Statistics say 1 in 5 individuals are suffering from a mental illness or mental health episode right now.” Brad Anderson, CEO of TechBridge, a Salt Lake City IT staffing company, and Bobby Glen James, Author, Speaker, and founder of BoTecha IT Support discuss mental health in the workplace as well as the role and responsibility that both employer and employee need to play in maintaining strong mental health.

College football is back baby! I love it. Part of waking up on a Saturday morning and getting to see college game day on TV it gets me so amped. Brings me back to days where Joe Mac and I were getting things rolling as kids. What's your thought on college football? Same three teams every year, same three are gonna keep winning. Something about college football Saturdays man. I am not the biggest football fan but it is nice having games on TV on the weekends and midweek, it fires me up! Hawaii did not win the Little League World Series, like I had said. Michigan did end up winning but I am interested in your take on how the bracket played out. Come on man you gotta give the kids a game three for the ship! Slumps happen to everyone on this week's zen but what do you do for that guys that are in a slump. What is a way to work themselves out of a slump or a way to flip the mindset? Take a step back. Generally the slumps happen because we keep thinking about all the bad things that have happened and could happen. Rather than thinkin about what could happen, let's think about the opportunity in front of us about I get to hit.

Earlier this year the British Psychological Society expelled its President Elect Professor Nigel MacClennan who had been elected on a reformist platform. This brought to the surface serious issues about governance, integrity and the vindictiveness of organisations who feel under attack. The BPS is not the first organisation to experience such issues. Here two hugely experienced psychologists talk about why they are so concerned about the state of the BPS and what they would like to see happen. Pat Harvey (Guinan) has been a British Psychological Society member for around 50 years. She was Chair of the Division of Clinical Psychology 1997-8. She developed and managed a large NHS Psychology and Counselling service in the North West. Additionally she was member of the Mental Health Act Commission and a panel member of an Independent Inquiry into 3 homicides by a conditionally discharged patient. In those latter contexts as well as her managerial NHS role she had considerable experience of handling formal complaints in organisational contexts. She retired as a psychologist in 2002 and trained and practice as an artist before re-engaging in issues concerning complaints regarding the governance and policies of the British Psychological Society in 2020.   David Pilgrim PhD is Honorary Professor of Health and Social Policy at the University of Liverpool and Visiting Professor of Clinical Psychology at the University of Southampton. Now semi-retired, he trained and worked in the NHS as a clinical psychologist before completing a PhD in psychology and then a Masters in sociology. With this mixed background, his career was split then between clinical work, teaching and mental health policy research. He remains active in the Division of Clinical Psychology and the History and Philosophy Section of the British Psychological Society, and was Chair of the latter between 2015 and 2018.   His publications include Understanding Mental Health: A Critical Realist Exploration (Routledge, 2015) and Key Concepts in Mental Health (5th edition, Sage, 2019). Others include A Sociology of Mental Health and Illness (Open University Press, 2005- winner of the 2006 BMA Medical Book of the Year Award), Mental Health Policy in Britain (Palgrave, 2002) and Mental Health and Inequality (Palgrave, 2003) (all with Anne Rogers).  His recent books are Child Sexual Abuse: Moral Panic or State of Denial? (Routledge, 2018) and Critical Realism for Psychologists (Routledge, 2020).   

Inseparable focuses on policies to reduce the treatment gap in mental health, putting comprehensive school mental health systems in place, and stopping the criminalization of mental illness. Policy work on these takes place at the federal, state, and local levels, and philanthropy can make an important difference.

Discussion on why policy is important in reforming mental health care and what reforms are needed.

‘Mental health in the community’ is a series of six podcasts brought to you by the Mental Health Foundation and the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust. What is this series about? From 2016 to 2019 the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust ran the Mental Health Fellowships programme, funding individuals to travel abroad to learn more about how community-based solutions are being created to respond to some of today’s most pressing mental health challenges. The Mental Health Foundation was the expert partner in this programme, helping to shape its aims, select the successful candidates and provide mentoring to the successful Fellows. In total, 59 Churchill Fellows were chosen to investigate best practice in 18 countries and bring back new evidence and ideas to create positive change in their profession, practice and communities in the UK. This series of podcasts distils the key findings from this rich body of learning, and makes recommendations for policy and practice in the UK. Each episode focuses on an aspect of the Mental Health Fellowships’ overarching theme ‘community-based solutions’. There are also corresponding briefings for each of the categories below, available at www.mentalhealth.org.uk or www.wcmt.org.uk.

Courtney Herron is the latest woman murdered because our mental health and court system is failing. It's time we had a serious conversation about how we treat the mentally ill who are unable to live in society. There are too many victims. We can't ignore this issue any longer.

