Show Notes

More people are beginning to recognize the connection between community factors — quality of life, level of civic engagement, economic development, education, and many others — and individual well-being, including mental health. Dell Medical School, in Austin, Texas, has emerged as a hub for some of the latest thinking on how to approach community wellness in this more holistic way, as part of its mission to transform Austin into a "model healthy city." In this episode, Dr. Octavio N. Martinez, Jr., executive director of the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, and Dr. Clay Johnston, director of Dell Medical School, sit down for a conversation about how communities promote mental health and well-being that focuses on Austin but draws out key insights that have implications for all communities in Texas and beyond.
