Is physical health separate from mental health?

At the Barnes Center at the Arch, we believe in approaching wellness in an integrated and holistic manner. In this conversation with Carrie Brown, Director of Counseling for the Barnes Center at the Arch we talk about the importance of pursuing mental health in many ways. We discuss the importance of inclusivity and how there is no “one size fits all’ approach to mental well-being.
