How Substance Abuse Affects Mental Health

Write a short, 3-5 page, reflective paper related to an issue or concept(s) covered in the material. Think beyond the information presented and write about further insights that you believe are important.

The focus of reflective papers may include but are not limited to culture, values, biases, assumptions, or ethical considerations.

Consider how the social environment influences the mental health treatment of individuals from micro, mezzo, or macro levels. Two examples are listed below:

1). Have mental health policies benefited individuals with mental illness?

2). Should social workers use the DSM-5?

Does it reflect social work values?

The reflection paper should not exceed 3-5 pages — this does not include the cover or reference pages. Citations and references are required for this assignment and must be formatted according to APA 7th Edition.
