Abstract Psychology of Aging Podcast, created and hosted by Dr. Regina Koepp, Clinical Geropsychologist, is the first podcast of its kind devoted solely to mental health and aging. The goal of the Psychology of Aging podcast is to facilitate access to information and education about mental health and brain health among older adults with the hope of de-stigmatizing mental health care for older adults, reducing ageism, highlighting diversity, and promoting access to mental health and dementia care. The format includes a combination of expert interviews and “solo-casts”. Topics range from depression and suicide prevention to Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias to the unique needs of LGTBQ older adults and caregivers to health disparities experienced by African American and Latin-X communities related to dementia and the COVID-19 pandemic. During this session, Dr. Koepp will discuss the role podcasts play in public education and share tips for starting an evidence-based podcast.

Abstract This symposium will discuss two examples of innovative public education tools used to disseminate evidence-based information to the general public about mental health and aging and Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. The first is the Psychology of Aging Podcast hosted by Regina Koepp, Clinical Geropsychologist. Since it’s launch in April 2020, there have been 50 weekly episodes and more than total 25,000 downloads. The goal of the Psychology of Aging podcast is to facilitate access to information and education about mental health and brain health among older adults with the hope of de-stigmatizing mental health care for older adults, reducing ageism, and promoting access to mental health and dementia care for older adults and their families. The second is Dementia Careblazers, created and hosted by Dr. Natali Edmonds, board certified Geropsychologist. The goal of Dementia Careblazers videos is to offer easy to access information to family members who care for someone with dementia. In her weekly videos, Dr. Edmonds provides actionable, evidence-based information and resources focused on dementia caregiving in brief videos. Since it’s launch on YouTube November 2016, Dementia Careblazers, has 65,000 subscribers, has posted 231 videos, and has had more than 4 million views nationally and internationally. Drs. Koepp and Edmonds will discuss the role podcasts and YouTube videos play in public education and share tips for professionals wanting to start an evidence-based program of their own. This virtual modality may be of increased interest considering recent health risks through face to face interactions and advancements in technology.

Diverse Youth

Low-income and ethnically diverse youth in the United States have unmet needs for mental health services; however, these same youth are unlikely to be connected with high-quality mental health care. Promoting social-emotional competencies through school-based service delivery is one potential solution for improving the accessibility and quality of care for diverse youth facing mental health disparities. Mindfulness, conceived as a set of practices to cultivate social-emotional competencies, can therefore be useful for improving the accessibility and quality of care for diverse youth facing mental health disparities. Given the growing interest in MBSIs and the need to enhance equity in youth mental health services more generally, we provide guidelines to help practicing clinicians successfully adapt and implement MBSIs with underserved youth. First, we offer recommendations for clinicians to enhance underserved youths’ engagement with MBSIs. Next, we overview implementation approaches that clinicians could use for increasing access to MBIs in school settings. Following, we discuss strategies clinicians might employ when working with teachers to effectively implement MBSIs with underserved youth in their classrooms. Ultimately, we hope the guidelines offered in this paper might help inform better practice—as well as motivate further, better research—that advances equitable mental health care in schools with underserved youth.

Evidence Based Care

In recent years, the Indian government has been promoting healthcare with an insufficient evidence base, or which is non-evidence-based, alongside delivery of evidence-based care by untrained practitioners, through supportive legislation and guidelines. The Mental Health Care Act, 2017, is a unique example of a law endorsing such practices. In this paper, we aim to highlight the positive and negative implications of such practices for the delivery of good quality mental healthcare in India.
