What research says about mental health in communities by Rich Bodo
Presented by Rich Bodo
A talk that gives a very brief history of mental health outcomes and practice in US high schools, and tell the story of some of the things that researchers found work, and which practitioners implemented, that turned some of those communities around. Take questions.
Rich has been working since 2021 to make Social Network Health approaches to preventative mental health care easier to understand and implement. Social Network Health is the study of how relationships in communities effect everything from general mental health to productivity, to suicidal ideation. He is working specifically on the Social Network Health project as a video and content producer, which is launching coincident with dweb camp this year.
He is also a co-founder of spacebase.co, whose goal is to democratize access to space, and the Global Space Enablers Network. He has worked on decentralized software projects for Mozilla and the World Food Programme, and is looking forward to getting back into the study of decentralized tech this year so that he can apply it to space situational awareness problems.
