About this podcast
AppCoLab is a show about emerging mental health treatments and the people working to bring them home to Appalachia. Every episode sits down with clinicians, researchers, policymakers, and people with lived experience to talk through what's changing and why it matters here first.
Addiction. Recovery. The cutting-edge modalities most Appalachian communities never hear about until they're already available somewhere else. This show covers the research and the on-the-ground work happening across all thirteen Appalachian states.
AppCoLab exists to make emerging healing practices understood, integrated, and accessible in this region.
