INTERVIEW TIME BESTIES! Carys talks with Dr. Gary Howell, a gay psychologist and Director of the Institute of LGBT Health and Wellbeing in Tampa. Dr. Howell has a distinguished career in Psychology, LGBTQ+ Advocacy, and Nonprofit Work. Dr. Howell discusses how he got started in advocacy work, what role he felt made the most impact, and gives advice to youth. Carys and Dr. Howell share their thoughts on the responsibility of organizations to fight for mental health equality, intersectionality, discrimination, and how recent events are affecting our mental health. Plus, the drop on why homophobia should be called bigotry (unless people are truly afraid of the Gay Agenda) and why posting quotes on Facebook does nada. OKAY, FINE! WE DISCUSS A LOT! Just listen to get to scoop on Dr. Howell's expertise!!!
