There is no productivity, no personal development, no career growth, no following your dreams & aspirations without feeling well & supported.
In this post, I want to introduce you to a new initiative by a community member : Please meet, Dr David Crepaz-Keay FRSPH; Head of Research and Applied Learning, Mental Health Foundation.
Just for clarity, the Dr. is academic, not clinical. (p.s. 100 respect points to for making this distinction) β I'm a Public Mental Health specialist and worked as senior mental health advisor to Public Health England's Every Mind Matters work.
β I have also been a technical advisor to the World Health Organisation, and have been a co-chair of the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics Ethics and Policy Committee.
β I am an editor of the Journal of Mental Health Training, Education and Practice
β and an editor of the Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Public Mental Health where I'm leaving the section on future and emerging issues which will include a number of chapters on:
π mental health in the digital age. π
β I also have a particular interest in self-management and power support - what we can do to look after our own and reach others' mental health.
Now... why I am super excited about this:
- brings years of expertise, and research to critical topics like the crossroads of mental health & digital age.
- I have never talked about this, but I have struggled with depression in 2021. I think my therapist did phenomenal work to get me functional & help me navigate it. But I was also blessed to have the means and access to this help.
- I hear so many cases of people using AI tools for their mental health. What will be the impacts of that is extremely interesting to me.
π¨ How to use this tag:
- Approach it with kind heart as any other place in this community.
- Share your ideas, what helped you & start discussions etc.
- Ask for help, share what is blocking you from progressing further, etc.
- will own the tag, so he is your first touch point, but I welcome anyone to join in the conversation & get involved!
βοΈ Question: Have you used/experienced AI helping you navigate challenging times/mental health?
