If you've ever wanted mental health support but haven't been able to get it, you are not alone. In fact, you're part of the more than 50% of adults and more than 75% of young people worldwide with unmet psychological needs. Maybe you've faced months-long waiting lists, or you're not sure if your problems are ‘bad enough' to merit treatment? Maybe you tried therapy but stopped due to costs or time constraints? Perhaps you just don't know where to start looking? The fact is, there are infinite reasons why mental health treatment is hard to get. There's an urgent need for new ideas and pathways to help people heal. Little Treatments, Big Effects integrates cutting-edge psychological science, lived experience narratives and practical self-help activities to introduce a new type of therapeutic experience to audiences worldwide: single-session interventions. Its chapters unpack why systemic change in mental healthcare is necessary; the science behind how single-session interventions make it possible; how others have created ‘meaningful moments' in their recovery journeys (and how you can, too); and how single-session interventions could transform the mental healthcare system into one that's accessible to all. Shermer and Schleider discuss: her own experience with mental illness and eating disorder • 80% of people meet criteria for a mental illness at some point in their life • the goal of therapy • navigating therapy modalities, access, payments, insurance • What prevents people from getting the mental health help they need? • outcome measures to test different therapies • traditional therapy vs. single-session interventions • growth mindset • Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) • difference between goals and values • how action brings change. Jessica L. Schleider, Ph.D. is an American psychologist, author, and an associate professor of Medical Social Sciences at Northwestern University. She is the lab director of the Lab for Scalable Mental Health. She completed her PhD in Clinical Psychology at Harvard University and her Doctoral Internship in Clinical and Community Psychology at Yale School of Medicine. She has received numerous scientific awards for her work in this area and her work is frequently featured in major media outlets (Wall Street Journal, The Atlantic, Washington Post). In 2020, she was selected as one of Forbes Magazine's ‘30 Under 30' in Healthcare. She has developed six evidence-based, single-session mental health programmes, which have served more than 40,000 people to date. She is the author of The Growth Mindset Workbook for Teens and co-editor of the Oxford Guide to Brief and Low Intensity Interventions for Children and Young People. Her new book is Little Treatments, Big Effects: How to Build Meaningful Moments That Can Transform Your Mental Health.

This was such a beautiful conversation about resilience and healing. Holly is a UW graduate, TBI Survivor and founder of Neuro Wellness Community, where connections empower resilience. Her own journey through adversity, surviving a severe Traumatic Brain Injury and two week coma and the lifetime recovery through trauma and healing led her to see the impact the incredible resources surrounding her had on her life.

This launched her dream to share resources and empower others towards resilience. She founded Resilience Resourcing in 2019 which is now, Neuro Wellness Community. She hosts the Resilience Resourcing Podcast where she's had the honor of spotlighting stories of resilience from celebrities in film and music, to national spokeswomen, doctors and all in between who've overcome adversity in reaching for their dreams, sharing their "real on their way to resilience".

We kind of have to address that harm first of all, but to show them that they have a role that they can actually play in being that person that they wish they had. They can be that young teacher that they wish they might have had when they were in elementary school. 05:30 - Sometimes we're surprised by the young man that that turns out to be like, "I found my passion and my calling through teaching." But I think really, the first thing is commitment. 08:32 - That's a SEEDS approach. It's an acronym that stands for how to be sensitive, how to encourage, how to educate, how to develop skills, and ultimately, how do you develop a self-image within a young person. SEEDS is so great that we actually kind of very softly or maybe secretly use it with the young men themselves.Connect with Becky Dubin JenkinsLinkedInConnect with Bernard Rahming LinkedInThe Literacy LabThe Leading Men FellowshipGuest Bio:Bernard Rahming, IIMilwaukee Program Director, the Literacy Lab's Leading Men FellowshipBernard Rahming is the Program Director for the Literacy Lab's Leading Men Fellowship Program in Milwaukee.

