We've all heard it or saw it 'Check on your 'Strong' Friends' - In this episode, we're getting into it. The accountability to it, pride behind it, where it stems from and the boundaries needed, etc.  If you are the strong friend, check in with yourself and reflect on how you can dismantle this. I promise you are not weak if you open up/let up a bit.  If you have a strong friend, when is the last time you checked in with them? Like, really checked in? If they are stubborn, have the uncomfortable conversation and push a little harder. I'm sure they will appreciate it.  Therapy Resources Loveland Foundation - Therapy Fund  Open Path Collective  | Tuandre'a has used the above, but there are more options below. |  Therapy for Black Men  Mental Health Fund (MHF) for Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous and People of Color Therapy for Black Girls  Music by art_by_bigvee from Pixabay --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-checkin/support
