Track: Analytics
Michael Ross, MSW, LCSW is a nationally recognized thought leader that specializes in identifying future trends, translating research, and developing collaborative solutions to complex problems. Of note is Michael’s conceptual framework that allowed for the adaption of OpenBeds to mental health and addiction. In addition, Michael is the creator of Meme Guard Theory (TM) and the Meme Stress Immune Response Model.
As a clinician, Michael has spent his early career focusing on helping individuals and groups develop cognitive resilience and psychological resistance to trauma, neuro-cognitive warfare, disasters, and biologically toxic levels of stress. The core component of Michael’s work is the development of “Resilience Rated” citizens and cities that are capable of responding to, flourishing during, and recovering from disasters and mass violence. This is done by leveraging evidenced-based neurobiological interventions that encourage flourishing through narrative restructuring.
