June 2024’s MHA YouTube channel video releases explored LGBTQ+ diversity, the relationship between neurodiversity and complex child behaviour, and applying a neuroscience lens on social factors such as racism and misinformation.
- Combating Racism, Misinformation & Disinformation with Neuroscience (watch video). Dr. Chad Luke explores the brain-based principles at the intersection of neuroscience, CBT and sociology, which can help combat racism, misinformation and disinformation – including the inherent bias within our nervous system to prioritise survival and speed over connection and accuracy. Extracted from Mental Health Academy’s Fireside interview, Translating Neuroscience into Clinical Practice.
- Q&A – Social Factors & Epigenetics in Neuroscience (watch video). Dr. Chad Luke addresses the fascinating intricacies of epigenetics & social influence on the human brain, including cultural inheritance, generational trauma, environmental impact & experience-dependent plasticity. Extracted from Mental Health Academy’s Fireside interview, Translating Neuroscience into Clinical Practice.
- Complex & Neurodiverse Kids and Behaviour Issues: What’s Really Going On? (watch video). Elaine Taylor-Klaus offers insights into the underlying issues behind problem behaviour in complex, neurodiverse children, as part of her solutions-focused coaching approach to overcoming school refusal and disengagement. Extracted from the Mental Health Academy course, A Coach-Approach to Reducing School Refusal & Disengagement in Complex Students.
- LGBTQ+ Diversity: Affirmation vs Inclusion (watch video). Gus Raymond shares how to ensure that support movements for trans and LGBTQ+ individuals can avoid being performative and instead, dive deep beyond the merely affirmative to a richer state of inclusivity.
