View this recording of the Gray Panthers SB Network’s “Staying Sane in a Crazy World”. Thank you to our speakers Mia Winthrop MD, Local geriatric psychiatrist and Suzanne Grimmesey MFT, Chief of Strategy and Community Engagement, Santa Barbara County Department of Behavioral Wellness.

Moderated by Gray Panthers SB Network’s very own David Lebell, MD, topics include:

  • How does the approach of a geriatric psychiatrist differs from a general psychiatrist.
  • Insights on how to grapple with the emotional and psychological challenges we are facing in this “crazy“ world.
  • How, and when does the County wellness department engage with us and communicate important information in a way that is helpful, useful and actionable especially during crises and local events.
  • From the perspective of years with County Wellness how can we help ourselves and others to better deal with our crazy and potentially dangerous world.
