There has always been a stereotype that women are "more emotional" than men, and even that they are "too emotional" for leadership roles. Dr. Winny Shen joins Mind Full to discuss the results of her study which suggest that not only is that stereotype untrue, the exact opposite might actually be the case.

Kids in school face bullying - we all know this. Dr. Wendy Craig and Dr. Deinera Exner-Cortens say that much of the bullying in school is connected to power imbalances in society writ large. They join Mind Full to talk about societal structures, bullying, and what parents and educators can do.

Cette semaine, dans le cadre du Mois de la psychologie dont le thème, cette année, est « Les femmes et la science », nous présentons Sophie Bergeron, Ph. D., qui détient une Chaire de recherche du Canada sur les relations intimes et le bien-être sexuel au Département de psychologie de l’Université de Montréal, où elle dirige également le Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire sur les problèmes conjugaux et les agressions sexuelles (CRIPCAS), l’Équipe SCOUP Sexualité et Couple, et le Laboratoire d’étude de la santé sexuelle.

Le Mois de la psychologie : la santé sexuelle avec Sophie Bergeron, Ph. D.

Madeline Springle is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University of Calgary, who is winning awards for her ability to mobilize knowledge. Specifically, she is taking the research she has done into one-way video interviews, and using it to help people who might use this knowledge to better prepare for their own job search.

As we close out Psychology Month, we wanted to highlight knowledge translation (explaining the science for a more general audience) and knowledge mobilization (putting new findings into practice such that they help those they were designed to help) because without those, science exists in a vacuum!

Glenn Brimacombe is the CPA's Director of Policy and Public Affairs, and a registered lobbyist. Glenn advocates for mental health funding and parity (to get mental health coverage on par with physical health coverage), and has some ideas about how to keep mental health at the forefront of the issues as an election looms.

Psychology, mental health, and the federal election with Glenn Brimacombe

With just under two weeks until the federal election, we spoke with our director of policy and public affairs Glenn Brimacombe (again!) about public health, mental health, and what we can all do to keep those topics top of mind as we approach April 28th.

Mental health, healthcare, and the federal election with Glenn Brimacombe

The federal election is over, and it looks like a Liberal minority. We speak with the CPA's Director of Policy and Public Affairs Glenn Brimacombe for the third time in our election series about the results, the reshaping of the federal government, and the path forward for advocacy. What is the current outlook for the health system in general? What are the possible scenarios for achieving parity between mental health coverage and physical health coverage? And what's next for Pierre Polievre and the NDP?
