Mind Over Matter Psych Talks
Mental Health Podcast made to offer listeners a safe space to learn about psychology; in an attempt to reduce the stigmas centered around mental health and encourage guidance as well as support for the community.
Established by the people for the people.
The goal of Mind Over Matter Psych Talks is to provide an engaging platform within our community that promotes one’s understanding of the inner workings of the human mind by facilitating honest conversations involving our emotional, psychological, and social well-being.
In our pursuit to debunk myths and preconceived notions about mental health, we will devote our time and services to empowering our listeners by engaging in healthy discourse, promoting awareness, management, and treatment options.
Welcome and thank you for the support.
