A new study suggests the pandemic caused some adolescents' brains to age much faster than they normally would. According to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the average teen girl had their brains age more than 4 years faster. For boys, the study found on average, adolescent brains aged close to a year and a half faster. Why did that happen and why was there such a stark contrast between boys' and girls' brains? Dr. Yann Poncin of the Yale Child Study Center answered our questions. Image Credit: Getty Images

A recent survey found that nearly a quarter of middle school students and a third of high school students feel they don't belong. This conversation explores the concept of belonging uncertainty and its impact on students' well-being and academic success. The guests discuss the importance of creating a sense of belonging in schools and offer strategies for addressing this issue. They emphasize the need for adults to have conversations about identity, race, gender, and sexual orientation with students, and to validate their experiences. Small interventions, such as assigning buddies to new students and using value-affirmation activities, can also help reduce belonging uncertainty.

“Children are just suffering more,” says Dr. Linda C. Mayes, director of the Yale Child Study Center. A pediatrician by training, Dr. Mayes specializes in child and adolescent psychiatry. Like other health care professionals, she is sounding the alarm about the rise in anxiety and depression in young people.

What types of emotional and behavioral disorders are kids presenting? At the Child Study Center here in New Haven, what we're seeing is no different than what's being seen across the country and around the world. The increase in mental health needs among children and adolescents often is framed as a post-COVID phenomenon. But over the past few years, there's been a steady increase in children's mental health needs—depression, suicidality, anxiety, increased feelings of stress—that speaks to an overall stress among children and families. COVID and the pandemic added to the mental health crisis. The pandemic also highlighted some of the fragilities in our healthcare system. One might think in the same way, that the pandemic highlighted the mental health needs and vulnerabilities of our youngest citizens, and that we're seeing an increased volume is important to know. We're also seeing an increase in severity. Children are just suffering more, and we're seeing children thinking about suicide at an earlier age. We're seeing more eating disorders starting at an earlier age. Our children's distress is also an expression of the increasing distress and fragmentation of our society. Children, in a sense, are like the canaries in the coal mine. They're experiencing the distress, the increased lack of civility, the increased fragmentation. The lack of civility and lack of empathy among adults is striking. Where did that come from? I think there are multiple causes. We've had an economically stressed society. We have the stresses of the pandemic. We have a politically divided society now. Whatever side of the aisle you're on, to use that metaphor, it's very hard to cross the aisle. We've lost the ability to have a conversation where you see the other person as an individual who may or may not agree with you, but who is still an individual worthy of respect. How to do that is a fundamental skill. It's the glue that holds society together. When children see and feel and experience that kind of fracturing, it's not good for their—or anyone's—mental health. What signs should parents and educators look for if they think a child needs clinical intervention? When children are just not themselves, when they've changed, when they might have been the outgoing, playful, always-helping child who now is quiet, maybe even a little bit irritable, when there's a real change in who they are in their presentation. Typically, people talk about when grades start to go down. That's another indicator. When kids start to lose their enjoyment for the things they dearly loved. If they love to read, for example, but they stop reading. Or they love to play with friends, but now they just want to stay in the house. Those kinds of changes in behavior are important to notice. It's not always the child who's sad and withdrawn. It can be the child who suddenly is acting out or the child who is now afraid of a whole number of things. Those kinds of changes, and especially parents who know their children well, when they see that they're just not themselves, that's what to pay attention to. If a child is withdrawn, they may not want to speak. Are there ways to spur conversation without asking repeated questions? One of the most important ways is to be present. Sometimes, it may be taking a walk, or reading a book together, or just doing something together. Silence can be quite deafening. In our busy lives, families don't often have those moments, those dinner-together moments, or those quiet walk-after-dinner together moments, or those times just sitting on the steps and talking. Those are the kinds of moments that bring people together. A child may not start talking right then. They may need to have a bit of quiet reassurance that, yes, somebody is going to be there, and they're going to be listening. Many areas in the U.S. have a shortage of mental health professionals. What is being done to make treatment more accessible and more effective? There's a shortage of healthcare professionals broadly, and there's a shortage of healthcare professionals around children's needs broadly. That includes physicians, pediatricians, psychologists, and social workers, because mental health for children is delivered not just by one profession. Before addressing what is being done and what can be done, we need to ask the question of why. Why is there a shortage of healthcare providers, especially post-COVID, but why is there especially a shortage of mental health providers? There are a few reasons that we, as a society, need to look at very deeply. One of them is how we think about mental health. We often think about it as “the other,” that it's not a part of overall health, that it's not a part of physical health. The division between physical and mental health is an artificial one. They go together. Another why is the stigma about mental health. As much as we've tried to work on it, it's still alive and well in this country. It still impacts policy and decisions that people make about going into the field. It