For the 80th episode of our Into the Fold podcast, we are sharing key takeaways from last month’s Robert Lee Sutherland Seminar, which took place in Bastrop, Texas. For one special day, people from across Texas, from all walks of life and professions, converged to learn together and share inspiration around the timely theme of “Working Together for Rural Well-being.”

Beginning in 1978, the Robert Lee Sutherland Seminar is a biennial event of the Hogg Foundation—each year focusing on a different mental health topic. For this special episode, we caught up with some attendees to get their reflections about the topics discussed at the event. Two themes emerged: the need to strengthen connections and move upstream.
