COVID-19 Community Report Sept. 1, 2020

Tue, 09/01/2020 - 8:02am | Autumn Labbe-Renault

This unparalleled time we're living through affects not only our physical health, but our mental health as well. Today I'll speak with Sara Gavin, LMFT/LPCC. She serves as Chief Behavioral Health Officer at CommuniCare Health Centers, overseeing a 100-person team of Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder services in Yolo County,  and also sits on the Board of Directors of National Alliance for NAMI-Yolo. We'll speak about current mental health challenges, how providers have pivoted in response to COVID, and what kinds of resources NAMI offers.

In our second interview, I'll also chat with Melanie Carr, a Davis resident who's been offering a "Tuesday Table" through the pandemic, a "take what you need" offering in one Davis neighborhood. We'll hear about why she started it, and what it offers.

Show airs live today, Sept. 1, at noon, and repeats and is archived at kdrt.org.

Bike City Theatre Logo

Since March, we’ve recorded 30 episodes of this show, and today marks interviews 49 & 50, respectively. Thank you to all who have participated, listened, and provided feedback! It’s been my goal to help provide a narrative for how individuals, organizations, communities, and cultural groups are weathering the pandemic.

We’re doing a deep dive into local theatre arts today, and we’ll hear how one venue and one theater company are working to survive and remain vital during the pandemic, and preparing for whatever comes next. How have they pivoted now? What will theatre shows and concerts look like in the future?

My guests are Joseph Fletcher, who is nearing his one year anniversary as the Theatre Manager for the City of Davis at the Veterans Memorial Theatre, and Sarah Marsh Krauter, who is the literary manager & company dramaturg for Bike City Theatre Company.

Tune in live at noon, or listen anytime at kdrt.org.
