September 30, 2024

For individuals that struggle with mental health, the intensity of the challenges often evolve over their lifetime due to triggers or phases of life.


In this podcast we speak with Dr. Karen Swartz, psychiatrist and professor from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, about the continuum of mental health and common triggers, including those less often addressed, like regret and loss. Dr. Swartz also shares insight into the youth mental health crisis, the “dangerous levels” of stress that 41% of parents are experiencing, and more.


Tune in to learn how Dr. Swartz’s experience and guidance can help employers more deeply understand the mental health challenges their employees and families are experiencing and better provide meaningful support.
