Introducing: Call to Mind

Kim Mills· Host0:00

Hi, this is Kim Mills, host of Speaking of Psychology. Today, we're sharing an episode from another podcast that we think you'll enjoy, Call to Mind, from American Public Media. Call to Mind is American Public Media's initiative to foster new conversations about mental health. This episode, The Strain of Stress, looks at the many pressures Americans are facing today, from financial worries to political division, how chronic stress can affect both mental and physical health, and how to manage the strain. You'll hear from two familiar voices, Arthur C. Evans Jr., CEO of the American Psychological Association, and Dennis Stolle, APA's head of applied psychology. If you enjoy this episode, you can find more from the Call to Mind team at calltomindnow.org, or wherever you get your podcasts. We hope you enjoy this episode.
