You are Not Alone: Mental Illness and COVID-19 with NAMI's Dan Gillison Thrive With Chirlane McCray

Since the global pandemic began, the volunteer helpline run by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has seen a nearly 200% increase in calls. COVID-19 has exposed serious mental health needs in our country and long-standing inequities in our health system. What will the state of our mental health look like on the other side of the pandemic? Can we possibly come out stronger than we were going in? NAMI's CEO Dan Gillison joins First Lady Chirlane McCray for a conversation about serving and centering people living with mental illness, and supporting their families. And, a peer counselor shares how he found his calling.
