Last summer, Dr. Grant was invited to join the APA Coalition for Psychology in Schools & Education, which was commissioned by the Centers for Disease Control to create a series of adolescent psychology focused support manuals on behalf of the DASH funded APA Safe and Supportive Schools Primers Project. Don and his team completed the last of these manuals in November, with the entire series to be distributed by the CDC to schools, administrators, and educators nationwide.

Don’s current research includes investigations of potential effects of social media, cyberbullying, and device driven attachment bonds on adolescents, teens, young adults, families, and our culture/relationships-at-large.

In this episode, Rachel and Arthur interview Dr David Wiss about the science of mindful eating, trauma, and societal norms around food. Dr Wiss discusses how to cultivate new habits around nutrition, so you can build a new healthy positive relationship to the food you put in your body.
