State Rep. Angel Roeser, Sen. Brad Starnes & Michael Rezkalla, PMHS

On today's episode of Within Reason with Mike Matson, Mike splits his time with State Rep. Angel Roeser, Sen. Brad Starnes & Michael Rezkalla from Pawnee Mental Health Services. It's "turnaround week" in Topeka, where state legislators have been kept busy voting on non-exempt bills. For freshman lawmakers State Rep. Angel Roeser and Sen. Brad Starnes, this week is also the approximate halfway mark of their first legislative session. In segments one and two respectively, the two share their stances on burgeoning policies and their first impressions of work in the Capitol Building. In the second half of the hour, Mike speaks with PMHS CEO Michael Rezkalla on Medicaid expansion, mental health advocacy, and ways to support the organization. Recovery Services Manager Eric Martin provides insight on self-harm and how to ask for help. Mental health resources are available at https://www.pawnee.org/.
