Mind Declutter with Athea Davis

Happy Day, Friend!
In this podcast episode I’m chatting with Dr. Michael Strambler about institutional neutrality and free speech; DEI, equity, and equality; and social emotional learning (SEL) and bad therapy.
Michael Strambler, PhD, is an Associate Professor at the Yale School of Medicine and the Director of Child Wellbeing and Education Research at The Consultation Center within the Division of Prevention and Community Research in the Department of Psychiatry. His research encompasses two main themes. The first theme investigates the impact of social environments on the academic, psychological, social, and behavioral well-being of children and youth. In this area, he gives special attention to social and emotional learning (SEL). The second theme explores the effectiveness of school-based programs and practices in enhancing the academic performance and health of children, with a particular focus on utilizing data to inform practices and policies. As part of this endeavor, he co-directs the Partnership for Early Education Research (PEER), a research-practice partnership (RPP) based in Connecticut (CT), which collaborates with three CT communities. Strambler's academic credentials include a Ph.D. in Clinical and Community Psychology from the University of California at Berkeley.
