Join Jeff Olds, MSW, LICSW, a Mental Health Therapist at Fairview Grand Itasca, for an honest, practical conversation about men’s mental health on World Mental Health Day.

He’ll talk about asking for help, making therapy less intimidating and the important role friends, family and other support people can play.
