The Department of Basic Education has unveiled a teen suicide awareness campaign, designed to empower young people with essential skills to navigate mental health challenges. Timed to coincide with Teen Suicide Prevention Week, this initiative follows alarming National Department of Health statistics, which indicate that 7,426 minors attempted to take their own lives between April and December last year. The campaign will feature daily online webinars, hosted by the South African Depression and Anxiety Group (Sadag), and streamed across multiple social media platforms, including Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and Zoom. To discuss this critical initiative, Elvis Presslin spoke to Sibongile Monareng, Director for Psychosocial Support at the Department of Basic Education

(Conversation recorded on December 18th, 2024)     With the increase in geopolitical conflicts, supply chain challenges, and unprecedented natural disasters, there is more need than ever for international humanitarian organizations that transcend political and national allegiances. How will such organizations grow and evolve to become a central component to humanity's adaptation to the coming Great Simplification?  In this episode, Nate is joined by European Regional Director for The Red Cross, Birgitte Bischoff, to discuss her vision for the future of humanitarian work and the challenges and opportunities for more proactive and prepared planning. Together, they discuss the critical importance of individual volunteers and the integration of a systems thinking approach at The Red Cross.  How will diplomacy and an emphasis on social responsibility help us navigate the growing international pressures from rising migration and resource constraints? In what ways can scenario planning improve our responses to the multitude of converging crises, as well as foster resilience? Most of all, in an unknown future of potentially existential challenges, what can we do to be prepared and respond with empathy and tolerance?    About Birgitte Bischoff: Birgitte Bischoff Ebbesen is the International Federation of the Red Cross Regional Director for Europe, covering 53 Red Cross Red Crescent National Societies in Europe and Central Asia.

In this podcast episode, we talk to Liz Muenks, a licensed psychologist and director of the Onco-Psychology Program at the University of Kansas Cancer Center. We discuss the psychosocial and emotional challenges faced by patients undergoing CAR T-cell therapy, a groundbreaking treatment for cancer, and how these experiences affect both patients and caregivers.Liz explains that patients typically enter CAR T-cell therapy after exhausting other treatment options, which leads to a heavy emotional burden. Many patients feel like they've "failed" previous treatments, a term that Liz finds problematic but acknowledges is often used. The pre-treatment phase is already filled with anxiety, depression, and fear. While some patients approach CAR T with hope and optimism, others carry a deep skepticism based on their past experiences. Liz notes that there are optimists, pessimists, and realists among patients, each bringing a different mindset to this journey.Liz highlights the societal pressure on cancer patients to maintain a positive attitude, which can add stress. She dispels the myth that a positive mindset is required to beat cancer, emphasizing that embracing all emotions, including fear and worry, is crucial to managing the cancer journey. While uncontrolled anxiety or depression can negatively impact outcomes, Liz reassures that patients can still succeed in their treatment even with emotional ups and downs.The conversation also touches on the unique side effects of CAR T-cell therapy, which differs from traditional treatments like bone marrow and stem cell transplants. While patients often feel relieved that the chemotherapy before CAR T is less intense, they are faced with neurological risks and the potential for serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome. However, these severe side effects affect a minority of patients.Caregivers, Liz stresses, play a vital role, especially as CAR T is increasingly being done on an outpatient basis. She advises caregivers to lean on their medical teams for support and never hesitate to ask questions. Caregivers often feel immense pressure, but Liz encourages them to recognize that they are not alone in this journey. Support networks include therapy groups, on line resources such as nbmtLINK.org (and many others) and on-call specialists , all available, offering caregivers support in sharing their burdens and finding reputable resources and guidance.Finally, Liz discusses the psychological challenges that linger after CAR T-cell therapy, especially the anxiety of cancer recurrence. Many patients struggle to move forward, constantly worrying about how much time they have before the disease returns. While some can compartmentalize these fears, others need ongoing psychological support. Liz also shares stories of patients who were initially hesitant about CAR T due to difficult past treatments but later experienced positive outcomes, reflecting the progress being made in this groundbreaking cancer therapy.This season is made possible thanks to our sponsors:Kite, a Gilead company: http://www.kitepharma.com/and Bristol Myers Squibb's CAR T support services program:https://www.celltherapy360.com/ Follow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/Or visit our website at https://www.nbmtlink.org/

Advancements in treatment combined with a multimodal approach are improving outcomes for patients with head and neck cancer.

