Welcome to “Live Well and Thrive,” a podcast recognizing the hard work, dedication, and diversity of our team at Kaiser Permanente Northern California. While happiness is a seemingly simple concept, personal well-being and contentment takes different shapes and forms for each of us – so not always so straight forward, yet an important topic to explore as we look to support each other’s well-being and life journeys. Today we are joined by Demond Hill, a PhD candidate in the Department of Social Welfare at UC Berkeley to discuss black joy and happiness – and his research behind mental health and emotional well-being of Black youth, their families, and communities. As always, I invite you to share what’s on your mind, ask a question or suggest a topic or guest. Send it to LiveWell&Thrive@kp.org. And whether you’re listening on your commute or during a down moment, keep those comments coming.
