May 28, 2024 Mental Health

What an amazing episode of Voices of Reason today as we discussed mental health as a product of body and brain health (and illness) and our lived experiences.  Co-host Margie Standard took the lead with guest Alloceia Hall, a staff person with Behavioral Health Link/Mobil Crisis Response and volunteer with the National Alliance of Mental Illness Savannah.  

There are services and supports in the greater Savannah community for those needing help achieving and sustaining behavioral health and the Georgia parity law preventing denial of service due to low or lack of income.  Rather than provide a synopsis of the show, we feel it is more helpful to use this space to provide links to more information and services and encourage you to listen to the show using this link:  Voices of Reason - Savannah Soundings (creek.fm).