If we can tap into what is essential for them to be happy in life, [we can] try to problem solve and build skills in them so that they can counter some of the issues that they'll experience because of their treatment.”–Jacquelyn Doenges, LCSW, MSSW, CTTS   “What we want is the patients at the center, and we want to build out a team around them so that they have as much support as possible, and that the energy is coming into the patient versus the patient trying to find these things [psychosocial care, dieticians, speech and language pathologists, oncology social workers].” –Linda Hutkin-Slade, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C   Guests:             Jacquelyn Doenges, LCSW, OSW-C, CTTS  Clinical Oncology Social Worker, Head and Neck Surgery  UT Southwestern Medical Center—Harold C.

When you first enter the medical world as a caregiver, everyone around you hits the ground running. The nurses and doctors know exactly how to get started, and yet, you might be left feeling overwhelmed and powerless.  This is what makes social workers so important: they support the family holistically, encourage communication, help bridge information gaps, and empower you to become an important member of your child's medical team.

In our conversation, they're sharing their best advice on communicating with your medical team, building relationships with nurses, and participating in your child's care so that you can feel more comfortable and better informed on the next steps in your journey. Key Takeaways with Henry Rosh & Megan Keeler The impact of social workers on medical journeys How they make hospitals less intimidating for families  What is Psychosocial Support? Encouraging communication with medical providers  The role of families in the medical team  What to expect from bedside nurses, providers, & physicians Getting involved in your child's care both in-person & remotely Having confidence to challenge & question medical plans Building a two-way relationship with nurses Show Notes: Get Full Access to the Show Notes by visiting: MatteasJoy.org/81.

Any listed resources are not intended to be endorsements.**Ailey Armstrong, MSW, LICSW is a licensed clinical oncology social worker at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center in Seattle. Today, she shares her insights on transitioning home post-transplant. She emphasizes the importance of continued caregiving support and suggests patients assess their needs in various aspects like medication management, meals, and transportation. Ailey advises making a list of needs and identifying which can be managed independently and which require external support, like arranging rides to medical appointments.Ailey highlights the role of social workers and patient navigators in providing resources and support, including financial assistance and help in returning to work. She also encourages tapping into a broader network beyond the core caregiver team, involving neighbors, church members, and extended family for support.On the emotional side, it's normal to feel a range of emotions from relief to anxiety and fear. The transition brings concerns about managing without the transplant team, handling post-transplant symptoms, and adapting to home life. She addresses the feelings of frustration, anger, and grief that stem from changes in lifestyle and identity post-transplant.To manage these emotions, Ailey recommends acknowledging and processing them rather than avoiding them. She suggests practical strategies like using lists, calendars, and apps to manage medications and appointments. Emphasizing the importance of staying present, she introduces the "dropping anchor" exercise to ground oneself in the present, focusing on immediate sensations and surroundings.Ailey stresses the importance of open communication with medical teams post-discharge, ensuring patients have all necessary contact information. She discusses the normality of mixed emotions upon returning home and the need for time to readjust to family dynamics and home responsibilities.Delving deeper into psychosocial support, Ailey advises discussing mood and sleep changes with medical providers, as these are treatable. She emphasizes the significance of self-compassion and kindness, urging patients to treat themselves as they would a dear friend. Additionally, she suggests having structured daily routines incorporating essential activities and enjoyable tasks to provide a sense of normalcy and control.In conclusion, Ailey underscores that difficult days are inevitable and recommends focusing on wellness. She advises preparing a list of activities and thoughts that induce calmness. Her final message emphasizes self-compassion, encouraging patients to treat themselves with the same kindness and patience they would offer to a loved one.More:Medisafe App for prescription management: https://www.medisafe.com/National Suicide and Crisis Hotline: 988 (three digit phone number)Book: It's OK That You're Not OK, by Megan Devine on Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/Its-OK-That-Youre-Not-OK-audiobook/dp/B075QP5SGH/Book: When Life Hits Hard, by Russ Harris: https://www.amazon.com/When-Life-Hits-Hard-Acceptance/dp/1684039010Book: The Cancer Companion: How to Navigate Your Way from Diagnosis to Treatment and Beyond, by Dr. Toni Lindsay (Parts 2 and 4 in particular): https://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Companion-Navigate-Diagnosis-Treatment/dp/0369366956Other ResourcesNational Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to our sponsors.

