2020 Is A ‘Mental Health Tsunami’

According to an American Psychological Association released in July, Americans are feeling uncertainty, frustration, fear, and anger stemming from a global pandemic, a contentious presidential election, and for some, ongoing systemic racism. This hour, we hear about the cause of these stressors and why certain communities are at a higher risk and still face mental health stigmatization.
