Mental Health Day: Dr. Liz McKune offers info and advice

dizain/stock adobe.com

Today was another WFPK Mental Health Day, and while we certainly love taking your requests for songs that give you a lift, we also want to make sure you have the resources you need.

This morning Mel Fisher was joined by Dr. Liz McKune, Licensed Psychologist who is the Associate Vice President of Population and Behavioral Health for Passport Health Plan by Molina Health Care.

Dr. McKune shared some valuable information about social determinants of health, which are conditions in the places where people live, learn, work, play, and pray that affect a wide range of health and quality-of-life risks and outcomes.
