Descoperă în acest episod fascinant cum experiențele din copilărie modelează sănătatea noastră mentală și fizică pe termen lung. Alături de Adi Dinu, psiholog și trainer în echipa Mind Architect, analizăm efectele traumatice ale experiențelor adverse din copilărie (ACEs) și cum acestea pot fi contrabalansate de experiențele pozitive (PCEs).  Discutăm împreună studii care explorează legătura dintre adversitate și dezvoltarea cerebrală, descoperind cum un mediu de susținere și conectare poate transforma traumele copilăriei în puncte forte ale maturității.  Ne uităm în profunzime la importanța relațiilor sănătoase timpurii și a sprijinului comunitar în construirea rezilienței emoționale, oferind perspective actuale despre ce contează cu adevărat în creșterea și dezvoltarea noilor născuți.

Positive childhood experiences (PCEs) are foundational to a child's healthy development and well-being.  Listen as Dr. Elizabeth Hisle-Gorman and Dr. Binny Chokshi discuss promoting PCEs and how the Healthy Outcomes From Positive Experiences (HOPE) model supports strengthening families.   This podcast is made possible by generous funding from the Ramstein Officers' Spouses' Club.

Virtual Session, Thursday, August 1, 2024 Promoting Positive Childhood Experiences in Military Connected Children and Youth Promoting healthy child development necessitates a focus on positive childhood experiences (PCEs).  Though military life can provide children with a bounty of resources and opportunities, military children also routinely experiences the stressors associated with military life, such as parental separation and frequent moves.  Promoting PCEs in military children can help to buffer the impact of the unique challenges for military connected children and adolescents and can support their academic and future success.  This interactive workshop will first review the connection between adversity, positivity, and wellbeing, then discuss the four building blocks of the Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) model, and conclude with an opportunity for participants to discuss PCEs as they relate to military children, including a discussion of relevant community and advocacy organizations, whose programs promote PCEs in military children and adolescents. https://www.militarychild.org/event/gts/gts-register/   Healthy Outcomes From Positive Experiences (HOPE) https://positiveexperience.org/   Hidden Heroes- Elizabeth Dole Foundation https://hiddenheroes.org/   Operation Purple Camp- National Military Family Association https://www.militaryfamily.org/programs/operation-purple/operation-purple-camp/   The Military Child Well-being Toolkit https://www.militarychild.org/resource/wellbeing-toolkit/   Military OneSource https://www.militaryonesource.mil/non-medical-counseling/   Bio: Dr. Hisle-Gorman is Director of the Military Family Research Division and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics. She began her career as a social worker working in neighborhood development efforts in Washington, DC to support and strengthen families to prevent family violence and overcome hardship. However, a move to a military town with her active-duty military spouse, re-focused her on work with military families. She served as a Child Protective Services officer in Onslow County, North Carolina and worked extensively with military families. After completing her Ph.D. in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Hisle-Gorman taught and worked in community development and was the senior author on one of the first articles to document the clinical effects of military deployment on children. She subsequently moved to USUHS to expand its research portfolio exploring the effects of military life on children. Her research interests are focused the impact of past military deployment on military children, effects of parental injury and family violence on pediatric health and mental health, and healthcare usage trends in military pediatrics. However, she has also worked on projects examining autism in children, indicators of immunization completion, neonatal health, care for transgender individuals, healthcare disparities, and the effects of medications on children. Dr. Hisle-Gorman has significant experience working with the Military Health System Data Repository and conducting retrospective research studies about military-connected children using the MDR. Dr. Hisle-Gorman most enjoys mentoring medical students, residents, and junior faculty on research projects, and teaching them the research process on an individual basis.   Dr. Binny Chokshi is a general pediatrician, with a focus on adolescents and young adults. Dr. Chokshi's research and education interests are focused on understanding the impact of early life stressors on health across the life course. To mitigate the effects of trauma and stress on children, Dr. Chokshi advocates for a trauma-informed approach to healthcare. She has developed web-based e-modules to train outpatient pediatricians in responding to childhood adversity with a trauma-informed care approach and has also trained medical students and residents at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In a prior role at Children's National Hospital, she also worked with hospital leadership to develop hospital wide trauma-informed practices. In her current role at USUHS, Dr. Chokshi examines how military specific factors may impact child and and family health, with a current focus on how social determinants of health such as food security impact military child health.  Dr. Chokshi is also passionate on promoting positive childhood experiences, to foster healthy development in children and counter the impacts of stressful experiences.  Dr. Chokshi has a vested interest in medical education and completed Masters in Education at the George Washington University School of Education and Human Development. On a national level, Dr. Chokshi serves on the Expert Leadership Team for the American Academy of Pediatrics project “Building Capacity for Trauma-Informed Pediatric Care”. 