affects how we reimburse and support mental health, especially children's mental health. Generally, children's health is reimbursed less. By reimbursement, I mean by commercial payers and the individuals or institutions that pay for care. Then you take children's mental health care and it's not on par with other kinds of care. It's very hard [for a health care professional] to make a wage that would support themselves and their family after years of training. So, we have a reimbursement structure that also perpetuates the bias. As a country, we need to put that front and center because the other things we can do to improve access or care will be great and are great. During the pandemic, we learned a lot about the delivery of telehealth. We learned how to deliver mental health care across virtual platforms, making it available to children and families across state lines, from rural to urban, extending the capacity of a clinician in an urban area. We still need to increase broadband access in rural areas, and states need to work together so that clinicians can deliver care across state lines. We've also learned that some children need just a few sessions with a mental health care provider. Some even respond to one or two sessions. Thinking more creatively about how we deliver services across telehealth platforms will improve access dramatically. We're in a revolutionary time for mental health care for kids. Can you describe the mechanisms by which literacy can lead to improved physical and mental health outcomes? How does literacy impact health? It opens the world. You learn what a variety of people do. You also learn about your body. You learn how it works, what's good and not good. Reading—including storytelling—is stress-relieving. Reading has dropped blood pressure to a healthy level in some studies. It's what we call emotionally organizing. Reading also brings people together. If you've read a good book, you tell a friend about it, and soon the two of you are talking about that book. The same is true if a child brings you a book and wants you to read it. Reading builds interpersonal links between parent and child or teacher and child. It's a very strong glue for building relationships. And we know from research that relationships and social connectedness have as strong an impact on health as good nutrition and not smoking, for example. So, it's through those areas, and then another, what we would call a meta or proxy variable: If you're more literate, you're more educated. If you're more educated, you know how to access health resources better. You make better choices. Yet we have two systems—our healthcare system and our educational system. The two don't always work together. What's good for kids in this country is to bring health and education together. There's a significant finding in Scholastic's latest Kids & Family Reading Report that reinforces this notion. Kids who read more reported better mental health overall, with fewer occurrences of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. Yes, and that's a very important finding. As a researcher, though, I need to warn that it's associative and not necessarily causal. It may be that children who have better mental health read more and by reading more, they feel better. The report also found that 41% of students get most of their books at school, which highlights the importance of teacher curation and accessibility. Are you and other experts seeing adverse effects on children due to book banning? I deeply worry for our society because of book banning. In my world, the medical world, we talk about symptoms that are the danger signs of something more serious. A very high fever, for example, or very high blood pressure, or a very low white blood cell count, indicates that something serious is going on in that individual. I see book banning as one of those indicators of something serious going on in our society, what we talked about earlier, the fractionated society. I can certainly talk about book banning and children, but I think we also need to think about what it says diagnostically about our social fabric. That said, there are no empirical studies about book banning that I know of, but it's just common sense. You don't limit a child's curiosity. You don't say to them, “You shouldn't read this. This book has principles that aren't good for you.” Let them read it and have an open discussion. Let them watch a television program, watch it with them, and have an open discussion. When you ban a book, you're saying that certain forms of knowledge and experience are off-limits. That is just fundamentally against learning, building curiosity, building an ability to engage with the world in any way. I do realize that my stance is from a particularly liberal point of view. I'm very aware of that. At the same time, I know what's good for children and I know what's good for children's learning, and I know that inhibiting or prohibiting pathways to learning in any way is not good for children's cognitive development. What measures among key stakeholders are being taken to improve literacy outcomes for children, even starting with preschoolers? I would say even starting with infancy and prenatally. I think one of the fundamental messages, if you want to go back even further, is that talking, storytelling, building relationships, using words, is a fundamental literacy skill. So, a mom or a couple who are pregnant: Talk to the baby inside the mom's tummy. Build up a repertoire of stories, and when that baby comes, you'll have the repertoire of stories. When you have your infant in your arms, talk to them about the world around them. Tell them stories about yourself. Tell them stories about what just happened during the day. Tell them about the sun and the rain outside. You're building literacy when you do that. Literacy doesn't have to just be by books, by just using words and creating a narrative. That said, while we certainly need more pediatricians in this country, and more access to children's special healthcare, we miss an opportunity in the healthcare world, and this gets back to bringing education and health together. We miss an opportunity to not use pediatricians even more than Reach Out and Read already does. We should use pediatricians as the conduit for literacy and the conduit for books because pediatricians are the individuals or healthcare professionals are the individuals that children see before they are of school age. But it's not just putting books in children's hands, it's also having