#36 - Mental Health Literacy w/ Sharon Lambert

Dr Sharon Lambert is a lecturer in the School of Applied Psychology in UCC. Sharon’s research interests revolve primarily around inclusion psychology/inclusion health in the areas of mental health, substance dependence, homelessness and trauma and consequent impacts on service design and delivery and is regularly published in peer-reviewed journals and delivers seminars. We discussed how podcasting has made mental health and wellbeing information more accessible and understandable for listeners and a new study has proved that they can in fact improve mental health literacy. The paper, published by Dr Lambert and Naoise Ó Caoilte from UCC, shows that access to information through podcasts has decreased stigma and increased help-seeking amongst listeners. We also talk about topics including stress, mental health, mens mental health, trauma and looking at change on the individual and societal level.If you want to support the podcast please Buy us a Coffee or check out our social media channels to purchase our new Coffee tumblrs.Join us for Movember and Grow a Mo!Instagram: @soulbrewpodcastFacebook: @soulbrewpodcastTik Tok: @soulbrewpodcastTwitter: @soulrewpodcastEmail: [email protected] Hosted on Acast.
