In This Episode:



Recorded before a live audience, this conversation explores the intersection of psychology, social work, and mental health. The panel discusses what we really mean when we talk about &#8220;behavioral health&#8221; and how it differs from mental health, emphasizing the crucial role that environment, community, and social structures play in our well-being.



Key topics include:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The Power of Storytelling: How narratives help us understand our lives and connect with others in therapeutic and meaningful ways</li>



<li>Building Community: Why human connection is essential for mental wellness, especially in an age of increasing isolation and loneliness</li>



<li>Arts and Humanities in Healthcare: How literature, music, and creative expression foster empathy, prevent burnout, and improve patient outcomes</li>



<li>The Pace of Modern Life: Why slowing down and being present matters more than ever</li>



<li>Looking Forward: The promise and potential pitfalls of AI and new technologies in behavioral health</li>
</ul>



The conversation also addresses Dean Cole&#8217;s work with the Parkinson&#8217;s community, the importance of face-to-face interaction in an increasingly digital world, and how universities can help create more inclusive, less reactive communities.