adults know how to use those books. It's not just reading the words, but helping the child think about what else could have happened in a story. The blue bear did this with his friend, the goose, but what else could bear have done? Or what was goose thinking about? Why do you think goose did that? To really help children expand that narrative and to engage with them around building out the story, not just literally reading the story. In doing that, you're encouraging their imagination. The most fundamental way to build literacy is to build narrative and storytelling. Many teachers are encountering not just mental and emotional challenges among students, but also behavioral issues to an extent they haven't seen before. What advice do you have for educators who are feeling overwhelmed and don't have the resources to address this rise in students' mental health needs? There are three things I would say to teachers. One is that, besides parents, you have the hardest and most responsible job in our society. You're taking care of and launching our next generation. I deeply appreciate not only the work that all teachers do, but also the stress that teachers are under and the burdens they feel. I also would say is that if you can hold in mind, and it's incredibly hard to do, when a child is melting down in front of you or angrily yelling or out of control, that all behavior is a communication, and then take just a little space inside yourself to wonder what is this child trying to tell me? What are they trying to say with this behavior? Maybe the child won't know, but you'll know that they're communicating something through their behavior. Maybe they're trying to say that they're scared. Maybe they're trying to say that they're exhausted. Maybe they're trying to say that they need you or they need someone more, but they're trying to say something. It's a really hard thing to do in the moment, but it's extraordinarily important. Behavioral disruptions are happening across the country at all ages. It's not just kids in classrooms. We're seeing adults lose it in various settings. When children cause behavioral disruptions, the preschool phrase is often, “Use your words.” Preschool teachers know that if you can get the behavior into words, you can help. The third thing I would offer to teachers is, if you can, have a peer or someone else you can talk to. You have your own mental health needs that shouldn't go unheard. Guns are now the leading cause of death among children and teens. Do we know the psychological and social impact of community violence, mass shootings, and even active shooter drills in schools? I have many colleagues who think a lot about this and who are much more expert in it than I. For example, here at the Child Study Center, we have our Child Development-Community Policing Program. My colleagues Steven Marans and Carrie Epstein and the rest of their team, Megan Goslin, are often called to consult and help teachers, and they do that in such a clinically skilled and sensitive way. We have an enormous availability of guns in this country and a history of guns being used to express a range of distress and feelings. The corollary is that it has happened so often, we're numbed by it. A staggering number of mass shootings have happened in this country, defined as four or more injured. Some of them don't even make the news at this point. What's the effect on children? Broadly, school is no longer as safe a place as it once was. What do active shooter drills do? As a researcher, I would want to know more about that, but I'm guessing it makes children more scared. I'm guessing it raises the anxiety level of teachers, too. Whether they're effective for that event, may it never happen, is another question. I've often heard people compare active shooter drills to back when the threat of nuclear war began. Schools had drills, and kids were asked to get under their desks. If you look back on it, it looks kind of crazy. My worry about active shooter drills is, not just are they effective, not just do they raise teachers' anxiety and children's anxiety, but my worry is that we may be putting our attention in the wrong place. We're putting our attention on the possibility that this terrible thing might happen. Really, our attention should be on why? Why is it happening more frequently? Why is it that we can't look at the harsh truth of the availability of guns? Why can we not look at other societies experiencing the same broad global stress that don't have these kinds of mass shootings? Ask those questions. Researchers at the Yale Child Study Center-Scholastic Collaborative have identified altruism as a hallmark of resilience. How can altruism play a role in helping children and communities emerge stronger after a traumatic event? It's not just us. There's a large body of work about altruism across several settings, altruism and prisoner of war situations, altruism during natural disasters. Altruism is a fundamentally human capacity. We also see it in some non-human primates, as well. It's the ability to reach outside of yourself and think about the needs of others, to make some sacrifice of yourself in order to help someone else. So, for example, in the darkest of situations, like in a prisoner of war situation, when you take your food ration and give it to the person next to you who you know is starving, although you yourself don't have much. It's the ability to reach out and make a connection to someone else, thinking outside yourself about someone else's needs. You see it all the time in this country. When there's a tragedy, you see people coming together in the most remarkably altruistic ways: firemen risking their own lives to bring a family to safety, families who have almost nothing bringing everything they have to the neighbor down the street whose house was wiped out by a tornado. It's a basic human. We survive because we are a community. So, what can we do more of? Talk about altruism. Highlight it. Altruism is good for your health. It's a very ironic message, that by sacrificing yourself for someone else, you also are doing something good for yourself. You're improving your own health and your own likelihood of a healthy outcome. But you don't do it for that reason. You do it because of the basic human need to create community. → Special Thanks Producer: Maxine Osa Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon Top Story: Author Kelly Yang Talks With a Scholastic Kid Reporter A Darker Mischief: Celebrate Pride Month With Author Derek Millman

