Scott 🇮🇱🇺🇦🗽<p>A federal district judge in Washington state will enjoy the <a href="https://babka.social/tags/refugee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>refugee</span></a> admissions related funding, freeze recently announced by the administration. This is fantastic, although temporary, news to the thousands of refugees in this country left without resources after their arrival, and even greater number of refugees stuck in foreign lands, some of whom had already sold all of their possessions because the government had provided a date for their entry into the United States.</p><p>In issuing, the TRO, the judge indicated that he has very serious concerns that the administration had in fact, exceeded its authority here, and perhaps also violated the administrative procedures act. That is very good news for # refugees for now, but of course much will depend on what happens on appeal.</p><p><a href="https://babka.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a><br><a href="https://babka.social/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a><br><a href="https://babka.social/tags/APA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APA</span></a></p>

Michael Reeder LCPC<p>TITLE: Less Than 2 Hours of Exercise Weekly May Reduce Depression Risk <br>in Adults 50 & Older</p><p>Thank you Dr. Pope.</p><p>-------- Forwarded Message --------</p><p>The American Psychiatric Association issued the following news release:<br>Less Than Two Hours of Exercise Weekly May Reduce Depression Risk in <br>Adults 50 and Older</p><p>Just 100 minutes of moderate exercise weekly (for example, brisk <br>walking) may help reduce the risk of depression in adults aged 50 years <br>and older, suggests a report published today in JAMA Network Open.</p><p>“The findings of this cohort study suggest that physical activity doses <br>lower … than doses recommended in [WHO] guidelines for overall health … <br>may protect against depressive symptoms and major depression among older <br>adults,” wrote Eamon Laird, Ph.D., of the University of Limerick, <br>Ireland, and colleagues. “We do not advocate for reduced activity levels <br>in any population, but these findings suggest that even doses lower than <br>recommended may protect mental health over time.”</p><p>Laird and colleagues used data from The Irish Longitudinal Study on <br>Ageing, which collects demographic, health, and lifestyle information <br>from community-dwelling adults who are at least 50 years old and live in <br>Ireland. They examined data from 4,016 participants who had completed <br>interviews and questionnaires between October 2009 and December 2018. <br>Depression symptoms were assessed using the 8-item version of the Centre <br>for Epidemiological Studies Depression (CES-D). Laird and colleagues <br>converted participants’ responses on the Physical Activity Questionnaire <br>into metabolic equivalent of task (MET) minutes per week. (One MET <br>equals the amount of oxygen an average person uses while sitting for one <br>minute. One minute of moderate activity equals about 4 METs.)</p><p>During the 10-year follow-up period, depression rates increased from a <br>mean of 8.2% to 12.2%, Laird and colleagues reported.</p><p>Compared with adults who reported low physical activity (<600 MET <br>minutes per week), those who performed moderate activity (600 to 1,200 <br>MET minutes per week) had a 7% lower rate of depressive symptoms and 42% <br>lower odds of having major depression (defined as a CES-D score of ≥9 or <br>a report of a major depressive episode).</p><p>Adults who performed vigorous activity (1,200 to 2,400 MET minutes per <br>week) had a 20% lower rate of depressive symptoms and 44% lower odds of <br>major depression compared with the low physical activity group.</p><p>When taking a closer look at the low-activity group, Laird and <br>colleagues found that performing at least 400 MET minutes per week could <br>reduce the rate of depressive symptoms or major depression compared with <br>adults who reported no physical activity.</p><p>Laird and colleagues also found that the depression benefits of low to <br>moderate physical activity were more pronounced in adults with chronic <br>diseases such as heart disease, cancer, or arthritis. “This was not <br>surprising given that individuals without chronic conditions could <br>already be engaged in salutary lifestyle practices, resulting in less <br>likelihood of experiencing increased depressive symptoms and major <br>depression compared with those with a chronic disease, and thus may <br>require greater physical activity doses to elicit further protection,” <br>they wrote.</p><p>Ken Pope</p><p>~~~<br>Merely forwarded by<br>Michael Reeder LCPC</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/psychology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/counseling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>counseling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/socialwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/psychotherapy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychotherapy</span></a><br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychotherapist" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>psychotherapist</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychotherapists" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>psychotherapists</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychology" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>psychology</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/socialpsych" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>socialpsych</span></a></span> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/socialwork" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>socialwork</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/psychiatry" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>psychiatry</span></a></span> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/mentalhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mentalhealth</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/psychiatry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>psychiatry</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthcare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/depression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>depression</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/exercise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exercise</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/APA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APA</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a></p>
