Sprouts Radio from the Grassroots is a 30-minute weekly program featuring radio programs produced at community radio stations or by other independent producers from across the country and sometimes around the world.
Rebekka Reuter of Pacifica Radio Network talks with Dr. Scott Terry from Fairfield, IA. Dr. Terry is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and the Executive and Clinical Director of the Ardent Counseling Center. He is also host of “Mental Health Matters with Dr. Scott Terry” on 100.1FM KRUU, a low-power station in Fairfield, IA. The conversations centers on matters of mental health within the framework of the integrative therapy model. In the first half of the program, we talk about the stigmas of suicide, the variety of therapy, and what it means to be co-dependent in today’s world. The second half of the program talks about everyone’s tendency to maladapt to our problems. He’ll then talk on accessible therapy resources, and end with words of encouragement for the difficult road that is finding out what is right for you.
