A Chat on Mental Health: Driving Conversations Around Not Being Okay | Unearthing Mental Health Bias

#MentalHealth #NotOkay #Bias  Hello Everyone, Welcome to our second segment on Mental Health, this week 😊 In today's discussion, we're going to be outlining how we encourage others to be open and honest when they aren't okay, and the subsequent extremity of the interventions and responses, that suggest otherwise. Periods of difficulty are part of  life. Much of the time, the situations and circumstances we go through correlates with how we are feeling, and why we are not feeling our best. It's important that we recognize that life's challenges vary, and the best response rarely involves mental health labels and offering prescriptions to "mask" the symptoms these difficulties create. We can grow through what we go through with the support and care of our family, friends and community, let's trust the process and our capacity to push through challenges. #MentalHealth #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #SocietalNorms #RethinkBias #NewNormal #DriveTheConversation #KnowWhatYouNeed #KnowThyself *RESOURCES*   - The Struggle is Real: Normalizing Not Being Okay: https://venacbd.com/blogs/news/the-struggle-is-real-normalizing-not-being-okay  - 4 Ways to Boost Your Resilience for Tough Times: https://www.verywellmind.com/how-to-build-resilience-for-tough-times-1717568  - 7 Things to Remember When Going Through Tough Times in Life: https://www.lifehack.org/articles/productivity/7-things-people-forget-when-they-are-down-and-going-through-the-tough-times-life.html  For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!  We post bi-weekly:  https://www.spe-projectpurpose.com/blogs Make sure to come visit us, subscribe to the website, and join our Member's Area for more valuable content:   *SOCIALS* Website: www.spe-projectpurpose.com   Facebook Page: @ProjectPurposeSPE  Instagram: @ProjectPurposeSPE or my personal account @realistrae  Twitter: @Purpose_SPE  Pinterest: @ProjectPurposeSPE    Podcast: "Support, Protect, Empower - The Project Purpose Podcast"   Now available on the following platforms:    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7k0gdzY6ID8YHD7yxKiuE8?si=WgsMrqSaSfCCEppQOwXOgg  Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/support-protect-empower-project-purpose-podcast  Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81YWMxNDNhMC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw==  RadioPublic: https://radiopublic.com/support-protect-empower-project-WDgk4l  PocketCasts: https://pca.st/a2hgm7lh  Anchor.fm: https://anchor.fm/projectpurposespe  If you'd like to read my research thesis, "ADHD: Is it a Social Construct or does it have a Neurophysiological Basis?" you can find it at the following address:  https://rachellerealist.wordpress.com .   I'm more than happy to answer your questions, feel free to send an email to: [email protected]   OUR AUTONOMY, SELF-EFFICACY, COMPASSION & SELF-CONCEPT WORKSHOPS ARE AVAILABLE (AGES 4-8, 9-13 & 14-17) BE SURE TO GO TO THE WEBSITE AND MAKE YOUR PURCHASE!    Do you like the intro/outro music?   Check out the artist on Spotify:   Artist Name: Valdii  Song Name: I Learn
