Into the Fold Podcast: Issues in Mental Health
Our podcast series is one of the ways we move from simply talking about our grantmaking to influencing dialogue and learning about mental health and well-being. Hosted by “Ike at the Mic,” our public affairs representative Ike Evans, the series captures the human implications of mental health and the factors that influence it, bringing you conversations with mental health experts, consumers, advocates, practitioners, researchers and community leaders from across Texas and beyond.

March 2023: Listener Question of the Month
March is Women’s History Month. Women have made profound contributions to the field of mental health. We would love to hear from you on this topic. We would like an answer to this question:
Can you name a woman who has significantly impacted your understanding of mental health, for you personally and/or in general? What was their impact? All examples are valid—i.e. it can be someone famous or a personal acquaintance.
We will accept responses as either written testimonials or audio recordings. Selected responses will be read or played during an upcoming Into the Fold episode. You will be notified if your response is selected. Respondents are kept anonymous by default.
Send your response to intothefold@austin.utexas.edu. If your audio file is too large to send via email, upload it to this Box folder. In such a case, you should still send an email so we know who you are. Thanks!
