Join the Two Guys on Your Head team, Rebecca McInroy, Dr. Art Markman, and Dr. Bob Duke, for this special live recording celebrating the 75th anniversary of the UT School of Social Work and the 85th anniversary of the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health.

Featured Guests:

Dean Alan Cole, Dean of the Steve Hicks School of Social Work at UT Austin
Dr. Octavio Martinez, Executive Director of the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health

In This Episode:

Recorded before a live audience, this conversation explores the intersection of psychology, social work, and mental health. The panel discusses what we really mean when we talk about “behavioral health” and how it differs from mental health, emphasizing the crucial role that environment, community, and social structures play in our well-being.

Key topics include:

The Power of Storytelling: How narratives help us understand our lives and connect with others in therapeutic and meaningful ways
Building Community: Why human connection is essential for mental wellness, especially in an age of increasing isolation and loneliness
Arts and Humanities in Healthcare: How literature, music, and creative expression foster empathy, prevent burnout, and improve patient outcomes
The Pace of Modern Life: Why slowing down and being present matters more than ever
Looking Forward: The promise and potential pitfalls of AI and new technologies in behavioral health

The conversation also addresses Dean Cole’s work with the Parkinson’s community, the importance of face-to-face interaction in an increasingly digital world, and how universities can help create more inclusive, less reactive communities.

Episode recorded live at the University of Texas at Austin
