Wendy Ingram and Mental Health in Academia

Experience by Design - A podcast by Adam Gamwell, Gary David

Categories:

Wendy Ingram knew that a way to make a difference was through addressing a topic few discuss: mental health in academia. Through her own experiences and personal tragedy, Wendy, along with a team of volunteers, created the organization Dragonfly Mental Health. Through online services as well as consulting services, Dragonfly helps academics and academic organizations improve individual and organizational mental wellness. We talk about the creation of Dragonfly, her work with zombie insects, academia being the original Instagram, and how to create a 'heart space' at work.
