Dear Friends, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what GPB is. I mean, yes, we are media, and on an even more granular level we’re television, radio, digital initiatives, education, community engagement… the list goes on. But rather than the physical efforts of our labor (which is certainly important), I want to know what GPB is to the communities we serve around the state. I want to know that what we’re doing makes a difference in people’s lives, their choices and their depth and breadth of knowledge. We often say that public television and radio make us smarter, right?

Well, I want GPB to make you more than smart – I hope we help you build empathy. As Georgians we’re all in this together, regardless of political beliefs, religion, personal identity, etc. I want GPB to reflect all of us – a welcoming space – a safe space – a TRUSTED space.

Every dollar we receive is a gift, and it’s on us to ensure that those gifts, large and small, public or private are used to make our state a better place to be - Do more than engage communities but BUILD them and remain a part of them. And that is why you’re so vital.

We have been getting a great response to GPB Next, which tells me that this is something you enjoy and look forward to getting month after month. I hope what you consistently find between the covers of this book is a bit of that reflection of you. Without you there is no GPB, and I like to think that without GPB there would be a little less Georgia. Never forget the power of your generosity at any level. It’s literally because of it that we are here.

This month, NOVA brings us the fascinating two-part series Your Brain, a fitting topic since May marks Mental Health Awareness Month. We’ll hear more about that important topic in the GPB Radio section as well.

Also, we’re excited to launch a new community engagement initiative around the PBS series Iconic America that will spotlight Georgia.

And finally, if you’re in vacation planning mode, check out the article on our latest tours of England in 2024 featuring All Creatures Great and Small and more of your favorite programs.

YOUR A NOVA MINISERIES

Y

our brain – for centuries a black box – is slowly giving up its secrets to modern neuroscience, shedding light on big questions that go to the very heart of who you are.

How does your brain create your reality?

In the first hour of this twopart series, learn what the latest research shows about how your brain processes and shapes the world around you, and discover the surprising tricks and shortcuts your brain takes to help you survive.

YOUR BRAIN: WHO’S IN CONTROL? Premieres Wednesday | May 24 | 9 PM Are you in control, or is your brain controlling you? This episode dives into the latest research on the subconscious.

BRAIN PREMIERES MAY 17, 9PM

EXPLORE MORE FROM NOVA WITH THESE RESOURCES Dream Hacking: Decisions, Addictions, and Sleep Have you ever felt drawn toward choices without knowing why? Our decisions can be measurably influenced by events that evade the conscious part of our brains, and influences we are unaware of in our waking life, during dreamless sleep or even in our dreams can impact our memory and behavior.

Can We Build a Brain?

The world’s brightest computer programmers are trying to build brighter machines by reverse-engineering the brain and by inventing completely new kinds of computers, with exponentially greater speed and processing power.

Physics Is Erasing Your Memory You might store your precious memories in diary passages or in photos backed up on a hard drive. But thanks to physics, no memory can last forever — not in a diary, not in a hard drive, not even in your brain. If you could live forever, you would eventually forget everything.

GPB News Senior Health Care Reporter Shares Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellowship Features

Mental Health Awareness Month is observed each May to raise awareness of those living with mental or behavioral health issues and to help reduce the stigma people experience.

As part of GPB’s overall community engagement initiatives, we’ve created a web page at gpb.org/mental-health. You can find a variety of resources there, including reports from GPB News.

This month GPB News’ Ellen Eldridge shares a series of features she did as part of the Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism Fellowship.

I

’m Ellen Eldridge, Georgia Public Broadcasting’s senior health care reporter. I recently completed a Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Journalism fellowship. My project resulted in a series of features about school-based behavioral health in

Georgia, and any effects caused or worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Georgia’s Apex Program started in 2015 as a partnership between community-based mental health providers and local school districts. The “apex” is the students who are most at risk for behavioral health issues like substance use disorder and depression.

My first feature in the series examined how Apex works in Georgia, and how COVID changed it.

Ellen Eldridge speaks at The Carter Center.

