KEYNOTE SPOTLIGHT: April R. Smith, Ph.D. - Associate Professor at Auburn University Dr. Smith's Keynote Session will be “One of Us Is Not Like the Other: Extreme Individual Differences in Risk Factors for Suicidal Ideation in Service Members and Veterans”. Suicidal thoughts and behaviors are elevated among active-duty service members (ADSM) and Veterans compared to the general population. Hence, it is a priority to examine maintenance factors underlying suicidality among ADSM and Veterans in order to develop effective, targeted interventions. In particular, interpersonal risk factors, hopelessness, and overarousal have been robustly connected to suicidal ideation and intent. Join us April 3-4, 2024 in Boulder, Colorado to hear the results of the network analysis completed with veterans and what the findings concluded. https://lnkd.in/gHHB6Vuy #bridgingthedivide #suicideprevention #awareness #boulder

As part of the ‘Professor Judy Dunn Webinar Series’ we are delighted to welcome Professor Stephen Scott, Consultant Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, Professor of Child Health and Behaviour at IoPPN, KCL, and ACAMH President. https://lnkd.in/ekhNHSqf About the session Firstly, there will be a brief introduction about the science behind disruptive behaviour and why it is important to get on top of it early if possible. Then there will be a description of how parents can manage this, including videotapes of the methods ‘Love and Limits’. Finally there will be a summary of the evidence base underpinning these techniques, showing that if they are implemented, they have long-lasting effects. Key learning takeaways - To understand the harmful long-term effects of disruptive behaviour if it is not treated - To see some of the techniques that are effective in action on videotapes - To become familiar with some of the objective evidence about what works #ConductDisorder #MentalHealth #Attachment

Dr. Kristen Hassmiller Lich and PhD Candidate Doyoung (Kelly) Kim, MSc have have been awarded HPDP's Planning Grant to study the relational dynamics of emotional well-being among family caregivers and individuals with cognitive impairment. This pilot study aims to reveal critical pathways that influence the mental health of caregivers and care recipients, paving the way for future interventions to support both groups.

I'm excited to share an upcoming seminar that promises to be both enlightening and impactful! Join us on June 14th for "Somatic Experiencing in Disaster Response: Research & Applications." We will share information on SE applications in clinical settings, schools, and more, with insights from recent empirical research. https://lnkd.in/dkPk9T27 #SomaticExperiencing #MentalHealth #TherapistTraining #DisasterResponse

Anti-racism isn't just a title; it's a journey of learning and understanding. Claiming it without this process undermines its essence. On August 20th, I'll explore the deep roots of colonialism and racism, and their ongoing impact on society, institutions and individuals. Join me for a transformative session, led from the heart of the ethnic minority and mental health communities. Expect discomfort. Expect thought and emotion. Expect transformation. www.ppdh.co.uk/cpd

I am grateful to Rachel Yehuda and the Parsons for their commitment to psychedelic science. This extraordinary community of pioneering researchers, philanthropists, advocates and traumatic injury victims work tirelessly to explore how medicines like MDMA create an optimal mental state to catalyze trauma recovery. As a decades-long PTSD sufferer who continues to experience a complete recovery after participating in the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) MAPP2 Phase 3 MDMA clinical trial, I work to raise awareness that psychedelic therapies also effectively address complex traumatic injuries stemming from childhood sexual assault and gender violence. Anyone impacted by #MeToo should tune in as we move toward a paradigm of #MeHealed. As a neuroscientist, Dr. Yehuda translates precisely how these psychedelic compounds activate the mind to be receptive to profound change. Once the mind is opened to a new possibility, guided psychotherapy can result in a massive shift in perspective because trauma victims can finally overcome the default fight or flight response. A gentle nudge over the hill can reset us on the path to recovery. A safe setting is vital while in this altered mental state. Victims can remain stuck in their trauma state if they are reinjured while in their trauma recovery. Let's fully explore how the sources of traumatic injury impact recovery while fully embracing the extraordinary properties of the various psychedelic mechanisms. Support Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), #psychedelicmedicine for #mentalhealth, #traumarecovery, Protea Foundation and humans everywhere who deserve a wide path back from traumatic injury.

On January 6th, an appropriate time to reflect on how we heal our broken society. When people break down, we turn to medicine. When culture becomes the concern, we should turn our focus to public health. A public health approach to extremism, disinformation, and growing hate builds resilience and strengthens communities. It's the long-term approach to rebuild our society. And if you want to know what the details look like as to how we get there, here's a good place to start, with Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab (PERIL): https://lnkd.in/g2Xzr5a4
