Women In Government Podcast Motherhood in Mind: Navigating Mental Health and Public Policy Postpartum depression or PPD is a common condition that many mothers face. It’s more intense than the ‘baby blues’ and often lasts longer, usually three to six months. One in seven women develops PPD after giving birth. That is why it is so important to talk openly about its symptoms, like depression, fatigue, feelings of guilt, anxiety, and difficulty bonding with the baby… just to name a few. This episode is a safe space. The panel discusses a variety of topics, including screening, medication, and barriers to treatment, all while doing their best to help stop the stigma and empower each other to create change in our local communities. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Texas Representative Toni Rose GUEST #1: Jessie Colbert, executive director of the Mass.

Women In Government Podcast State as a Model Employer to Engage the Disability Workforce According to the most recent U.S. Census data, there are more than 42-million Americans with disabilities. Across all age groups, these folks are more likely to be unemployed. That’s why state leaders, government agencies, and task forces are uniting to help advance inclusive policies and best practices that lead to increased employment opportunities for disabled people, and a stronger, more diverse American workforce and economy. This episode highlights how states can send a clear message that employment of people with disabilities is a high priority by implementing a comprehensive set of policies, practices, and processes, known collectively as State as a Model Employer (SAME) policies, to increase representation of people with disabilities within their own public-sector workforce. When acting as model employers, the states also have an opportunity to serve as test cases for private employers, demonstrating the economic and organizational benefits of hiring people with disabilities. Now is the time for leaders to take action. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Women In Government Board Director, Oklahoma Senator, Jessica Garvin GUEST #1: Minnesota Representative, Liz Reyer GUEST #2: Chief of Staff for the Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), United States Department of Labor, Anupa Geevarghese ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…

Women In Government Podcast Mental Health Matters We’ve learned a lot over the past few years, especially about our nation’s resiliency and ability to come together in times of crisis. However, we continue to uncover the hard truths about some people who regularly suffer and live with disadvantages based on their overall health and well-being. One area of interest that’s certainly capturing our nation’s attention is mental health. As it has been reported, more than 50-million Americans live with a mental health condition, and over half of adults don’t receive treatment. Untreated mental health conditions can negatively impact employee performance, rates of illness, absenteeism, accidents and turnover. People often quit their jobs, and some may entirely drop out of the workforce. This doesn’t just hurt our country on the human-level, but there are other consequences, like a smaller tax base, a reduced workforce and increased social expenditures for states and local communities. For all these reasons, and many others, (SEED) the State Exchange on Employment & Disability launched the Mental Health Matters National Task Force to develop a series of frameworks to help state and local policymakers craft and adopt policies to promote the inclusion of people with mental health conditions in the workplace and bolster the behavioral health workforce. What's more, the CDC finds over half of Americans are diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point in their lives, and one in five will experience a mental health condition in a given year. These are more than numbers and statistics. These are the faces of our neighbors, friends and family members. This episode highlights how state and local lawmakers can work on policy and strategies that lead to the best and most promising practices that advance legislation which supports, promotes, and enriches the lives of those living with a mental health condition. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Women In Government Board Member, Colorado Representative, Dafna Michaelson Jenet GUEST #1: Oklahoma Representative, Ajay Pittman GUEST #2: Arkansas Representative, DeAnn Vaught ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…
Women In Government Podcast The Cost of Osteoporotic Fractures Low bone mass and the deterioration of bone tissue are two ways to describe Osteoporosis. More the 53 million people either have this bone disease or are at high risk of bone fractures due to low bone mass. How does this affect us on the state-level, and what does this mean for our country’s overall health and wellness? On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses the action steps we can take today to address the differences in the clinical and economic impact of fractures suffered by Americans on Medicare. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Hawaii Representative, Lauren Matsumoto, WIG Board Vice Chair GUEST #1: Illinois State Senator, Julie Morrison GUEST #2: Claire Gill, CEO, Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…
Women In Government Podcast Disparities in Cancer Outcomes Cancer is comprised of more than 100-diseases affecting all population groups in the United States. However, due to social, environmental, and economic disadvantages, a few groups bear a disproportionate burden of cancer. Hispanic/Latino and Black women have higher rates of cervical cancer. American Indians/Alaska Natives have higher death rates from kidney cancer. Those numbers are surprising and hopefully eye-opening to many in the medical community. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses the unique barriers that women and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) face in accessing screening, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. #AccessToHealthCare ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Omeria Scott, Mississippi State Representative and Women In Government's Newest State Director GUEST #1: Dr. Gary Puckrein, Ph.D., President National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) GUEST #2: Dr. Liza Kunz, M.D., Medical Affairs Leader, Roche ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…

Women In Government Podcast Type 2 Inflammation: Health Disparities & Impact on Minority Populations People living with type 2 inflammatory diseases often feel limited by unpredictable symptoms and isolated in their experiences. For example, the condition can contribute to the debilitating itch of atopic dermatitis or (AD), and sometimes life-threatening asthma attacks, or the loss of smell and taste associated with chronic rhinosinusitis or (CRS) with nasal polyps. Living with these chronic diseases and searching for control, people have looked for answers and found few. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses the health disparities of this chronic condition, the disproportionate impact on minority populations, and the prevalence of this disease across the country. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Illinois State Senator, Mattie Hunter, Midwestern Regional Director, WIG Board of Directors GUEST #1: Dr. Gary Puckrein, Ph.D., President, National Minority Quality Forum (NMQF) GUEST #2: Kenny Mendez, CEO and President, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA) GUEST #3: Dr. Debra Sierka, PharmD., Head of Dermatology, US Medical Affairs, Sanofi Genzyme ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…

