In this episode of Crime Time, Inc., hosts review the second of four Reith lectures from the BBC by forensic psychiatrist, Dr. Gwen Adshead, titled 'But Aren't They All Evil?'. Delivered at the V and A museum in Dundee, Scotland, Dr. Adshead tackles the concept of evil, arguing that everyone has the capacity for it, even if they never act on it. Drawing on her experience with patients in secure psychiatric hospitals and prisons, she challenges the notion that people who commit violent acts are simply 'born evil.' Instead, she discusses various key components that contribute to an 'evil state of mind,' such as cognitive distortions, hyper individualism, a sense of entitlement, and self-deception. The hosts discuss how societal narratives and personal histories influence violent behavior, touching on notable examples like the Holocaust. Audience members in the Q&A contribute personal stories and challenge Dr. Adshead's views on the inherent nature of evil. The conversation transitions to the role of emotions, societal influences, and educational programs in preventing violence. Throughout, Dr. Adshead advocates for a nuanced understanding of human behavior and suggests that cultivating compassion and gratitude can counteract negative forces. The episode ends with a teaser for Dr. Adshead's next lecture, focused on the impact of childhood trauma on violence, which will be delivered from Grendon Prison in England.00:00 Introduction to Dr. Gwen Adshead's Lecture00:38 Challenging the Concept of Evil03:15 Components of an Evil State of Mind06:47 The Role of Emotions and Societal Influences08:18 Audience Reactions and Q&A12:47 Distorted Narratives and Self-Justification13:30 Violence as an Addiction14:21 The Role of Education in Reducing Violence15:44 The Age of Rage: Societal Anger and Accountability16:52 Gendered Aspects of Anger and Violence17:50 Public Health Approach to Violence Prevention18:34 Victims' Perspectives on Violence20:37 Religion and Rehabilitation22:35 Concluding Thoughts and Future Lectures Hosted on Acast.

Last week, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy declared gun violence a public health crisis.

Walk the Talk America founder Mike Sodini joins Cam to discuss the work being done by groups like WTTA to reduce youth "gun violence" that don't rely on or advance a gun control agenda.

#SLDThinkTank 2024 co-chair Jörn Schattenberg and SLD Think Tank co-chair Jeff Lazarus, participants Maja Thiele and Mike Betel and SurfingMASH co-hosts Louise Campbell and Roger Green convene to discuss #SLDThinkTank, a conference designed to innovate solutions for addressing large issues, many involving public health,  in conquering MASLD. 00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 5 Episode 15Standard lead-in, including brief quotes taken directly from the episode.00:02:45 - IntroductionOpening comments discussing the aggressive travel schedules of our guests. 00:04:02 - Meeting Maja Thiele and LiverAIMMaja introduces herself to our audience, including her "One Fact:" she has been a radio host in Denmark. Jörn mentions that Maja is about to start "the biggest randomized controlled trial in hepatology" through LiverAIM, an extremely ambitious project funded through the EU Innovative Health Initiative. 00:12:47 - GroundbreakerEach panelist shares one piece of good news from the previous week.00:15:38 - #SLD ThinkTank 2024 design Jeff provides background and rationale for the #SLDThinkTank 2024 design, going back to an initial meeting in 2019 and the first two years of INCBCN (S4, E13 and E23; S3, E18 and E 24).  The event included five sections, two workshops and an innovative concept called Open Spaces. Jörn provides color about how Open Spaces actually worked. 00:20:13 - Participants' experiencesMaja praises Open Spaces, which she describes as "especially fruitful" due to the diversity of attendees. After Mike seconds this comment, she describes her Open Spaces experience. 00:25:53 - Meeting highlights Roger asks participants to describe their highlights from the meeting. Jeff describes the paper(s) that will result from this meeting, lists the ten major issues the group developed for ending the SLD pandemic, after which he elaborates on a few of these.00:29:40 - The Magic Wand exerciseJörn: at the end of the first session, chairs gave participants a "Magic Wand" to achieve their goals. He notes a consensus that "we ha[ve] mechanisms and biomarkers," but face major public and policy challenges if we are to slow the MASLD growth rate meaningfully.  Maja notes the long timeline from research to implementation. 00:33:09 - Improving utilizationMike discusses prevention separate from treatment: There are only 94 FibroScan devices in Canada, and even these are underutilized. The group discusses what will be necessary to improve scanner use in a future world where having medicines motivates medical stakeholders.To Jeff, this discussion provided a sense of how the Open Space session worked and why this is the right design for big issues like "getting better bang for the buck." 00:43:59 - NIT Summit Jörn discusses the NIT Summit, which preceded the #SLDThinkTank. He sees this as a first step toward acknowledging that we need to train more people and find ways to train them better.  Jeff agrees.Maya describes Elliott Tapper's state-of-the-art talk on social media. Her takeaway: video is a valuable new format, especially for younger stakeholders. 00:47:39 - Wrap-Up QuestionsRoger asks the group what other topics from #SLDThinkTank 2024 to discuss before closing. No two panelists' answers are redundant.  Finally, Roger asks how non-practitioners can help drive wider awareness and action. Again, answers vary widely.  00:55:45 - Question of the WeekRoger asks listeners to describe "one way that making better use of the tools we have today (diagnostics and medicines) can make a major dent in the MASLD pandemic."00:56:38 - Business sectionThis week's news on increasing interest in SurfingMASH, our first newsletter, the Stephen Harrison Memorial page, upcoming episodes and this week's Vault.

