Welcome to The Barrier Breakdown: Disrupting Mental Health! This week our guest is Sister Kate, founder of a non-profit cannabis collective that opened for business in 2010. There, she served cannabidiol medicine to local terminal patients, and during that time, she developed a line of teas, tinctures and salves for patients to experience its healing effects without needing to smoke it.

Welcome to The Barrier Breakdown: Disrupting Mental Health!  Today we are joined by Dr. Jane Ogden and her PhD student, Dr. Amelia Dennis.  Dr. Ogden is a prefessor of health psychology at the university of Surrey UK and has published over 200 research papers and 8 books. Dr. Dennis is focused on reseaching attachement theory and nostalgia, which is a key factor in their lockdown related research. In a recent study, subjects were given instructions to perform imaginative exercises about themselves in the past, present, and future. The results of these ruminations grants key insights into ways in which mental health practitioners can encourage positive thoughts and growth in their clients, even during hardships such as the Covid-19 pandemic.  You can find Dr. Ogden & Dr. Dennis's paper here: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17439760.2020.1858335  All our upcoming continuing education events can be found at www.cbicenterforeducation.com  You can watch or listen to The Barrier Breakdown on any of the following streaming services: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyc6xZzY7ra3L5pI2g5GKrw  Podbean - https://cbi.podbean.com  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2ETgUdDykWN96Tv26PWyZ2  Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-barrier-breakdown-disrupting-mental-health/id1546097545  Follow us on social media: CBI: https://www.facebook.com/CognitiveBehaviorInstitute Center for Ed: https://www.facebook.com/CBIcenterforeducation  Instagram: @cognitivebehaviorinstitute  Twitter: @CBI_Pittsburgh :::::::::::::::::::: Music: Basic Majesty - Ashley Shadow Support by RFM - NCM: https://youtu.be/XVwlTTMgw5c  ::::::::::::::::::::

Welcome to The Barrier Breakdown: Disrupting Mental Health!  This week our guest is Dr. Samuel Chawner, a research fellow from Cardiff University's Center for Human Developmental Science. His reasearch integrates genetics and psychology to provide new insights into child development and autism. Rather than disgnosing autism purely on symptoms, Dr. Chawner's studies use genetic testing to produce a more inclusive diagnostic procedure that aims to help individuals who don't meet the criteria for autism but still need help. We also discuss the effects of Covid-19 in Europe and the UK, as well as some of the differences between the US healthcare system and the European model.  You can find Dr. Chawner's Cardiff University staff page as well as links to his publications here: https://www.cardiff.ac.uk/people/view/2422703-  His work with the Genes to Mental Health Network, where he is a Co-Investigator on Project 2, is also available here: https://genes2mentalhealth.com/  All our upcoming continuing education events can be found at www.cbicenterforeducation.com  You can watch or listen to The Barrier Breakdown on any of the following streaming services: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyc6xZzY7ra3L5pI2g5GKrw   Podbean - https://cbi.podbean.com Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2ETgUdDykWN96Tv26PWyZ2   Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-barrier-breakdown-disrupting-mental-health/id1546097545   Follow us on social media: CBI: https://www.facebook.com/CognitiveBehaviorInstitute  Center for Ed: https://www.facebook.com/CBIcenterforeducation  Instagram: @cognitivebehaviorinstitute  Twitter: @CBI_Pittsburgh :::::::::::::::::::: Music: Basic Majesty - Ashley Shadow Support by RFM - NCM: https://youtu.be/XVwlTTMgw5c   ::::::::::::::::::::

Welcome to The Barrier Breakdown: Disrupting Mental Health!  Sometimes it seems like social media makes you crazy, but what if analyzing user data actually gave us indications that someone was experiencing the early stages of psychosis? That's the question that our guest this week,  Dr. Michael Birnbaum, wants to answer! Dr. Birnbaum is an attending physician for New York's Zucker Hillside Hospital and the program director for Northwell Health's early treatment program—a clinical and research initiative for adolescents and young adults in the early stages of psychosis. His research aims to develop methods of identifying and diagnosing the onset of psychosis through the avenues of social media and the internet at large. This effort combines the use of both text and images to give an early-warning, which a clinician can then use to narrow down or even dismiss their diagnosis.  All our upcoming continuing education events can be found at www.cbicenterforeducation.com  You can watch or listen to The Barrier Breakdown on any of the following streaming services: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyc6xZzY7ra3L5pI2g5GKrw  Podbean - https://cbi.podbean.com  Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/2ETgUdDykWN96Tv26PWyZ2  Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-barrier-breakdown-disrupting-mental-health/id1546097545  Follow us on social media: CBI: https://www.facebook.com/CognitiveBehaviorInstitut e Center for Ed: https://www.facebook.com/CBIcenterforeducation  Instagram: @cognitivebehaviorinstitute  Twitter: @CBI_Pittsburgh :::::::::::::::::::: Music: Basic Majesty - Ashley Shadow Support by RFM - NCM: https://youtu.be/XVwlTTMgw5c  ::::::::::::::::::::
