Tuesday, 18 August, 2020
In this episode, my guest Mandy Medlock and I discuss how to COVID-19 has effected individuals with situational mental health issues vs. regular mental health issues. We also discussed a stigma about mental health in a particular community, among other things, so listen in! Our discussion is not scripted just two moms discussing how they are navigating through this pandemic and sharing their advice/experience with other parents. Mandy is currently employed at a private health care firm she was previously the Executive Director at nonprofits Justice 360 & NAMI MidCarolina. Mandy is a co-founder of nonprofit South Carolina Women in Leadership that strives to engage women in political and policy leadership. She serves on the board of directors of Work in Progress that seeks to find permanent employment for individuals living with mental illness. Mandy is also part of the Crisis Intervention Team for NAMI South Carolina that speaks to police officers in hopes of educating them on how to better interact with persons with mental illness. She is a single mom of two children, Christopher and Ella both are in their early twenties.
