Understanding Mental Health, hosted by psychologists Dr. Cameron Staley and Dr. Jennifer Miesch, answers your questions about mental health and counseling. As stigma around mental health and help seeking declines, there is an ever increasing need for accurate information to inform conversations and practices around mental health care. Understanding Mental Health seeks to fill the gap between mental health awareness and expert understanding for the Bengal community. Sponsored by the ISU Counseling and Testing Service, Understanding Mental Health airs the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. on KISU-FM.