In this episode, we discuss pelvic health from a different lens.  Many individuals experience fears and worries related to pelvic health issues, such as anxiety about pain, embarrassment about discussing symptoms, concerns about sexual dysfunction, and fears of invasive treatments or surgeries. The mental health aspects of pelvic health issues are frequently overlooked. The stigma and embarrassment associated with these conditions can prevent individuals from seeking the help they need, further impacting their mental health. Increasing awareness and normalizing conversations about pelvic health and its connection to emotional well-being is essential in addressing this gap and providing comprehensive care.In this episode, Dr. Carlin and I dive more into the part of pelvic health that is not talked about and that is the emotional and mental health piece.

Long-time health, science and technology journalist Jane Stevens joins PACEs Connection CEO Ingrid Cockhren to do a deep dive into why people aren't getting an accurate picture about violence in their communities. In fact, the state of violence reporting boils down to this: the news media is unintentionally providing misinformation about violence. Remarkably, the basics of crime reporting haven't changed much since the late 1890s. Essentially, it's the man-bites-dog approach: the unusual, not the normal. Case in point: Although domestic violence causes comprises most aggravated assault and causes the most damage to communities in the U.S. economically and emotionally, it's hardly reported. Yet, in many communities, up to one-third of the operating budget goes to dealing with domestic violence and its consequences. The irony is that although change is journalism's bread and butter, getting the journalism community to modernize is like moving a mountain with a spoon and a bucket. We discuss how the news media can jettison their old ways by integrating knowledge of the science of positive and adverse childhood experiences and, in the process, provide an accurate picture of violence in their communities, reduce and prevent violence, help reduce systemic racism and its effects, and significantly increase their readership.

Through OT Potential, we've released over 70 episodes all exploring new influential OT research. As we enter 2024, it's time to reflect on the research and ask: What trends are we seeing in OT? How is new research enriching how we think about our practice? In this 1 hour-episode, we'll talk about new trends, with a particular focus on what commonalities we see leaders in our field doing in their occupational therapy process. We'll culminate our discussion by exploring how people describe OT. This will be informed by our OT practice framework, but with a special focus on how we communicate about OT to the public. For this exploration, we'll welcome back to the podcast two of our podcast hosts from 2024, Carlin Reaume OTD, OTR/L, DipACLM, PMH-C, PCES and Ryan Lavalley PhD, OTR/L. Together we'll unpack what all of these trends mean for your OT practice.

If you're tired of the top-down approach or hierarchical model of delivering care and want to embrace more of a biopsychosocial model into your practice, this is a great episode for you! Erin interviews Kathleen Olsen, PT, MS, PCES, a physical therapist with over 17 years of experience treating pelvic health, neurologic and orthopedic conditions. In 2018, she became certified as a women's health coach from the Integrative Women's Health Institute. She's also a certified pregnancy and postpartum exercise specialist. In this episode we discuss what it looks like to approach your treatment and plan of care collaboratively with your patients and clients by incorporating principles learned in health coaching. This can look like asking questions regarding the pillars of health in the initial assessment (and what those are). Asking readiness for change questions like, “Do you want to take action on any of these areas now? Do you need resources or support to do that?” And “What would wellness look like for you? What would living well look like for you?” in order to develop a better understanding of the goals. Inviting your patients to reflect on what they really want and all the aspects of their life can help them transform in ways you'd never be able to just tell them to do. Another helpful way to motivate and educate patients is with the use of technology like self tracking devices. For example, the Oura ring, Whoop band, Garmin, Apple watch, Fitbit, etc. Among simple tracking like steps and HR, a person can do cycle tracking, sleep tracking, or HR variability tracking to see if they are recovering well.  Website: https://northcountyinhomept.com/ IG:  @kathleenolsenpt https://ouraring.com/product/rings/horizon https://www.whoop.com/us/en/

In response to the surge of new listeners, we want to highlight our first episode. Long-time health, science and technology journalist, and founder of PACEs Connection, Jane Stevens joins PACEs Connection's CEO Ingrid Cockhren to do a deep dive into why people aren't getting an accurate picture about violence in their communities. In fact, the state of violence reporting boils down to this: the news media is unintentionally providing misinformation about violence. Remarkably, the basics of crime reporting haven't changed much since the late 1890s. Essentially, it's the man-bites-dog approach: the unusual, not the normal. Case in point: Although domestic violence causes comprises most aggravated assault and causes the most damage to communities in the U.S. economically and emotionally, it's hardly reported. Yet, in many communities, up to one-third of the operating budget goes to dealing with domestic violence and its consequences. The irony is that although change is journalism's bread and butter, getting the journalism community to modernize is like moving a mountain with a spoon and a bucket. We discuss how the news media can jettison their old ways by integrating knowledge of the science of positive and adverse childhood experiences and, in the process, provide an accurate picture of violence in their communities, reduce and prevent violence, help reduce systemic racism and its effects, and significantly increase their readership.