"The gift of the [traditional] healer that he shares with those of us who do psychoanalytic work is that we are given an idea of the human mind as being always in a process of mediating the real world and the drives of sex and aggression - which if not moderated can lead to terrible things. We're in there, and that's what our training helps us to do.”    Episode Description: We begin with Martha describing her social work background and how it informed her approach to working with overwhelmed children in New York. She recounts her efforts in El Salvador and her understanding that children who were violent were actually children who were over-exposed to violence. She also functioned as one who accompanied those clinicians who themselves were at risk of being overwhelmed by the violence in their work. We take up her engagement in Angola and their cultural model of the individual as "the self that exists for the purpose of social participation." We consider the case of a child soldier who was treated by traditional healers for multiple symptoms related to his involvement in atrocities. We note the similarity with Bion's Knowing and Love as it is lived between the individual, the healer and the community. We close with recognizing the importance of the 'moral third' and the centrality of reparation in both African and American cultures.   Our Guest: Martha Bragin, Ph.D., is jointly appointed Professor at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College and the Ph.D. Program in Social Welfare at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. She joined the faculty after 30 years of experience supporting United Nations agencies, governments, nongovernmental and people's organizations to address the effects of violence and disaster on children, youth, families, and the communities in which we live. Dr Bragin is a Fellow of the Research Training Program of the IPA and the editorial board of the International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies. She serves as a member of Inter-Agency Standing Committee (UN-IFRC-NGO) Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, a globally representative body that sets and monitors standards for psychosocial interventions in emergencies. Dr Bragin is recipient of the International Psychoanalytic Association's Tyson Prize as well as the Hayman Prize for published work on traumatized children and adults in 2011 and 2021.

In this episode, Jennifer talks to Alesha Cid-Vega, who shares her journey as an international student coming to the US to pursue theater which ultimately led her to explore the intersection of psychology and the arts. They explore her current research in mental health and wellness that focuses on building systems of care and promoting accessibility in the arts community. They emphasize the importance of a collaborative approach, training non-specialist providers, and creating a culture of care with the goal of strengthening support systems to make mental health accessibility a priority for artists through task-sharing models and developing strategies for daily life. About Alesha: Alesha is a current graduate Psychology student at The New School for Social Research in the Trauma & Global Mental Health Lab. Born and raised in Spain, she moved to the U.S. to pursue a career in musical theatre. After the twists and bends of navigating the performing arts conservatory system and its barriers for international and low/middle-income students, she enrolled in the Entertainment Management program at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management in the University of Central Florida, aiming to make a change toward equity in the arts industry. As the Covid-19 pandemic hit, with the heart of an artist and a deep growing concern for global and mental health, she transferred to Sarah Lawrece College where she earned a Bachelor of Arts concentrating in Performing Arts and Public Health. Alesha is currently developing projects to design and implement accessible mental health programs tailored for performing artists, through community models. Before joining The New School, she worked in direct services with refugees and asylum seekers with HIAS New York and has served as a Spanish translator and interpreter for community-based immigration organizations. More recently, she completed a Mental Health and Psychosocial Support fellowship with the International Rescue Committee's Technical Advising Health Unit. Beyond her current work, her evolving lists of interests include meaning-making and resilience, lessons from Eastern and indigenous healing, the singing voice, sensory sensitivity, poetry, storytelling, and the revolutionary practice of slowing down.  Alesha's IG: @aleshacidvega Alesha's email: cidva377@newschool.edu Alesha's Website: https://www.acidvega.com/connect Alesha's Resources List: Trauma and Global Mental Health Lab at The New School: https://nssrglobalmentalhealth.com/ Lifenet hotlines brochure (different languages): https://www.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/dmh/dmh-lifenet-brochure.pdf NYC Well: https://nycwell.cityofnewyork.us/en/ Safran Center for Psychological Services: https://www.newschool.edu/nssr/centers-special-programs/safran-center-for-psychological-services/ National Childhood Traumatic Stress Network Psychological First Aid Training: training: https://www.nctsn.org/treatments-and-practices/psychological-first-aid-and-skills-for-psychological-recovery/nctsn-resources Community-based NYC Organizations: https://www.recoupny.com/about-recoup-ny   Want to coach with Jennifer?

Violence and poverty have a large impact on one's “mental landscape”, as our guest Mareike Schomerus, Vice President of Busara, refers to it. A ‘mental landscape' encompasses the many experiences, memories and emotions that influence your decisions such as biases and expectations; your willingness to take risks, and what you think is fair or just. Western peacebuilders often lack understanding of such mental landscapes. Our other guest, Nika Saeedi from UNDP, is the global lead on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Peacebuilding, a field where such understanding is key.

Every Disaster must left trauma for those who experienced it. Thus, things are needed that aim to at least relieve the trauma of the survivors. That is one of the goals of the Psychosocial Support Service. - Dalam setiap Bencana, pastinya meninggalkan trauma bagi mereka yang mengalaminya. Maka dari itu diperlukan hal-hal yang bertujuan untuk setidaknya meredakan rasa truma yang dialami oleh para penyintas. Itulah salah satu tujuan dari Psychosocial Support Service.

