STAMFORD, Conn., Sept. 25, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Second Lady Karen Pence, wife of Vice President Mike Pence, will appear on the VoiceAmerica Talk Radio Network national podcast Next Steps Forward with Chris Meek on Tuesday.
Mrs. Pence received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in elementary education from Butler University and went on to teach art to elementary students for 25 years in her home state of Indiana and Virginia. Mrs. Pence is an award-winning watercolor artist. In her role as Second Lady, she has elevated the mental health profession, art therapy and raises awareness about the role it can play to treat military service members and veterans who suffer from PTSD and TBI. Mrs. Pence serves as the lead ambassador for the President’s Roadmap to Empower Veterans and End a National Tragedy of Suicide (PREVENTS) task force, which aims to prevent veteran suicide and promote overall wellness on the national level.

“Karen Pence is a champion for the American people and has dedicated her role as Second Lady to causes that are rooted in personal passion and that have profoundly positive impacts on the lives they touch,” Meek said. “It is an honor to have Mrs. Pence as a guest on Next Steps Forward to discuss in-depth her passion for art and advocacy for art therapy, as well as her commitment to our military members through her work with PREVENTS and her continued support of military spouses and families. Mrs. Pence’s enthusiasm for those things she is passionate about and her willingness to share her passions with others to better their lives is inspiring. I know my listeners will be touched by her belief in the power of healing – whether that’s through art therapy, focusing on bettering our overall mental health or finding refuge in our faith.”
