Description

For the second primary episode (we have a bonus episode each month) we talk with Chaplain Lou Ramos of Chicago concerning Depression and Anxiety. Lou discusses the importance of being upfront about depression and anxiety and gives us a very helpful acronym for guidance in discussing the subject with loved ones. The acronym is TALK (Time to Talk, Ask directly about the situation, Listen to what they say, Keep safety in mind).

Here are some of the resources that Lou recommends:
