Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Naari-tives! As we're at the end of Pride Month, we have a very special episode up for you! We talk to Dr Meghna- a Clinical Psychologist and Certified Parenting Coach, about being a parent to a queer child. In this episode, we discuss how parents can be more supportive of their queer children, what it can mean for the mental health of both the parent and the child, and the implications the same may have within the Indian Context, among other topics! We also talk to Ms Sabrina Court, the mother of a gay son- regarding her experience supporting her child, and how it influenced the relationship she shared with her son! That said, we're really hoping that though June is Pride Month, these episodes and events we had at the Naari-tives and at Maathr this month has sparked a little thought and conversation to establish just why it's important to talk about the mental health of those within the community- not just in one month, but all year round! -- Link to Research Paper: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-019-1430-9 -- Other resources/references cited through the episode: https://doi.org/10.1300/J082v30n01_05 https://doi.org/10.1080/08952833.2019.1640569 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10591-017-9426-x https://doi.org/10.1300/J236v01n03_03 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7087348/ -- Naari-tives is a podcast brought to you by Maathr: An Initiative for Maternal Mental Health.

Hey there, and welcome to the 21st episode of the Naari-tives. Quick question: Think about how you would "picture" a "criminal". What do they look like? 

Well, for starters, is your image of a criminal is male, you probably get why we're here today- a large percentage of perpetrators of crime are thought to be male. While there is a certain truth to that statement, it is integral to also understand the nuances and intricacies of crime perpetrated by women, and the potential influencing factors of the same. We have with us today, Dr. Mebin Wilson Thomas. As Assistant Professor of Forensic Science, he holds a postgraduate degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice Administration from the University of Madras. So what are you waiting for? Let's take a deep dive into the world of crime...and well, the role that women play in the same!

Welcome to the 18th episode of the Naari-tives! Today, we talk about the LGBT+ Community in Sports. Considering the multiple advantages that come with playing sports, the sports industry often poses an unfair disadvantage to those from the LGBT+ Community- many of them are faced with excessive hostility and discrimination. We decided to spark a coversation on the topic with Janki Mehta, the Co-founder of Mind Mandala, who gives us a lot of insights regarding the sports community across various different levels- be it sports in school or even elite sports!

Hello there! Before we get into the first episode of 2022, here's a very Happy New Year from Team Maathr! The theme for the first year of the month is "Women in the World of Sports", and in this episode, we have a very engaging discussion with Ms. Divya Jain from Fortis, on everything related to Sports Psychology for women athletes. We discuss so many things starting from common sources of stress and mental health concerns among athletes, issues within sports psychology, which are inherently gendered, and the effects of sexism within the sports industry! So what're you waiting for? Grab a drink, and hit that play button!
