Joy94.9 alumni Dr Glen Hoskings dials in to discuss how the pandemic might be affecting our community from a mental health perspective. How can we get help? What factors might be contributing to our mental wellness? Should we limit our exposure to the news? Is there a benefit in counting our blessings? And David is keen to share the research from the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) examining the alcohol industry’s response to the pandemic.
