Look Again is not only informative and resourceful, it is heartfelt and relatable. I’ve been listening since 2022 when I began collecting clinical hours for my LCSW in community mental health and had my first clients with schizophrenia. Listening to the show helped me to feel less intimidated by complex cases and inspired me to learn how to support and advocate for these remarkable clients. Thank you
