Interventions and Family Mediation

Originally posted on Future Health Care

An intervention is any process by which one individual or group of individuals intervene in the progress of a given situation. Interventions can take place in a variety of settings – they don’t always occur in living rooms. For instance, an intervention can occur in a doctor’s office when a doctor observes drug-seeking behavior and can make recommendations to their patient. Other types of interventions include school drug prevention programs designed to intercede in the normal progression of things like peer pressure or family history of abuse.

Perhaps the most popular form of intervention at the current time is the family intervention where a group of family members or friends of someone who is struggling with addiction confronts the individual to encourage them to get the help they need. Planning an effective intervention may not be as easy as it seems. During the intervention, the confronted individual may become resistant, angry, and might even try to leave the location where the intervention is taking place. In order to plan the most successful intervention possible, you may want to consider hiring a professional who is experienced in the planning and execution of drug abuse interventions.

WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO PLANNING AN INTERVENTION?

The first most important step to planning an intervention is determining whether or not your loved one is suffering from addiction or drug abuse issues. There are several indicators established by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual that may indicate if you or someone you love has a problem with drugs or alcohol. This manual is used by professionals in the psychological field to ensure consistency in the diagnosis of mental illnesses and other conditions.

The criteria for drug abuse and addiction are as follows:

An individual who is unable or unwilling to meet their obligations at home or work or school because of recurrent drug use may suffer from the condition of drug abuse.

An individual who continually places themselves in danger, such as by driving a car while under the influence of drugs or alcohol may suffer from the condition of drug abuse.

An individual who is repeatedly challenged by law enforcement due to behaviors associated with drug use may suffer from the condition of drug abuse.

An individual who uses drugs despite constant social or family fighting about the issue may suffer from the condition of drug abuse.

When an individual develops a tolerance, the need to use more of the same drugs to achieve the effects they are looking for, or suffers from withdrawal symptoms when they are unable to use their drugs of choice, they may suffer from the condition of substance dependence (also known as addiction).

If an individual has no control over the amount of drugs they consume or for how long they expose themselves to drugs in a single event, they may suffer from addiction.

When an individual continues to abuse drugs even though they know the drugs are hurting them physically or emotionally, they may simply be unable to stop using without help.

If someone you love has exhibited the types of behaviors described here, you may want to consider speaking with a professional intervention specialist to determine your best course of action. You can also discuss the matter with your primary care physician. Once you’ve established that an addiction or drug abuse situation is likely, your next step is to select your intervention team.

The intervention team should consist of people who have influence over or a great love and affection for the individual suffering from addiction. It is important to limit the participants in the intervention team to people the individual respects and admires. Perhaps a favorite teacher, employer, or family friend might be involved. Members of the clergy, if the individual is or has been a member of a local church, might also be a member of this team.

Family members are often members of the intervention team, and it is important to remember what constitutes family for many people. In a study conducted to show the effects of family therapy, the researchers established that there are several types families, and that family doesn’t just mean being blood related.

Once you’ve selected your intervention team, the benefits of a professional intervention specialist can be of great help. Addiction is a complex illness, so it is very difficult to understand if one has not experienced it. A professional interventionist or family mediator can take some time to educate everyone involved about what addiction is, how it develops, and how it is treated effectively. When all the members have a basic understanding of the disease they are about to fight, they can be can begin writing their intervention letters to their loved one.

Many times during an intervention, emotions run high. It is easy to become distracted, angry or frustrated with the individual who may make significant excuses for their behavior, continually deny that they have any issues, or – depending on the types of drugs being abused – become violent. This is why writing down thoughts can greatly help. While members of the intervention team may want to rehearse what they will say on the day of the intervention, it is important to have a letter right in front of them so they can read it word for word to their loved one. This letter may go through several drafts before the actual event, and that is to be expected. It is often difficult to find exactly what one wants to say and the appropriate manner in which to say it.

DO I HAVE TO AMBUSH MY LOVED ONE?

Oftentimes in the media, an intervention is depicted as a surprise event, where family members ambush a member of their family who is abusing drugs. Depending on the individual, this may or may not be necessary. If you have a family member or loved one who has expressed a desire to break free of their drug addiction but have not followed through on it, you may schedule a time for a simple family meeting. Under these circumstances, a professional interventionist and family mediator may help keep everyone calm and on track for the purpose at hand.

