Felipe Aguilar talks with Sherri Rhoten, Executive Director, Southern New Mexico NAMI about what some people are calling a mental health crisis. Rhoten talks about the increasing number of adults, teens and children that are being diagnosed with a mental illness condition that sometimes goes untreated due to a shortage of mental health care providers or of the medications needed to treat the condition. She also provides practical information that will help family members talk about mental illness without creating a barrier or appearing judgmental. Learn more online at (https://naminewmexico.org).
