We have a conversation with Dr. Sarah Y. Vinson, a psychiatrist from Morehouse School of Medicine regarding the death of Tyree Nichols and the cumulative impact of various ongoing traumas on the mental health of the Black community. We had a good discussion concerning the elevated risk of harm people in mental health crisis have when interacting with the police. Finally Dr. Vinson had some good advice for all of us with respect to maintaining good mental health outcomes. Enjoy.