Drug abuse is a sensitive topic for anyone, and the individual who is suffering from addiction may be defensive and angry even when they’ve agreed to engage in mediation. Addiction is a brain disease that changes how people behave, so having an individual who understands the issues without being directly affected by them, such as a professional interventionist or a mediator, can have often help keep the peace.

GETTING HELP FOR YOUR FAMILY MEMBER OR LOVED ONE

Sleeping for longer each night is a simple lifestyle intervention that could help reduce intake of sugary foods and lead to a generally healthier diet, according to a King’s College London study. Sleep is a modifiable risk factor for various conditions including obesity and cardio-metabolic disease with some figures suggesting more than a third of adults in the UK are not getting enough sleep.

This project presents a video that showcases a collection of three watercolour painting accompanying varies pace of breathing sounds. The collection aims to raise awareness on the pollution that is created by our consumer society and encourage viewers to protect the environment, by recycling and reusing materials. 

The work is based on personal experience and I wish to express the damage pollution can do to us. Pollution has cost plenty of issues to the human bodies and environment.  The fossil fuel emissions from factories, disposal of toxic waste pollute the air we breathe in our bodies, hence affecting our organs. Having lived in a country with the highest traffic density, having a significant amount of coal-burning power plants and having the wind blowing smog in from China, it causes major health problem for Hong Kong people. I intend to respond to air pollution and the polluted air that we suffocate in.

I was inspired by Caroline Wright’s Breath Control. She explored the patterns of inhalations and exhalations that form melody, rhythm and punctuation based on our everyday existence. She presented the work with three themes, notes, hyperventilation and osmosis. Notes is an interactive installation where people are invited to sing the longest note from one breath and data of the respiratory health of the participant will be collected. Hyperventilation showcase a Breath Choir in response to medical information on over-breathing and hyperventilation. Osmosis explores the exchange of air and creates a relationship between audience and the Breath Choir. Wright encourages me to develop my idea through breathing sounds.

My three works represent the stages of body destruction caused by inhaling polluted air. The three works are named ‘Disinfected’, ‘Disorder’, Destruction’ respectively. Stage one is disinfected, representing the beginning stages, when the world has less pollution and the air we breathe in is considered pure. The green is used to represent green life and purity, the stroke is soft and light, suggest that it is at a stage with less or no impact of pollution in the world. Stage two is disorder, representing the forming of waste, purities and pollution that is beginning to destroy the ecology, where the air we breathe in is slightly damaged. Stage three is destruction, representing how our body is destroyed by inhaling toxic fumes, indicating the final stages of life. Presenting my final work in the form of stages would significantly impact the way viewer’s thinking, warning them that it is our last chance to change before causing the destruction of the world.

The artworks are built upon each other, I begin painting stage one and stage two over it and finally stage three as the last layer. With the purpose of showing the built-up impact that pollution creates. This is enhanced by painting on non-watercolour paper, as it can’t contain a heavy load of liquid, the paper would be damaged with multiple paint layers and create tiny paper balls, which it represents purities from pollution. A built-up layer also darkens the overall colour tone and creates a dirty look, which compliments stage three.  Although the brush strokes represent the environment, it also resembles the breathing flow that co-exists with the sound of breathing. I incorporated breathing sounds to enhance the impact of pollution, it begins with calm breathing sounds to rapid and suffocating sounds to suggest that every time we inhale polluted air, it damages our lungs and restrains our breathing. It encourages listeners to think about the causes of pollution and raise awareness on protecting the earth.

I took pictures of the stages and enhance the aesthetic by darkening the tone and converting the background from the yellowish lighting to crisp white. This creates a contrast and emphasis on the stroke patterns and colour tones. Another edit is transforming the square images of the work to a rectangular shape to fit the whole screen of the video. Filling up the screen, would remove the black borders and remove any distraction. Every second is precisely matched against the pace of the breathing. The soundtrack is finished off with a couple coughs, as it represents that we have reached the final stage. The brown splotches on ‘Destruction’ resemble a cough out phlegm that is contaminated with dirt.

​Alzheimer's Disease linked to the metabolism of unsaturated A new study published today in PLOS Medicine's Special Issue on Dementia has found that the metabolism of omega-3 and omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids in the brain are associated with the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. 

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder, which causes impaired memory, executive function and language. It accounts for 60 - 80% of total dementia cases worldwide, with over 46 million people suffering from the disease worldwide. The number of patients is estimated to rise to 131.5 million by 2050.
