THE MENTAL BREAKDOWN (Ep. 14) - Safe Spaces: The Island's Inspiration for Mental Health

Dr. CD & Milla Budiarto
Milla was a colleague of mine at the University where I had taught before making my venture northward to the jungles of Chiang Mai Province. She continued her teaching and administration work with foreign affairs until recently where she embarked on a new journey. Before having left, we would discuss the need for mental health services and shared the common interest. She has been running a support group for mostly expat women in Phuket, but has branched out to helping men and locals across the entire island. She has just made the move official by leaving the university and opening officially starting a business to provide services. We discuss the financial aspects of making something like this both feasible to sustain and able to reach those in need of these services. You can listen to more to get the full story. I have also provided links to help support her and look into her project.
