Podcasts about covid surge

Mental, emotional, and spiritual healing requires more than clinical technique—it demands sacrificial empathy, institutional trust, and a profound affirmation of the image of God in every human being. In this episode, clinical psychologist and Pine Rest CEO Mark Eastburg joins Mark Labberton to discuss the rising need for mental health care—especially for children, adolescents, and those recovering from severe trauma. Eastburg offers insights about the post-pandemic mental health landscape; psychological and emotional resilience; trauma-informed therapy; deep listening; and the theological, moral, and social commitments that drive Eastburg's approach to mental and spiritual health. They also discuss the systemic injustice underlying many mental health disparities, inviting us to see mental health care as a vital form of justice work rooted in compassion, dignity, and Christian witness. Episode Highlights “We're in the healing moments business. That's what we do … and I think those healing moments are the building blocks of the kingdom of God—just like atoms are the building blocks of the material world.” “We're in the healing moments business. … Those healing moments are the building blocks of the kingdom of God.” “Mental health work is justice work … especially when we're helping people who've been victims of injustice get back into community.” “If you just react to people's symptoms, you'll get more symptoms. But if you can see the beautiful human being underneath, you'll see more of that.” “A Christian approach to therapy starts with the belief that every person is made in the image of God—and they are someone's favourite brother or sister.” “Jesus's care for the outsider, for the downtrodden, the excluded—that has to define what we mean when we say we express the healing ministry of Christ.” About Mark Eastburg Mark Eastburg, PhD, is president and chief executive officer of Pine Rest Christian Mental Health Services, one of the five largest free-standing behavioural health organizations in the United States. With a doctorate in clinical psychology from Fuller Theological Seminary, Eastburg has served in both clinical and leadership roles at Pine Rest for over three decades. He is a passionate advocate for trauma-informed care, access to mental health services, and a faith-integrated approach to healing grounded in human dignity and Christian compassion.

But if you could look past the symptoms and see what he liked to call ‘the beautiful human being underneath everybody,' anyone that you interact with, you'll see more of that.” Sacrificial empathy Working toward healing moments—the building blocks for the kingdom of God Christian psychotherapy: “the ability to look at people as made in God's image.” Mental illness is another form of marginalization and exclusion “People are more than a set of symptoms to be treated.” Managing a crisis versus seeing a person How Pine Rest approaches mental health care Pine Rest's new $100 million pediatric behavioural health center in Michigan “Instead of waiting months for care, kids can just walk in and we'll sort it out.” New specialty clinics for autism, depression, eating disorders, and anxiety The universality of how mental health touches our lives Who sustains mental health care financially?

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. India's Growth Engine Still Roaring, Says RBI The Reserve Bank of India's annual report is cautiously optimistic. It warns of global headwinds—rising input costs, protectionist trade policies, and tariff risks—but says India remains the fastest-growing major economy. Domestic demand, strong exports, and a thriving farm sector powered momentum in FY25. Inflation eased to a six-year low of 3.16% in April, raising expectations of a 25 bps repo rate cut in June. Forex reserves are healthy, fiscal discipline is holding, and public capex continues to drive growth. On the radar: stress tests, cyber risk reviews, and climate risk evaluations for banks and NBFCs. A record ₹2.69 trillion surplus transfer to the Centre also boosted RBI's balance sheet credibility. Bottom line? Global chaos may persist, but India's economic engine looks well-fueled and storm-ready. Covid Creeps Back, But Experts Say: Stay Alert, Not Alarmed With new Covid variants NB.1.8.1 and LF.7 emerging, and over 1,000 active cases reported across cities like Delhi and Bengaluru, India is reactivating its Covid response. A high-level panel is reviewing vaccine stocks, testing readiness, and hospital capacity. Experts say the virus is currently mild. Hybrid immunity—vaccine plus natural infection—is widespread, and booster doses aren't necessary for most. But vaccine makers are being urged to update formulations in case a new, more dangerous variant emerges. Dr. Soumya Swaminathan and other health leaders advise vigilance over panic. WHO hasn't flagged the variants as serious threats. For now, the focus is on monitoring—not mass vaccinations. India, US Sprint to Seal Trade Deal Before Tariff Clock Expires India and the US are racing to close a long-pending bilateral trade pact before a crucial 8 July deadline, when Trump-era reciprocal tariffs could make a comeback. American negotiators arrive in Delhi next week for what could be the final round. India's chief negotiator Rajesh Agarwal said this deal is a strategic play—not just about tariff relief. It covers agriculture, autos, digital trade, and market access, with potential to reframe global supply chains. Even though a US court recently ruled Trump's baseline tariffs illegal, India is pressing on, seeing the agreement as key to long-term trade stability and its $30 trillion economic ambition by 2047. Sebi Tightens the Screws on F&O Market Risk Come 1 July, Sebi is rolling out sweeping reforms in the equity derivatives market. The big change? A smarter, risk-sensitive metric called delta-adjusted open interest. This will offer a clearer view of traders' exposure based on price movements of underlying assets. Limits are being introduced—₹1,500 crore net exposure and ₹10,000 crore gross—for index options. For single-stock derivatives, Sebi is tying position limits to cash market liquidity starting October. Retail traders lost ₹1.89 trillion in F&O bets between FY22 and FY24, prompting Sebi to act. With earlier steps like raising lot sizes and capping weekly expiries already in motion, the message is clear: the F&O free-for-all is ending. Trade smart—or step aside. Trump's Tariffs Get Court Stay—For Now Donald Trump's controversial “Liberation Day” tariffs live to see another day. A federal appeals court has temporarily allowed the former US president to keep imposing broad-based tariffs under emergency powers, despite a lower court ruling that declared them illegal. The court cited national security concerns, giving the Trump team more time to fight the legal challenge. Critics argue the tariffs were arbitrary, hurting global trade and spooking markets. White House adviser Peter Navarro insists the administration will push on—via courts or alternative methods. “It's not over,” he said. “We have other tools.” Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Korea Pro Podcast, co-hosts Jeongmin and John begin by discussing the Bank of Korea's decision to maintain its interest rate for the 13th consecutive time, the longest streak to date, amid record-high household debt of $1.4 trillion. The hosts explore the paradox of increasing real estate investments despite personal debt levels, touching on practices like gap investment and the misuse of the government's housing lottery system. The conversation then shifts to the resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the country, noting that even prominent figures like main opposition Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung have been affected. Jeongmin and John analyze the government's response, including the expectation of a peak by month's end and the challenges posed by a shortage of treatment drugs. They discuss the focus on treating vulnerable populations in the absence of previous pandemic mandates. Lastly, the hosts delve into the changing hiring practices of South Korean conglomerates in response to the country's aging population. They examine the shift from traditional mass exam-style open recruitment to hiring older, more experienced workers, and consider the implications for costs and innovation, especially in high-tech companies. Looking ahead, Jeongmin and John preview several upcoming events, including a potential visit by Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to South Korea in September, the National Assembly plenary session focusing on non-controversial public welfare issues, the postponement of Lee Jae-myung's meeting with Han Dong-hoon, and the continuation of the Ulchi Freedom Shield military exercise.
