Addiction and Substance Abuse

Addiction and Substance Abuse

Brain health is a topic that not only requires knowledge of overall health status but also encompasses many aspects of social health, including various types of addiction. These conditions often require mental health counseling that involves ethical and faith-based opinions, cultural norms and spiritual beliefs. All of which we need to consider regarding our own perspectives as we strive to assist others.
