Self Care to Communities of Care | Travis Heath | TEDxMSUDenver 

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” ― Buckminster Fuller

This should be common sense. When is the world going to understand this? Thanks Travis

An insightful talk. Thank you for sharing this, TEDx.

Fantastic human you are! Piecing back together what society has Broken. We need meany more people on the ground doing this good work.

This really makes good sense to me. Very thought provoking as well, especially the part about questioning the systems in place/areas where we might have some power that would be a kind of conflict of interest.

I realize suddenly that I have never really understood what I have read about systemic approach. But put lively like that... tilt! Eurêka! Thank you!

I never got depressed until I got with a narcissist at age 48, I was so happy all my life after 7yrs I was out of his life, I'm still working on me, that shish was crazy. Good talk Travis

Dr. Heath! You're a great professor and an even better friend. Pleasure to know you, brother.

Grateful to hear this, Travis - I agree and stand with you in the common sense that what we are seeing as the world and it's problems are symptoms of a deeper issue... as you say, a systemic problem and it is our responsibility, by virtue of our participation, to change it on any level possible and I think it does start with ourselves. Seeing what systems I am upholding and asking, "is this best for all?" We have a lot of work to do, but I'm grateful to hear it's coming through in many places... this understanding of what's really going on.

Wow, this is important. Thank you.

Oh my god! This is gold. Thank you. 🙏

I loved this talk!

Sounds like Systems Theory how you should look at a person and how they interact with what systems they identify with (micro=family, friends etc, macro=cultural norms). Loved hearing about his patient examples. Important theory for social workers.

Awesome speech

“Asking a woman to self-care her way out of inequity” 🎤 drop

What an underrated talk, deserves more views for sure. Some ted talks seem gimmicky to me, yet this speech is really insightful and should serve as one of the examples of a good talk

Thanks for giving this talk Professor Heath. I agree larger issues around systems, structures, policy and all around public health problems are key factors. WE all play a role. More education, acceptance, breaking down barriers including but not limited to stigma of mental health are starting points. This is not just an individual or male issue as you've beautifully stated. These series of unfortunate events have and are leading me not only into therapeutic work but also into the study of public health and epidemiology. Thanks for the work you do as a theripist and being a wonderful educator and human.

Travis was my favorite teacher 💕

Amazimg and very clever talk! Thank you!

“Travis Heath concisely makes visible the politics of language and how it influences our thinking and practice. He provides practical, mindful and collaborative perspectives and approaches for us all as individuals and families in communities. Thank you!”

Hi, the best you can do to be a good cell in the cultural organism we all live in is to be happy, be yourself. I agree society puts pressure on citizens, however, society does not teach how to be happy, at least because people don't really know they want to be happy, they did not wake up saying : "From now on, I want to be happy" and somehow, that's sad. I understand that Travis Heath critizes the cultural society, however, I think that it is useless to do so if you don't act to change society in the best way possible and surely Travis Heath does so. In two words : great speech

This man is so well spoken! Why can't all society be like this? I swear people look at me like I have a third eye when I spice up my convo with proper syntax and words longer than 6 letters 😂

This most-viewed TEDx talk of last week inspires me to think of applying narrative therapy to nationalism-afflicted communities throughout the US and Europe. Though, the difference between perceiving gun violence and the fear of the foreign might be a step too far, requiring perhaps foreigners in the community to join in the process. Any examples of this conciliation? Perhaps in participatory budgeting community deliberations?

Debería de tener subtítulos en español 🙌🙏

The gene for depression is called systemic violence....I’ve heard somewhere... Edit: This is a beautiful talk by the way also. Containing the absolute basic ingredient to a better place of being both physically and emotionally, I think, for everyone.

Is the speaker saying redefine the system? Or do we have to care for those who get distressed because of the system? I think a lot of our systems cannot be redefined to make it perfect for everybody. That's why we need a community that cares. Ideally, we should all be part of these communities. But somehow by that, we didn't solve the root of the problem and we are in a vicious circle.🙄 Good that there are people talking about this matter. It could provide gateways. Thank you 🙂

I love this ❤❤❤❤❤

Wow superb 👌👌👌👌

Mental and emotional health should not be ignored here ) a mentally sick person can amount to the most gruesome crimes possible

Wow very nice... 😍😍😍😍

Sometimes self care is not a option.. sometimes no pain is where the best place is. And the world has no answers for it

The Republican may turn this into Socialism. That we all have a reposibility to each person in our society. Not a bad idea.

Joke's on you, I'll be a skeleton for Spooktober!

Is it only me who senses a whiff of academic/intellectual dishonesty when listening to this talk as the speaker gives the impression that this is a new fresh and innovative approach that he personally developed yet what he described here is basically the humanist theory approach which dates back to esteemed psychologists and sociologists such as Carl Rogers, Abraham Maslow and Talcott Parsons. All it would have taken is one sentence to accredit these brilliant minds for their input into developing this method of practice. I know that i may be being pedantic but plagiarism even unintentionally is greatly frowned upon in the academic world.

I'd like some communism care. No joke

Looks like a star trek character...

This is all bull! He really thinks we should all change just because a nut acts like a nut. On the other hand, he fails to recognize what "self" actually is, and it's not based on what society tells you to be. Self describes that you think what YOU think about guns, about masculinity. In fact, it is trying to fit YOU into someone else's mold that causes the trouble, but not being YOU is the problem.
