Additionally, you will consider how a scholar-practitioner working in the field of substance abuse counseling can help create social change.To prepare for this Discussion: Review this week’s Learning Resources, focusing on the information about historical developments and national and international policies and laws related to substance abuse. Additionally, reflect on the implications that substance abuse counseling and related prevention programs have for scholar-practitioners committed to social change. Reflect on how historical developments and national and international policies and laws have impacted substance abuse and substance abuse counseling. Review the DVD segment, “History and Context of Substance Abuse Counseling,” with Dr. Tom Cargiulo. Think about how what Dr. Cargiulo discusses about the history of substance abuse in various cultures and the implementation of specific substance-related laws in the United States have impacted substance abuse and substance abuse counseling today. Select a specific substance and reflect on the historical developments that have contributed to its abuse. Consider which of these developments have contributed the most to the abuse of this substance today. Perform an academic search in the Walden Library and select a scholarly article from a peer-reviewed journal that discusses advocacy and social change in relation to an issue, problem, or concern studied in this course that interests you and that you would like to address in future work. Consider the role you might like to take as an advocate and/or agent of social change to address this issue.With these thoughts in mind:Post by Day 4 a description of the historical development that you believe contributes most to the abuse of a particular substance today. Justify your selection of this historical development and explain the impact it has had on the abuse of the particular substance. Then, describe a negative impact that a national or international policy has had on substance abuse and/or substance abuse counseling. Lastly, discuss your thoughts about the role you might like to take as an advocate and/or agent of social change within the field of substance abuse counseling.Note: Put the names of both the historical development and national or international policy you discussed in the first line of your post. You will be asked to respond to a colleague who discussed a different development and/or policy than you did.Web SitesAmerican Counseling Association (ACA). ACA Code of Ethics. (2014).
