Rayna Bray - “Trauma, and What they Aren’t Telling You” (poster session) Where does trauma affect your brain the most? Whether it is your frontal, temporal, or different areas of the brain. The next topic I want to cover would be what PTSD is and how it works. Making sure it is known that anything can trigger and develop traumatic remembrances. All 6 senses can be a cause and effect for those suffering from PTSD, and there are some cases where It is even unknown to the victim. Next would be proper coping mechanisms, and how to properly resolve an episode. Douglas Brown - “Social Justice Disparities and the Impact on Law Enforcement” (session 2) Social injustices between communities and law enforcement date back generations and are still prevalent today, leading to distrust of law enforcement. Such injustices take many forms and are rooted in ethnicity, race, gender, and socio-economic structures. Without comprehensive law enforcement reforms the American public is likely to maintain a distrust of law enforcement. Reform strategies need to focus on transparency, accountability, and unbiased policing practices to bridge the gap between law enforcement and communities.A survey was conducted using convenience sampling to collect individual respondent’s opinions and perceptions to gauge social justice disparities.SPSS was used to perform various statistical tests including descriptive statistics to draw conclusions. It is estimated that more than 61% of MVC students surveyed agree that police reform strategies need to focus on transparency, accountability, and unbiased police practices to create the needed change.
Hannah Brown - Editor’s Choice Award for Academic Prose: “Causes of Increased Wildfires in Western States and Implementation of Prevention Steps” (session 9) Kimberley Browne - “Postpartum Depression” (session 11) One in seven women struggle with postpartum depression. Untreated postpartum depression can lead to various health issues in not only the mother but the infant as well: cognitive delays, higher risk of suicide or self harm, and higher anxiety levels in mother and baby. An educational pamphlet was developed describing signs and symptoms of postpartum depression, when to contact a healthcare provider and resources if feeling depressed. The goal with this project is to decrease the occurrence of more severe postpartum depression, as indicated by earlier identification of ‘mild’ cases after the implementation of the educational pamphlet.
