It’s Time for the “T!” May is Mental Health Awareness Month. But the reality is our mental health is important every month. Dr. Tarver discusses signs and symptoms of mental illness, employer recommendations for creating supportive spaces for employees to address mental health, and strategies for investing in our mental wellness.

It’s Time for the “T!” We have come to the end of April and the “T” has been quite refreshing as we discussed identity, father-son relationships, and mother-daughter relationships. As we close out the month, some of you may be in the process of mid-term elections. This episode is going to focus on reasons we don’t vote in as high numbers in mid-terms as we do in presidential elections. We are also preparing for May episodes which will be focusing on mental health and wellness. #mentalhealthmoments #myvotemyvoice #fillinthegaps #communityfocused
