Lisa Heng is a junior at the University of Louisville double majoring in Public Health and Psychology. As a Cambodian American, she grew up observing how intergenerational trauma and the barriers to mental healthcare access have led to worsened health outcomes in her community. She is currently working with the Asia Institute-Crane House to promote trauma-informed, culturally competent care from or 1st-generation Asian immigrants in Kentucky. She can be reached via her email: [email protected]

In this episode we explore Lisa's story - from her personal history that led up to her academic goals, life as an ethnic minority university student, starting college at the onset of the pandemic, and many topics related to her college experience. For audience members who are in the early stages of their academic pursuits, I feel there's a lot to learn from Lisa's experiences.

In light of recent U.S. mass shooting events, the first person I could think of to bring to speak on this was Dr. Bob Baugher.  We spoke in an earlier episode about grief, loss and suicide here.  Many of the principles discussed by Dr. Bob can be applied to many life situations, not just in response to mass shootings. 

* Warning - Given the sensitive subject matter in this episode,  please lean on your support system, or utilize local mental health resources if needed.  No podcast, including this one, should act as a substitute for your own mental health and healthcare.

In this episode I chat with Private Practice Psychologist and author, Dr. Gerald Drose.  Dr. Drose is based in Atlanta, and runs a successful private practice with four locations and at least 30 therapists.  We discuss what inspired him to write his fiction memoir, chat about various characters in the book, and dive deeper into contemporary issues in Clinical Psychology - such as how his practice has changed due to the pandemic.  As a person who struggles with long form reading (we talk about that, too), I genuinely enjoyed reading his book.

I'm taking this opportunity to vent a bit, about crappy instructors - so students, I hope you'll find the suggestions helpful, and for instructors, well, just don't be a d*ck.
