Are We Regressing? Mental Health in the last year and a half (Part 4 of What is Mental Health Series)

Join hosts Mackenzie Clough and Christine Thorp, with special guest Josh Mann for a discussion about how mental health has fared the last year and a half with removing funding, lowering access, changes to insurance, harmful rhetoric and changes to precedent. With June coming to an end, and it being Pride Month, as well as Men's Mental Health Awareness month, we explore the impacts to mental health through those lens as well as others.
