Introducing the first three-part conversation of “Mental Health Trailblazers, Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up,” where our host Indrias Kassaye will be connecting with three current Minority Fellowship Program Fellows to discuss the crucial role and representation of men in nursing.

The first guest in this series is Shelby Husband, a third-year doctoral student at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. Upon graduation, Mr. Husband will focus his practice on expanding mental health services to minority youth and improving mental health in the public school system for children and adolescents.

Learn how training within the military kindled Shelby’s passion to pursue nursing. Together, Indrias and Shelby touch on the importance of having diverse representation in order to improve health outcomes for patients as well as to continue to inspire future generations of psychiatric and mental health nurses from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Tune into this impactful conversation series featuring key perspectives and understandings on men in nursing and how to come together to grow this sector as a whole. To learn more about Shelby Husband, visit https://emfp.org/mfp-fellows/doctoral/shelby-husband.
