Breaking the Stigma of Mental Illness

Did you know that one in five people live with a mental health
condition, but stigma and misinformation keep many from seeking
help and finding support? May is mental health awareness month
and featured on this episode are two mental health advocates to
help us understand the issues facing millions of Americans and
the obstacles that stand in the way of recovery. Madlyn Epstein
Steinhart is the author of a book of poetry called, Put Your
Boots on and Dance in the Rain, and Dior Vargas is on the staff
of Bring Change to Mind, founded by actress Glenn Close. Learn