Before the pandemic, teachers spent more time with students than many students did with their own families, but, when students had the greatest need for the state’s Apex program services, they were at home. gpb.org/news/2022/03/10/schools-often-id-kids-mental-healthconcerns-thats-where-georgias-apex-program A student who lost an uncle, her brother, and a classmate took it upon herself to organize a countywide Out of the Darkness Campus Walk. She did this to both raise awareness and destigmatize mental health needs. The North Georgia high school students advocated for school counselors and open communication about suicide. gpb.org/news/2022/04/13/she-lost-her-brotherand-classmate-so-high-school-senior-says-weneed-talk-about In my third and final feature, I noted Georgia has one school psychologist for every 6,390 students. The recommended ratio is 1 to 500.

My final feature of the series examines the ways people are being encouraged to work in the field of school counseling. gpb.org/news/2022/12/02/ encouraging-the-next-generationof-clinical-and-potentially-schoolbased This is the beginning for me, not the end.

GPB Donor Profile Matt and Victoria Rooks

GPB is always interested in hearing from our donors, and this month we’d like to recognize Matt and Victoria Rooks for their support.

When asked why they give to GPB, they both said that public television and radio is an invaluable service that provides families who can’t afford high-speed internet and cable with the same access to educational resources, news and information that their family depends on.

The couple found a renewed appreciation for PBS Kids during the COVID 19 pandemic with content that is age-appropriate, educational and intentional. Victoria further stated that the PBS Kids emails helped bring learning to a different level and gave her confidence to help her kids as they were being taught at home.

In addition, the couple credits GPB with helping to bring their family together, as the programming provides something everyone can enjoy, such as the GPB Original documentary, Rich’s Remembered, which sparked memories of shopping there for Matt’s mother. They also get travel ideas from GPB’s Georgia-specific content and enjoy learning about the state’s history.

Among their other reasons for supporting GPB, Matt and Victoria say they rely on NPR for news that helps them stay aware of current events in a way that is not sensationalized, and they are avid viewers of MASTERPIECE, Frontline and American Experience, as well as taking advantage of GPB Passport to find documentaries.

Thank you Matt and Victoria for supporting GPB!

Matt and Victoria Rooks with their sons.

Three Questions with Emory’s Dr. Chad Hales Dr. Chad Hales is Georgia Memory Net’s Memory Assessment Clinic Core Lead. We asked him about new treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease that may be available in Georgia soon.

Can you tell us about lecanemab?

Lecanemab is a new Alzheimer’s disease infusion that may help slow the rate of cognitive decline based on early results of a large clinical trial. We are expecting the FDA and Medicare to discuss whether the medication should be approved and covered by insurance as we get into 2023. The medication may help patients who have very mild memory symptoms and confirmation of Alzheimer’s disease changes in the brain. Patients who have more significant memory problems as well as other exclusionary criteria (like prior brain bleeding, certain blood thinning medications, other significant medical conditions) will not be eligible.

What new opportunities do you foresee for the treatment of Alzheimer’s in the near future?

The most important next step for Alzheimer’s disease therapeutics is prevention. New therapies like lecanemab may work even better if given before memory symptoms start.

The AHEAD 3-45 clinical trial, currently

Sponsored by the Georgia Department of Human Services.

Managed by the Cognitive Neurology Program at Emory.

enrolling, is testing whether or not lecanemab will prevent the onset of symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.

This is an incredible opportunity for those who have specific genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease because it is using lecanemab, which may slow the rate of cognitive decline.

What should someone who thinks they or a loved one might have Alzheimer’s or a related dementia do next?

In order to treat memory problems, you must know precisely why the brain cells are not working so that the correct treatment can be started. This highlights why it is important to speak with your medical provider at the first sign of any memory concerns to see if additional workup or referral to the Georgia Memory Net is a good next step. As new disease modifying therapies for Alzheimer’s disease become available, we suspect that the earlier you start the medicines the more likely the medicines will provide benefit.
