Bonus Episode - Coronacast 7: Lauren - Supporting Mental Health Now and Later

Today's coronacast features my friend Lauren. We met through someone I was dating back when I was 18. We've stayed in touch through social media, but we haven't spoken in over 15 years. We spoke about her role as a parent and as a mental health worker. Her work is even more vital these days. We cover adjustments in both roles, some of her frustrations, and some changes we need to make to support better mental health in our society. (Lauren mentions EMDR therapy in this episode. See the website for more info.) I found our discussion interesting, and I hope you do, too. Listen on Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts. Enjoy, subscribe, rate, review.
