These are increasingly important topics in today’s world, in which over 50% of people will meet criteria for a mental health disorder at some point in their lives. The toll of mental health – both in terms of human suffering and socioeconomic costs – is enormous. This program will introduce you to Clinical Psychology, a field focused on understanding, identifying, and treating psychological disorders. What exactly is mental illness? How do psychologists decide when someone’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors constitute a disorder? What are the causes of psychological disorders? Is the problem with our genetics, our brains, our families, or the society and culture in which we live? What are the scientific methods we use to study mental health and illness? What forms of treatment are available to help people who are suffering? These topics and questions surround our everyday lives. Over this week, we will try to answer some of these questions. We will explore psychological disorders from a variety of theoretical frameworks including psychological, biological, and sociocultural perspectives. The program will focus on current empirical studies that examine underlying factors as well as on empirically based treatments. false

      Add to Calendar 2025-09-03T12:00:00 2025-09-03T13:30:00 America/New_York Yale Youth Ministry Institute: Addressing Childhood Trauma with Liberation Psychology and Theology with Dr. Thema Bryant Trauma, ranging from interpersonal to intergenerational, can create severe dysregulation and psychic suffering. Trauma may disrupt the nervous system, identity, affect regulation, and relationship schemas. Traumatic events can also disconnect survivors from the various aspects of themselves as well as their community. Liberation psychology and theology can awaken conceptualizations and frameworks that center reclamation as a form of holistic healing and empowerment for child trauma survivors. While much of the individually-centered trauma literature focuses on skills-based psycho-education and cognitive-behavioral coping strategies, there has traditionally been less, although growing, attention paid to the diverse culturally-grounded, socio-political pathways for survivors to reclaim themselves. This presentation explores pathways that can benefit the trauma recovery process of children, especially for marginalized survivors. The trauma and healing-informed liberation pathways which emerge from the literature are culture as medicine, community support, spirituality and religiosity, expressive arts, and resistance. A more inclusive view of trauma and trauma recovery can both heal and empower individuals and society as a whole. false

Drawing on national research, I will highlight how parents' own religious upbringings, parenting styles, and relationships with congregational life shape their efforts to pass on faith to their children. We’ll examine how factors like emotional warmth, consistent engagement, and clear expectations—hallmarks of an authoritative parenting style—can enhance religious transmission. I’ll also discuss the practical and cultural reasons parents choose their congregations, what they hope those communities will provide (e.g., education, enjoyment, tradition), and how congregations can serve as trusted partners. The session aims to equip faith communities with insights to more intentionally and effectively support the spiritual formation of young children through the caregivers who guide them. false
