A.M. Briefing

Things to know today
  1. Take a one-minute election survey, get entered to win a $50 gift card.
  2. Andover News adjacent: I’m in the process of applying for a mental health journalism fellowship from the Rosalyn Carter Center in the hopes of taking a deep dive into the difficulty accessing mental health care in the U.S. As I prep my application, I’m hoping to interview patients, family members, providers and anyone else who may have insight on the topic. The interviews would be off-the-record/confidential and would only be used to inform how I put together my proposal. Anonymity assured, in other words. If interested in sitting for an interview, shoot me an email at copeland@outlook.com.
