The Episodes Project is a solution-based, three-component initiative designed to bring more compassion, knowledge, skill sets, humanity, and kindness to those experiencing daily or frequent turmoil related to a behavioral health concern. That "dark cloud" of misery during behavioral health moments can drain the strongest among us and tear down our spirit. For those in our community who, by virtue of their job duties, will encounter troubled or deeply disturbed individuals, there is no such thing as too many skill sets. Peter Hertsgaard, M.F.A., joins Tom McNulty, M.S., for another open discussion on the state of behavioral health in our time. Mass shootings, family murder, sexual assaults, human trafficking, dangerous drug use, suicide, peer bullying, fear, community trauma, and so much more seem omnipresent no matter what zip code you hold dear. Is behavioral health really making the impact we need? There were approximately 38,000 deaths by guns in the USA last year, and 24,000+ were suicides by gun. Is it possible you might know someone who desperately needs help? Do you know what to do? Have you lost someone? It is sad how many lives we lose every day because of flawed protocols, ignorance, stupidity, governmental incompetence, injustice, and indifference.

Sadly, our society is overflowing with misinformation and intentionally incorrect and overestimated proclamations from individuals who are invested in protecting their own incompetence. Their primary objective is to protect and inflate their own sense of self, their flawed knowledge base in an effort to appear superior to others. They defend their intellectually deficient claims in order to control those they believe cannot see through their mask of deception. We see this daily in politics, religion, medicine, and all those in positions of expected skill strength. Too often, they are self-inflicted by the Dunning-Kruger Effect - a psychological condition of "cognitive bias". The Dunning-Kruger Effect is attributed to those who proclaim skills they do not posses. Typically, these are individuals who are attention seekers who believe they are fully equipped to render opinions or carry out tasks they have little to no knowledge about that field. Many such individuals' incompetence is a defense mechanism against their insecurities and/or a need to feel superior. Some people underestimate their skills they truly have, but most tend to fabricate their abilities. Obviously, in key areas such as medicine, politics, and other critical fields can lead to tragic outcomes or a flock of dismayed followers. Please listen to this podcast and share it with friends, professionals, media, and teachers. Thank you for listening.

Are we a caring society, globe, neighborhood, school, workplace, or self? The world's attitude about others can be very unsettling to witness or read about. Further, in the United States of America and it's long history of reaching out to those less fortunate has eroded and we are no longer a trusted nation. The Mindfulness Alliance serves as a catalyst and community-builder,offering innovative programming in fostering the inner movement from "Me" to "We" to bring about the changes needed to better serve humanity and our planet. They are building a unique community of mindfulness practitioners and change-makers that spans disciplines and sectors and embraces multiple wisdom traditions. The Mindfulness Alliance believes that together we can catalyze our collective capacity to foster awareness-based social change for a more flourishing future - where individuals, institutions, and systems embody more compassion, justice, and inclusivity.
