Listen to the full discussion belowSamuel Mwangi and Colene Lind discussed on the Daily Wave how research demonstrates that talking about a topic encourages others to take it seriously. Two Kansas State University units are putting this principle into action.
K-State’s Huck Boyd National Center for Community Media and Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy will co-host a community forum on mental health Wednesday, November 2, at 7:30 pm in the West Ballroom of the Student Union. All are welcome. The forum, titled “Breaking the Taboo: Destigmatizing Mental Health in Civic Conversations,” will cover ways that individuals and communities can encourage open and productive conversations about mental health. Three panelists will reflect and answer questions on the topic, including Tychelle Jones, LSCSW, clinical social worker, counselor and owner of 365 Days 365 Chances Counseling Services Dr. Kate McMillen, Lafene Counseling and Psychological Services Sakshi Bhati, K-State graduate student. Aliah Mestrovich Seay, executive director of UFM Community Learning Center, will moderate.
