For many years now, college students have been experiencing a mental health crisis. The events of the past year have only worsened this crisis, and according to experts, it’s not getting better. Transitioning from adolescence into adulthood while simultaneously transitioning from high-school to university living is never going to be easy, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be meaningful and worthwhile. Dr. Nic Hooper, an expert in clinical psychology, wrote The Unbreakable Student as a guide to help students navigate these transitions in meaningful, value-informed ways. On this episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Nic and Debbie discuss the unique challenges university students face and how values can help students overcome those challenges. Join us for practical advice on embracing your university adventure today! . . . . #booklovers #mightywomen #selfcompassion #mentalhealthmatters #brave #courage #socialanxiety #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts #podcastlife #mentalhealth #mindfulness #values #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #stressreduction #coping #anxiety #psychology #psychologistsofinstagram #psychologyofhappiness #happylife #happiness #mindfulmoments #happywisdom

Humans have always struggled with addictive substances. However, as evidenced by the opioid overdose epidemic and due in part to harmful policies like those from The War on Drugs that disproportionately affect individuals from minority communities, problems of addiction have worsened in recent years. Jessica Lahey, author of The Addiction Inoculation and The Gift of Failure, is an expert in education and has spent five years teaching in a drug and alcohol rehab for adolescents. In this episode of Psychologists Off the Clock, Jessica and Jill discuss risks and protective factors for addiction. Here (and in her book!) Jessica breaks down the most recent research on addiction in digestible, accessible ways. Join us to learn how you can reduce risk, increase protective factors, and better support your child in their experiences with drugs and alcohol today!  . . . . . #booklovers #mightywomen #selfcompassion #mentalhealthmatters #brave #courage #socialanxiety #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts #podcastlife #mentalhealth #mindfulness #values #acceptanceandcommitmenttherapy #stressreduction #coping #anxiety #psychology #psychologistsofinstagram #psychologyofhappiness #happylife #happiness #mindfulmoments #happywisdom

“Gender and sexual minorities face unique concerns and, according to research, are actually more likely to want and seek therapeutic help due to greater levels of psychological distress. But research also shows that many psychologists and therapists do not feel adequately educated or efficacious discussing topics related to sexuality and gender in clinical practice.” - Dr. Matthew Skinta In honor of this month, we’d like to highlight a very special episode on Gender and Sexual Minorities where we interviewed Aisling Leonard-Curtin and Matthew D. Skinta, co-editors of Mindfulness and Acceptance for Gender and Sexual Minorities: A Clinician’s Guide to Fostering Compassion, Connection, and Equality Using Contextual Strategies. In this episode, the emotional impact current events can have for gender and sexual minorities, coming out with compassion, issues of shame, rejection, and minority stress that can arise, promoting resilience among gender and sexual minorities, and much, much more!