I speak on this podcast with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about the articles, studies, and interesting stories she has presented to us this past month.  We spoke about a family who had one child suffering with IBD and a second diagnosed with IBS.  This conversation became about the differences between the two conditions and how the diagnosis and treatment of IBS and IBD have advanced substantially over the past decade.  On the subject of children, we looked at the benefits of having support systems within the celiac community not only for celiac children, but also for the parents of celiac children.  This support is important, soon after diagnosis, as well as on an ongoing basis.  A recent study to find a biomarker that would be able to measure how children were responding to a gluten free diet led Ellen and I to a discussion of using or mis-using TTG numbers to indicate healing and the adherence to the gluten free diet. Ellen put in a special word for Michelle, of Michelle's GF Kitchen as during May she was working with the Edmonton Chapter to help with ideas for some gluten free meals. As always, Ellen and I speak about food, and on this occasion, it was gluten free fish and chips and why they cause such a stir in our community. I received an email from a listener of the podcast who gave me more current information about a labelling issue I got wrong on a previous podcast.  We all make mistakes, but if we can come away with the correct information, we're all better for it.

In this important story about Covid19, we are joined by heroic kids from around the world.  It's written by Helen Patuck, and developed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee Reference Group on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings. They asked  5000 children, parents, caregivers and teachers from around the world to share with us how they were coping with the ongoing pandemic, and they used the information to develop this story. They advise kids to listen to this story alongside a parent, teacher or caregiver, so they can discuss and understand it. This is a very important story. All of you listeners can be heroes too by sharing this story with everyone you know.

As part of this year's World Mental Health Day, the U.S. Institute of Peace and the U.S. Department of State's Office of International Religious Freedom's Strategic Religious Engagement Unit hosted a discussion on religion, MHPSS and migration. The conversation drew on findings from USIP's initiative on Religious and Psychosocial Support for Displaced Trauma Survivors, which has identified specific ways in which faith-sensitive mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) can increase the effectiveness of trauma healing interventions for migrants and refugees. Panelists offered insight on actions that can be implemented in current efforts to assist migrants from highly religious contexts and to improve the quality of and accessibility to MHPSS to facilitate integration and reconciliation.

In this episode we talk with Sadia Dahir, Maimuna Mohammed, and Rose Poni about the recently released Women Rise Psychosocial Support Framework and Toolkit. Funded by USAID's Bureau of Humanitarian Affairs, the Women Rise Toolkit seeks to address a critical gap in technical guidance for GBV service providers implementing MHPSS programming. This toolkit provides thorough guidance on group psychosocial support for GBV service providers with a specific focus on intersectional feminist approaches to care. It's centered on providing all the necessary guidance on GBV Psychosocial Support service provision, including a full PSS intervention (Women Rise) complete with a curriculum, tools, and training to support GBV service providers to implement safe, accessible, and transformative group psychosocial interventions for women in Women and Girls' Safe Spaces. //To learn more, visit: https://womenrise.gbvresponders.org/ Thanks to Megan O'Brien for production support on this episode.

In this episode, we are joined by heroic children from Mexico, Canada, South Africa, Kenya, Germany, Singapore and Australia to bring you an important story about the Coronovirus, called My Hero is You, written by Helen Patuck and developed by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings. They asked 1700 children, parents, teachers and caregivers from around the world to share with us how they are coping with the Covid19 Pandemic – and they used this information to develop this story. They advise you to listen to this story alongside a parent, teacher or caregiver, so you can discuss and understand it. Please share! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/by-kids-for-kids-story-time/id1214724849 https://interagencystandingcommittee.org/iasc-reference-group-mental-health-and-psychosocial-support-emergency-settings/my-hero-you

