Episode 12: Stigma Can Be Deadly

Guests:

Dr. Melissa Cyders earned her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kentucky in 2009. She has been a faculty member in Psychology at IUPUI since 2009 and is the Director of Clinical Training for Clinical Psychology PhD program at IUPUI. Her research focuses on how impulsivity and its neurocognitive functions underlie risk-taking, with a special focus on alcohol and substance use disorder.

Dr. Melissa Fry is Director of the Applied Research and Education Center (AREC) and Associate Professor of Sociology at IU Southeast. At the AREC, Dr. Fry and a team of research assistants conduct community-based research and evaluation, including several projects in prevention and treatment of substance use disorder, and integration of primary and behavioral health care services with treatment for substance use disorders. Dr. Fry worked as a behavioral health case manager in a community mental health center and wrote her dissertation on case management in behavioral health and aging services. Her work focuses on identifying and pursuing leverage points for systems change.

Danielle Burkett has been a Certified Peer Recovery Coach since the end of 2016 and is in long term recovery herself. Since March of 2022 she has been recovering from a stroke but decided to finish school and got her Master’s in social work in April 2023. Danielle’s passion lies with youth and the incarcerated. Danielle has worked inside 3 county jails and 1 work release since she has become a Peer Recovery Coach. This year marks 8 years that she has been out of the justice system. From 12 years old to 35 she struggled with staying out of the justice system because of her addiction to substances. Since the stroke, she didn’t have the internal barriers from her trauma, so she founded the non-profit, Unlikely Journeys, Inc, in August 2022 to help youth in the justice system with their trauma.
