Our weekly program, Making Democracy Work, is a collaboration between KSMU Radio and the League of Women Voters of Southwest Missouri. It's hosted and produced by volunteers from the LWV, and it airs each Monday morning at 9:45 a.m. on KSMU. 

In this episode of our local program Making Democracy Work, host Erika Brame speaks with Whitney Mann, public health program representative with Springfield-Greene County Health Department.

Mann discusses the increasing need for mental health services and available programs and resources. She speaks about the Advancing Mental Health grant from CPO and a partnership with Burrell and the Healthy Living Alliance. The program is designed to provide a comprehensive mental health hub for the community.
