Our Mental Health Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic Kaleidoscope

The various colors and forms in a kaleidoscope can symbolize your escape in time of difficulty and self-doubt. A kaleidoscope constantly generates changing symmetrical patterns from small pieces of colored glass, and therefore a kaleidoscope symbolizes anything that changes constantly.

In this new podcast, Suhani Jain will be exploring mental health and the effects of current events on the brain through a new, more colorful lens. This is episode 1 — “Our Mental Health Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic.”
