I joined the incredible @ElissaNadworny on Consider This @NPR to talk about Love, Loss and Resilience and following the stories of what happens when you're in Kindergarten but the world around you is at war. An important listen. npr.org/2023/04/14/117009457…
The fires in LA are devastating. I share some experiences and lessons learned from the Thomas Fire and Montecito Debris Flow in my article for Psychology Today.

So excited to share that my new book, w/ @LausellLinda, Transforming Careers in Mental Health for BIPOC: Strategies for Healing & Social Change, is out! 40 BIPOC leaders share how they create more inclusive, equitable, & affirming approaches to MH training, research, & practice.
ALT Flyer for the book that includes an endorsement from Dr. Derald Wing Sue that says, "A must-read book not only for students and professionals of color, but for well-intentioned colleagues who hold positions of power and privilege". There is an image of the book cover which depicts a group of BIPOC holding hands in a circle.

As the world’s first youth-led constitutional climate case addressing climate pollution from the transportation sector, ICP is proud to support the youth plaintiffs in this case!
We celebrate this win alongside the rest of Hawaiʻi and its impact far beyond it!

Great piece by @AmandaJoyceHall: "In the collective memory of the U.S., anti-Vietnam and anti-apartheid movements are generally seen as righteous struggles that U.S. institutions couldn’t help but get behind...This was revisionist history..."

It was a pleasure to speak with Scott Hennessee and Beth Farnsworth on Be Mindful @newschannel312 about a tough topic. Young people are inheriting a world that is full of turmoil and conflict. Can we do right by them?

"Santa Barbara can be a national leader in how to build a carbon-neutral city and transportation system, which must include safe e-biking. Imagine if we succeed! Fewer cars, less air pollution, reduced carbon emissions, and more freedom..." @TrisalynNelson @SBIndyNews

Spiderwick deals with important topics like mental health this was another great aspect of the series.Loved the magical/fantasy elements. A strong script thats better than other book to screen tv shows recently.The set design was great. Would recommend @mellanybarros @hollyblack
It was amazing to work with a talented creative team who put tireless care and thoughtfulness into the story and world of #Spiderwick. I'm inspired by @AronColeite @kaogirl @KatCoiro @TheRokuChannel
Please read this article from our incredible consultants on Spiderwick, Dr. Yalda T Uhls and Dr. Maryam Kia-Keating, on the importance and impact of mental health in storytelling.

Fun fact: the giant Seeing Stone in ep. 3 of Spiderwick was inspired by the Mên-an-Tol formation in Cornwall, which is said to have a fairy presence.✨🧝♀️🧌🧚♀️✨
