In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re honored to share a new interview from Authority Magazine’s Mental Health Champions series featuring Chris Santarsiero and the work being done at Connections Health Solutions.

Chris shares insight on breaking down barriers to behavioral health support, strengthening crisis response systems, and building collaborative models that create better outcomes for individuals and communities alike.
