Mental Health can be a tricky topic, but seeing topics like depression, anxiety and medication discussed openly and honestly can inspire others to speak about their experience. The Mental Health Role Models Podcast, hosted by Danny Quin, is a place to continue the conversation knowing each episode will find the headphones of someone who needs it.
Board Certified Music Therapists Kathlynn Sell and Brandon Benguaich join the podcast to talk about achieving non-musical goals with music. We also dive into musical theory and discuss why people may be drawn to certain types of music in anxious/depressing times.