What's it like to be a teenager these nowadays? What challenges do they face? How can adults contribute to their well-being? To answer these questions, Pedro Pinto interviews Lisa Damour in this episode of “It's Not That Simple”, a podcast by the Francisco Manuel dos Santos Foundation. A clinical psychologist, Damour is the author of three New York Times best sellers: Untangled, Under Pressure, and The Emotional Lives of Teenagers. She co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, works in collaboration with UNICEF, and is recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association. Damour is also a regular contributor to The New York Times and CBS News. She serves as a Senior Advisor to the Schubert Center for Child Studies at Case Western Reserve University and has written numerous academic papers, chapters, and books related to education and child development. She maintains a clinical practice and speaks to schools, professional organizations, and corporate groups around the world on the topics of child and adolescent development, family mental health, and adult well-being. Damour graduated with honors from Yale University and worked for the Yale Child Study Center before earning her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Michigan. She has been a fellow at Yale's Edward Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy and the University of Michigan's Power Foundation. She and her husband are the proud parents of two daughters. In this episode, Damour explains why it is harder to be a teenager now than it was decades ago. She also explores how social media and the digital world affect teenagers and their well-being, while considering the differences between boys and girls in the way they engage with the digital environment. Damour then advises parents to “go slow” on giving their kids access to digital technology and social media. Furthermore, she discusses the role and impact of “caring adults” on a teenager's mental health. Finally, she warns parents about what kinds of behavior should make them worry about their teenage kids, in a conversation well worth listening to.

