A Still Standing Podcast Interview with guest, Kyana Brathwaite, Healthcare Resource Specialist, CEO of KB CALS and Registered Nurse, whose experience spans over 20 years, where she has worked in a variety of healthcare settings. During her years as a registered nurse, she used these experiences to transition into multiple nursing arenas until starting KB CALS in 2016, a healthcare and planning services firm that fills the gaps between employee and employer understanding, benefits engagement and utilization, and empowers her clients to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
In the second episode of Still Standing Together's, "Foundations in Mental Health" Episode Series, Kyana offers perspective on effective communication practices, speaking up for yourself to prevent inequalities and what she calls, "negative healthcare experiences," and builds an awareness as a result of hers and the experiences of her patients while under her care.
Kyana touches on her instrumental practices and advice to help people in their healing process find awareness, feel validated and heard, and build confidence on how to make the changes necessary when you don’t feel supported by others in your life.