Kansas City Parade Shooting: Internet Idiots & Midwestern Heroes, Memo to DC Government: Prosecuting & Arresting Criminals Actually Does Reduce Crime and Improve the Quality of Life, An Academic Acknowleges the ‘Disastrous, Unintended Consequences' of Taking a Public Health Approach to Gun Violence, Science Confirms: Assault Weapons are “Relative Rarity” in Murders

Police evicted residents of a homeless encampment in south Minneapolis Thursday for the second time in a few days. The encampment was the fourth iteration of Camp Nenookaasi, which was shut down Tuesday by the City of Minneapolis due to “imminent public safety concerns.“A city hearing on the encampments Wednesday night ended in a shouting match, with council members divided over how to approach the encampments. The city's operations officer, Margaret Anderson Kelliher, reiterated the city's stated core values — that every unsheltered person deserves dignity and respectful treatment.“Every effort has to be made to connect people to housing, shelter, and services,” Kelliher said. “Encampments are a serious public health risk to safety, including and centering on people staying in the encampment itself. They are not a dignified form of shelter.”The city has offered shelter for the residents, but people in the camp say they would rather be at Camp Nenookaasi. Josh Leopold, a Senior Advisor on Health, Homelessness and Housing at the Minnesota Department of Health joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer for more perspective.Editor's note: This story has been updated to correctly state the number of times Camp Nenookaasi has moved to a new location.Use the audio player above to listen to the full conversation. Subscribe to the Minnesota Now podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.   We attempt to make transcripts for Minnesota Now available the next business day after a broadcast.

A recent interview with Harvard professor David Hemenway makes clear that, despite attempts to portray a "public health approach to reducing gun violence" as separate from the agenda of the gun control lobby, the two are essentially one and the same.

