Health & Wellness
In this NEP "On Location" podcast episode, Jim Aleski speaks with Dr. Brooke Bartlett from San Diego's Center for Trauma, Anxiety, and Stress at the 2023 NEP "We Need to Talk" mental and behavioral health conference in Las Vegas. Dr. Bartlett discusses her years of experience working with military and emergency services personnel and their families and the goal of making mental health a proactive process and not just a reactive process.