This month, we'd like to welcome and thank special guests Dr Jill Sheppard and Martyn Pearce from Policy Forum Pod for joining our semi-themed panel discussion, inspired by the upcoming Australian Federal Election. Jill [1:16] starts us off with a very topical issue right now in Australia – voting for the upcoming Federal Election. Jill tells us that “in Australian politics and the study of Australian politics, we're really interested in this idea of election day as a ritual”. In Australia, most of the polling booths are set up in local school halls and it's common for schools to take the opportunity to fire up a BBQ, sell baked goods and raise money for the school. This is where the term ‘democracy sausage' has come from, as it is customary to buy a sausage on bread after voting and engage in community activities. Given that around half of the voters will be voting at pre-poll booths, Jill poses the question: is that going to change something about the ritual nature of Australian elections and what are we going to lose from that? “What happens when we lose the community spirit?” Martyn [7:00] moves our conversation onto the meaning behind belonging to a social group. Quite the football enthusiast, Martyn shares that being a Crystal Palace fan, for him, doesn't mean he just likes the team, but that identifies strongly as being a ‘Crystal Palace fan' and encompasses the group values that it entails. He asks us what happens when the values of a group you belong to change? Jill reflects on the Essendon football club after their drug scandal where she previously had been a huge fan and describes her disenfranchisement as being “worse than death”. Simon offers that the embodiment of certain values relates to the degree of social solidarity you have with an institution, suggesting that when you don't identify strongly as a fan (or voter of a particular Party) then you are less likely to embody the values that come with that fan identity. Next, Julia [12:40] turns our attention to Australia's dismal mental health care system, after a conversation she had with Dr Sebastian Rosenburg about accountability and the public focus on 'who pays for it' rather than 'what is an effective treatment'. Jill questions what is good ‘value for money' and what seems “easy” and “hard” when making government policies and how that impacts on the choices on spending. Martyn asks about BIG numbers and BIG announcements - the chance for publicity - and how that impacts government choices? Maybe this is a bigger social question: How much do we trust the government, the choices they make surrounding funding and how much do we ‘nit-pick' over these choices? Simon [19:00] concludes our discussion by asking whether anthropologists have any role to play in diplomacy? Julia answers that “I would like to think there is, but I'm not sure that…the Australian government system is ready for it. Because I think there is a role for being able to have diplomatic conversations that are a little more flexible and acknowledge the shortcomings of one's home government, but I don't think that's something that's really accepted yet.” Jill thinks about diplomats who travel overseas with specific views, and what effect introducing nuance and criticism would have: “what does the anthro-diplomat talk about when he shows up to the dinner party?” LINKS & CITATIONS are on our website https://thefamiliarstrange.com/ You can find Policy Forum Pod anywhere good podcasts are streamed!

In 2017 there were over 47,000 opioid-linked deaths in the United States – a six percent increase from 2016, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Massachusetts is now suing Purdue Pharma, maker of Oxycontin, and members of the Sackler family, one of the wealthiest families in America and owners of Purdue Pharma. The suit alleges the Sacklers made billions of dollars as their company pushed doctors to prescribe the pain killer, assuring the drug had a low risk of misuse, even though they knew it was highly addictive. Purdue is also accused of failing to report doctors who were overprescribing the drug. The company is facing hundreds of different suits by state and local governments across the country. Host Dan Loney is joined by Rob Field, Professor of Law and Professor of Health Management and Policy at Drexel University and a lecturer in the Health Care Management Department of the Wharton school, and Keith Humphreys, Professor and Section Director for Mental Health Policy at Stanford University and Senior Research Career Scientist at the VA Health Services Research Center, to discuss these allegations and more on the opioid epidemic on Knowledge@Wharton.

''It is perhaps the greatest allure of a digital nomad lifestyle. Leaving behind the 9 to 5 for the idyllic, sun-drenched flexibility of remote work seems like the dream. And it's becoming increasingly popular and legitimate with hundreds of people turning to remote work each year. Studies have shown us why remote work is a smart choice for both companies and workers alike. Reports show that remote workers are less stressed, more productive and even cost-saving. I myself was one of the statistics, allured by the ability to completely turn around my work-life balance and finally put my work first. More importantly, it allowed me to finally put myself first and commit to my mental health. It was the first time that I had given myself the time and space to take care of myself and rediscover my purpose. Amidst all these benefits, it's hard to remember that digital nomads can have anything to complain about.'' -Tiff Ng   Read More: www.morningmarjolaine.com Social: @morningmarjolaine Article by Tiff NG @anytiffng

Join Dr. Blye Frank, Dean of UBC's Faculty of Education for his inaugural FRANKLY SPEAKING event, featuring Professor Santa J. Ono, President & Vice-Chancellor, UBC; Dr. Stan Kutcher, Sun Life Financial Chair in Adolescent Mental Health, and Director, World Health Organization Collaborating Center in Mental Health Policy and Training; and Jessica La Rochelle, BA'06, Assistant Director, NITEP and Leader, NITEP Mental Health and Wellness Program. In the spirit of ideas worth advancing, the theme will be Mental Health Literacy. One in five Canadians will experience a mental health illness in their lifetime and mental health issues affect up to half the total student population at many universities. Mental health literacy encompasses the knowledge, beliefs and abilities that enable the recognition, management or prevention of mental health problems with a range of benefits including early recognition and intervention, and reduction of stigma associated with mental illness.

Mental illnesses are extremely common—one in four Americans will experience one in their lifetime—yet advances in treatment and understanding of mental illnesses have not changed public perception of these disorders. Many people incorrectly believe mental illnesses cannot be treated or that a person with a mental illness is more likely to be violent. Noted mental health and anti-stigma experts Dr. Patrick Corrigan, Dr. Ben Druss, and Charles Willis address these and other misconceptions that are the most harmful to efforts to improve access to mental health care and fight discrimination against people with mental illness. The discussion is facilitated by the Center's Mental Health Program Director Dr. Thom Bornemann. 4/16/2009
