SummaryLucy Johnston discusses the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF), an alternative to the diagnostic model of distress. The PTMF aims to move away from labeling and medicating distress and instead focuses on narrative practice and understanding. It emphasizes the role of power and the links between personal distress and wider social, political, and economic contexts. The PTMF has received both positive and negative reactions, with some seeing it as radical and threatening existing power structures. Lucy discusses the challenges and criticisms she has faced and the importance of continuing the conversation and promoting alternative narratives.

Together they discussed issues including the increasing demand for services, pressures on staff, how outcomes are measured and what needs to happen next to ensure people receive the help they need.

Have you ever observed a sudden shift in a child's routine and wondered what it truly meant? Unveiling the enigmatic signs of childhood trauma, this episode features counseling psychologist Natalia Andoh who brings her profound insights into how these early experiences shape our mental health into adulthood. Together, we dissect the staggering reality that nearly 1 billion children face trauma, emphasizing the urgency for awareness and support.Navigating the intersection of personal anecdotes and professional expertise, I open up about my path to mental health advocacy, shaped by my own introspections and life's unforeseen challenges. Our discussion moves through the undercurrents of behavior, from the subtleties of a child's shifts in habits to the tumultuous effects on adult relationships and self-development. Natalia provides a keen understanding of the thin line between typical sorrow and significant psychological distress, offering guidance to help identify when professional intervention may be necessary for healing.Closing the conversation, we shed light on the less obvious symptoms of mental distress that are often overlooked, such as dramatic changes in sleep or eating patterns. It's an invitation to listeners: stay engaged, share your narratives, and join a burgeoning community that champions mental health. This heartfelt episode is not just a listening experience but a call to extend empathy and support to those grappling with the invisible scars of trauma.Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds

Dr. Kimberly Schonert-Reichl is the NoVo Foundation Endowed Chair in Social and Emotional Learning and Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There has been a push to maintain in-person learning during the pandemic, and that has come with several new challenges - one of the biggest being how to handle the mental health impact being felt by everyone in school systems. Kimberley has done extensive research on this subject and highlights from her conversation with Rod and Jal include: why we are seeing more kids acting out in schools; an emphasis on supporting the mental health of teachers and administrators in addition to the children; where social-emotional learning (SEL) fits within school curriculums; how stress levels transfer between teachers and students; why schools should focus more on developing better citizens of tomorrow instead of just academic outcomes; and a little wisdom gleaned from the Dalai Lama.

Jennie Ostendorf refers to herself as a millennial orphan after recently losing her mother and father to suicide. She's also a friend, a sister to a Buddhist monk, a future therapist, a present therapy client advocating for mental health, and so much more.    Born and raised in Los Angeles to two native Angelenos, her childhood was idyllic as she grew up by the beach, surrounded by a loving family, and a successful entrepreneur mother as a role model. Jennie had a brief love affair with New York while attending Barnard College at Columbia University where she studied economics, dance, and leadership. After graduation, sunshine and family called her home to California where she began her career in entertainment, media, and marketing. Most recently, Jennie led community and partnerships for the consumer health and biotech start-up Seed Health.    Shifting gears and finding purpose after losing both of her parents to mental illness, Jennie is now pursuing a Master's in Social Work at USC in the Adult Mental Health and Wellness department. She looks forward to continuing to advocate for mental health and bringing therapy practices to areas where mental health is often neglected. She champions the idea that mental health is health and that humanity depends on it being treated as such.    Jennie is deeply passionate about cultivating community and takes pride in her ability to connect people, places, and things with thoughtful care. She loves her family, big friendships, yoga, spending time in nature, pollinator spotting, neighborhood walks, breathing in the ocean air, pizza nights with friends, musical theater, the radio program This American Life, and watching all genres of television (but is especially into reality at the moment).     Jennie is dealing with the grief and loss of her parents by not being afraid to ask for help, to cry in public, and to turn to her community for support whenever she needs it. She is an incredible example of vulnerability mixed with strength to get through even the hardest of times by putting one foot in front of the other, being self-aware, and giving back.

This weeks question is from Elena, “How do I talk to my child about my mental health issues? I struggle with depression and anxiety, both of which have been worse since the pandemic started. I know it impacts my child, but I am not sure how much to say, or whether to say anything at all. I don't want him to always be worried about me. I also don't want to give him problems by talking about these issues. I would love your thoughts on how to address it, if at all.”                                           The question of how to explain mental health to a child is a common one that I think a lot of parents wrestle with. In this episode, I will address when it is appropriate to talk about adult mental health issues with your children and how to approach the topic. There is no one way to approach this. The key is to address it in a developmentally appropriate way. Kids are very intuitive so ultimately you are helping them understand something they may already be perceiving. And in doing so they understand that parents have struggles too and it's ok to share your struggles with others. Throughout the episode, I provide several strategies to help guide you through this conversation.  You can submit a question by emailing us at support@drbeurkens.com with the subject line "Podcast Question."
