The Horrific crime that killed Mahsa Amini has shocked women all across the globe.  This crime was committed on grounds of religious regulations, which, sadly, continues even now.

Many women have died in the hands of the moral police of #Iran.  Since centuries women have been subtly conditioned to think that they must be seen sexless for the sake of their own safety.

Even sometimes family members advice girls to remain unseen and unheard. Which they believe is the best way to protect her from gender violence.

Today’s episode of Saybrook Insights features the beginning of several university trustee spotlights in which we dig in with Board members about their backgrounds, their work in the community, and a little exploration as to why they joined the Saybrook Board of Trustees. Carmen and I had a wonderful discussion with Angelina Salazar, a newly elected trustee who joined us in the Fall of 2020. She is the CEO of the Western Healthcare Alliance and is passionate about rural healthcare, healthcare access, and ensuring that as many people who need healthcare can get it. She’s a visionary leader with strong ties to Southern California and to her current home state of Colorado. As she notes, we have much work to do nationwide where healthcare is concerned generally; and specifically, our rural communities are just as in need of excellent healthcare delivery as are our urban and suburban centers. Angelina and her team of dedicated hospital executives and practitioners are in fact doing the work to expand and enhance rural healthcare across America today as evidenced by the WHA. Great ideas around innovation and opportunity abound in this episode! Enjoy! 

Today’s episode of Saybrook Insights is a rebroadcast of our Women in Mental Health panel presentation hosted by the Divisions of Student Affairs and University Relations. We were pleased to have a candid discussion surrounding the challenges, stigmas, and potential solutions with these leaders who serve in different capacities across the mental healthcare landscape. Our facilitator is Saybrook faculty member, Dr. Walker Ladd and our panelists included Shayla Betts (LCSW), Dr. Kelly Serafini, Dr. Elizabeth Miller, and Saybrook’s new Dean of the College of Social Sciences, Dr. Charlotte Hamilton. Enjoy this robust discussion!

Ep. 9: Today, Carmen and I had an amazing discussion with Saybrook Clinical Psychology faculty member, Dr. Kelly Serafini. Our discussion covered a lot ground including Dr. Serafini’s views on what humanistic psychology entails to a really interesting overview of the current work she and others are doing in addiction counseling and therapy. Dr. Serafini will no doubt be back to cover these important topics as they remain front of mind in the American healthcare landscape. She taught us a lot and what I came away with is that there is much to be hopeful about in the work being done from both a therapeutic and research perspective.  

Episode 5: Today, Carmen and I had a wonderful conversation with Dr. Dennis Rebelo – Saybrook alumnus and author of the new book Story Like You Mean It. We covered a lot of ground from his time at Saybrook to the inspirational thinking that led to his creating what we believe to be a groundbreaking publication inspiring people the world over to develop the story of who they are with the goal of unlocking their full human potential. Quite humanistic if I do say so myself.

Terri Goslin-Jones, PhD (Website: https://terrigoslin-jones.com/): As an educator, my reason for teaching is to support life-long learners who are on a personal quest to create change in their lives and in their part of the world. Creativity is at the heart of my work. I believe that every person has a creative, unique spirit, and that creative energy is a vehicle for growth.

In my private practice as a workplace psychologist, I work with individuals and groups. My business mission is to Discover the Wonder of People at Work™. I have found that work becomes more meaningful when creativity is nurtured in the workplace through the expression of a person’s unique gifts, talents, and perspectives.

I teach courses in Arts-based Inquiry, Coaching, Creativity, Expressive Arts, Leadership, Humanistic Psychology, and Professional Development at Saybrook University. I am a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant/Educator (REACE) and serve as an International Expressive Arts Therapy Association board member.

Wendy Phillips, PhD (Website: http://www.diasporacitizen.com/): Dr. Wendy Phillips is a psychologist, researcher, practicing visual artist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT), and a Registered Expressive Arts Consultant Educator (REACE) by the standards of the International Expressive Arts Therapy Association (IEATA).

Wendy founded El Collectivo Macondo, an Expressive Arts Training Institute based in Mexico. She is a member by invitation, based on portfolio review, of SoHo Photo Collective in NYC.

Janet Rasmussen, PhD (Website: http://drjanetrasmussen.com/index.html): I deeply believe that clients already possess answers within themselves and that my role is to support them in the process of discovering their contentment. I am here to guide you in uncovering suppressed or dormant parts of yourself so that you can live with more presence, ease, confidence, and joy.

My ideal client is anyone interested in pursuing a path of spiritual growth or taking a deeper look at their life beyond the day-to-day. They are driven to take responsibility for their life and desire a deeper awareness of themselves. I believe that personal, emotional, relational, and spiritual growth are all interconnected.
