Podcasts about young minds

In this episode of See See by Ceci, we're joined by Vikram Patel, global mental health leader, psychiatrist, and the Paul Farmer Professor and Chair of the Department of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He confronts a contradiction at the heart of the twenty-first-century mind: why mental health is declining in the wealthiest nations, with record resources at hand, while some of the most effective solutions are emerging from communities that have almost none. In this wide-ranging conversation, Professor Patel walks us through what he calls the great mental health paradox and its two roots: a reductionist system that answers suffering with a prescription, and an individualism in which "disconnection is like a virus." He traces the asylum and the diagnostic manual; fifty years and tens of billions of dollars that have yielded no biomarker and no new drugs; the loneliness epidemic; the grip of poverty and inequality; and India's rise in youth suicide. Then comes his own answer: the community health worker, most often a woman, most often unpaid, trained to deliver a six-session treatment that cured two-thirds of people with severe depression and kept well years on. With reflections from criminologist Stephen Schoenthaler, neuroscientists Rudolph Tanzi and John Cryan, jazz drummer Terri Lyne Carrington, writer Andrew Solomon, psychiatrist Richard Mollica, philosophers Paul Thagard and Stephen Cave, choreographer Alexander Whitley, sixteen-year-old activist Alexander Schmitz of Young Minds for Global Health, and three-Michelin-starred chef Eric Vildgaard, the episode gathers voices you would rarely find in one room. How minds this different meet on common ground is what we leave for the listening to reveal. This episode is about a scientist fluent in the resources of both the biomedical clinic and the community's own healing knowledge, and about the richness of a simple truth he keeps returning to, that what makes a life well is connection, and who reminds us that when it comes to mental health, we are all developing nations. Above all, this conversation is about the most quietly radical proposition medicine can make: that the cure for much of our suffering is not somewhere out of reach, but near at hand, in the bonds we build between us. *Vikram Patel is the Paul Farmer Professor and Chair of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He co-founded Sangath, the Indian NGO honored with WHO and MacArthur awards, has co-led two Lancet Commissions on global mental health, and is a member of the US National Academy of Medicine. His honors include the Pardes Humanitarian Prize, an Honorary OBE, the Canada Gairdner Global Health Award, and a place on Time's 100 most influential people (2015).

This is the Annual Gray's Inn Reading 2026.The lecture was delivered within three months of Sir Andrew McFarlane's retirement after 21 years on the Family Bench. Whilst the phrase ‘un-plugged' may not be appropriate, it is anticipated that the lecturer will no longer feel restrained by judicial caution when commenting upon the future development of Family Justice. In addition to a focus on the future of adoption law and the need for significant reform in relation to the financial rights of cohabitants, the lecturer will use a perspective gained from 8 years as the judicial Head of Family Justice to offer suggestions for reform of the system itself.This lecture was recorded by The Rt Hon Sir Andrew McFarlane on the 15th of June 2026Andrew McFarlane was called to the Bar in 1977 and practiced in chambers in Birmingham until 1993 when he moved to specialist family law chambers in London. He appeared at all levels of court including the House of Lords and the European Court of Human Rights. He was appointed as a QC in 1998. In April 2005 he was appointed to the High Court, Family Division and was for 5 years the Family Division Liaison Judge for the Midland Circuit. He was the legal member of the Government ‘Family Justice Review' Panel. In July 2011 he was appointed to be a Lord Justice of Appeal sitting full time in the Court of Appeal. On the 28th July 2018 Sir Andrew succeeded Sir James Munby as President of the Family Division and Head of Family Justice; he is due to retire as President at Easter 2026.Together with the late David Hershman he is the co-author of a loose-leaf legal text book entitled “Children: Law and Practice”. In addition, he has contributed to other publications and lectured throughout the UK and abroad.Sir Andrew has been a trustee of YoungMinds (the national young person's mental health charity) and is Patron of HOPE Family Centre (Bromyard) and of a prisoner support charity ‘Not Beyond Redemption'. In addition to being Chancellor of the Diocese of Exeter, Sir Andrew was Chairman of the Church of England Clergy Discipline Commission and President of Clergy Discipline Tribunals for 5 years until 2019. He has been a native of Herefordshire and Worcestershire for over 35 years and is a lay canon of Hereford Cathedral.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/grays-inn-26Gresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Children's books may look simple on the surface, but creating one that resonates with young readers takes far more than a good idea. This week on Fully Booked, educator and children's author Bridget Gengler explains why writing for children requires purpose, empathy, and a deep understanding of what young readers truly need. She argues that writing for young minds is about more than entertaining or teaching in the moment, but about inspiring a lifelong love of reading. Drawing on more than 30 years in the classroom, Bridget shares how she uses her students as beta readers, what their reactions have taught her about refining a story, and why the strongest children's books balance meaningful messages with engaging storytelling. From collaborating with illustrators to learning how young readers interact with every page, today's conversation is packed with practical insights for authors hoping to connect more deeply with young minds and keep them coming back for more.    Bridget Gengler https://bridgetgengler.com/   Hidden Gems Need our help publishing or marketing your book?  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/author-services/   All episode details and links:  https://www.hiddengemsbooks.com/podcast

