For decades, social workers and researchers have grappled with the problem of high substance abuse among youth experiencing homelessness. Adolescents tend to resist help from adults, and peer-led groups (while often effective) can sometimes turn toxic and lead to more drug use. Anamika Barman-Adhikari shares how social workers can now harness the predictive power of AI to assess a teen's risk profile and place them in the group that best supports their mental health and long-term sobriety.
Dr. Anamika Barman-Adhikari is an associate professor of Social Work at the University of Denver. Her research focuses on preventing HIV & substance use among high-risk youth and other vulnerable populations. She studies how young people's social relationships, both in-person & on social media, shape their behavior. Her programs use innovative technology to improve social connections and prevent harmful behaviors. When she isn't geeking out about data and technology, she enjoys traveling, cooking, and watching movies with her husband and two daughters. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I could see this being really useful in schools with high rates of bullying! huge problem in NZ, i wonder if linking a school AI unto students feed may help school social workers or councellors in schools. a great way to set up a less stressful classroom environment.

God loves you and takes care of you. The biggest loss that a person loses in this life is to live and die while he does not know God or His Messenger, Muhammad, the last of the prophets and the Islamic religion, the last of the heavenly religions, from intelligence. Before you believe in something or not, study it and try to understand it well, and then you have the choice. By reading the Noble Qur’an with translation and trying to understand it before time runs out

I see that's a big issue in Developed Countries like US/UK but it's currently irrelevant/useless in India. From Birth to Adulthood we are with our parents most of the time and we don't even think of even smoking cigarettes. However, some still do but most of us are educated enough to understand what's good for our body and what's not. Thanks for the episode.

That is a very privileged perspective. Pretty sure 19 million children living on the streets in cities would disagree.

Unhoused? How about we stop with these non sense euphemisms

@msaunders908 Жыл бұрын

The verbiage actually has a purpose! "Unhoused" acknowledges that our government and society has the resources available to shelter these people but actively chooses not to. It emphasizes the moral and humanitarian duty that we have to care for the most vulnerable in our society. Many studies have found that the most cost effective way to help people on the streets (from a government standpoint at least) is to give them a safe, decent place to live. That stability alone improves mental health, reduces substance abuse, and gives the formerly unhoused person an address that they can use when applying for jobs.

Is that why social workers are so bad at their jobs? I'm officially retired but I've had to deal with social workers my entire life due to my occupation. The one thing that I have noticed is that they are completely clueless to the reasons why Street kids are the way they are. Not just teenagers but adults as well. We will use adults as a example. Social workers refers to everyone as homeless which is false. Majority of those are bums. The real homeless people don't stay homeless for long. They maintain their hygiene, most of the time you don't even notice them from anyone else. As long as you keep grouping homeless people with groups of people that have drug problems or perhaps they are mentally ill. The problem is just going to keep getting worse and to add insult to injury, we are spending millions of dollars that does absolutely nothing to solve the problem. Do you know why alcoholics typically relapse? It's because you're not treating what's causing the problem. You treat everybody like their a drug addiction when in reality at least 60% of those alcoholics are addicted to the social aspect of things. If you don't fix the social aspects then they will never be cured from alcoholism.
