In this episode, you’ll hear Dr. Barnum’s presentation that explores how the impact of trans-generational trauma effects our experiences of who we are, how we relate to each other, and how we understand our own traumatic experiences regarding events that happened before we were born.

Mental Health Association Oklahoma created The Mental Health Download podcast to share stories each week about mental illness, homelessness, incarceration and suicide, and how each can impact our lives in a profound way. Mental health affects everyone, yet the social stigma attached to mental health issues keeps so many of our family members, friends, colleagues and neighbors silent. Why are we so afraid to talk about these issues? Each week, our host Adi McCasland invites guests to share how mental illness, suicide, homelessness and incarceration have affected their work or lives.
