LOS ANGELES, June 26, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What are the biggest mental health challenges facing Black people? What is mental wellness and how do you achieve it? How do you overcome the stigma of seeking mental health services? Why is it important to talk to a counselor who is culturally sensitive?
These and other key questions will be answered in a ground-breaking new podcast series, “You Are Not Alone: Your Guide to Mental Wellness,” presented by KJLH-Radio Free 102.3 FM Los Angeles and produced by The Chicago School.
