Hosts Christian Powell, Jessica Whitaker-Fornek, and Scott Greeves bring the conversation around mental health, "out of the darkness." They discuss the stigma surrounding mental health, the stress that induces, and the resources people can access to get the help they need.

Welcome to MindTap: A scientific perspective on mental health.

MindTap is a student produced radio series, where each week we investigate the science of
mental health, focusing on issues that touch the lives of Southeast Idahoans.

Mental health issues are not black and white, they're more of a gradient. It's difficult to figure out when you
should get help. A safe bet is when you are worried about hurting yourself or others, but it’s best not to let yourself or a friend get to that point.

Logan Ramsey was born and raised in Pocatello, Idaho, and is now a senior studying journalism at Idaho State University. He's currently working as Digital Content Director for KISU and News Editor for The Bengal. His aspirations to be a reporter began his senior year of high school when he began to compete in International Extemporaneous Speaking in the National Speech and Debate Association. Halfway through his freshman year of college, he began to write freelance articles for the Idaho State Journal, and a couple of months later he was hired as a part-time reporter. Not long after, he began work as the Associate Editor of ISU's student newspaper, the Bengal. After a semester, he was promoted to Editor-in-Chief and stayed in that position for two semesters. In order to do more writing, he switched to the News Editor position at the paper. Logan is now working hard to ensure the Bengal has stellar news coverage.
