by McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research
The McSilver Institute for Poverty Policy and Research at New York University is committed to creating new knowledge about the root causes of poverty, developing evidence-based interventions to address its consequences, and rapidly translating research findings into action through policy and best practices. Poverty is about more than lacking the resources to meet basic needs, such as food, clothing and shelter. We recognize the interrelatedness of race, gender and poverty. NYU McSilver is dedicated to spreading awareness about social issues impacting vulnerable communities individuals, as well as evidence-based solutions. Since 2018, the McSilver Institute has launched two seasons of ”Black Boys and Men: Changing the Narrative,” as well as collaborated with the Danya Institute and Central East MHTTC to produce “Saving Young Black Lives: Reversing Suicide Trends.” In 2023, the McSilver Institute introduced “People, Perspectives, and Policy,” a series of conversations exploring a variety of mental health topics and their intersection with social services and public health policy.

How do we embrace two-generational health (child and caregiver) during the complete perinatal period — from pregnancy into early childhood? And how does the two-generation approach create better outcomes for families and prepare children for a lifetime of well-being? NYU McSilver partnered with the NYC Perinatal and Early Childhood Mental Health Network Training and Technical Assistance Center (TTAC) to produce a unique podcast episode drawing on the knowledge of experts working on multiple facets of perinatal health, from public health policy to pediatrics and reproductive care. TTAC leader Evelyn Blanck interviews Dr. Susan Chinitz, April Hamilton, Dr. Catherine Monk, and Dr. Cynthia Osborne in this information-rich showcase.

Polyvagal theory emphasizes the role the autonomic nervous system — especially the vagus nerve — plays in regulating health and behavior. Created and developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, the theory describes the physiological and psychological states underlying mental health challenges and everyday behavior. With his son, director and producer Seth Porges, Dr. Porges co-wrote Our Polyvagal World: How Safety and Trauma Change Us, the latest book in an expansive bibliography exploring polyvagal theory. They sat down with two of McSilver's visionary researchers, Dr. Kara Dean-Assael and Dr. Anthony Salerno, to discuss potential impacts of polyvagal theory for health practitioners, systems of care, and society in general.
