In this episode we explore the stark realities of mental health care in rural and frontier counties.
Isaac is joined by Itzel Moya, a social worker raised in Dodge City who currently works with Western Kansans as a social worker, and Lowell Neitzel, a fourth generation farmer and a mental health advocate.
You can expect to hear about:
- the unique challenges faced by Kansans far from urban centers
- the staggering provider shortages
- the cultural complexities of agricultural life
- the mental health stigma in rural and frontier communities
- and much more.
