Special Edition: Celebrities on Addiction, Pandemic & Getting Help Dec 05, 2020

Show notes

Today we're talking with 'The Hills' star Jason Wahler and Billboard-charting singer Hilary Roberts about mental health, addiction, and how to get help.

Roberts founded the Red Songbird Foundation, which Wahler now co-chairs. Both of them overcame personal struggles with addiction and now dedicate their lives to helping others overcome it, too.

This topic is especially important during this pandemic. New research shows 2020 has triggered a rise in emergency room visits for cardiac arrest tied to drug overdoses, while the Kaiser Family Foundation reported a growing number of U.S. adults are struggling with a variety of mental health issues, increasing from 32 percent in March to 53 percent in July.