In this episode, a group of students from Islay High School have created their own podcast. They did so as part of their journalism and media studies, as a result of a two day Media Skills programme sponsored at the High School by the National Union of Journalists and led by Fiona Macdonald, a well known BBC broadcaster and journalist with the World Service. During the workshop, she worked closely with all attendees, who included a couple of This Is Islay podcasters, but this episode is largely a result of the students who participated. These students chose to debate the impact of both the current global downturn in the whisky market and the advance of AI in terms of their future employment prospects.Acknowledgements:Special thanks to the high school students who participated in the media skills workshop and provided their consent to the development and release of this podcast episode.Many thanks also to BBC Senior Journalist Fiona Macdonald for leading the two-day workshop at Islay High School and supporting our budding journalists, and the NUJ for supporting the programme which brought her to Islay.Thank you to Islay High School for sponsoring the workshop and allowing use of its facilities.This Is Islay: Jean MacLellan, Richard Mansbridge (workshop participants), Jolyon Thurgood (introduction)Production: Gordon BerminghamMusic by Suno.com https://suno.com/song/d9f55fd3-5c28-416f-807f-c1776465f6ebDISCLAIMERIt must be stressed that what we did together was a role play which does not necessarily reflect the views of those of us who participated.

She talks about how her life in Georgia, her family, and her everyday experiences became the foundation for books that encourage, educate, and uplift young readers. Show notes often work best when they offer a short, engaging summary that gives listeners a clear sense of the episode's focus and value.A major thread in the conversation is her family's beekeeping life and how that world sparked the idea for Zeke becomes a beekeeper. Shymara explains what she has learned through beekeeper associations, monthly meetings, and hands-on care for their hives, while also showing how bees became more than a topic and turned into a meaningful teaching tool for children. She connects bee safety, responsibility, nature, honey, and the role bees play in a family business to lessons young readers can understand and remember.She also reflects on writing Zeke's quest for courage, a story built around her son's struggles with spelling and the encouragement her family wanted to give him. The book blends story, spelling practice, and comprehension in a way that makes learning feel fun and personal. Shymara shares how seeing children respond to the book, especially during school visits, confirmed for her that stories can help kids feel capable and supported.The episode also explores the realities of self-publishing, finding the right illustrator, protecting creative ownership, and using real life as inspiration for children's books. Shymara offers insight into writing with intention, choosing collaborators carefully, and staying open to growth as an author. She closes with plans for a bilingual book and a young adult project, showing that her creativity is still expanding.Key takeaway: Shymara's work is rooted in the belief that children need stories that reflect real life, build confidence, and remind them that their voices matter.https://www.instagram.com/shymara_medina/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Youth mental health isn't just struggling—it's in full crisis mode. In this episode, the hosts sit down with The Truthful Therapist to unpack what's really happening beneath the surface of rising anxiety, depression, and behavioral challenges in children. They challenge conventional narratives around therapy, diagnosis, and treatment—questioning whether current systems are truly helping kids or unintentionally making things worse. The conversation dives into the role of family dynamics, environment, overdiagnosis, and the increasing medicalization of normal childhood struggles. This episode pulls back the curtain on modern mental health approaches and asks a bigger question: Are we treating kids—or labeling them? Key Topics Discussed The growing youth mental health crisis and what's driving it Why more access to therapy isn't always translating into better outcomes The difference between normal childhood struggles vs. clinical conditions How labels and diagnoses can shape identity—and sometimes limit it The role of family systems, parenting, and environment in mental health Concerns around overmedication and one-size-fits-all treatment models What kids actually need (that often gets overlooked) How to build resilience instead of dependency on systems Key Takeaways Mental health challenges in kids are rising, influenced by social, environmental, and systemic factors—not just biology Not every emotional struggle requires a diagnosis—context matters Over-labeling can unintentionally create long-term identity limitations Family involvement is critical—kids don't exist in isolation Effective care should focus on skills, resilience, and environment, not just symptoms There is a growing gap between access to care and quality of outcomes Memorable Moments The breakdown of how “help” can sometimes reinforce the problem Real-world examples of kids being misdiagnosed or overtreated The discussion on how modern culture is shaping fragile coping mechanisms A candid look at therapy trends that may be missing the mark About the Guest Pamela Garfield-Jaeger is a licensed clinical social worker based in California with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. Known online as The Truthful Therapist, she brings a direct, no-nonsense perspective to today's most controversial topics in youth mental health. Pamela is the author of A Practical Approach to Gender Distress, where she provides guidance for parents navigating complex and often confusing mental health landscapes. Her work focuses on helping families move beyond labels and toward practical, grounded strategies that support long-term emotional well-being. She is a strong advocate for critical thinking in mental health care—encouraging parents and professionals alike to question assumptions, prioritize context, and focus on resilience-building over quick diagnoses.

