I have no idea why she is talking over loud music. Horrible format. Unsub.

As a psychiatrist who works with this population, I found this episode very informative, engaging and helpful regarding just what matters for new moms going through postpartum anxiety and depression- thank you for doing this- i have recommended it to my colleagues in psychiatry and ob-gyn as well to several patients!

There is still stigma and shame associated with mental health issues, & it’s easy to feel so alone when dealing with such difficulties. This show addresses so many pertinent issues, with guests who have direct experience, & professionals with a range of expertise. I’ve learned so much, listening to this podcast, and also felt a reassurance that we’re not alone in this. Anyone who is dealing with issues or has a friend or loved one who is (so, pretty much all of us!) can gain so much knowledge and also reassurance from listening. Thank you Debra and staff! Bravo!!

Thank you, Debra and team: for your timely podcasts - so many topics have been so helpful for myself that I can’t name them all here-and in particular for bringing to the fore experts in the fields you cover who are of our community and of African American descent. It adds an angle and perspective so often sorely missing.

Debra Sloss is providing a critically important service to communities needing support regarding mental and emotional health. Her episodes on race and mental health were thoughtful, informative and educational. State of Mind is providing an important and critical service. I was particularly impressed with the show about the mental health of police officers. I thought this was a fantastic show. I learned so much about the pressures cops are under and the efforts that are being made from the inside out to reform the police department. The guests were honest and forthright, much more than I expected law enforcement officers to be. Laurel Andres spoke so clearly and powerfully about trauma in the life of officers and what is being done about it in our country. I learned a lot from the this program. It gave me more empathy for police offers and first responders and gave me more hope that there are people in the system who want to change the culture that has led to police killings of Black and brown people all over the country. Thanks for providing such excellent programming. Laura Davis

I recently started following Debra Sloss's podcast STATE OF MIND after listening to episode #27 "Mental Health Crisis Tool Kit". Debra gave excellent in-depth interviews, allowing all 3 guests to tell their stories. Debra's respectful and timely interjections, were very helpful to the audience, as she asked each guest to elaborate further, as to providing websites, application documents, and references pertaining to their experience. 🌺

Debra’s latest episode is a must listen for 2020. Debra has a compassionate interviewing style and the episode is rich in emotion and information to deal with the mental health impacts of a disaster. So helpful!

Thanks for interviewing fascinating people and providing an uplifting and informative experience each and every podcast!!!

This podcast offers an entertaining and educational lens on mental wellness. I learn something new every episode. Keep the episodes coming!

I learned (was reminded) of self care steps to take during the quarantine. I enjoyed listening to the 3 knowledgeable speakers.

As a clinician and a Santa Cruzian, I’m grateful that this show is educating our community.

Interesting deep dive into important social issues.
