#SameHere Schools: How Mental Health Impacts Each and Every Person with Eric Kussin, Rachel Baribeau & Stacey Gonzales

This May, the Be Podcast Network is proud to partner with Belouga and #SameHere Global for #SameHere Schools Month, focused on increasing mental health awareness in education. We're publishing a variety of conversations all month, which you can find on  Apple and Spotify

While the oft-cited statistic is that “1 in 5” people suffer from mental illness, the reality is converations about mental health are relevant and important to everyone — 5 in 5 people. 

In this discussion, panelists share their personal experiences along with stories others have shared, in order to expand and normalize a productive mental health conversation.
