Summary

This week’s guest is Kaitlyn Eder who happens to be The WoMed’s first ever psych nurse! Kaitlyn has worked in psych units across the lifespan but her passion mainly lies with adult acute care. Kaitlyn and D debunk misconceptions about the specialization and emphasize the importance of removing stigmas about mental health at large. The two also talk about the need for mental health training throughout the medical field, the downsides of outpatient community health centers, and incidences of police mishandling mental health emergency calls. Take care of yourselves WoMed community, until next week!
