Your Mind Matters

Your Mind Matters is a mental health initiative of Nashville Public Library. Our hosts hold conversations with local mental health advocates on various topics through a mental health lens. There have been many efforts made to destigmatize mental health, especially post-pandemic. We want to continue to break this stigma by creating a space for listeners to learn and receive resources for mental health and wellness, while holding unconventional conversations addressing the many ways mental health can be affected both negatively and positively.
