    Ep 15 - Making New Hampshire Family Friendly
    Jun 1 2022

    NH is a state that looks great for families from its averages: income, test scores and health. What averages mask is the great disparity. Dropping income, due to COVID, or increasing inflation sends them over the edge financially. And mental health problems know no income boundaries.