If your child is anxious, you need to listen to this. Paul is joined by Dr. Eli Lebowitz to discuss anxiety in children and how parents can support their anxious children. Dr. Lebowitz, a psychologist and professor at the Yale Child Study Center, shares his expertise on child anxiety and the impact of family dynamics on anxiety disorders. He discusses the fact that parents should not blame themselves for their child's anxiety and highlights the importance of a supportive stance towards anxiety. Dr. Lebowitz also addresses common accommodations parents make for anxious children and offers strategies for reducing accommodation.

Contact and social links below: https://mindsetchangeuk.com/useful-links KEY TAKEAWAYS Parents should not blame themselves for their child's anxiety. There is no evidence to suggest that parents are the cause of anxiety disorders in children. It is important for parents to adopt a supportive stance towards their child's anxiety. This involves acknowledging their anxiety and expressing confidence in their ability to cope with it. Accommodation of anxiety, such as reassurance-seeking or avoidance behaviours, should be reduced. Accommodation can inadvertently reinforce the belief that the child cannot handle anxiety, leading to more anxiety in the long run. It is important to seek professional evaluation to determine if physical symptoms, such as nausea, are anxiety-related or have another underlying cause. BEST MOMENTS "Our field, like mental health, we brought this on ourselves, this whole guilt issue. We really did." "Teaching your child that it's okay to be anxious some of the time and that they can handle that, that's the biggest gift you can give an anxious child." "The most important lesson for a child who has anxiety to learn is actually, I can be anxious, and it'll pass, and it's okay, and it's not the end of the world." "The truth of the matter is that who you are as a parent is really unlikely to have a big impact on whether or not your child has an anxiety disorder."

Scientists who study the mind and brain have always been drawn to periods of intense change—to those life stages marked by rapid transformation. Infancy is one of those periods, of course. Adolescence is another. But there's a less-discussed time of life when our brains and minds have to reconfigure: the window surrounding when we become parents. My guests today are Dr. Winnie Orchard and Dr. Jodi Pawluski. Winnie is a cognitive neuroscientist and postdoctoral scholar at the Yale Child Study Center. Jodi is a neuroscientist, author, and podcaster affiliated with the University of Rennes in France. Both are experts in the neural and cognitive changes that surround pregnancy, motherhood, and parenthood more generally. Here, we talk about the idea of "matrescence" as a distinctive developmental stage. We discuss the research around memory loss in early motherhood, as well as findings that certain brain areas get fine-tuned during this period. We talk about postpartum anxiety, depression, and psychosis, and what may be causing them. We consider the finding that having children—and, in fact, having more children—seems to confer a protective effect on the aging brain. Throughout we talk about which of these changes also occur in fathers and other non-birthing parents. And we consider the difficulty of scientifically studying a period of life—parenthood—that is not only rife with social and psychological changes, but also fraught with expectations and narratives. Alright friends, I hope you enjoy this one. As you'll hear, this research area is very much still in its infancy. There are definitely some provocative findings. But maybe more exciting are all the questions that remain. Without further ado, here's my chat with Dr. Winnie Orchard and Dr. Jodi Pawluski. Enjoy! A transcript of this episode will be available soon. Notes and links 2:45 – For more on the relationship between adolescence and “matrescence,” see this recent review paper by Winnie and colleagues in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. 6:00 – For discussions surrounding the idea of “mommy brain,” see Jodi's podcast, ‘Mommy Brain Revisited.' See also this recent editorial by Jodi and colleagues in JAMA Neurology. 17:00 – A recent meta-analysis on cognitive impairment during pregnancy. 25:00 – A study by Winnie and colleagues showing subjective—but not objective—memory deficits in mothers one year after giving birth. 26:45 – An influential study showing structural changes in the brain following pregnancy. The same study also found that some of these changes correlated with measures of maternal attachment. 28:00 – A recent review article by Jodi and colleagues on the idea of neural fine-tuning in early motherhood. 41:45 – A recent review paper by Jodi and colleagues about the neural underpinnings of postpartum depression and anxiety. 44:00 – A review paper about postpartum psychosis. 51:00 – A study on the prevalence of postpartum depression across cultures. 58:00 – A 2014 review of research on mother-child synchrony. 1:00:00 – A recent study by Winnie and colleagues looking at how having children affects later life brain function. Another study by Winnie and colleagues on the same topic. 1:13:00 – Several studies have documented general changes in “Big 5” personality factors as people age. A study examining this in both American and Japanese participants is here. 1:18:00 – Since we recorded this interview, the publication date for the English version of Jodi's book has been scheduled. It comes out in September 2023—more info here.

