'Stop separating physical health from mental health!—Encore episode of 'History. Culture. Trauma.' podcast Thursday

 

It is time, as a society, to stop separating mental health from physical health.

“Research has found that there is credibility to the term ‘mind-body connection’. There is a clear link between our thoughts, feelings, emotions and our physical body. At this point, should we, as a society, stop separating mental health and physical health? Are they not one in the same?” said Ingrid Cockhren, PACEs Connection CEO and co-host of the podcast History. Culture. Trauma.

Prince, a former child therapist, relies on her extensive training and more than 20 years’ experience as a program evaluator of education, community-based youth programming, mental health, and the intersections of the disciplines as she and Cockhren discuss the mind-body connection.

Prince’s core expertise is in creating programs and initiatives that yield potential for change. Her work has included evaluating youth development studies, trauma-informed training, educational equity focused programs and curriculum evaluation.

“In the community, Prince’s experience with research, policy, and reform is reflected in her deep commitment to advocating for social justice,” said Cockhren.

In her role contributing to and coordinating the PACEs Connection Creating Resilient Communities Accelerator, Prince supports PACEs Connection’s mission to help start and grow statewide and local community resilience initiatives.

Prince has mentored youth, including first-time offending juveniles and foster youth. She’s also been involved in community-based organizing against state violence, educational inequity, and lack of access to mental health supports, particularly for members of marginalized communities.

Prince was raised in such a marginalized community, in East Palo Alto, California, located in Silicon Valley. She currently lives in Sacramento, CA.

Prince’s educational experience includes extensive studies in education, counseling psychology, human development, and race and racism. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Wellesley College, her master’s in education from the University of Pennsylvania, and her doctorate from Stanford University. She has been on staff at PACEs Connection since 2017.

From my understanding, only a small percentage of Canadian physicians currently are integrating ACE-trauma science into the diagnoses and (usually chemical) treatments of patients.

Big Pharma profits, of course, from the perpetual sedation and/or concealment of ACE-trauma's formidable symptoms via tranquilizers and/or antidepressants.
