In "Building Stress Resilience," the author examines the necessity of viewing resilience not as a personal trait, but as a measurable, adaptable, and evidence-based strategy for primary prevention. The author argues that unaddressed, prolonged stress is linked to serious health issues, impaired cognitive performance, and the onset of mental health conditions. The article highlights that building resilience offers wide-ranging benefits, including enhanced cognitive performance , stronger social connections , and improved quality of life. By introducing The 5-Elements of Systemic Wellbeing Framework (Secure, Regulated, Valued, Decided, and Related) , the author advocates for a shift from reactive models to proactive strategies that strengthen entire systems of care, leading to healthier individuals and thriving communities.

In "The Mental Health Crisis: Are We Treating the Disease, or the Dis-Ease?," Celina Hu examines the failure of current mental health models to resolve escalating rates of distress. Hu argues that traditional treatment focuses almost entirely on the Medical Model, diagnosing and managing symptoms while overlooking root causes like existential loneliness and serious systemic issues. The article explores the concept of Sociogenic Illness, suggesting that a constant societal focus on pathology may inadvertently create a self-fulfilling prophecy, making populations susceptible to negative mental health narratives. By advocating for a paradigm shift, Hu emphasizes that effective care requires prioritizing prevention, defining health as "flourishing," and building on existing strengths to empower individuals and address the underlying 'dis-ease' affecting society.
