    Reducing the impact of trauma with Dr. Sheila Rauch

    Episode Notes Dr. Kimberly Eck sits down with Dr. Sheila Rauch to discuss processing trauma.   In this episode, Dr. Rauch acknowledges that most people will experience at least one trauma in their life. Her work focuses on reducing the impacts of trauma by equipping therapists with evidence-based practices and creating resources for people to access and process trauma on their own.    Dr. Rauch shares that getting stuck in trauma can lead to a host of issues, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, substance use and even homelessness.  In an example, Dr. Rauch states that 40 years of research shows that treatments that work best to address PTSD involve approaching memories.  Yet, most people will not seek treatment.    Dr. Rauch along with Dr. Barbara Rothbaum are developing tools to help eliminate access barriers to mental health support.  Two of these resources, app Messy Memories and book Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences, help individuals engage in the work of emotional processing themselves.   Dr. Rauch has long-term goals for Messy Memories to expand into a larger platform and for emotional processing to become widely accepted as a low to no cost option.     Dr. Rauch is the Mark & Barbara Klein Distinguished Professor in Mind-Body Medicine and Deputy Director of the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program at the Emory University School of Medicine.  Dr. Rauch has an MA in Psychology and PhD Clinical Psychology from the University of North Dakota.  She is board certified in behavioral and cognitive psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology.   Stay connected to Dr. Rauch and her work by reviewing the resources and links provided below.   Special Message – In honor of Veterans Day, we’d like to thank all our veterans for their service and sacrifice.  If you are a veteran or know a veteran who needs mental health support, please visit VA Help for Veterans or the Emory Healthcare Veterans Program or contact the Veterans Crisis Line by dialing 988 then pressing 1.   Links About Dr. Sheila Rauch Book – Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences Video – Making Meaning of Difficult Experiences Rauch PEACE Lab Emory Healthcare Veterans Program Trauma and Anxiety Recovery Program Messy Memories App - Apple Devices         Android Devices Veterans Mental Health Support   If you are an Emory researcher who would like to be featured on our podcast or you want to nominate an Emory researcher, write to us at researchdevelopment@emory.edu Find out more at https://impact-in-progress.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Transforming How Clergy Respond To Domestic Violence With Rev. Raushanah Butler

    Episode Notes Dr. Kimberly Eck sits down with Rev. Raushanah Butler to discuss processing trauma.   In this episode, Rev. Butler discusses the important work she is doing of equipping faith leaders to courageously and holistically respond to members in their community who are experiencing domestic violence.   Rev. Butler states that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will experience domestic violence in their lifetime.  It is expected that faith leaders will encounter someone who is experiencing or has experienced domestic violence.  These faith-based leaders will need tools to be able to support these individuals.   Rev. Butler breaks down the two main reasons faith leaders are not responding well to domestic violence and shares her future goals of expanding her training work to support these leaders.  The interfaith training for chaplains currently underway consists of three modules that she’d like to turn into a training manual and eventually a national program.    Rev. Butler's overall goal is to see community faith leaders move from passive bystanders to active responders by better exposure to and utilization of domestic violence tools and resources.   Rev. Butler is the Director of Alumni Engagement at the Emory University Candler School of Theology. Rev. Butler has an MPM and MBA from the Devry University Keller Graduate School and an MDiv from Columbia Theological Seminary. Rev. Butler is pursuing Doctor of Ministry in Church Leadership and Community Witness at the Emory University Candler School of Theology.   Stay connected to Rev. Butler and her work by reviewing the resources and links provided below.   Special Message – This episode is airing during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.  If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at  1.800.799.7233 or www.thehotline.org   Links About Rev.

    Building trust in science with Rose Hayes

    Episode Notes Dr. Kimberly Eck sits down with Rose Hayes to discuss her work in increasing trust in science by designing and testing environmental health messages that are fun, memorable and easy to understand.    In this episode, Rose shares research from the Pew Research Center that suggests 50% of Americans feel scientists do not communicate well.   Often, scientists and clinicians speak to one another, rather than crafting lifesaving messages with/for the public.   Rose wants to change that culture and create an expectation that scientific and clinical knowledge should be accessible to all. She and her team work to understand the factors that lead people to feel confused about and frustrated by scientific messaging.   Rose identifies several challenges to communicating science.  She is partnering with colleagues from the Emory University School of Nursing, Emory Rollins School of Public Health, and the University of Georgia as part of the Children’s Environmental Health Research and Translation Network (CEHRT).  This NIH funded network of academic health centers is committed to translating science with and for the public.  Some of the group’s recent work has included developing and testing a model for public engagement known as the Public Knowledge Exchange Model.  This model connects scientists, community organizations and major media organizations to collaborate on accessible human-centered messaging about science.   Rose and colleagues have future plans to collaborate with people who do not regularly consume science messaging, including those who may have resistance to science messaging.  They are also interested in developing and testing new methods to identify the impact and reach of public-facing communications.   Rose Hayes is a nurse, writer, and Director of Engagement for the Emory School of Nursing.  She is also a PhD student, holds a Bachelor of Science (BSN) in Nursing from the University of Virginia and a Master of Arts from NYU Gallatin.   Stay connected to her work by reviewing the resources and links provided below.   Links Rose Hayes, MA, RN, BSN- LinkedIn Ideas Festival – Website Instagram Children’s Environmental Health Research and Translation Network   If you are an Emory researcher who would like to be featured on our podcast or you want to nominate an Emory researcher, write to us at researchdevelopment@emory.edu   Find out more at https://impact-in-progress.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Creating more compassionate schools with Dr. Tyralynn Frazier