Textile artist Carmen Mardonez was born in Santiago, Chile in 1988. She is the oldest of nine children with seven sisters and one brother. Her father Joaquim is an engineer and her mother, also Carmen, was a psychologist until raising her family took over. As a child, Carmen was into crafts and soon learned to sew, knit, and embroider. She studied History and Arts at the University of Chile, and earned a master's degree in Community Psychology, also at the University of Chile. Whilst in school, Carmen volunteered at the local women's prison and studied art therapy as a way of helping the prisoners. In 2017, she moved with her husband Paulo to Los Angeles where her dreams and aspirations to becoming a textile artist aligned with her passion for social justice. Carmen's vibrant artwork using vivid colors seeks to radically reimagine intimate spaces of memories, dreams, and discovery. She transforms discarded textile waster such as bed sheets, pillow covers, and pillows through her labor-intensive freestyle embroidery to create provocative fabric sculptures and installations. She says: “I seek to connect with these radically intimate spaces that store memories of exploration, discovery, and suffering.” Carmen has held exhibitions across LA, at the Jackson Dinsdale Art Center, JKR Gallery, Provo, Utah, Stay at Home Gallery, Paris, TN, Oranj Studio Gallery, Portland, OR, and the Friend of a Friend Gallery, Denver, CO. Her work has also been shown in “Building Bridges Art Exchange” and “Craft Contemporary”, and has received the support of several grants, scholarships, and art residencies. Later this summer, Carmen will be relocating to Oxford, England with her husband and their six year old son Juan.Carmen's favorite women artists:Sarah PlamodonSarah DetweilerAmy J.

Dr. Charmeka Newton, known as Dr. Char, originally wanted to become a journalist so she took communication and writing courses. However, while she was taking these courses, she also took some psychology classes and found that psychology matched her personality more than communication, so she ended up earning her bachelor's degree in psychology and communication. She recalls, “I think the thing that really sparked my interest [in psychology] was the ability to help people and to make an impact on individuals' lives.” She followed that interest and passion by attending Penn State University for her master's degree in Community Psychology & Social Change then followed up by attending Western Michigan University for her PhD in Counseling Psychology. In this podcast, Dr. Char shares her academic and professional journey and shares the experiences and mentors who helped her find her niche in the field of psychology. She has always loved counseling and psychology, so she knew early on in her career that she wanted to open her own private practice. However, she also realized that she loves teaching and supervising psychology students. She started her own practice, Legacy Mental Health, in Lansing, MI in 2014 and still maintains a case load of clients. Dr. Char is also a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of North Dakota and enjoys teaching full-time. She states, “I'm able to supervise people through UND and supervise people through my practice so it was like right now I feel like this is probably the most satisfying time in my career because I found that niche. I found where I, you know, where my passions are, which are teaching supervision, multicultural work, and that's just it, just feels really good when the work you do brings you joy.” If you are not sure about which area or branch of psychology to focus on, Dr. Char shares practical advice regarding finding your own niche. For example, in addition to reaching out to people who are doing research in the area in which you are interested, Dr. Char also recommends that you “start networking, start connecting with individuals so that you can begin to distinguish between the various areas of psychology and things you can do within the profession.” She also suggests “joining professional networks” and “student-based organizations” through organizations such as the American Psychological Association (APA) and other local and regional associations. She states, “connecting with professionals in the field that can also help you kind of find your niche and also develop yourself as a, you know, as a professional.” Dr. Char also shares how her nickname was “Safe Char” until she took a risk and did private practice and teaching full-time and UND. She discusses some of the challenges in taking this risk and provides advice to those who want to open their own private practice. Dr. Char also discusses the stigma around mental health, especially for African Americans and Black Americans. She states, “when we look at the research, we know that it takes African Americans and Black populations longer to enter into treatment and then once they enter in like their retention rate is much lower than white Americans.” She then shares how people and practitioners can overcome, and even change, this stigma. When asked what she loves most about her job, she responded “One of the things I love most is that I'm able to do stuff that can impact individuals, right, and so being able to like write a book and to know that people have been giving us good feedback…and it's making the impact like that, to me, is the thing I love most.” You can hear more about her new book Black Lives Are Beautiful: 50 Tools to Heal from Trauma and Promote Positive Racial Identity around the 30-minute mark in the podcast interview. Near the end of the podcast discussion, she shares her favorite principle and admits that she loves basketball and LeBron James and says, “I always tell people,

Beyond the Visual, a symposium reflecting on what blindness brings to the experience of art within cultural organisations and beyond was held at Wellcome Collection on Friday and Saturday 21 and 22 October 2022.   Visually impaired and sighted Speakers at the symposium included artists, creative practitioners, disability activists, historians, researchers and scientists together to not only to talk about inclusion and access to the arts for blind and partially sighted people but also to talk about what blind and partially sighted people can bring to cultural experiences for all. RNIB Connect Radio's Toby Davey was there for both days of the symposium catching up with some of the key people behind Beyond the Visual and some of the key speakers too. In the forth of Toby's interviews from the symposium he chats with Collin van Uchelen, a visually impaired Conceptual Artist and Community Psychology consultant based in Vancouver about his presentation, Translating Light Into Non-Visual Forms. Collin gave Toby a bit of background about making fireworks and pyrotechnics accessible to blind and partially sighted people through description and touch following on from a friend who described a firework display to him. Some work with Vocal Eye an audio description organisation based in Canada on ways to describe fireworks, the use of touch to draw out a tactile impression of the shapes that the fireworks make in the sky and the relationship between fireworks and the shapes of flowers. Collin also told Toby about how he was working on choreographing his own pyrotechnic display to the sound of a Yes track.

