Loved behind the scenes peek in @ConversationUS' latest newsletter on how its stories get from idea to print. One of my fav sources of out-of-the-ordinary analysis & research!

[Jillian West @JillianEWest]

This is truly shocking. "Home care workers’ labor happens behind closed doors...As a result, their work is systemically devalued, dismissed as “domestic care” and reimbursed at rock-bottom rates." @andylocal https://t.co/ewYnH5GmbY

And yet, the arrival of the @LLBean catalogue in my mailbox makes me want all the flannel.

the arrival of the pumpkin spice latte is like the grim reaper showing up in his cardigan and scarf and I have to take him aside and be like dude you are sweating an unhealthy amount

We have to do more to support parents struggling with substance use. Great to work with @AddictionPolicy Forum on this piece featuring work from @urbaninstitute's opioid & substance use portfolio. https://t.co/JNrKiudFF2 #addiction #opioidcrisis

[Urban Institute @urbaninstitute]

Even though 4 in 5 parents see a provider about their own health at least once a year, many are not asked about their use of alcohol or drugs: https://t.co/zpuKAsYBM1 (via V. Lynch, @JillianEWest, @LisaClemansCope)

[Jillian West @JillianEWest]

The pediatrician's office can be a critical touchpoint for asking about #substanceuse too. More on supporting families struggling with unhealthy substance use from @urbaninstitute here: https://t.co/YLrZVWgcIW cc @david_schleifer

[Catherine Arnst @cathyarnst]

What do parents want? @UnitedHospFund and @PublicAgenda asked parents how they felt about pediatric screening for social needs, found they wanted pediatricians to earn their trust, explains @suzbrundage @Health_Affairs #SDOH https://t.co/0LWK8p6r4e

[Addiction Policy Forum @AddictionPolicy]

Our friends at @urbaninstitute explain how we can support parents seeking help for substance use. Read their guest blog here: https://t.co/b1Y8cTZbOa

[Jillian West @JillianEWest]

@haroldpollack We have to do so much more to support parents trying to manage SUDs AND raise their kids. This has been a big focus for us lately.... https://t.co/JNrKiudFF2

[Jillian West @JillianEWest]

"By focusing on vivid extreme cases, media accounts do a double disservice. They fail to educate readers...and also send an implicitly toxic message that the grip of #addiction is too strong to expect we can do much to help." @haroldpollack https://t.co/VeofMcv4yQ

Loved writing this guest blog for @AddictionPolicy Forum with Victoria Lynch & others working on @urbaninstitute's opioid & substance use portfolio. We have to do more to support parents: https://t.co/JNrKiudFF2 #addiction #opioidcrisis