The conversation highlights the impact the program is having in the community, how it's helping shape young minds, and why mentorship and positive outlets are so important for today's youth.

Mindfulness stops being a buzzword when kids learn to use it in real time to calm their bodies, name their feelings, and stay connected to their breath when life gets loud.   Leslie sits down with Julie Freeman, Executive Director of KNOWTICE, to talk about how mindfulness for kids can shape the kind of self-awareness that leads to genuine self-confidence. Julie shares how small, repeatable moments, like pausing to notice a feeling or grounding the body before reacting, help children manage stress, stay present, and access their best thinking. When mindfulness starts early, kids learn they have control over their reactions, which builds emotional strength that grows with them through adolescence and adulthood.   The conversation goes beyond quiet moments and breathing exercises to reveal how these early lessons create confident teens who trust themselves and understand their emotions. Leslie and Julie also reflect on how this work ripples forward into adulthood, showing up in the way confident women lead, parent, and care for themselves. By teaching kids mindfulness now, we give them tools to feel steady in uncertainty and connected to who they are - a foundation every confident person stands on.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Mindfulness Matters Now 05:28 KNOWTICE Origin Story and Julie Freeman's Path 11:32 Why Start Early Mindfulness for Kids and Brain Development 16:54 Classroom Basics Mindful Body Stillness and Calming Techniques 22:23 Mindful Parenting and Raising Confident Teens 31:24 The 90-Second Rule and Managing Anxiety in Real Time 43:17 From Mindful Kids to Confident Women 45:42 How to Bring KNOWTICE to Your School Connect with Julie Freeman: Learn More About KNOWTICE Connect with Leslie Randolph: Help your teen cultivate confidence!

Two crimes. Two young lives. Two moments of sheer panic that turned fatal. A musician whose Tesla held the body of a missing 15-year-old. A college cheerleader who hid her newborn in a closet, then went out for fast food. In this extended Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissect the chilling psychology behind both the D4vd / Celeste Rivas Hernandez and Laken Snelling cases — revealing how fear, shame, and an underdeveloped brain can twist reality into delusion. Why do young people believe they can hide what can't be hidden? What happens in the mind when panic flips the switch from reason to denial? And what does neuroscience tell us about the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that's supposed to see the bigger picture — simply not being ready yet? This isn't about monsters. It's about immaturity, fear, and the illusion of control. It's about how a single impulsive act — followed by a catastrophic cover-up — can change everything. Raw, honest, and psychologically deep, this episode shows that the scariest thing about these crimes isn't the violence. It's how human the decisions behind them really are. #HiddenKillers #D4vd #LakenSnelling #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfCrime #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #ImpulseControl #BrainDevelopment #FearAndDenial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A college cheerleader who hid her newborn in a closet, then went out for fast food. In this extended Hidden Killers episode, Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dissect the chilling psychology behind both the D4vd / Celeste Rivas Hernandez and Laken Snelling cases — revealing how fear, shame, and an underdeveloped brain can twist reality into delusion. Why do young people believe they can hide what can't be hidden? What happens in the mind when panic flips the switch from reason to denial? And what does neuroscience tell us about the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that's supposed to see the bigger picture — simply not being ready yet? This isn't about monsters. It's about immaturity, fear, and the illusion of control. It's about how a single impulsive act — followed by a catastrophic cover-up — can change everything. Raw, honest, and psychologically deep, this episode shows that the scariest thing about these crimes isn't the violence. It's how human the decisions behind them really are. #HiddenKillers #D4vd #LakenSnelling #TrueCrime #PsychologyOfCrime #ShavaunScott #TonyBrueski #ImpulseControl #BrainDevelopment #FearAndDenial Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, Dr. Kathy discusses the generational differences in patience and the impact of artificial intelligence on adolescent brain development. She highlights how older generations have a default of patience, having been raised in an era where waiting was the norm, while younger generations often expect instant gratification. Dr. Kathy dives into concerns surrounding the adolescent brain, particularly the development of the prefrontal cortex during these formative years, and how AI may be influencing this process. She raises critical questions about the potential for AI to serve as a "prosthetic for thinking," possibly detracting from social interactions and cognitive growth. Join us as we explore these pressing issues and consider their implications for the future of our children.
