Dorothea Dix

Leah finishes up Personal Change Month with a gal who experienced the effects of mental illness and decided to create better conditions (not perfect) for those afflicted with mental illness. As Dorothea Dix fought for the humanity of the mentally ill, the culture started to shift more humanely as well. Knowing we still have *LOTS* to go in the field of mental health, learn about Dorothea Dix on this week’s episode. Joined by Klaire, Katie, and Bonnie.
