Welcome to TALK MENTAL WELL-BEING IN TIMES OF STRESS with FIONNUALA SWEENEY and PROFESSOR IAN ROBERTSON.

The Covid-19 virus is here to stay for a while. For how long, we don't know. It's that uncertainty as much as anything else that causes people to worry almost as much as the deadly impact the virus is having on our family, friends, healthcare systems and economies.

Atlantic Fellow FIONNUALA SWEENEY speaks to PROFESSOR IAN ROBERTSON, neuroscientist and Co-director of the Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity College, Dublin, about what happens in our brains during times of mental pressure and how we can better cope during this time of collective stress

A livestream seminar hosted by the ATLANTIC INSTITUTE at Rhodes House, Oxford.

The panel explores the assumptions that different countries make about who should care for our sick, the elderly or children in society. Unpaid women around the world grease the wheels of the global economy, so what would it look like to redesign a society around the value of care and change the gender imbalance?

They consider what agencies and changes in governmental policies might shift assumptions about gender stereotypes of ‘women’s work’ and what is ‘paid’ and ‘unpaid’ in modern economies. Cuba has a strong focus on care provision, so could other nations learn lessons from the value that Cuba places on care?