Michael Reeder LCPC<p>TITLE: Healthcare Professional Associations and Blue/Red States</p><p>A topic that has been on my mind periodically -- the near inevitability that healthcare professional associations will be splitting into two or more factions in the coming few years. Yet I have not seen any discussion of this to-date.</p><p>I cast no shade upon associations (ACA, APA, NASW, AMA, etc.) and I do not have any particular current behavior of these associations in mind. In fact -- most associations have been publicly supportive of LBGTQ+, transgender, and reproductive choice rights; and sometimes immigrant and religious rights. Instead, I'm looking at two areas of likely concern:</p><p>a) Ethical codes versus law<br>b) Financial concerns</p><p>Most healthcare associations that I'm aware of have professional ethical code standards promoting client self-determination, and require equal treatment of all clients/patients. A large number of "red states" have recently passed or started enforcing any number of laws discriminating against transgender youth and adults, the LGBTQ+ community, immigrants, abortion and other reproductive rights practices, and sometimes alternative religions. The exact details and rationale vary by state.</p><p>This all creates a major dilemma for healthcare practitioners in these red states. Do they:</p><p>1) Take an ethical stand and risk their licenses and/or jail time?<br>2) Protect their livelihoods and risk violating current professional association ethics rules?<br>3) Flee to "blue states"?</p><p>This all also creates dilemmas for professional associations. Do they:</p><p>1) Fight red state laws, and risk legal consequences for themselves and their members?<br>2) Enforce ethical practice standards in red states or turn a blind eye to discriminatory ethical code violations of members in red states in order to not make waves and maintain membership roles?<br>3) Change (water down) ethical codes in order to continue functioning in both blue and red states? Perhaps develop state-specific ethical codes? (Some ethical codes already contain possible escape clauses about functioning within the laws of each state.)</p><p>There are strong legal and ethical considerations in all of the above options.</p><p>Then -- perhaps -- there are financial concerns (although I hope money is not the deciding factor). The PGA Tour spent the past few years vilifying the human rights record of the Saudis and ostracizing golfers who joined the LIV Tour. Now they are merging, leading to charges of sportswashing and money trumping all else. I assume that healthcare provider associations operate differently (right?), but nonetheless find myself wondering which option would cost them more in terms of money, membership, and power:</p><p>a) Maintaining a strong emphasis on current non-discriminatory ethical codes, thereby causing an exodus of red state members and the creation of competing associations with ethical codes compatible with red state discriminatory laws? Or<br>b) Watering down ethical codes, not enforcing ethical codes, and/or claiming "following state law" trumps all else; thereby causing an exodus of progressive liberal members and the creation of competing associations with ethical codes stricter on non-discrimination and more compatible with blue state laws?</p><p>I fear that option a) directly above would be the more profitable choice. Everyone (progressive liberal and conservative) can continue functioning under watered-down ethics and associations can continue functioning in all states. I speculate that fewer members would be lost to progressive liberals resigning than to all members in red states resigning and associations risking prosecution by red state governments.</p><p>What are your thoughts on this matter?</p><p>Are there publications and/or studies addressing these issues? Ongoing deliberations amongst healthcare professional association leadership?</p><p>Thanks,<br>Michael</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/tags/lgbt" class="mention hashtag"

Mel Campbell<p>But the reflexive pronoun poses a challenge. Some people prefer 'themself' as a singular option, because 'themselves' just _feels_ too plural.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChicagoManualOfStyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChicagoManualOfStyle</span></a> prefers 'themself' but allows 'themselves'. </p><p>The AU Govt <a href="https://aus.social/tags/StyleManual" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StyleManual</span></a> prefers 'themselves' but allows 'themself'.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/APA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APA</span></a> says, "Both 'themselves' and 'themself' are acceptable as reflexive singular pronouns; however, 'themselves' is currently the more common usage."</p><p>One big challenge of gender-neutral writing is getting used to the roll between singular and plural when the sentence uses someone's name and then their pronoun. This isn't intuitively 'good grammar' for many people.</p><p>I am okay with the shift between "Ali wants a free apple and they want to find their keys" but I kind of struggle with 'themself', which I know some people find more safely singular.</p><p>I'd rather use 'themselves', which I think most people instinctively reach for in colloquial settings when the subject is unknown. </p><p>I used the following example in a Facebook writers' group, where it was greeted with mirth: "Smells like someone shat themselves." </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/they" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>they</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SingularThey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SingularThey</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/InclusiveLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InclusiveLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Editing</span></a></p>
Mel Campbell<p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/APStyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APStyle</span></a> prefers replacing a nonbinary person's pronoun with their name, and to mention in the story that they use gender-neutral pronouns.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/APA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>APA</span></a> embraces the singular they: "because it is inclusive of all people and helps writers avoid making assumptions about gender. Although usage of the singular 'they' was once discouraged in academic writing, many advocacy groups and publishers have accepted and endorsed it, including Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary."</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/ChicagoManualOfStyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ChicagoManualOfStyle</span></a> recommended the singular they in its 14th edition but then got cold feet and rescinded the recommendation in the 15th and 16th editions, but lol, the 17th edition is okay with it, but in 'formal writing' they recommend avoiding it through the following strategies:</p><p>– omit pronoun</p><p>– repeat the noun, as AP recommends (though they do say, "Take care not to overuse this technique." LOL)</p><p>– use plurals or the imperative mood, as AU Govt Style recommends</p><p>– use an article instead of a pronoun (e.g. 'the application' instead of 'their application')</p><p>– use the pronoun 'one'. But weirdly their example doesn't use it the way I would, e.g. "One must always be careful." <a href="https://aus.social/tags/CMOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CMOS</span></a> is like, "An actor in New York earns more than one in Paducah."</p><p>CMOS also notes that the singular they is more accepted in UK usage than US usage.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>language</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/they" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>they</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/SingularThey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SingularThey</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/InclusiveLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>InclusiveLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Editing</span></a></p>
