November 30: "Stress & Supplements: HPA Axis Dysfunction & The Role of Adaptogens"

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

**ZOOM ONLY**

Register

In the pandemic era, patients are increasingly turning to over-the-counter natural products to help address chronic stress. This talk will review the evidence and clinical application of adaptogenic dietary supplements, and how they interact with the HPA axis. It will discuss the current state of regulation of dietary supplements in the US, and how to best guide patients on their safe and appropriate use.

Speaker:
Melinda Ring, MD, FACP, ABOIM

December 7: "Addressing the Global Mental Health Treatment Gap with Implementation Science"

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

**ZOOM ONLY**

Register

Mental health disorders are the second largest contributor to the global burden of disease among youth and adults. This burden is compounded in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs) and other low resource settings due to the widening mental health treatment gap, which is particularly pronounced in LMICs with histories of violence and loss. While many promising evidence-based mental interventions have been implemented in LMICs, their reach and sustainability are often limited.  Applying an Implementation science lens to global mental health research and practice has the potential to better address the significant gaps in mental health service access in LMICs by designing for implementation and sustainment earlier in the process. This talk will discuss how implementation science processes and approaches can be applied to improve the adoption, reach and sustainment of evidence-based mental health interventions among vulnerable populations of youth residing in LMICs, with case examples from Sierra Leone and Colombia. 

Speaker:
Alethea Desrosiers, PhD
Assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University

Regulation of mitochondrial health during tissue regeneration

Abstact:

Mitochondrial damage is a hallmark of aging and common human diseases, and the mechanisms by which tissues accommodate dysfunctional organelles are under intense investigation. We discuss here the consequences of mitochondrial electron transport chain dysfunction in stem cell populations, in order to understand how tissues promote the regeneration of healthy tissue and unearth strategies to combat accumulating mitochondrial damage during an organism s lifespan.
