NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk Public Library is launching a new mental health podcast show.
The new podcast, “Living Freely: Mental Health Podcast,”will be hosted by licensed professional counselor Rachel Ann Dine.
Dine has been in the mental health field for 15 years and worked in a variety of settings: Crisis hot-line, inpatient long-term residential and acute short-term psychiatric hospitals, military and family life counseling, and emergency departments providing mental health assessments. She has also written educational courses on psychiatric disorders for hospital employees.
The library says all aspects of mental health and wellness will be discussed on the show with a focus on popular topics.
The first three episodes will air on Wednesday, at 6 a.m.:
- Episode 1 – Dealing with Grief

Episodes will be released weekly on Wednesday mornings.
