Speeches During Joy Walk 2020
These are the topics where there is beneficial research that isn’t reaching people. These aren’t the solutions you think of when the topics come up. These are Root Cause Solutions.
Most solutions we are encouraged to do in published articles are secondary prevention. Primary Prevention and Primordial Prevention seeks to prevent the problem from ever occurring in the first place. It carries the lowest cost per person and it prevents avoidable suffering.
Notice About Topics
Every topic has two approaches you can request:
- The research supporting solutions that should be mainstream knowledge by now
- How to implement the knowledge learned by researchers in individual lives
