This month we created a mini-episode - listen for a look ahead into the new year, including upcoming guests and topics. We also talk about new and soon-to-be released resources, trainings, and other content from the MHDD national training center.

 

What we provide for the remainder of this episode, is something we value here at the MHDD National Training Center - information on mental health and resilience. This time of year can be a challenge for anyone, but particularly people living with trauma, mental illnesses, and disabilities. We talk about why this time of year is a challenge, direct you to resources, and leave you with action items that can help manage some of the potential struggles that manifest this time of year. Take a listen - we wish you an enjoyable holiday season and we will back with more content after the new year!
