug use. If there is no focus on an exit strategy from the Harm Causer - the drug, then we are are simply putting Band-Aids on gangrenous wounds.

03.01.2022 Ah, the manipulation is continuing... Pro-pot push is pernicious in proactive promotion... We gave a heads up on this 4 years ago. Think critically, not emotively... check out and bookmark https://www.dalgarnoinstitute.org.au//the-conundrum-contin https://youtu.be/MQIlCSjPf6I

02.01.2022 Anti-drug laws were always meant to be a vehicle to protect Community, family and our most important asset, children, from the harms caused by permission models that grown ups believe they have the right to exercise around the use of psychotropic toxins. These protective laws have not been used in any real punitive context for years. Its time we tasked these protective laws again in their most proactive framework As the Judicial Educator. The law used (not in a puni...tive context) but as with Problem Solving Courts, to facilitate not only exit from drug use, but entrance into productive, safe, health and community benefiting narratives, that are drug free. You dont have to change laws, but you can task that legislation to facilitate rehabilitation and recovery, as is being done more and more to great success. The pro-drug lobbies completely fallacious meme of war on drugs has failed only has traction for the uniformed. There has been now war on drugs in this nation since 1985. However, the ever growing war FOR drugs continues to look to remove genuine tools that can bring best-practice drug use exiting outcomes, by mislabelling and propagandizing. The Judicial educator is the perfect bookend for the other bookend of health and education. Together these will see, not further permission for drug use and the ensuing uptake that always precipitates, but rather, as with Tobacco, a community with One Voice, Once Message and One Focus the cessation of humanity, dignity, agency and family devastating drug use. That should be the agenda of all drug use reduction vehicles. The excising of any vehicle that can assist with that proactive and productive end, is not only non-sense, it is only adding to the harms that drug use does to our communities. Once psychotropic toxins are an entrenched part of the behavioural mechanisms of an individual, whether it be short-term intoxication, or long-term dependency, the risk to health, safety and well-being of that individual and more disconcertingly, those around them requires more than a doctor for change. Secure welfare engaged for rehabilitation continues to prove the safest and healthiest vehicle to assist that change. We seem to care more for Tobacco users, than illicit drug users Dont the latter deserve the same passionate enabling to exit drug use, with no voice of permission or approval in the marketplace? Rather there must be a thorough enabling, equipping and empowering of drug users to exit drug use, even more importantly before the inevitable dependency takes hold. Any permission model decriminalisation, legalisation or depenalization does not add to that capacity of drug users to move out of drug use. However, it has and will continue to do so, if the only proactively coercive vehicle is removed further normalizing drug use. Team @ No Brainer See more

01.01.2022 #DemandReduction Its time that ALL of community worked far more urgently and aggressively on Reducing Demand for drug use, not promoting it. Demand Reduction is the First and most important pillar of the National Drug Strategy, and as such needs to be resourced effectively. We have done a remarkable job on Tobacco using this Pillar, but we essentially ignore it when it comes to illicit drug use. Not Even Once, No Brainer, and other community and family drug education and ...resiliency building education groups continue to deploy their programs. And where all of community buy in takes place, cultural shift happens. The QUIT campaign on tobacco has only ONE goal - cessation. ALL of community have now One Voice, One Message and One Focus to that end. Tobacco, as health destroying as it is, NEVER caused the tragedy we see in this recent disaster. Meth and Weed are doing this with now monotonous regularity. Isnt it time we gave this same relentless attention to containing illicit drug use? #recovery #childrenfirst See more
