In this week’s episode, Tripp interviews UNC-Chapel Hill graduate student Gabi Herter. Gabi is currently completing her Master of Public Health with a concentration in health policy. She is particularly interested in improving the accessibility of mental health services, such as peer support centers, on campuses across the nation. After Gabi faced mental health concerns of her own and struggled in finding accessible resources, she realized the gravity of the crisis that she was not alone in facing. Having grown up and completed her undergraduate degree in Canada, Gabi also offers some unique perspectives on how the collegiate mental health resources differ, all while leading listeners to a much bigger conversation- what is the solution?