Corona Stimulus Checks (0:00:00) I think it's safe to say that coronavirus has put all of us in a bind, especially financially. For many Americans, the financial pressure of juggling job losses with medical bills, rent, mortgages, and other payments has been nothing short of overwhelming. But Congress has recently approved an economic-relief package that will provide direct financial support to those who qualify. So, what do we need to know about this relief plan, and how do we know if we qualify for a stimulus check? We're joined today by Richard Rubin, the US tax policy reporter for the Wall Street Journal , here with us to discuss these checks.   Everyday Rockstar (0:08:27) Lisa and Richie feature this week's Everyday Rockstar. You could be feature on the show too! Send your nominations to thelisashow@byu.edu.   Resolving Conflict When You're Stuck at Home (0:21:26) One of the many side effects of this virus is that our kids are suddenly cooped up at home without school or work to entertain them. This has led to some craziness in my house! And parents don't have their usual escapes anymore either! This can lead to lots of tension and frustration where none has existed before. So how do we handle conflict when we can't escape each other? With us today to answer this question is Emily Taylor ; she's a certified mediator, conflict specialist, and communications trainer, with five kids of her own to practice on!   Giving Hope (0:38:36) On the Lisa Show, we like to highlight people making a difference in the world. Our next guest saw an issue that has had an impact on so many people –mental illness –and she decided that she wanted to help. Instead of feeling disheartened by the heaviness that comes with mental illness, she was inspired to turn outwards and to take her hope international. After Erika Charles completed a Master's degree in International Disaster Psychology she started a new career as a Global Mental Health and Psychosocial Support specialist, eventually leading her to start one of the only mental health organizations in Haiti: Espere –which means Hope.   The Environment and Mental Health (0:50:36) There's something peaceful about sitting in a clean room. Since we're all spending a lot of time in our homes, it's important for our mental health that our living spaces are environments that we want to be in. I know for many people with kids, or even just busy schedule though, maintaining that clean home can be difficult. So, what can we do to keep the clutter controlled? Here to share her insight with us is psychologist and author Dr. Lynn Saladino.    Bravery in Adversity (1:10:24) We've been facing a lot of adversity in the world with COVID-19, and it's caused a lot of worry for each of us. Some of us have lost jobs, some of us don't know if we'll be able to keep our job much longer and worries about the health and safety of loved ones is abundant. So, for now, and for after this crisis when we face hard things, how can we be brave in the face of adversity? Anita K. has over a decade of experience in workplace and personal coaching. We've invited her on the show today to discuss how she helps people manage and improve their lives in the face of adversity.   Social Distancing and the Disabled (1:27:18) Social distancing has been hard for all of us but especially for those who are legally blind. The blind community is facing additional challenges that contribute to their already vulnerable state. Understanding their struggles can allow us to look for ways that we can help them during these difficult times. This morning we are talking with Manny Giminez about what it means to be blind during this pandemic. Manny is legally blind and he and his girlfriend use their YouTube channel, “ Dalesha's life ”, to educate people about blindness.

Psychosocial support is a crucial part of the recovery process for women and girls, yet guidance on providing this service has been lacking. IRC is currently developing the Women Rise Psychosocial Support Toolkit for IRC, including specific curriculum, M&E tools, and supervision tools to cover this gap.

This project will be completed and launched globally in mid-2020. Read more about the project here: https://gbvresponders.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/Women-Rise-Project-Brief_V2.docx

The rising incidence of cancer and successes in its treatment mean that an ever increasing number of people are living with cancer. This is leading to the involvement of more and more informal caregivers in their care. In a new Cochrane Review from June 2019, Charlene Treanor from the Centre for Public Health in Queen’s University Belfast in Northern Ireland and colleagues looked at the evidence on the effects of psychosocial interventions for these people. We asked her to tell us about their findings in this podcast.

In our second episode we have a great conversation with Maddie Ulanow, the Jordan Country Director for Reclaim Childhood, a 501(c)(3) organization based in Amman, Jordan that seeks to empower refugee girls and local Jordanian women through sport and play. We talk about how Maddie came to Jordan, how much the RC girls love a unique of variety of sports including basketball, skateboarding, and squash, and we dissect life and traffic in Amman. We also delve into how funding cuts may affect her programs and how the new USA Syria refugees policy has impacted her coaches. Please NOTE that Maddie's interview represents her personal experiences and views, not the official views of the entire Reclaim Childhood organization.  ABOUT RECLAIM CHILDHOOD "We believe sport has the power to inspire confidence, hope and ambition in athletes. Team oriented games at all levels provide the psychosocial support necessary to improve self-esteem, strengthen peer relationships and foster leadership. Today, girls living in the Middle East have few opportunities to play sports. RC targets girls living in the most underserved communities in Jordan, including refugees from Syria, Iraq and Palestine." Reclaim Childhood operates regular after-school sports leagues and a month-long summer camp for girls ages 8 – 16, and coaching clinics for local adult women.

The number of refugees who have fled the conflict in Syria has reached 1 million. Half of these refugees are children and most are under the age of 11. Many have made an arduous journey overland with their parents, hoping to find refuge in a neighbouring land. Christian Aid partners Association Najdeh and Mouvement Social are working in Lebanon to support refugee children who may be experiencing psychological and social problems as a result of their experiences. In this podcast, Janet Symes, Head of Middle East Region at Christian Aid and Tanya Khahil, Coordinator of Psychosocial Support at Association Najdeh, explain the effects of conflict on children, and the work that is being done to support refugee children from Syria.
