"These impacts stem both from the crisis itself and the disruption that follows, including displacement, separation from family members, uncertainty regarding long-term housing and employment, and discrimination," Lowe said after the event. Sarah Lowe, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and assistant professor in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences, said scientists know from prior humanitarian crises that these events have a tremendous toll for years to come and even inter-generationally. But can you imagine the withdrawal agony for patients? The mental health consequences?”
“I have messages from doctors on the front lines who are hiding drugs in the trunks of their vehicles so they can give them to their patients,” said Altice, whose faculty affiliations include the Yale Institute for Global Health. “I am speaking with colleagues on the ground in Ukraine, doctors who I believe share the same spirit as Ukrainian President Zelensky of staying on and fighting,” he said. Frederick Altice, M.D., Yale professor of Medicine and Epidemiology, noted the resolve of those trying to help during the siege of Ukraine. As examples of this effort, Raymond mentioned using satellite imagery to quantify and map the damage done to health care infrastructure and having students serve as liaisons to such organizations like the United Nations and Doctors without Borders.”ĭr. “We are working on bringing academic expertise to the humanitarian response through our Humanitarian Research Lab,” Raymond said. Nathaniel Raymond, a lecturer at the Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and the Yale School of Public Health, spoke about the existing pathways for YSPH to contribute to humanitarian efforts. The discussion was presented as an opportunity for students to express their concerns about humanitarian crises around the world, learn more about YSPH faculty involvement in humanitarian projects and discuss potential courses of action. With that, Vermund, M.D.,Ph.D., marked the beginning of a March 16 faculty panel and student listening session on the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine and other countries. “But I look at our faculty and students here for hope.” “We are seeing how raw power can cause unspeakable fear and destruction,” said Yale School of Public Health Dean Dr. We have also worked with state partners on short-term data collection projects to support validation of new measures for community settings.As the Russian war with Ukraine entered its third week, images of the utter destruction and human despair associated with the invasion have circulated around the globe. Our Outpatient Services Research Team works closely with other research groups at the Child Study Center to facilitate enrollment in studies to examine more specific treatment interventions. In addition, we continue to explore implementation of evidence-based treatment models with the support of local partners, and continually work to develop processes and structures to support and enhance our ability to provide mental health services in an efficient and effective manner. Our group has expanded the knowledge-base by validating several commonly used measures of behavioral health symptoms within a diverse sample of participants. It is critical that we understand how these tools and interventions work for all families and across a variety of clinical contexts. Furthermore, while research has begun to shift, many existing clinical measures and interventions were primarily developed in research settings that are both less diverse and often highly controlled. Working within an active clinical setting allows us to understand the structures, challenges, and opportunities available to other service providers both locally and nation-wide. Our work focuses on multiple aspects of treatment in a diverse, community-based setting. We are interested in improving outpatient mental health services for children and adolescents – including the ways in which youth and families access services, the tools used to support assessment, and the types of treatment interventions provided – with a goal of improving the overall effectiveness of services provided.
