In this episode, the last of our month of check-ins with our previous guests, we heard from Micah Peace. Micah is part of the Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Mental Health (IDD-MH) Research Partnership. We have linked that interview below. Micah talks a lot about the importance of slowing down, listening, boundaries, and how this global situation is shedding light on long-standing issues. We enjoyed hearing from them and hope that our listeners can take a moment to consider what you're doing in your own life to take care of yourselves.
