5.4 Implementing Interventions for Family, Refugee and Student Wellbeing with Dr. Amanda Sim

The Global Health Collective - With a Local Edge

Having empathy can make all the difference in your work and in yourself. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Amanda Sim, a research fellow, PI and assistant professor at McMaster University. Her work focuses on intergenerational impacts of war and adversity on child well-being and working with local communities to design and evaluate interventions to promote child and family resilience. Despite the challenges of implementing interventions and change, Dr. Sim discusses how to improve the well-being of families, refugees, and ourselves through compassion and empathy.
