DR. RUTH C. WHITE IN THE MEDIA
On July 13, 2025, I spoke with Sara Stinson of KRON4 TV Bay Area (San Francisco) about mental health among racialized populations for Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. We spoke about challenges and solutions regarding access and utilization of mental health services.
In this KRON4-TV interview (May 7, 2025), I share insights on managing burnout, redefining success, and protecting our mental health in high-pressure work environments. As a therapist and career wellness coach, I offer strategies for recognizing when stress becomes unsustainable, and how to make space for healing.
In this KRON4 segment (March 12, 2025), I discuss the mental health impacts of inflation, financial stress, and rising costs of living. I offer practical tips for managing anxiety and maintaining emotional wellbeing during financially uncertain times.
In this KRON4 segment (April 6, 2022), I explain what panic attacks are, how they manifest physically and emotionally, and why they can feel so overwhelming. I also share practical strategies for managing symptoms in the moment and long-term approaches to reduce their frequency and intensity.
