Tamar Blue joins Something For Everybody this week. Tamar is the Founder and CEO of MentalHappy, a HIPAA-compliant platform helping healthcare professionals, survivors, and advocates lead expert-led support groups—making emotional support an essential part of every healthcare journey. In this conversation, Tamar and I discuss various aspects of mental health, including the impact of seasonal affective disorder, the evolution of bullying, and the importance of support groups. Tamar shares her journey in founding Mental Happy, a platform for mental health support, and emphasizes the need for emotional intelligence in children.
