Putting It Together is a podcast series designed to help people working in mental health to learn new ideas, implement new skills and hear new approaches to their practice. This could include research expertise, clinical experience, lived experience, equity and social justice topics, or a mixture of all those and more.
We talk with a range of guests to get their ideas about how to put it together when working in this challenging and amazing field we call Mental Health.
We record this from Seattle, WA and our Northwest region covers Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. However, in this virtual world, we have connected with people from all over. We are very grateful to connect with you!
One of our goals is to provide free training in mental health topics, and now we are offering a podcast because we were told there weren’t many podcasts these days...just kidding.
But truly, we hope you hear some useful information and/or inspiration that helps you put it together when working in this challenging and amazing field we call mental health. Thanks for listening!
