The Path Forward: Mental Health with Maps
🎙️ Hosted by Dr. Gina Pasquale
In this episode, Gina sits down with Elijah de Castro, Health Solutions Reporter for the Keene Sentinel, for a wide-ranging conversation on connection, resilience, and the injustice embedded in our health care system.
At just 23, Elijah shares the deeply personal story of his father’s stroke—and the financial and emotional weight it placed on his family. That moment, and the system that failed them, would ultimately shape his mission as a journalist. Together, he and Dr. Gina explore the crisis of disconnection facing young people, the pressures placed on young men, and the healing power of human connection—at home, at work, and in our communities.
From surviving challenging life events to finding purpose in uncertain times, this episode reminds us why storytelling matters—and why our mental health depends on being seen, heard, and believed.