And what we're trying to do is tie that past history of physical literacy and mental literacy as a way to actually normalize conversations around mental health. 4:26 We need to start actually teaching that there are different categories for mental health challenges. One would be everyday challenges: stress, lack of sleep, body image issues, things like that. Those are things everyone experiences. Another category would be environmental factors. The next category would be significant events, so experiences with loss change, and rejection, and how that affects your lives. This is really critical in terms of normalizing mental health. Because most people are confusing these issues. But those aren't the same things. This is just one tool. Let's actually separate what you're experiencing so that you have a better vocabulary for it.6:20 - One of the most important things there is teaching kinds of sensitivity around what is a mental health disorder and what isn't. 6:25 - The conversations that are getting normalized now aren't actually beneficial. They're dismissive of people's experiences.8:06 - Mental health literacy and mental health education are different from social-emotional learning. 8:36 - Mental health literacy is important because the definition of mental health isn't having a problem. It's how you address challenges in your life.8:56 - Mental health should be taught the same way as physical health. What schools are mainly afraid of is becoming therapeutic centers. But there is a way to take a public health approach to mental health. 12:12 In the professional setting, put up boundaries and only share things you've processed. Give yourself the outlet so that you're not stuck to take things back or wish you didn't share some.13:27 - One of the most important things you can do as a parent is to model the behavior you want to see in your kids. The largest form of education will always be through example. It'll never be words.16:40 - It's natural for kids to have different things they like and have those things shift throughout adolescence. There's nothing wrong with that. But when it gets deeper than that, when you see that they're not able to do the things they used to do for a longer duration of time,  that's when it's time to call someone in.18:05 - As you go through the early decades of your life, you spend so much time building and trying to find what works for you that it takes a while to get to a place where you can be more present and be in a place where you're connecting.Dear Mind, You Matter is brought to you by NOBU, new mental health, and wellness app. To download NOBU, visit the app store or Google Play. This podcast is hosted by Allison Walsh and Dr. Angela Phillips.

The American University's Dr. Cynthia Miller-Idriss joins the podcast to discuss the terrorist threat from within the United States, the January 6 attack on the Capitol and why she believes that preventing violent extremism needs a public health approach.

It's one of the go-to arguments for anti-gun activists, but as Cam details, a "public health approach to gun violence" is really just code for "it's time to rebrand the failing gun control movement."

For those concerned about nicotine addiction and tobacco consumption, a ban on flavored tobacco might sound like a good idea. But as Nkechi Taifa explains in this week's PPI Podcast, such bans are going to almost entirely fall onto minority communities. Several states are considering or have already banned flavored tobacco. Nkechi Taifa agrees with Crystal Swann that in time a time when we are rolling back the war on drugs in favor of a public health approach, we should be doing the same with tobacco.

In this episode of Talk Evidence, Jon Deeks, professor of biostatistics at the University of Birmingham, returns to the pod with an update on lateral flow tests - and why the government plan for using them in asymptomatic screening for covid-19 doesn't follow the science. We're also joined by Allyson Pollock, clinical professor of public health at Newcastle University, and author of a recent editorial in The BMJ about asymptomatic transmission of SARS-CoV-2. She explains why she thinks supporting social isolation is the missing piece of our approach to tackling the pandemic.

In the face of on-going police brutality against African Americans and the disproportionate impact of the Covid-19 epidemic on people of color, the United States has reached a tipping point in relation to racism, policing and public health. But what does it look like to adopt a “public health” approach to safety, policing, and economic development? In February, 2020, Laura visited Newark, New Jersey, to look at one city where decades of police reform efforts failed to stop violence and crime. Now, at the invitation of Mayor Raz Baraka, Aqeela Sherrills, a former gang-truce broker in Los Angeles, heads up the Newark Community Street Team which leverages residents' relationships to prevent violence before it starts. Flanders talks with Sherrills and other former gang members turned peace-keepers about how they address abuse and transform trauma for themselves and others, and to the city's Public Safety Director about what it's taken to build the team's partnership with police. This episode offers a timely glimpse of what it looks like when more responsibility for public safety is put in public hands and opens up the conversation about “defunding the police”.For the full episode notes, and our special segment on the Story Behind the Story where we discuss the making of the episode, goto https://Patreon.com/theLFShow

