From Paralympian to Mental Health Advocate: Dr. René Keres' Inspiring Path

I think if some people knew how much it hurt, they wouldn't necessarily say things or do things.
Imagine competing in the Paralympics and then transitioning to a career in behavioral health. That's exactly what Dr. René Keres, Program Manager II for the Homeless and Supportive Services at the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health, has done. In this episode of 'Resilient and Real', guest host Ashley Dinkle sits down with Dr. Keres to explore her unique journey. Dr. Keres opens up about overcoming the stigma associated with her physical disabilities and how she manages chronic pain.
She emphasizes the importance of therapy and self-care, offering a heartfelt look into her personal resilience. This episode is packed with valuable insights into mental health and substance use disorder resources, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in these critical topics. Whether you're navigating your own challenges or supporting a loved one, Dr. Keres' story will inspire and inform.
