A Major Thank You
Danny has done a great job over the past 4 episodes to bring forward people to tell their stories. Danny had provided a platform to for his guests to share their Mental Health stories. Each story in their own way helps listeners understand and feel better, and potentially talk to someone about their own stories. Mental Health Role Models provides a voice for the voiceless, and is worth adding to your podcast rotation.
