This week we are talking about how Star Trek has addressed mental health issues over the years. How will neurodiversity — and society’s understanding and acceptance of it — change in the future? Is there a place for everyone, no matter their situation? How does Starfleet address these issues and incorporate persons in these circumstances into its ranks? What roles do Counselors play on a Starship?
But first, we’ll get a “This Week in Trek” report from Keith, and then we’ll talk briefly about what we learned from the Strange New Worlds screening at Tribeca.
Earth Station Trek is a part of the ESO Podcast Network, Executive Producer Mike Faber.