Every year on September 10th, individuals and organizations in over 50 countries connect and work together to prevent suicide, by supporting those who are struggling and to help those who are grieving. This year we will address this topic with Barbara Rubel the author of the fictional novel "But I Didn't Say Goodbye – Helping Families after a Suicide".  In her reader-friendly and well researched book, she addresses the loss of her father through suicide in a meaningful and thought provoking read, and discusses WHAT she learned in the process of grieving and healing. Barbara will share her unique approach to suicide prevention and post-vention, on how can develop personal resiliency and reclaim hope after loss in this month's "Bear Psychology radio show" on Realityradio101.com program. Whether you know someone who has attempted or completed suicide, or felt so much despair that you have considered it yourself ... we want to open up the dialogue today about this important topic. Let's start by clarifying that whatever is going on in your life today, the pain of the moment can elevate us to open up and and there are many people and sources of information that can provide relief. We will begin the conversation with two numbers and resource links so we have a safe reference point right from the start: In Canada: https://suicideprevention.ca/WSPD 1.833.456.4566 In the U.S.: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/  1-800-273-8255 We will discuss: The WHY of suicide Reflect on feelings of anger, guilt and grief Barbara's own experience of losing her father to suicide and how she was able to reconstruct meaning into her life after such a sudden loss Learn about her unique Dual Process Model and 4 Tasks of Grief and apply them to the impact of suicide loss Does the current COVID-19 Pandemic complicate grief from suicide of someone in your life? Barbara will reflect from the lens of her own tragic loss and personal experience. What do you do when your father dies by suicide while you are in the hospital awaiting the birth of your triplets? What do you do when you can't attend your father's funeral because physician orders include complete bed rest? What do you do when you realize that you experienced a devastating loss and that you are not alone in that experience? You write a book and dedicate your life to helping others affected by suicide. Barbara Rubel's fictional characters in "But I Didn't Say Goodbye" are a compilation of what individuals may experience throughout their lifetime as a suicide loss survivor. "But I Didn't Say Goodbye: Helping Families After a Suicide" tells the story, from the perspective of an eleven-year-old boy Alex and his family, as they are rocked by suicide and reeling from the aftermath. Through Alex's eyes, the reader sees the transformation of feelings after going through death by suicide. New to the book's 3rd edition, each chapter ends with Alex reflecting 10 years later on his experience, introducing family members and friends in his recollections. Barbara Rubel has combined our modern academic theories of grieving, and the research that supports those theories, and then translated them into a readable story for anyone bereaved by suicide. The revised edition is an evidence-informed and contemporary treatment of a devastating form of loss that uses the artful device of a hypothetical case study to render it in human terms. Through the story, the reader understands what losing someone to suicide might be like for a family, how to make meaning of the loss, and ways to experience personal growth. This self-help book was revised to provide guidance and education for clinicians and families to help suicide loss survivors.

Discussions and lectures by the best and brightest thinkers from Boston University

Substance use issues often co-occur with mental health challenges. For people and communities struggling with both, our lack of a fully integrated, person-centered, prevention-oriented public health system exacts a heavy toll. Partly in response to the opioid crisis, there is now growing momentum toward policy changes that emphasis treatment and prevention rather than stigma and incarceration. This openness to new approaches has made its way to Texas, just in time for the 86th Legislature which got underway last month. Shannon Hoffman, policy fellow for the Hogg Foundation, is an expert on substance use policy and is following this issue in the state Legislature closely. She is here to help us break down this broad and complex area of policy, and help us understand why Texans may have cause for optimism this session.

Nobody is arguing that heroin has become a suburban epidemic.  It wasn't until her boyfriend of eight years, Michael, overdosed and died that our guest went from naïve young girl to determined and passionate young woman.  She now raises a child, goes to school, works three jobs and in her spare time trains people in the use of Naloxone commonly known as Narcan, a drug that counteracts the effects of opiates. A dose of Narcan costs about 60 cents; a life is priceless. Join us this week as we talk to Cassandra.