A note from Talking Taiwan host Felicia Lin:   July is BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) Mental Health Month, which is also known as Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month, named for the mental health advocate who brought awareness to the unique struggles that underrepresented groups face in regard to mental illness in the US.   I've invited Susan Chung on to Talking Taiwan to talk about her career in mental health, and BIPOC Mental Health Month. Susan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker at the University of North Carolina - Chapel Hill, who provides psychotherapy specifically to BIPOC students.

In this episode, I welcome clinical psychologist Michael Martinez. Dr. Michael Martinez is a gay Latinx father of three and psychologist. He earned his Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree with a focus on Community Psychology at the University of La Verne. His graduate program helped him view his clients as a product of their environment and how their environment contributes to their mental health. Michael has dedicated his academic and professional career to work with many types of minority groups (LGBTQ*, Latinx, Asian Americans, African Americans, economically disadvantaged people, and unhoused people). Ultimately, Michael views his clients as their own experts and is dedicated to helping his clients find balance, control and a voice in their everyday lives. Main Topics Discussed: How living in a single-parent household influenced Michael as a parent and partner How to heal your core wounds by simply being present What is your “highest self” and how can you fully live out your potential What is alive for you right now? Right now the major focus for me has been my own healing journey of repairing generational trauma, and also trying to be the best parent partner that I can be and trying to be as present as I can be as well. What does presence look like for you? Presence means that there is not only just joy, but also the willingness to do things like this: have these difficult conversations, as well as the joy that comes with living life and enjoying life that I feel really makes up adulthood. Tell us about your relationship and your family now and how your upbringing has influenced how you are as a parent and a partner. I grew up outside the traditional makeup of a family. My grandma was a primary caregiver. She was there after school cooking, cleaning, doing laundry. I also tend to kind of take up more of the cooking, more of the laundry, more of the cleaning up around the house. Of course not to say that my husband doesn't help out, but I think I tend to kind of take those on a little bit more. Do you have a chosen family who helped you become who you are today? Throughout my college years I had that steadfast group of friends. My best friend who I've known since high school, we always joke that she didn't go to college with me to do classes. She partied with us. She's been an integral part of my life and, for her in particular, I think she's really been there to help me in my coming out process and helping me make sense of my sexuality. I have to give my family credit because I think they really come from the stance of understanding that when you become an adult, you decide who you want to spend your time with. How have you healed your core wounds? Presence. Taking the time to reconnect with my family is a big one. Another was becoming more present in my body and moving and stretching and just doing something, because I think it's so true that trauma is stored in your body. How has your upbringing influenced your work as a clinical psychologist? I always tend to kind of go back to figure out those childhood roots and understand those and to kind of do that inner child work cause that's what's needed. And I think the one thing I got right was understanding that caregivers are the foundation to the rest of relationships for the rest of your life.

Community Psychology is the study of how we are affected and relate to what is occurring in our community. Anxiety, fear and depression can be learned. A community that is struggling can become susceptible to these evolving emotions. Holding onto your own well being when you are standing in the middle of an environment that is struggling can be difficult.Suzi focuses on areas in which we can all bring your "A Game" to help combat what is evolving around us. One of her suggestions is to be situationally aware of what is around you, as well as, being self aware of what is going on within you. Suzi has the honor of working with many within the veteran community and often witnesses the camaraderie and support that is passed from one to the other. She reflects on the belief that a unit has to depend on everybody understanding the value and dependency on one another and that staying calm on the mission was a very important aspect that just had to happen.So bring your "Best Self" to your community.Interested in coming on the show? Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com if you want to be a guest on the Be Crazy Well Podcast. Suzi wants the people, as they say, with "boots on the ground". People who are doing the hard work at home with their families and in relationships, Bring in your wisdom! Bring your struggles!Music credit to Kalvin Love for the podcast's theme song “Bee Your Best Self”Follow us on IG @cominghomwell_bts and @behindtheservicepodcastFacebook at Coming Home Well or Behind The ServiceLinkedIn at Coming Home Wellcominghomewell@gmail.com vetsandplayers.orgwildhorserescue.org

This episode is the second in a two-part series on cumulative racial-ethnic trauma and healing for MENA Americans. In this episode, Amir Maghsoodi sits down again with pioneering Arab/MENA psychologists Drs. Mona Amer, Maryam Kia-Keating, and Germine “Gigi” Awad, to discuss their paper in the American Psychologist titled “A model of cumulative racial-ethnic trauma among Americans of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) descent.” They discuss how the authors' model relates to healing and liberation for MENA Americans and other BIPOC groups. As three of the founding members of AMENA-Psy (American Arab, Middle Eastern & North African Psychological Association), our guests also discuss the formation of the organization and how it relates to the struggle for liberation.

