Join Dr. James D Walters, Assistant Professor Danielle Lydia Sheather, and Bits Shannon MS RN PMHNP-BC as we dive into mental health and the performing arts whether that be from the elite or amateur level. We discuss our collective interest in what it means to be a performer and effective methods to treat the whole person, including relationship building, menu of options, and being clear about potential side effects. The episode parallels vocal, equestrian, and dance training as Bits shares her interest in both voice and horses. We also hope for change with bills like Travel to Treat and hope that more legislation can pass to help guide mental health access while on our or even out of state.
