When first responders, medical practitioners, mental health professionals, and public health experts come together, the healthcare systems can be an avenue for compassionate, evidence-based support. In this episode of Countermeasures, we explore science-backed innovations that help lower barriers to accessing care, rebuild trust, and improve outcomes.
