Description

Michael Baker is our guest today. He's the director of emergency medical services for the Tulsa Fire Department. He saves lives, he innovates and, well, he likes to garden. We asked Jessica Kelly, who oversees our Homeless Outreach and Rapid Response team to interview Michael because they are friends and work closely together.

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.
