Today Princeton House’s First Responder Treatment Services team celebrated Cop2Cop’s 25th anniversary. This hotline is staffed by former law enforcement professionals who provide a friendly ear, peer support, and referrals to active-duty officers throughout NJ who are having mental health or substance use crises. Thousands have been helped by Cop2Cop, and similar hotlines are in place for nurses and mothers of special needs children. Congratulations and thank you to the dedicated staff of Cop2Cop! #cop2cop #firstresponders #princetonhousebh

It's Podcast Thursday! The disease model of addiction is a framework that views addiction as a chronic, relapsing brain disease. The model posits (assume as a fact) that addiction is caused by changes in brain chemistry and neurobiology that make it difficult for individuals to control their substance use behavior. Harm reduction is a newer treatment modality that focuses on the person with the addiction making incremental changes to reach a goal they set. How do these two models co-exist? Host Andy Dean speaks with Ken Pecoraro, LCSW, LCADC, CCS a longtime therapist and educator with CPC Integrated Health in Monmouth County, NJ.

Today is Health Workforce Well-Being Day, a day dedicated to acknowledging the vital role of safeguarding the well-being of healthcare workers and fostering a workplace environment that supports the needs of all those involved in providing exceptional patient care. Working in healthcare presents unique challenges as both clinical and non-clinical staff are called upon to help address the emotional health of patients and their loved ones, while also managing their own feelings. Often, the demands placed on employees do not allow time for reflection, and our reactions can sneak up on us when we least expect it. It is important to find moments throughout your workday to check in with yourself and seek help if you are feeling overwhelmed.
