Hello, Podwalkers! We've missed y'all and we are back! Well, we're here at least with a new episode. Today we talk a little bit about what has been going on with each of us and the struggles as well as the coping strategies we are using as best as we can. We cover the Translifeline event from this past weekend and look to the future with how to use our platform

We also finally have a Linktree with all of our discounts/resources

As promised, we keep Mental Health Links available every episode. But For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.
