We may be back… We may not!
I would consider this a bonus episode to season 1. Just taking a moment to be transparent about my experience with curating season one and my thoughts on whether this show will continue or not.

Do We Have Access to Mental Health Care? Part 2.
Even with so many of us struggling with mental health challenges, we still face a stigma that hinders our access to resources and the financial support needed for providers to have adequate services. Join me and others as we explore current obstacles to accessing mental health care as individuals with mental health challenges and as mental health providers in this mini three part series on 'Do We Have Access to Mental Health Care?'. In this episode, I sit down with Shara Ruffin, a highly decorated social worker, and we discuss her experience as a mental health professional who has personally dealt with mental health challenges. If you or someone you know has a mental illness, is struggling emotionally, or has concerns about their mental health, there are ways to get help.
