Welcome to this exploration of how perspective influences our interactions and how we can shift from fear-based responses to a culturally responsive viewpoint of wellness. Malika Pritchett and Nasiah Cirincione-Ulezi, Ed.D., BCBA will cover various topics related to wellness as an antidote for avoidance and fear-based responding. They offer a multi-dimensional view of wellness that goes beyond traditional interpretations. From there, they will introduce the topic of reflection and how to embrace a beginner's mind when holding space with others, leading to a strengths-based approach to professional interactions. Lastly, they will provide lessons from basic research on punishment, fear, and behavior extinction.
