Episode 12: Seasons of Life

Tell us your story! We'd love to hear from you!Emma and Anna discuss the seasons of life through the lens of mental health. Just as nature moves through spring, summer, autumn, and winter, our lives are filled with periods of growth, achievement, transition, lost, rest, and renewal. Some seasons bring excitement and possibility, while others challenge us with uncertainty, grief, or change. Each season serves a purpose and offers opportunities for learning about ourselves and strengthening our emotional well-being.If you or someone you know is struggling, please call or text 988 in the U.S. to connect with the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.If you are or if you know someone between 18 and 25 who would like to be on the NAMI Oklahoma NextGen Advisory Council, please use this link: https://namioklahoma.org/get-involved/next-gen/If you are interested in attending the Echoes in the Mind show on June 6th at Northwest Classen High School, you can find information or donate using this link:https://secure.givelively.org/event/mysterious-minds-dance-company/echoes-in-the-mind-mysterious-minds-dance-showFollow us on Instagram and Facebook, and check out the NAMI Oklahoma website for more information on services and upcoming events.The experiences and opinions shared on this podcast are those of the individuals and are not meant to directly reflect the beliefs of NAMI or NAMI Oklahoma.Hosts: Emma Valgora and Anna BennettProducer: Halee HarderQuestions: Kalyn DelaneyResearch: Sydney YaffeEditor: Zack LewisRecorded at the Village LibraryNAMI Oklahoma Staff Mentors: Jason Musgrove and Lorna Palmer
