Findings to practitioners in the field of Behavioral Health an issue of concern . Its an issue of concern because, generally speaking, as researchers, weve had a tendency to do this in a oneway street, so that we come into a treatmentwe either design an intervention or we come into a Treatment Organization as experts. We tell them what were going to do or what they should be doing without really consulting with them in terms of what they need, just like what tom said. It really has to be a twoway street. And so, i think what has happened so far, many times, is theresits really two different specialties, if you will, and what the researcher is doing is really not that relevant to whats going on in the field for a variety of reasons. A lot of the clinical trials, for example, have very exclusive criteria, so that the majority of people that a Treatment Agency would see are not included. Thats the first thing. And also, a lot of these studies that produce the evidencebased are done in a s
This one. This one. There was kind of some argument about, well, which came first . We need to address the Substance Abuse issue before we can make headway on the Mental Health issue. On the flip side, the Mental Health practitioners would say, no, we need to address the depression or what have you before we can really make headway on the Substance Use.

Fire. The roof and spire collapsing on the 800yearold building which continues at this hour to be engulfed by smoke and flames. Right now were told more than 400 firefighters mobilized to try to save whats left of the cathedral, a cathedral we should note, is not just symbolic for france and not just for catholics, but for all of us around the world, for anyone who can appreciate beauty or godliness or history or architecture. As 19th century novelist victor hugo once rode of the Notre Dame Cathedral, quote, every surface, every stone of this venerable pile is a page of the history, not only of the history, but of science and art. Were learning at this hour french president Emmanuel Macron was on the scene. Were not sure if hes still there. Paris prosecutors have announced an investigation into this fire, even before its been put out. World leaders have been offering prayers for france as the horrific fire continues.
