What can we do to deal with this funding crisis in academic health and get through it with balance, equanimity and resilience?
Mindfulness-based stress reduction and other mental health aspects that can help deal with the funding challenges in academic health are explored in this week’s edition of the Faculty Factory Podcast with our guest Neda Gould, PhD.
“It’s tapping into our creativity and also recognizing that we will also get through this. It’s just how can we get through it with some balance and equanimity and resilience?” Dr. Gould said.
In this funding climate, with job security concerns top of mind, there are resources along the lines of support groups and other available tools to explore because we all have to keep fortifying forward.
No one has all the answers, but Dr. Gould takes us through many small changes we can work on to continue to enjoy life despite these external stressors.
Dr. Gould is Director of the Mindfulness Program and Associate Director of the Bayview Anxiety Disorders Clinic, both in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. About The Johns Hopkins Mindfulness Program.
In March 2020, Dr. Gould joined the Faculty Factory Podcast (remotely, of course) and delivered two very memorable episodes to help our community cope with the emerging anxiety of the time, for which we are forever grateful.
