Episode 10: THe STate of Africa’s Health and Wellness
As Africans we are keenly aware of the need to increase awareness on mental health; and decrease cultural biases and stigma on mental health. This episode, we chat with Dr. Carol Labor, a Doctor of Public Health whose research is grounded at the intersection of mental health and trauma with over 30 years combined professional experience. After 40 years of living in the United States, Dr. Labor recently returned home to Sierra Leone to focus on women’s wellness.
