I was the guest on “Straight Talk with Laural Porter” this week on KGW-TV for a 2-part special called “Mental Health in Oregon”.

We talked about recovery, music, mental illness, the future of the Affordable Care Act, homelessness, the Keep Oregon Well social movement to end stigma and more! Dr. Derald Walker from Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare is also a guest on the show.

Watch both segments below!

“Straight Talk: Mental Health in Oregon (Part 2)”

Thanks to NBC’s “Live at 7” for the hometown love and for having us on to chat about our new record, mental health advocacy, coming out as a person with mental health struggles, and more this week.

We love you, KGW!
