Mind Tap is a student produced radio series that investigates locally important mental health topics. Spearheaded by Rhesa Ledbetter, a Professor of Biology at Idaho State University, Mind Tap is co-hosted by Scott Greeves, Jessica Whitaker-Fornek and Christian Powell.
Mental health is important. We all have mental health, good, bad or something in-between. It’s an avoidable and sometimes beautiful part of the human experience, which is intrinsically linked with our personalities and lives. However, mental health is diverse and can be exceptionally challenging. In much of western society, mental health is still not easy to talk about and it can seem that topic is hushed by a stigma. To give mental health a voice, we gladly present Mind Tap; providing a platform to incite thinking and conversation around a sometimes-difficult topic. We hope that we can learn from each other’s experiences and feel more comfortable talking about and improving our mental health.
We hope you will join us for Mind Tap, Friday mornings at 7.35am.
