Episode 7 Mental Health Awareness
Welcome back ya'll! Thanks for tuning in to listen to another episode. May is Mental Health Awareness month, so in a genuine attempt to raise awareness, we thought it would be the perfect time to talk about it (though, we believe any time is the perfect time!). While we know this topic can be discussed in many layers and in many episodes, this one is pretty special as we have one of our really good friends, Gilbert, joining in on the conversation! Gilbert will be sharing some insight on his experience working as a mental health professional in the community. Our mission is to help others find courage, validation, and a voice through their individual experiences. We sincerely hope you enjoy this episode and that it impacts you in the most positive way! "An estimated 26% of Americans ages 18 and older -- about 1 in 4 adults -- suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year." (Mental health disorder statistics. Johns Hopkins Medicine.
