Dr. Morgan Francis on 12NEWS, Mental Health Expert 



I’m incredibly honored and excited to announce that I will be serving as the Arizona 12News Mental Health Expert. I’ll be discussing topics related to mental health and wellness.


As the mental health expert, I will be:

➡️ Educating the public on common concerns

➡️ Offering psychological perspectives on news stories.

➡️ Helping viewers, understand the emotional and mental health impact of societal crises, natural disasters, or traumatic events.

➡️ Promoting awareness and destigmatizing mental health issues.

➡️ Offering practical tips for managing stress, improving relationships, or enhancing resilience.

➡️ Bridging the gap to professional help and support.


In essence, I will act as both an educator and an advocate, empowering you, the viewers, with tools and understanding to prioritize your mental well-being.
