On this episode, we sit down with USciences very own, Darren Friedman, who shares his passion for psychology and the importance of mental health. With being a licensed counselor and therapist in the state of New Jersey, Darren walks us through his holistic approach on recognizing and navigating challenges that could be impacting your daily life.

As our culture becomes more accepting on recognizing the importance of mental health, please know you are not alone! There is never a "right time" to reach out to someone to start these conversations and fortunately most appointments today can occur virtually.

Season 2 is rolling right along with our next incredible guest - Mr. David Forde, VP for Community & Government Affairs at University of the Sciences.

We chat with David about how he always remained a "nice big fish" in some really big "ponds" like his career with the Philadelphia City Council & how his strategies in connecting with people then make it that much easier now to be the bridge between West Philly & University of the Sciences. 

You can check out other amazing work that David is doing with the new organization Better Civics (@bettercivics on Instagram and bettercivics.org online) which focuses on "revolutionizing civic engagement & voter participation"
