Do you or someone you know struggle with mental health concerns or insecurities? We're breaking the stigma of staying silent about mental health by bringing on Saleena Barnes - medical student, loving wife, and mental health advocate - to discuss the importance of maintaining your mental health. We acknowledge that we are not professionals or experts in the mental health field; however, we do acknowledge that we should make talking about and taking care of your mental health just as prevalent as we do with any other part of our bodies.