Alexis's 8 year old son didn't like to be out of sight from his mother for even for five minutes. “I would always be like, okay, I'm going right upstairs, I'm just switching the load of laundry – I'll be right back! He knew where I was every minute of the day.” Then, with the help of a therapist, Alexis and her husband wrote their son a letter, explaining to him that they would no longer allow him to accompany them to the bathroom. It didn't go great. “He was visibly upset and crying and he shredded it immediately." But things did start to change as Alexis and her husband continued to implement a therapy program designed to help parents change how they respond to their children's distress. Anna also talks to the founder of that program, Dr. Eli Lebowitz, director of the Program for Anxiety Disorders at the Yale Child Study Center, and author of Breaking Free of Child Anxiety and OCD: A Scientifically Proven Program for Parents. In therapy, parents are asked to think about the accommodations they do for their children, and to slowly eliminate them. “If you're a kid and what you're growing up learning about yourself through your parents is, I can't handle anxiety, well, you're gonna have a lot of anxiety in your life.”

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Teenagers naturally experience a rollercoaster of emotions, making everyday pressures and transitional changes overwhelming for parents and adolescents alike. Our guest Lisa Damour, a clinical psychologist, and best-selling author of ‘The Emotional Lives of Teenagers' emphasizes the integrality of validating teenagers' emotions while also providing a framework on how to understand and support them. In this episode, Lisa reveals what to expect from teenage emotional development, and why we need to change the way we approach adolescent mental health. Learn effective ways to maintain open lines of communication, clearly articulate values, cope with common challenges such as too much gaming time and disengaging at school, and foster deeper bonds. With research-informed explanations and real-life examples, this episode gives parents the tools needed to support their teens through this difficult stage in life. Listen and Learn: From where does the reputation of teenagers derive, and is it justified? Why do teenagers experience such powerful emotions as they transition from childhood to adolescence? The distinction between hot and cold cognition, and how parents can use this knowledge to help their teenagers prepare for situations where they may become overwhelmed or not be able to think clearly. Is it a myth that difficult emotions are damaging or should be avoided? How to help teenagers with expressing their feelings. Why distraction can be an effective coping strategy for teens to regulate their emotions. How communication and a sense of safety can have a meaningful impact on adolescent behavior. Why do teenagers find their parents so ‘annoying'? Are there gender differences in emotion?

Do you experience struggles around morning routines, getting to school, transitions, homework, mealtime, getting off screens, and bedtime? You're not alone. And if so, you don't want to miss this conversation with Dr. Karrie Lager. With Dr. Karrie, we're taking another look at a treatment modality that could be right for you and your family. It's called Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and it focuses on play-based coaching for parents to better interact with their child to strengthen relationships and improve behavior. Many parents have said that this was a life changing experience for them and Dr. Karrie can help us understand what PCIT is, what it entails, who it's right for, and how it can impact the entire family. Show Notes: [2:23] - Let's continue the conversation about different treatment modalities with parent child interaction therapy. [3:21] - PCIT is evidence-based and is designed to strengthen the parent child relationship. [4:35] - Common moments of parent stress can become a problem. [5:20] - PCIT is unique in that therapists coach parents in real time. [6:05] - In the past, therapists would coach through a one way mirror. Now with technology and telehealth platforms, therapists can coach in the home. [8:28] - What are the benefits of coaching in the moment? [9:46] - Dr. Karrie shares some of the things PCIT helps guide parents through, specifically tantrums and aggression. [11:04] - How to notice the good in others and how to positively interact with others is one key feature of PCIT. [13:32] - PCIT can be adapted to work with children with ADHD, Autism, and learning differences. [14:40] - Screen time is a sticky situation for a lot of families. Dr. Karrie shares some good points about the age of the child and how they interact with screens. [16:30] - PCIT is very play-based. [19:12] - Typically PCIT lasts anywhere between 14 and 20 sessions and is based on the parents feeling confident in the skills. [20:48] - Many parents have given the feedback that PCIT is life changing. [22:13] - Parents need to also have patience and compassion for themselves as they learn how to best support their child.

It sounds overly simple, but hear why the question, How are you feeling? is so key in interactions like doctor-patient ones, but really, all of our relatinoships. An open-ended question like that can truly keep the door open on validating others' emotions, avoiding unintentionally suggesting that the way someone is feeling is not normative. Dr. Chris Cipriano is an expert in social and emotional learning and gives this tip as well as several others, to help me (and maybe you!) in every day interactions. Dr. Christina Cipriano, PhD is an Assistant Professor at the Yale Child Study Center and is the Director of Research at the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. Dr. Cipriano is an Applied Developmental and Educational Psychologist. Her research is focused on social and emotional learning intervention and assessment, particularly as it pertains to marginalized student and teacher populations.

