Join us for this week’s episode of WSW! as Elea and Jasmine spotlight Nidhi’s experience with mental healthcare inaccessibility at Whitman and in Walla Walla. This episode was inspired by the Wire’s article by Alasdair Padman and Mat Chapin, “The limits of mental healthcare in Walla Walla”. We’d like to particularly thank Mat Chapin for their work in spotlighting and researching the detriment that BIPOC and LGBTQ+ students experience in living in a mental healthcare desert like Walla Walla. We encourage you to read the article in our bio! As always, Whitman So White! is not only a podcast, but a resource and community. Our DMs are always open to chat, for feedback, and for questions.
