Harmful power dynamics can occur when there are different positions of privilege and marginalization in counselor-client relationships, putting counselors at risk of being complicit in systems of oppression related to intersectional privilege (e.g., race, class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, nationality, ability and age). Because privilege is often an invisible construct for those who hold privileged positions, it is prudent that counselor educators effectively prepare and hold counselors-in-training (CITs) accountable for addressing issues of privilege and oppression within themselves. In the June issue of Counselor Education and Supervision (CEAS), Danielle A. Pester, A. Stephen Lenz and Joshua C. Watson present the Intersectional Privilege Screening Inventory (IPSI), which is designed to measure CIT insight and development regarding privilege. Results support the IPSIs use in measuring, documenting and monitoring student development and growth throughout the training process.

July is Minority Mental Health Month, more recently known as #BIPOCMentalHealthMonth. BIPOC are often faced with years — even generations — of trauma, which translates to socioeconomic disparities and, in turn, is linked to mental health concerns today. Throughout the month, ACA is dedicated to bringing awareness towards the issues BIPOC still faces in getting the mental health care they need.

Scapegoating often exists in a workplace environment with an unhealthy culture. The culture is usually established by leadership, and if leadership doesn't put an end to scapegoating, then they are most likely allowing it and even encouraging it. Most of these types of work environments are led by people who promote this type of dysfunction.

Former Marine and Iraq War veteran Rep. Seth Moulton introduced a bill in Congress recently that would make it easier for service members to seek mental health care outside their chain of command.
The Brandon Act, named for Navy Aircrew Aviation Electrician's Mate Striker Brandon Caserta, who died by suicide two years ago in Norfolk, Virginia, would give service members a safe word that would trigger an immediate automatic referral to a mental health specialist for evaluation.

The coronavirus pandemic has spawned an epidemic of mental health issues, witnesses recently told congressional lawmakers who are considering a wide range of mental health reforms.
Mental health experts testifying before the U.S. House Energy and Commerce Committee said the social isolation, job loss and even the coronavirus' attacks on the human brain has led to a surge of suicides, depression, anxiety and other mental health ills. Lawmakers on the committee are considering nearly two dozen bills — many of them bipartisan — that aim to address gaps in the nation's mental health system.

As many states are giving the green light to reopen, employers are developing plans to bring employees back to work safely, giving careful thought to schedules, seating configurations, visitor policies, elevator usage, food delivery and much more. While workforce reentry certainly includes logistical and operational planning, it is not just physical well-being that employers must take into account. Equally important is how organizations will respond to employees' emotional and psychological health — a topic that, regrettably, is discussed far less frequently.

When Carolyn Black Becker, a psychologist who studies eating disorders, used to explain her research to colleagues, she would get blank stares. The field, after all, was disproportionately focused on young girls and women who were underweight, white and from middle-class families. In that light, her decision to study eating disorders in people who were facing food insecurity — that is, people without reliable access to sufficient food — seemed unusual, even bizarre to some. However, she also thought she was onto something, and when she finalized the results of her first major study on the issue, conducted among clients of a food bank in San Antonio, the data were striking.

The U.S. is home to more than 21 million military veterans, many of whom have difficulty reintegrating into civilian life. A staggering 20% of them suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, one of the most common trauma-induced mental illnesses. Moreover, it is estimated that 20 veterans die of suicide each day, resulting in about 6,000 deaths by suicide each year.
Research published in the journal Anthrozoös may provide hope — and help. A recent study indicated that walking with a shelter dog may affect psychological and physiological stress indicators in veterans — with particular potential benefits for veterans with an increase in PTSD symptom severity.

For the most part, I think teachers who take recess away as a form of behavior modification are doing it with good intentions. Sometimes they do it because they've experienced success with it before, sometimes they've learned it from someone else, and sometimes they're simply exasperated and can't think of a better option. But here's the thing. Kids who have behavior disorders NEED physical activity in order to regulate their bodies.

Imagine if your brain was blind, insofar that your brain is blind to the judgements and lines of reasoning that make logical and factual sense, and the thoughts that don't. Scary, right? What's more important than being able to accurately discern what is fact from fiction and what is biased from unbiased? Well, in case you didn't know, there is a name for this, the Dunning-Kruger effect.
