Welcome to our Radio Interviews
Welcome to our archives of on-air interviews, where the power of the airwaves meets the importance of mental health awareness. At Mental Health America of Putnam County, we believe in the transformative potential of open conversations and shared stories. Our radio interview is a platform for these conversations, bringing you insightful discussions, expert perspectives, and personal stories that aim to destigmatize mental health and promote well-being.
With their offices downtown, WREB, Greencastle and Putnam County’s radio station with the largest listenership for our area, has graciously invited us to monthly interviews the fourth Thursday of every month.
