MPR News PM Update
Dec. 20, 2018
Angela DavisToday we aired a conversation about mental health and students. The CDC says one in five children will experience a mental health condition in any given year, and that's not restricted to any age or cultural background. I spoke with three mental health professionals during a recent event called Call To Mind: Spotlight on Students. They discussed how to take the best care of a student's mental health so they can learn their best. And on Monday, tune in at 11 a.m. when I'll talk with two chefs about holiday traditions around food, and an Augsburg University professor on why smells are so tied to memories.  ~Angela Davis
