Smile & Wave is a podcast focusing on the mental health of young adults while navigating the ever-changing world. Each episode has a goal of breaking the stigma to talk about mental well-being and for everyone to realize they are not alone -- the things you are going through are normal.
This podcast uses personal narrative to bring up serious issues young adults face each day and expert interviews to analyze them in hopes of providing resources.
In episode two, Smile & Wave discusses grief as USC graduate student Rebecca Katz shares her experience. This episode features clinical psychologist, Dr. Kelly Greco, to better understand grief and how it can affect us, as well as healthy versus unhealthy coping mechanisms.
The podcast is funded by the Kaleigh Finnie Memorial Endowment, a fund created in honor of Kaleigh Finnie to support student projects focusing on mental health. Please tune in as we begin to truly smile & wave to break the stigma around mental health and wellbeing in young adults.
