Due to the stigma surrounding mental illness we fail to check our mental health not realizing it is not a sign of weakness, and it does not discriminate based on skin color. So on this episode we discuss keeping our mental health in balance during a crisis.

We tackle the topics of:

  • How COVID has impacted our mental health without us knowing
  • Anxiety and Depression, what’s normal and what’s not
  • Helping children and teens cope during COVID
  • Coping with grief, loneliness and isolation
  • Navigating Mental Health Services
  • Psychosis vs substance abuse

Make sure your people are good physically, mentally & financially. It only takes a moment of your time you may just save a life!
