Caring for Mental Health through Friendship & Creativity

U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, Sara Bareilles, and Celia Keenan-Bolger in Conversation

May 20, 2024


Join U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy — along with Grammy Award-winning singer and actress Sara Bareilles and Celia Keenan-Bolger — for a conversation on caring for our mental health in a special live recording of Dr. Murthy’s podcast, House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy. Sara Bareilles has deliberately spotlighted her struggles with anxiety and depression — working to dismantle the stigma associated with the mental health struggles shared by millions of Americans. How can meditation help us cope with anxiety? Can a creative practice like songwriting help alleviate sadness? At a time when the nation is facing urgent needs around mental health, this gathering is a powerful reminder of how vulnerable and honest conversations can help us heal. Dr. Murthy, Bareilles and Keenan-Bolger discuss mental health stigma in America and share personal stories that help us remember that we are not alone.

House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy is a podcast hosted by the 21st U.S. Surgeon General. In each episode, Dr. Murthy and his guests explore how they navigate the messiness and uncertainties of life to find meaning and joy. By sharing openly what’s on our minds and in our hearts, we can find strength and healing through connection.
