Today's episode discusses topics of mental health that may be triggering for some people. As a mental health advocate, and someone who experiences anxiety and depressed mood, I wanted to have this important discussion with someone equally as versed and dedicated to ending the stigma as I am. I want you to know that you're not alone; there is always someone willing to help. A peer, a family member, a trusted educator, a coworker- hell, even the host of a podcast who just wants you to exist joyfully. You're not alone. I love you. <3 Nicole Resources:(not sponsored, just some sites I believe in and think could helphttps://nami.org/Homehttps://www.nami.org/Support-Education/Support-Groupshttps://www.nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Warning-Signs-and-Symptomshttps://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/national-helplinehttps://www.thementalhealthcoalition.org/resources/https://www.thementalhealthcoalition.org/selfcareroadmap/https://www.thementalhealthcoalition.org/lgbtqroadmap/---------------------------------------------------------------Hosted by Nicole Kochhttps://www.instagram.com/niicole.kochSpecial Guest: Katie Franqueirahttps://www.instagram.com/ktfranqueiraResearch & Fact Checking provided by Trystyn Robertshttps://www.instagram.com/trystynroberts/Edited by Nicole KochPromotional Marketing created by Nicole Koch--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tastefullymediocre/support