    Episode Notes Dr. Kimberly Eck sits down with Dr. Tyralynn Frazier to discuss the importance of defining compassion, harnessing our capacity for compassion and cultivating compassion.    In this episode, Dr. Frazier shares reflections about evidence that supports compassion being rooted in the human evolutionary record and introduces the work she is establishing in the space of developmental science and educational implementation in schools.   Despite high educational achievement, anxiety, depression, and loneliness are now among the top five health concerns for children and adolescents, with the World Health Organization reporting that over 20% of youth worldwide experience mental health disorders. Through local work, Dr. Frazier has seen the power of compassion through measurable impact in perspective taking, empathic concern and intrinsic motivation in student populations.   Dr. Frazier has future plans for sustainably integrating compassion within education environments. Dr. Frazier’s work supports the understanding of how compassion-based programs work to create more compassionate systems.  Her vision involves implementing Social, Emotional and Ethical (SEE) learning, and Cognitively Based Compassion Training (CBCT) programs in school systems.  Developed by the Compassion Center at Emory University, these programs aim to support educators and positively impact students for their lifespan.  The Emory Compassion Center will soon launch its inaugural “Year of Compassion” which includes the launch of a new app.   Another exciting project that is currently underway is a developmental model of compassion where teachers support compassion cultivation by student developmental stage.    Dr. Frazier has an MPH in Epidemiology and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Anthropology from Emory University and is the Associate Research Scientist at Emory College in the Center for Contemplative Sciences and Compassion-Based Ethics.  As a medical anthropologist and public health scientist, Dr. Frazier specializes in the science of cultivating more compassionate schools around the world.   Stay connected to Dr. Frazier and her work by reviewing the resources and links provided below.   Links Dr. TyraLynn Frazier - LinkedIn Center for Contemplative Science and Compassion Based Ethics SEE Learning at Emory CBCT Compassion Training If you are an Emory researcher who would like to be featured on our podcast or you want to nominate an Emory researcher, write to us at researchdevelopment@emory.edu Find out more at https://impact-in-progress.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    Understanding Patients’ Everyday Experiences with Dr. Deanna Kaplan

    Episode Notes Dr. Kimberly Eck sits down with Dr. Deanna Kaplan to discuss her efforts in advancing personalized healthcare through the use of digital tools such as wearable tech and smartphone apps.    In this episode, Dr. Kaplan discusses the important work of her lab in leveraging digital tools to generate a more complete picture of a person’s health.  One such tool is the app, Fabla, developed in conjunction with the Clinical and Translational Science Alliance (CTSA) AppHatchery.  The app allows patients the ability to securely send voice memos to researchers, providing an avenue of quick-response, conversational information around health matters.    Studies show that about 70% of people with depression try more than one treatment before they find one that helps them.  Initially built for a clinical trial, Fabla has great potential to benefit individuals who experience depression, PTSD and even those in palliative care contexts and end-of-life stages.  Dr. Kaplan has future plans to continue expanding Fabla’s reach beyond clinical research.    Dr. Kaplan has been recently engaging in exciting work at the intersection of digital health tools and artificial intelligence, as well as, investigating the science of speech biomarkers.  Dr. Kaplan is hopeful that her work will underscore the importance of safety in delivering a personalized, responsive care approach in the healthcare system.   Dr. Kaplan is the Assistant Professor in Family and Preventive Medicine at the Emory University School of Medicine and is also the Director of Health Technologies for Emory Healthcare’s Spiritual Health Program.  Dr. Kaplan has an MA in Educational Psychology, a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arizona, and completed her clinical internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University.      Stay connected to Dr. Kaplan and her work by reviewing the resources and links provided below.   Links About Dr. Deanna Kaplan Dr. Deanna Kaplan - LinkedIn About Fabla The Emory HEAT Lab GACTSA AppHatchery   Find out more at https://impact-in-progress.pinecast.co This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
