We are pleased to announce the first installment of our State of Mind series. In partnership with statewide mental health reporter Natalie Eilbert, we will be inviting some of the area's experts to our store to speak on a series of mental health topics and provide resources. Our goal for this series is to provide a space for our community to learn, find support, and connection.

This first installment, Social Media & Self-Image will take place on Saturday, May 6 at 11am. We look forward to welcoming Dr. Richa Aggarwal, Dr. Ryan Martin, and Natalie Eilbert for a panel exploring why social media can be harmful to our sense of what healthy and unhealthy standards of beauty look like across genders.

Dr. Ryan Martin researches and writes on healthy and unhealthy expressions of anger. His books, How to Deal with Angry People and Why We Get Mad: How to Use Your Anger for Positive Change, explore why people become angry, how people can use their anger in productive ways, and how to work effectively with angry people. Ryan also hosts the popular psychology podcast, Psychology and Stuff. He was trained as a counseling psychologist at the University of Southern Mississippi where he first started studying anger after earning his undergraduate degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from the University of St. Thomas. He has worked with clients- angry and otherwise- in a variety of settings including community mental health centers, college counseling centers, and a VA Hospital.

He is a Professor of Psychology and an Associate Dean for the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. His work has been featured in the New York Times, NPR’s Invisibilia podcast, BBC Radio’s Digital Human, TED.com, and elsewhere. When he’s not thinking about feelings, he runs and spends time with his family.
