"T" Time with Dr. Tarver

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