Women In Government Podcast Alzheimer’s Disease: The Importance of Early Detection & Diagnosis Quality care for people with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias starts with an early, documented and disclosed diagnosis. However, less than 50% of people with dementia are diagnosed and of those who are—less than 50% are told. According to the World Health Organization, tens of millions of people worldwide live with Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is expected to grow in the coming years, outpacing the healthcare resources needed to manage it and costing billions of dollars. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses why it's important for states to consider policies that promote early detection and diagnosis - including public awareness programs and health care professional education and training that creates the infrastructure necessary to address the growing public health crisis. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Massachusetts Representative, Danielle Gregoire GUEST #1: Catherine Freiman, Medical Director – Alzheimer’s, Biogen GUEST #2: Jennifer Rosen, Director of State Affairs, Alzheimer’s Association GUEST #3: Minnesota State Senator, Carla J.

Women In Government Podcast Lessons Learned: Caring for Employees, Patients and the Community During COVID-19 To say that the COVID-19 pandemic made us readjust to a “new normal” is an understatement. Over the past several months, we’ve grown accustomed to social distancing, wearing masks everywhere we go, working from home and attending multiple virtual meetings throughout the day. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses the lessons learned while caring for employees, patients and the community during these uncertain times. Over the past few months, we have seen unprecedented levels of collaboration, increased use of technology, and new ways of working that we would never have thought possible. 2020 may have been a year like no other, but it has certainly transformed our workforce and health care community into stronger versions of themselves. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Idaho State Senator, Abby Lee GUEST: Lauren Duprey, Head of HR U.S. for Takeda ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…

Women In Government Podcast The Co-Pandemic: Breaking Down Barriers to Mental Health Access in the Age of COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic is making an existing mental health crisis worse. Experts are warning mental health issues and substance use disorders will be exacerbated for people who already have these conditions, and may lead to new mental health and substance use issues in the general population. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses how methods to restrict access to lifesaving medications can hurt patients and state budgets. Health outcomes data shows that prior authorization policies for psychotropic medications in Medicaid patient populations have led to poorer outcomes for patients, including medication discontinuation, lapses in care, homelessness, emergency room visits, incarceration and an increased use of crisis services. Mental health treatments are not one size fits all. Treatment plans should be designed between a patient and their doctor. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Connecticut State Representative and Women In Government Eastern Regional Director, Christie Carpino GUEST #1: Reyna Taylor, Vice President of Public Policy & Advocacy, The National Council for Behavioral Health GUEST #2: Dr. Manpreet K.

Women In Government Podcast Social Justice Our country has been at unrest for quite some time now, but it seems like everything came to a head the moment an African American man took his last breath while in police custody. George Floyd’s untimely death in Minneapolis, Minnesota sparked outrage all around the U.S. resulting in protests and cries for police reform. At times, it may seem like no one is listening—but a group of high power chief executives of almost 200 large companies are working hard to move the needle when it comes to “real change.” On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses one of the hottest topics in our country, social justice and how people in influential positions are working with civil rights organizations, law enforcement, elected officials and other businesses on the local, state, and federal levels pushing for change that addresses injustices in law enforcement. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Colorado State Senator, Julie Gonzales GUEST: Ken McNeely, President of AT&T West ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…

Women In Government Podcast BIOEquality Agenda “All men are created equal.” Five simple words that when put together lay the foundation of what our Founding Fathers had in mind for this great land that we live in. To make that dream a reality for all people, especially underrepresented populations, like women, people of color, and those in the LGBTQ+ community it takes bold and brave leaders who challenge companies, the government, even ourselves to make diversity more than just a word or program, but a true part of who we are and what we stand for. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses the BIOEquality Agenda—ensuring scientific justice by building bridges to minority communities. We’re tackling some big issues by taking on the inequality, injustice and unfair treatment aimed at women and communities of color through the positive force of biotechnology. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: New Jersey Assemblywoman, Shavonda Sumter GUEST: Dr. Michelle McMurry-Heath, president and CEO, Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO) ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…
Women In Government Podcast Bridging the Education Divide COVID-19 has not only turned our healthcare, community, and business landscape upside down, it has also impacted our education system. Approximately 50 million students will attend school from home for at least part of the 2020/21 school year due to the pandemic. This dynamic shift in the method in which education is delivered has brought with it a host of problems, including the fact that millions of students without connectivity are disconnected from virtual classrooms and are wholely unable to participate in school. On this episode of the Women In Government Podcast, our panel discusses the digital divide in terms of children’s inability to complete their homework because of the gap in internet access. The situation it creates for students can easily be referred to as the HOMEWORK GAP. Similarly, with so many children now attending all or part of their actual school day virtually, what served as the HOMEWORK GAP has morphed into a more pressing SCHOOLWORK GAP, where students are unable to attend school. Fortunately, there are industry leaders who are stepping up and helping communities all across the country access the internet. Whether you live in a big city, small town or somewhere in between, where you live should not determine where you go in life. We learn that access to the internet means access to opportunity. ••••• ••••• ••••• MODERATOR: Texas State Representative, Toni Rose GUEST #1: Dr. Kiesha Taylor, Senior National Education Administrator at T-Mobile GUEST #2: Gabriella (Gaby) Rowe, Grow Associates LLC, and Project Lead for Operation Connectivity ••••• ••••• ••••• For more information, please visit www.womeningovernment.org Audio courtesy of OSUCHLUCK Productions, www.osuchluck.com…
