Just STARt the Conversation - Ep 48 - First Responder Mental Health and PTSD

How would you explain schizophrenia to someone who’s never encountered it before—say, a teenager or someone outside the medical field?

What are some of the most misunderstood symptoms of schizophrenia?

Dr. Christopher McCarthy, a St. Luke’s Penn Foundation Psychiatrist, joins the show to discuss what someone who is living with Schizophrenia may be experiencing, and how we can destigmatize what we think of when we think of Psychosis and Schizophrenia.

Just STARt the Conversation - Ep 49 - Unpacking Psychosis: A Conversation on Schizophrenia & Stigma

We will always be excited to talk to young people making an impact in the 'Just STARt the Conversation' podcast!

RUOK? (Are you okay?), was created to spread awareness about mental health struggles among students at Souderton Area High School. The abbreviation symbolizes how it only takes four letters in a text message to save a peer's life.

Students Adelina and Sammy, along with classmates and faculty, took this club and ran with it... all the way to the state capital! Their goal: to enhance school's communication of mental health resources with students.
