A Still Standing Podcast Interview with guest, Alexandra Fisher, a Licensed Social Worker in both PA and NY who has worked in a variety of settings including schools, outpatient mental health, outpatient substance abuse clinics with individuals, families & facilitating groups, and who currently provides individual & family therapy remotely while working full-time in case management and crisis intervention.
In the first of Still Standing Together's Foundations in Mental Health Episode Series, Alex offers perspective in understanding mood and personality disorders, which we hope helps make the process of reaching out and getting help feel easier and safer.

She touches on her meaningful and impactful work as a social worker supporting communities who are marginalized and then dives into types of mental illness, common symptoms, red flags, and how to treat them, including:
