Description

This week’s podcast features Adam McCreary, the senior manager of government relations for the Cherokee Nation, interviewed by our own advocacy specialist Jake Glantz. 
Adam said, “Feel comfortable opening a dialogue with the political leaders in our state because they need to hear from you. They need to hear your stories. They need to know what you're going through on a daily basis. They need to know the challenges that you're facing related to mental illness, and that's just critically important to this process.”

Mental Health Association Oklahoma created The Mental Health Download podcast to share stories each week about mental illness, homelessness, incarceration and suicide, and how each can impact our lives in a profound way. Mental health affects everyone, yet the social stigma attached to mental health issues keeps so many of our family members, friends, colleagues and neighbors silent. Why are we so afraid to talk about these issues? Each week, our host Adi McCasland invites guests to share how mental illness, suicide, homelessness and incarceration have affected their work or lives.
