You won't want to miss the next WellRead book club. We'll be discussing "Hidden Valley Road" by Robert Kolker. Back in the 1950s and 60s, an American family had 12 children in all, with six of 10 boys developing schizophrenia. It's a well-written and well-researched book that explores the genetic-environmental factors associated with many mental illnesses; demonstrates the ways in which mental illness affects the entire family; highlights early misguided treatments; and confronts the painful stigmas we still see today. We'll meet on Oct. 17th at HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology. Open to all, but space is limited so sign up today!

How Trauma Affects the Brain 🧠 Trauma leaves a lasting impact not only emotionally but also physically, altering key areas of the brain like the prefrontal cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus. These changes can lead to difficulties in decision-making, emotional regulation, heightened anxiety, and challenges with memory and learning. At the MENATA Conference, we’ll delve deeper into the effects of trauma and ways to promote healing. Join us from November 15th - 17th to learn more and help advance trauma-informed care in the MENA region.

Rethinking Generational Trauma🤔: An ache unexplainable? 🧠 ⁉️ Generational trauma is a complex, deeply-rooted issue that affects families and communities in profound ways. It transcends time, shaping our behaviors, relationships, and even our health. Yet, despite its significance, much of the discourse around it remains qualitative—rich in personal narratives but lacking in measurable data. I wonder what it would look like if we could quantify the impact of generational trauma. How might statistics illuminate the struggles faced by children and adults who carry the weight of pain often without understanding its origins? What if we could measure the emotional scars that manifest as anxiety, depression, and a sense of hopelessness? And oh how they need a framework that recognizes the gravity of their experiences. Could a shift towards quantifying generational trauma empower us to approach healing with a structured framework? Would it allow us to identify patterns and develop targeted interventions specifically tailored to support the vulnerable? I wonder how many lives could be transformed if we treated generational trauma as a quantifiable. What doors could it open for research, and support systems designed to genuinely address the wounds passed down through generations? This is not just about numbers; it’s about how can we validate the experiences of people who fear for their future and the ones who wonder why they feel an ache they can’t explain? I wonder if we owe it to ourselves and future generations to recognize the weight of this trauma and seek solutions informed by both data and empathy. Or am i too far fetched?🧑⚕️🤔 #mentalhealth #generationaltrauma #research #medical #medicine #trauma #psychologicalissues
