Mental health in unhealthy times

AUB COMMUNICATIONS
About this episode

Brigitte Khoury, Associate Professor, explains how she and her colleagues research the impact on the public of stressful times in Lebanon, what every person can do to help themselves, and how AUB responds to the current crises.

Dr. Khoury analyzes how Lebanon’s multiple crises impact individuals, families and institutions, and how individuals and families can help minimize the damage from such mental health stresses. She also explores how she and her AUB colleagues in the psychiatry department determine what research they conduct, and explains how their results help shape interventions among children and adults.
