ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this episode we tackle the important topic of mental health in academia. Shockingly, the likelihood to experience depression and anxiety is six times higher in graduate students as compared to the general population. However, there is still a strong stigma surrounding mental illness and a lack of institutional support.
Wendy, our guest and CEO as well as co-founder of Dragonfly Mental Health, tells us more about her personal journey of becoming an academic mental health advocate. She also explains how the globally operating, non-profit organization Dragonfly aims to change the climate and culture surrounding mental health.
