Season 1 : Episode 7

CW: Podcast includes sensitive topics - eating disorders, substance use/addiction, grief, social justice.

Join AIRS founder, Samantha Simons and Dr. Stephanie Wright, psychologist and author for a discussion on a spectrum of topics from the importance of the humanities in education to access, to programs across the United States that are worth emulating when it comes to recovery support.

More about Stephanie: a mother of daughters; an associate professor of psychology; an institutional and organizational consultant; a poet, short story, and novel writer; a textbook author; a dreamer; a sister; a mitigation specialist and women’s advocate; a daughter; a graduate of High Point University’s undergraduate program in psychology; a master’s and doctoral graduate of NCSU’s program in psychology; a coffee addict; a red wine enthusiast; an education technology innovator

Some highlights from this episode:

• Hope is the belief that things can change

• No one is immune to being affected by mental illness, addiction, or trauma but access to recovery resources IS discriminatory

• “STEM teaches you how to do wonderful things like put rockets in space, but the humanities teach you why you want to do that.” -Dr. Stephanie Wright
