All Together: The Family Science Insights Podcast

Delve into the complex landscape of infertility, join us as we discuss what infertility entails, its prevalence, misconceptions, and the importance of supporting loved ones facing this challenge. As it can be physically and mentally exhausting for the individual undergoing treatment procedures, understanding the emotional toll of infertility treatment and providing steadfast support can foster resilience and strengthen the bond between partners.
In today’s episode of All Together, host Dina Sargeant is joined by Sarah Roberts, a grief counselor who is currently undertaking a Masters of Social Work, focusing on involuntary childlessness and motherhood loss. With over 30 years experience in counseling, teaching and community work (current member ACA), Sarah established The Empty Craddle to support women without kids and who have lost the opportunity for motherhood to grieve the loss and create a life they love.
Embarking on infertility treatment as the beginning of a challenging journey, Sarah addressed the prevalent misconception that infertility is solely the woman's fault, which in reality, involves complex factors that can affect either partner. By recognizing the challenges and crucial emotional toll taking on both partners, we will understand how providing emotional support, sharing the burdens, nurturing hope, and communicating effectively help us to navigate the journey together.

When it comes to sibling relationships—sibling rivalry, jealousy, and empathy can take place. When navigating a sibling relationship alongside the challenges of disability, it may occasionally impact the dynamic, posing long-term challenges.
In today’s show, Dina is joined by Dr. Carolyn Shivers, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Niagara University, NY. Shivers has been a part of multiple research papers, many addressing the dynamics in a sibling relationship with a disabled sibling. The family system typically depends on the disabled child’s needs, such as doctor's appointments, which can create instability in some aspects of the routine.
Dina and Dr. Shivers talk about the implications this can have on the sibling dynamic, including jealousy and preferential treatment. Tune in to find out how impactful it is in the long run, and how you can provide emotional support to your teenagers.

With children off school and families gathering together, there can be a number of challenges families face on their usual routine. Everyone in close quarters, different celebratory traditions and cultures amongst the family. 
In today's episode of All Together, host Dina Sargeant is joined by Sarah Lee, clinical psychologist and PhD candidate. Dina and Sarah discuss the various dynamics within a family and how culture can change the ways in which parents approach parenting. Both share their own personal journey to finding their own autonomy outside family expectations and cultural practices, however negative that may seem to other family members. 
Especially during the holiday season, families all in one place with so many different traditions and practices, Sarah shares some ways to keep the peace amongst all family members while also creating new traditions for families to enjoy. Sarah and Dina also share their experiences with Sarah’s second interest field within the neurodivergent world.

I know what you’re thinking: How do art and communication go together? Family relationships can be conflicting, nurturing, or safe for each member. Sometimes individuals also perceive those relationships differently.
In today's episode of All Together, host Dina Sargeant is joined by Su Mei Tan, founder of Art Tearapy and an art therapist based in Melbourne. While she began her journey by building houses in third-world countries, she discovered her passion for helping children through art. This led to her exploration of art therapy, culminating in the creation of Art Tearapy. Art Tearapy focuses on using the creative mind to understand and improve physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
Dina and Su Mei discuss the various dynamics within a family and how these dynamics can either facilitate communication or create resistance to healthy communication patterns. They share observations on how people communicate, including how certain patterns can foster negative relationships among family members. Su Mei also explores how art therapy can be utilized for team-building exercises involving the entire family, encompassing both verbal and non-verbal communication.
