In this week's episode of The Danger In Silence, Hannah talks with our guest, Monique Coombs, director of community programs at Maine Coastal Fishing Association. Monique provides insight into how she worked with NAMI to provide the fishermen mental health support during hard times at sea. With the stress of losing fingers, being lost at sea, and catching lobster for Maine's largest export, Coombs shares the importance of fishermen and their mental well-being.
