Would a monthly listing of upcoming mental health webinars be useful to you? The National HealthCare Council for the Trauma-informed school programs for youth Homeless – help bring about reform of the health care system to best serve the needs of people who are homeless, to work in alliance with others whose broader purpose is to eliminate homelessness, and to provide support to Council members. Their collective experience spans clinical psychology, public health, cognitive neuroscience, and psychopathology. This webinar series—hosted by the European Federation of Psychologist’s Associations AISBL (EFPA)—brings together experts, researchers, and practitioners to explore the future of mental health through the lenses of prevention, systems thinking, and digital innovation. Reach out to colleagues, mentors, or fellow students and ask about their experiences with psychology webinars.
This webinar series was co-sponsored by the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and UCSF Office of Alumni Relations with support from John McCoy and Nicholas Roznovsky. By popular demand, in 2021 we held a second series of webinars based on last year’s Emotional Well-Being During the COVID-19 Crisis for Health Care Providers series. In addition to these hour-long webinars, we have made a series of mini-videos on related topics.
The first is that we are only limited to those individuals who have a family history in the first place, and the second is that we know that family risk gives us very low relative risk in general — two, three to five maybe in the case of depression. In the case of depression and many other disorders I think the most relevantly used marker of risk is family history, but there’s a lot of limitations with that. Or we can use predictive models to find those who are at risk even when they don’t have any symptoms. I think this has been the main approach, for instance, for schizophrenia in high-risk individuals that have sub-threshold symptoms. So we have (audio drop) one is indicated, so those that have minimal but detectable signs or symptoms that foreshadow a future mental disorder. We have selective and indicated in the promotion of health.
Here you’ll find our wide range of free webinars, covering COVID-19 and many other topics. This webinar series, co-sponsored by the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, UCSF Office of Alumni Relations, Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, Mindsight Institute, and the John W. Brick Mental Health Foundation, was held in the spring of 2020. This webinar series for UCSF staff is co-sponsored by the UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, UCSF Staff Assembly, UCSF Administrative Management Professionals, Diversity & Inclusion Certificate Program Alumni, and Council on Campus Climate, Culture and Inclusion (4CI) Staff Subcommittee. The climate crisis is impacting health, and health care professionals have a pivotal role as advocates for change.
There are other scores that I know for schizophrenia and other mental health outcomes. But there’s a lot of ways to measure predictions, there’s calibration, a lot of different ways of measuring how well you can predict mental health outcomes. For you, Arthur, how predictable are these mental health illnesses, in your opinion?
