In this podcast episode, Dina Coughlan shares her experience as a mental health advocate with host Ashley Stewart, and they discuss how to support mental wellness in the workplace. This episode is sponsored by the New England Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Network (MHTTC).
Do you have lived experience of a mental health condition? Tell us what it means to be empowered! New England MHTTC is helping the Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation at Boston University recruit participants for a listening session focused on feeling empowered as a person with a mental health condition. The Center is especially interested in the opinions of people from diverse backgrounds. Who should attend: individuals with lived experience of a mental health condition from populations traditionally under-represented in behavioral health care evaluation efforts and who want to help look at a scale and make suggestions.
The listening session will be no more than one hour long, and participants will receive a $35 payment. The listening session will support the Center to re-validate the Empowerment Scale which has been widely used nationally and internationally in a variety of research studies. Given how long ago it was developed, the Center thinks the scale could benefit from a close look at the questions and wording. The goal is to get feedback from people with lived experience and then test the scale. For more info and if you are interested in participating, contact David Braverman at: [email protected].
Transgender people experience higher levels of depression, anxiety, and suicidality than cisgender people, and the highest rates of mental health challenges among people who identify as LGBTQIA+. Presenters will speak about their work in New England, share their strategies for and experiences with supporting mental health for transgender populations and answer questions from participants.
