October is Mental Health Awareness month and HoCoCast discusses all things 988 with local expert, Laura Torres from the Howard County General Hospital (1:12). Learn who can use this service (spoiler alert: everyone!); discover why this is a helpline, not a hotline; explore how your privacy is maintained when accessing 988; plus much more to help anyone experiencing mental health issues. Then get ready for a few book and media recommendations (17:25) and a segment on self-care for anyone with a friend or family member dealing with cancer (18:53).
