Joining Julie and Chrissa this week are Mikhayla Hughes-Shaw and Simone Collins, Founder and Board President of How About HOPE (Helping Others and Providing Encouragement). Mikhaya, Miss Iowa 2018, founded How About HOPE to help create and sustain conversations about suicide and mental health. She was quickly joined by childhood friend and Heart and Solutions therapist, Simone Collins.

This week on  the show we hear about the work they are both doing with How About HOPE, barriers to mental health help for people of color, and their own journeys with mental health and counseling.
