Dr. Craig Bryan demonstrates the firearm safety counseling approach used in brief cognitive behavioral therapy for suicide prevention (BCBT) with an at-risk patient. This approach is influenced by the core principles of motivational interviewing, and involves four general phases: (1) Engaging: establishing a collaborative relationship with the gun owner; (2) Focusing: guiding the discussion towards the topic of safety; (3) Evoking: eliciting change talk by asking the gun owner to describe his or her personal reasons for increasing safety; and (4) Planning: summarizing change talk and identifying options for increasing firearm safety.

In a talk that's by turns heartbreaking and hilarious, writer and podcaster Nora McInerny shares her hard-earned wisdom about life and death. Her candid approach to something that will, let's face it, affect us all, is as liberating as it is gut-wrenching. Most powerfully, she encourages us to shift how we approach grief. "A grieving person is going to laugh again and smile again," she says. "They're going to move forward. But that doesn't mean that they've moved on." Get TED Talks recommended just for you!

Roselinde Kaiser asks: what is it about the teen years that puts us at risk for depression – but also helps us to build resilience? Drawing upon neurodevelopmental and clinical science, Dr. Kaiser shows why adolescence is a developmental window of both risk and enrichment, and outlines strategies for teens (and the rest of us) to thrive. Dr. Rosi Kaiser is a clinical psychologist and neuroscientist who uses integrated behavioral, developmental, and neuroscientific methods to understand Major Depression and related affective disorders. Dr. Kaiser explores these topics from a developmental perspective, with special interest in using neurocognitive risk markers to predict the onset and course of mood disorders in teens or young adults. Clinically, Dr. Kaiser is testing how neurocognitive functioning may be enhanced to foster affective health, with the goal of translating basic science into improved treatment and emotional wellness. Dr. Kaiser received a dual-Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and Neuroscience in 2013 from the University of Colorado Boulder, completing her predoctoral Clinical Internship at Yale University School of Medicine. After receiving her doctoral degree, Dr. Kaiser trained as a postdoctoral Fellow in affective and translational neuroscience at Harvard Medical School/McLean Hospital.
