Ep 27: Harvard University Murder / Barriers to Accessing Mental Health Care

Welcome to episode 27, the one with all the bugs and workarounds. Persistence has paid off and although this episode is a pretty much a rough cut with no music and just enough editing, it’s a good one. You will not be sorry you listened, but… you may have to turn up the volume. 

This week we discuss the murder of Trang Phuong Ho who was murdered by her room mate Tadesse Sinedu. The case brought up questions about what Harvard University had been doing to support those with mental health concerns in 1995. The discussion has continued into current times. We’ll discuss the state of mental health services today and barriers to accessing care.
