Building the Raft While Drowning: Searching for Mental Health Help & Hope in Rural America
Born out of a personal quest to understand and navigate the complicated system of behavioral health, podcast host and ND's Public Policy Ambassador for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Sarah Dixon-Hackey, offers listeners an opportunity to hear firsthand stories of providers and advocates working in the trenches of the mental health crisis. Guests are given a platform to share the ways they are making an impact, community resources for navigating behavioral health, and a better understanding of the ways in which public policy shapes our current system.
