Sound therapy, an ancient practice with modern innovations, is gaining attention for its mental health benefits. By using specific frequencies like Schumann resonances and binaural beats, sound therapy helps calm the mind and induce meditative states. This gentle, non-invasive approach offers a natural alternative to traditional mental health treatments, making it a powerful tool for well-being.
Mental health hurdles, diagnoses, and treatments are not experienced equally by all groups. One Mind highlights researchers using their work to tackle these disparities in marginalized communities.
Studies suggest that music can have positive impacts on mental and physical health. A 2022 systematic review and meta-analysis of 26 studies found that music interventions were associated with statistically and clinically significant improvements in mental health-related quality of life.

In this event we will hear from Dr. Brenda Gonzalez Flores and Dr. AZA Allsop as they discuss the mental health of Black trainees and professionals and ways in which we can protect ourselves whilst going up the ranks of academia. Dr. Allsop will discuss his research and personal experiences in academia and Dr. Flores will give us practical tools and methods to fortify ourselves.
