#303 Rocky Talk - Changing the Conversation around Mental Health--It’s Way Past Time
Update: 2022-04-04
Description
This episode's guest is John T. Broderick, Jr. the Senior Director of External Affairs, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Health (D-HH) and former Chief Justice, New Hampshire Supreme Court (2003 - 2010).
For years, John Broderick’s eldest son struggled with alcohol problems, which had masked a severe underlying mental health issue. One evening, that struggle resulted in an assault that sent John to the hospital and his son to prison.
As a family they survived and healed, and now use their experience to help educate others that mental illness is not something to be ashamed of. Rather, it is something to be recognized and to be addressed just as any physical illness would be.
Interview by Dartmouth student Shawdi Mehrvarzan '22. Edited by Laura Hemlock. Music: Debussy Arabesque no 1. Composer: Claude Debussy
