"Hostile environments thwart flourishing; congenial environments promote it." - R. Garland-Thomson
In this podcast, @sarahwillen of @ARCHES_study & @mendenhall_em of @socscimed-#MentalHealth discuss how to promote human flourishing, we need structural change.
Very important paper from @sarahwillen on flourishing '..we call attention to the troubling disconnect between current research on flourishing ..& the voluminous body of scholarship demonstrating the detrimental impact of structural inequities on health' https://t.co/rD3nAdzqR2
Brilliant article on #flourishing where a narrow 'psychological approach overestimates individuals’ control over their own well-being, while underestimating the role of systemic inequities' from @sarahwillen @ARCHES_study
TOMORROW! The @ARCHES_study will share their findings on how Americans think about health-related deservingness at our April Seminar, featuring Colleen C. Walsh, PhD, Sarah S. Willen, & Abigail Fisher Williamson https://t.co/f0NHbAK1Vs
