Podcast episode alert! This week I sat down with Catia Hernandez Holm on her podcast “Couch Time with Cat” to discuss issues surrounding Mental Health in Rural communities. Our conversation was both powerful, and emotional. A few tears were even shed.
Topics discussed include why Mental Health often is overlooked in smaller communities, how local economies shape stress, trauma, and childhood development in small towns, and how the current system in place is failing our communities.
Listen in, like, share, and help get the word out that small town Mental Health deserves as much attention as big cities.
