Conversations Across Generations

In this special Mental Health Awareness Month episode, we explore the theme “Conversations Across Generations” through an honest discussion about mental health, communication, and connection within families and communities.Featuring Jordan Brooks, Lock and Talk Virginia Coordinator, Debra Jefferson (“GiGi”) and CIT Coordinator at Horizon, along with DJ Best, Desha Best, and Desir Best, this episode is especially unique as it marks the first time we’ve brought together an entire three-generation family to share their perspectives in one conversation.Together, they discuss how different generations approach mental health, how stigma and understanding have evolved over time, how they practice mental health awareness within their family dialogue and why open conversations across age gaps matter now more than ever.
