Dec 06, 2023 Season 1 Episode 3
Cendie Stanford and Marni Stahlman

In today's day and age, caring about your mental health has been woven into our daily conversations; but, what about our community's mental health? What does it mean to care about our region's mental health at large?

In this episode, we dive into this topic with subject-matter experts that bring thought-provoking perspectives to the conversation.

You'll hear about:

  • mental health vs. mental illness, and the importance of the language we use
  • why you should know your ACEs number
  • mental health stigmas and why money isn't the only answer
  • innovative solutions that engage all sectors

Guests:

  • Cendie Stanford, ACEs Matter
  • Marni Stahlman, Mental Health Association of Central Florida
  • Plus, Mark Brewer and Sandi Vidal, Central Florida Foundation
