In this bonus episode, we listen to a conversation between Reshmi Marhe (assistant professor at Erasmus University Rotterdam) and Laura van Duin (psychologist at De Nieuwe Kans, Rotterdam). Both are members of the ambition “Youth Delinquency and Addiction” in Healthy Start, a consortium that aims to better understand and support the healthy development of all youths in the Netherlands.
PAST (
00:01:40): We learn that Reshmi and Laura both obtained a PhD and worked in the same department. Their paths have since diverged: Reshmi continued focussing on research in forensic and legal psychology and Laura went into clinical practice, working with youth who struggle with delinquency and addiction.
PRESENT (
00:10:40): Reshmi and Laura give us insights into their daily work with youth in the Netherlands. Reshmi shares an incident where a research participant used substances during data collection, and how she dealt with that. Laura speaks about the legal implications and difficulties when working with youth who show delinquent behavior, and the emotional impact of her work on both the clients and herself.
FUTURE (
00:23:22): Reshmi and Laura speak about how the collaboration between research and practice can help us better understand and better support youth who struggle with the law and with addiction.
This episode is part of the spin-off series “(Re)Searching a Healthy Start”, in which we uncover the pathways and struggles of inspiring scientists and practitioners working together in the Healthy Start consortium. Healthy Start is part of the convergence of the Technical University Delft, Erasmus University Rotterdam and Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
