In the Episode 5, the FINALE of For the People Podcast, we jump back to Pastor Michael McBride, W. Kamau Bell, and DeVon Franklin's discussion on mental health near the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The trio gets real about the ways  the Black community tends to deny our mental health concerns, how the newly-implemented lockdown would surely bring about its own set of challenges, and even how mental health knows no economic or social privilege. 

Lori Webster Fore and Justin Warren from the Hush Harbor team then share how they've seen mental health issues play out more than a year into the pandemic by discussing their own challenges, the apparent increase in suicides, and how we can help ourselves when we notice we aren't feeling our best. 

Take a listen to all of the gems dropped in our final episode and be sure to carry them with you as you move forward.
