Coronavirus May Be Harder On Mental Health In Rural Areas

Texas A&M University

Dr. Nick Patras of the Texas A&M-Commerce Counseling Center reflects on an article reporting a study that finds the mental-health effects of the coronavirus may be more damaging in rural areas than in cities because fewer mental health services and facilities are available.  Members of the public in need of counseling services may contact the Community Counseling and Psychology Clinic.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
