  • Improvised Minds Podcast - Episode 4: Mental health for kids and how to gauge their mental health before they return to school.
    Jul 31 2022

    Do you know what to do when your child starts to show signs of depression or anxiety? Or perhaps your child has a hard time making friends and staying focused in classes? Are you unsure how to support them and help them feel better? These are all common reactions when it comes to the newness of a child entering school. It’s also one of the most challenging times as parents. Even if you’ve done your research, read parent blogs, and watched every YouTube video on self-care for children, the transition can still be overwhelming. Maintaining balance during this phase is no easy feat -- but it’s necessary. And with so much change, it can be even more difficult for children who aren’t used to independence or being around other people all the time.

  • Improvised Minds Podcast - Episode 3: The mental health of men has been stigmatized for years, but why?
    Jul 25 2022

    The mental health of men has been an oft-neglected topic for many years. In part, this is because of the stigma surrounding mental health in general, and in part because of the societal expectation that men should be "strong" and "tough." However, mental health is vital for all people, regardless of gender. Men are just as susceptible to mental health issues as women, but they are often less likely to seek help due to the aforementioned stigma. This is a serious problem, as mental health issues can have a profound and negative impact on all areas of life.

  • Improvised Minds Podcast - Episode 2: The science behind the therapeutic effects of psychedelics.
    Jul 18 2022

    A growing body of peer-reviewed scientific research suggests that psychedelic drugs, such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms, have strong therapeutic value. These substances alter the state of consciousness by binding with specific receptors in the brain. The effects vary from person to person, but they generally include altered perceptions, euphoria, reduced anxiety, and a sense of connection to self and others. Psychedelics have been used for millennia to explore inner experience from ancient mystical practices such as meditation and prayer to modern psychology clinics like 12-step programs for addiction recovery. In fact, it’s not uncommon for people who use psychedelics to go on to study psychology or pursue other mental health professions where this research is regularly used as a tool in therapy. New research on how these drugs work has yielded some interesting insights into their potential therapeutic benefits.
