Help for Anxiety in Teens
Solome Tibebu, creator of the web site Anxiety In Teens, gives a TEDx Talk about her experiences with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and panic attacks. As a youth (not that she’s old now, in her early twenties) she felt alone and had difficulty reaching out for help, but once she accessed professional care was able to work on managing the disorder and living a healthier life.
She created Anxiety for Teens because when she was a teen looking for information and community, she was unable to find anything appropriate online that provided both information and community. Now a popular and valuable resource, the site ...

To This Day: Recovering from Bullying
Heartwrenching and visually exquisite, “To This Day” is an animated journey into the effects of bullying.
Mental health problems, long lasting impacts on self-esteem, and other consequences result from bullying in youth. But as well as exploring those themes in touching ways, this video inspires people to recover and look to their own beauty. A great way to begin an anti-bullying conversation from the perspective of recovery instead of empty “end bullying” sloganeering, this video immediately went viral, with a To This Day Project campaign underway.
Shane Koyczan is an acclaimed spoken word poet who...

Why LOLCats Enjoy Petting
In the cutest, funniest, educational science video you’re likely to find, LOLCats are used to illustrate a report on a neuroscience study about why hairy mammals enjoy being stroked.
This brief and adorable production from Nature Video mixes LOLCat images with narration about a experiment with mice that found specific neurons are activated when they are stroked versus other physical sensations, and that when the mice were given a choice they preferred the stroking effect. Although the study didn’t examine cats or humans specifically, it is theorized that all hairy mammals enjoy stroking each other because of t...

Healing PTSD with Pets for Vets
“Healing Power of Pets: Veteran with PTSD finds new life with dog” is a video profiling a United States Marine Corps veteran who served in the Iraq war and like many returning veterans, suffers from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Blade, a brave, strong man, developed debilitating symptoms of PTSD including suicidal thoughts, and nearly ended his own life.

Babies are Smiling for Science
Babies smiling at their mothers, and vice versa, were studied for signs of healthy development using a video facial tracking system.
In one finding, at around six months of age a baby will start to look away from its mother if she’s not smiling at it, which indicates interest in its environment, a normal stage of development. A failure to respond in typical ways may be indicative of developmental disorders like autism, and early detection can lead to early intervention and better outcomes.
In “Baby Smiles Provide Clues to Healthy Development,” a brief video from the National Science Foundation‘s fas...