Her scholarship is characterized by three interrelated areas of inquiry: prejudice and discrimination, identity and acculturation, and more recently, body image among women of color. She has also written in the area of multicultural research methodology. The majority of her research is guided by the questions "What factors lead to discrimination against ethnic minorities?" and "What impacts perceptions of experienced discrimination?" The two populations that she has primarily focused on are Arab/Middle Eastern Americans and African Americans. Although overt discrimination towards ethnic minorities has decreased over the years, the practice of more covert, subtle forms of prejudice remains. The events of September 11, 2001, however, reintroduced more explicit forms of prejudice towards Arab/Middle Eastern Americans, and those perceived to be Muslim, complicating the dialogue on discrimination in the United States. Awad is concerned with how prejudicial attitudes and ideology impact attitudes towards ethnic minorities generally and within specific domains such as the workplace and higher education. In addition, she examines how racial/ethnic identity and acculturation impact ethnic minorities' perception of discrimination. Most recently, she has expanded her identity and acculturation research to the study of body image concerns among women of color. Awad received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Psychology from Southern Illinois University Carbondale and  B.S. in Psychology from John Carroll University. Maryam Kia-Keating, Ph.D., (website) (Twitter: @drkiakeating) is a Professor of Clinical Psychology in the UCSB Department of Counseling, Clinical, and School Psychology, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, and founder of Power of Drishti, providing meditations and music for changemakers, first responders, clinicians, frontline workers, activists, and other people on-the-go. She oversees the Trauma & Adversity, Resilience & Prevention (TARP) research program at the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education. After attending Dartmouth College, Harvard University, and Boston University, Dr. Kia-Keating completed her post-doctoral work at the University of California, San Diego, and served as the Clinical Director of a secondary prevention school-based program for adolescents. Dr. Kia-Keating's scholarship is focused on resilience in the context of experiences of trauma, adversity, and toxic stress for diverse communities, including refugees and immigrants from around the globe. She uses participatory and human-centered design approaches, working in partnership with communities to find innovative solutions to complex needs. Her community co-designed HEROES program for parents and children teaches mindfulness, parent-child attunement, and restorative communication to support resilience, and mitigate the negative impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). She was appointed to the American Psychological Association (APA) Task Force on refugees resettled in the United States. Dr. Kia-Keating's research has been funded by the NIH, and her articles have been published in high-impact academic journals. Her research and interviews have been featured in various outlets including The Washington Post, ABC News, Conde Nast Traveler, Self-Magazine, and CNN. She provides consultation on child development, mental health, and authentic representation for childrens' media, and writes for Psychology Today.  Mona M. Amer, Ph.D., (website) is a Professor of clinical and community psychology and founding chair of the Department of Psychology at the American University in Cairo. She co-founded and served as first elected president of the American Arab, Middle Eastern, and North African Psychological Association (AMENA-Psy). Dr. Amer's research and policy interests focus on racial/ethnic disparities in behavioral health, with specializations in the Arab and Muslim minorities. She is interested in how immigration experiences, acculturation stressors, discrimination, and minority status contribute to disparities, and ways to eliminate inequities through culturally competent services, community-based programming, and social policy. Dr. Amer's nearly 50 publications include two articles in the American Psychological Association's flagship journal American Psychologist and the landmark co-edited book Handbook of Arab American Psychology which was awarded the annual nonfiction award by the Arab American National Museum. In 2020 she received the AMENA-Psy Award for Distinguished Contribution to Psychological Scholarship.

Community Psychologist, evaluator, facilitator, and caretaker, Dr. Kim Broomfield-Massey loves her clients and you will love her to. She describes herself as a caretaker. That is not something you hear very often among evaluators.  Like me, Kim wanted to be a clinician, but discovered Community Psychology.  It was a personal decision. The information people share is not just numbers. It reflects the lived experience of community members. As Kim says, "We are giving voice to what people have entrusted to us."Kim seeks first to understand the needs and the culture of the community and organizations she works with. Kim is an expert in maternal and child health and an advocate for breastfeeding moms, especially among black and brown communities.  She shares her work with the Center for Black Women's Wellness and it's a great example of centering the community's voices. This work has led Kim to be a leader with the US Breastfeeding Committee. Kim also has a new project, Stepping Up, that connects people in jail who are in need of mental health treatment. It's an initiative that seeks to change policies around mental health to create a continuum of care.Thanks for listening!
