In this episode, we discuss mental health and how a long-standing stigma surrounding the topic has prevented some people from seeking the help they need. We talk with mental health experts about the importance of reaching out for help and the various resources available.

You'll hear a very unique and informative perspective on the topic of mental health from Vern Rennier, the Program Director of the Behavioral Health Unit at CHRISTUS St. Francis Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria, Louisiana. 

We also discuss other available resources and mental health initiatives CHRISTUS Health supports through the CHRISTUS Community Impact Fund, which is the grant-making arm of our organization providing financial and technical support to various programs and organizations across our ministries that respond to the expressed needs of our communities.
