Description

On this episode, the Drs. Washington will highlight mental health and wellness. May is Mental Health Awareness Month. For this episode, the Drs. Washington are pleased to be joined by Dr. Tammara Davis, a board-certified psychiatrist practicing for 15+ years in the Washington DC area who currently serves as Chief of Medical Operations for TeleHelp 247, a culturally competent mental health access company, to discuss this important and timely topic. Mental health and mental illness continue to be stigmatized especially within the Black community, and we hope that this episode will help to reverse that trend.
