  • Representation, Resilience, and Reducing Workplace Violence in Healthcare
    2024/09/30

    In this inspiring episode of Mental Health Trailblazers: Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up, host Indrias Kassaye chats with Dr. Thomas Sargent, a two-time Minority Fellowship Program (MFP) alumnus, whose journey from an unexpected nudge into nursing to becoming a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) is nothing short of remarkable. Dr. Sargent shares his personal story of breaking through the barriers of a predominantly white, female-dominated profession as an African American male nurse practitioner.

    Throughout the episode, Dr. Sargent reflects on his experiences—never seeing Black male nurse educators during his studies—and how that absence motivated him to push harder and reach higher. He also dives into his groundbreaking work in addressing workplace violence in healthcare. His research reveals how trauma-informed care and cultural humility are critical to reducing incidents of violence and creating safer environments for healthcare providers. With healthcare workers facing an alarming rate of workplace violence, Dr. Sargent's efforts are not only timely but essential.

    Dr. Sargent also opens up about the deeply personal connections he forms with patients, including Black men who find comfort and trust in seeing a provider who understands their unique experiences. His work in treating underserved populations, breaking down the stigma around mental health, and advocating for cultural competence in care is both inspiring and vital.

    Whether you're a healthcare professional, a student, or someone passionate about diversity in healthcare, this episode offers an inside look at how one nurse is making a difference. Dr. Sargent also shares his experiences as an educator, helping shape the next generation of nurses and the vital role the MFP played in his success.

  • From China to Colorado: Mental Health Nursing, Racism, and Resilience
    2024/09/16

    In this episode of Mental Health Trailblazers: Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up, host Indrias Kassaye is joined by Alice Dressler, a doctoral fellow in the Minority Fellowship Program (MFP), as they discuss her journey to becoming a psychiatric nurse practitioner. This conversation takes place in the context of the 50-year anniversary of the MFP at the American Nurses Association, offering a unique perspective from a current fellow on the continuing importance of the program in addressing unmet behavioral health needs in underserved communities.

    Alice shares her story of immigrating to the U.S. in 2017 and how her early life experiences, being born under China’s one-child policy and adopted as an infant, shaped her commitment to healthcare. Initially trained as a civil engineer, Alice decided to pursue nursing after witnessing the mental health struggles of patients and healthcare workers during the pandemic. Now working in Colorado, she serves low-income women and children from minority backgrounds, focusing on mental health care for those with significant trauma histories.

    In a particularly powerful segment, Alice reflects on how the rise of anti-Asian sentiment during the pandemic marked her first experience with racism. This personal encounter profoundly deepened her empathy for patients who face racism regularly, giving her a new understanding of how racial discrimination impacts mental health. Her insights underscore the critical need to consider these factors when providing care to underserved populations.

    Alice also highlights how the Minority Fellowship Program has been instrumental in her professional development, providing a sense of community and support that reignited her passion for nursing. The program has empowered her to think beyond direct patient care, inspiring her to consider research and policy work aimed at reducing mental health disparities in marginalized communities.

    This episode offers a thoughtful exploration of how personal experience, cultural competence, and programs like the MFP are essential in addressing the behavioral health needs of underserved populations. Alice’s journey provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals and advocates alike.

  • MFP/ANA at 50 – Alumni Shaping Legacy and Driving Mental Health Forward
    2024/09/02
    In this special episode, recorded during the MFP's 2024 Summer Intensive Training Institute in Washington, D.C., host Indrias Kassaye brings together an accomplished panel of MFP alumni to celebrate the program's 50-year legacy and explore the future of psychiatric and mental health care for underserved communities.Join us as Dr. John Lowe, Dr. Eugenia Millender, Dr. Rosa Gonzalez-Guarda, Dr. Mary Lou de Leon Siantz, Dr. Kalisha Bonds-Johnson, and Dr. LaKeetra Josey share their journeys, groundbreaking research, and the profound impact they’ve had on the lives of those they serve. Dr. Lowe reflects on a powerful moment when a young Native American man, whom he had mentored through the Talking Circle intervention, crossed paths with him years later in Washington, D.C., having become a successful law student and intern on Capitol Hill—a testament to the life-changing influence of culturally tailored interventions.Dr. Millender discusses how her research on cumulative trauma and stress has not only advanced our understanding of cardiovascular disease but also empowered communities to confront and address the long-term impacts of these stressors. She recalls the personal transformation she experienced through the MFP, which expanded her worldview and deepened her commitment to addressing health inequities, particularly within indigenous and Latino communities.Dr. Gonzalez-Guarda shares how her upbringing in Miami initially sheltered her from the broader inequities faced by immigrant communities—a realization that later fueled her passion for health equity. Her work, now recognized with a new grant for a community trial, focuses on preventing systemic health outcomes in Latino immigrant families, emphasizing the importance of cultural strengths in overcoming societal stressors.Dr. Mary Lou de Leon Siantz speaks movingly about her lifelong dedication to the mental health and reproductive health of migrant children and adolescents. She reflects on her pioneering work as the first national mental health coordinator for the Migrant Head Start program and her ongoing commitment to advocating for immigrant children at the U.S. border.Dr. Kalisha Bonds-Johnson offers insight into her research on African American adult daughters caring for parents with cognitive impairments. Drawing from her own life experiences, she highlights the importance of culturally tailored support systems for these caregivers, whose challenges often go unrecognized. Her work, supported by a prestigious NIH K award, exemplifies the critical need for research that addresses the unique needs of underserved populations.Dr. LaKeetra Josey discusses how the MFP transformed her approach to leadership and clinical practice, empowering her to create innovative mental health care solutions tailored to the needs of diverse communities. From establishing a practice in the Dominican Republic serving U.S. veterans to integrating mental health services in schools, Dr. Josey exemplifies the impact of culturally responsive care in improving mental health outcomes.The journeys of these distinguished guests exemplify the mission of the SAMHSA Minority Fellowship Program at the American Nurses Association to address substance use disorder and mental health care disparities affecting racial and ethnic minorities. Through their research, clinical practice, and advocacy, they have each contributed to reducing these disparities by developing and implementing culturally relevant interventions that resonate deeply with the communities they serve. Their work underscores the importance of addressing the unique challenges faced by underserved populations, from systemic inequities to the need for culturally sensitive care.Throughout the episode, the importance of storytelling emerges as a powerful theme. The panelists emphasize how sharing narratives—whether it’s their own or those of the individuals and communities they serve—can bridge understanding, inspire action, and drive meaningful change. They highlight how the Minority Fellowship Program has equipped them not only with the skills to conduct groundbreaking research but also with the ability to become advocates, and tell the stories that humanize their work, make it accessible to a broader audience and inspire new generations of psychiatric mental health nurses.This episode captures the spirit of the MFP family—a powerful community of leaders dedicated to advancing mental health equity. Through their personal anecdotes, these trailblazing nurse scientists not only highlight their professional achievements but also share the deep, personal connections they’ve made with those they serve, and the transformative experiences that shaped their visions for the future.Tune in for a rich discussion that both honors the past and looks boldly to the future, envisioning new frontiers in mental health care, from addressing the needs of indigenous populations to exploring the possibilities for nurse scientists...
