Episode 058 - The Impact of Children’s Mental Health on the Workforce with Marti Bledsoe Post and Dr. Ariana Hoet

On Our Sleeves is a national movement to break stigmas around children’s mental health. No family should struggle alone on their journey. Their mission is to provide free mental health educational resources to every community in America to educate families and empower advocates. They also support access to services by connecting families to trusted local resources.

Today we have Marti Bledsoe Post, executive director of On Our Sleeves and Dr. Ariana Hoet, who is the clinical director of On Our Sleeves and a psychologist at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. 

In Marti’s role with the On Our Sleeves movement, she leads strategy and operations.