We've learned so much about the trauma experienced by children who've been abused. We know about their clinical symptoms. We know how these affect their functioning at home and at school. And we know about the lifelong impacts of leaving these trauma symptoms untreated. We're grateful that not only child abuse professionals but your average citizen is now aware that victims of child abuse can develop PTSD at rates and severity to those of soldiers who've been to war.But is that cycle of abuse, trauma symptoms, and PTSD development inevitable? Is it possible to interrupt that cycle in such a way that symptoms reduce and PTSD never develops in the first place? CFTSI—the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention—is an evidence-based intervention that can do just that for some kids. We speak with Carrie Epstein, co-director of the Yale Center for Traumatic Stress and Recovery and co-developer of CFTSI about how this brief, early intervention can help reduce symptoms in children and caregivers.Topics in this episode:Origin story (1:30)The development of CFTSI (5:42)What is CFTSI?

It's the return of R. Kevin Grigsby, MSW, DSW, on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week! Dr. Grigsby joins our show for a timely discussion on organizational strategy in academic medicine. Today's conversation also includes vital tidbits on leadership, how to conduct an efficient meeting, and much more. Today's episode is another example of a return guest rejoining our show for a powerful and memorable reunion episode. It was way back in September 2019 when he first joined us. As you would imagine, nearly three and a half years later there was a lot to catch up on. You can revisit Dr. Grigsby's episode from 2019 with us here. Dr. Grigsby has entered a stage of his career he is describing as “replenishment” as he continues to work on projects he helps colleagues with in academic medicine and science. Dr. Grigsby previously served as Senior Director, Member Organizational Development at the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC). Dr. Grigsby started his academic career at Yale Child Study Center. As a social worker by training, Dr. Grigsby was involved with work in the early stages of his career with organizations, such as group homes and shelters for homeless kids. He worked on research to help those organizations better meet their missions. Dr. Grigsby spent almost a decade at Penn State College of Medicine as Vice Dean for Faculty and Administrative Affairs. Before he joined the AAMC in 2009, he was Vice Dean for Administration and Research at the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta.
“It's a great thing to always have someone to rescue you, but to always need to be rescued is such a vulnerable way to live, such a limiting way to live. You don't want your child to feel like they always need to be rescued.” Dr. Eli Lebowitz joins me in today's episode about childhood anxiety. He studies and treats childhood anxiety at the Yale Child Study Center and through his SPACE program and Breaking Free of Childhood Anxiety and OCD book. We discuss why accommodations can be problematic, what true support looks like, where to start, making a plan, telling your child, responding to aggression, and navigating when co-parents disagree.

Human evolution is incredible. We come out of the womb knowing that our greatest chance of survival is to attach to a primary caretaker who will keep us safe. And that innate wisdom is what motivates children to seek closeness and connection to their secure base. When children suffer from an anxiety disorder the threat detector in their brain is on overdrive and more and more they rely on their parents to protect and soothe them. And while parents have the best intentions, this interpersonal dance can actually serve to increase the severity and frequency of anxiety in children. Dr. Eli Lebowitz of the Yale Child Study Center has pioneered a new treatment that interrupts that dance! By altering the way parents respond to their child when they are in distress, rather than fueling the flames of anxiety, parents are able to lessen the symptoms, all without asking their child to change his or her behavior in any way. SPACE has been a game changer in my private practice and I was delighted when Dr. Lebowitz agreed to come on the podcast to discuss the incredible work he is doing and the amazing results they are seeing.

Child anxiety is a topic on the mind of millions across the world. I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Eli Lebowitz about his innovative Space Treatment method, which he outlines in his new book Breaking Free of Child Anxiety & OCD. This method of treating anxiety in children is unique in that it works solely with the child's parents, and is shown to be as effective as working with the child. Professor Lebowitz studies and treats childhood and adolescent anxiety at the Yale Child Study Center. His research focuses on the development, neurobiology, and treatment of anxiety and related disorders, with special emphasis on family dynamics and the role of parents in these problems.
