Joseph Reid on feeling broken & the benefits of music for mental health
from Living on the B Side · host Birgit Livesey
Do believe that one song can truly support you on your mental health journey? This episode will show you that it is possible and true. I invited Joseph to share his story on today’s episode, which dives straight into his mental health journey. He talks about his personal experiences through which he put together his own toolkit and how music plays its part in all of it. How one tragic moment sent him a clear message on what he needed to do next and how that in itself propelled him onto a journey of connecting and supporting others who struggle with their mental health. And of course, I asked how music played a part on his own health journey, how he uses it and why, plus what band had a massive impact on him…and he might have thrown a little challenge in there for me! Come and join us on this inspiring episode around mental health, music and some fun bits, too! More about Joseph: Joseph Reid has had a passion for loving and helping people from a very early age. He is the founder and Executive Director of Broken People, an international mental health peer support group. He is also very active as a peer support specialist and family advocate with NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), the nation’s largest grass roots mental health non-profit organization. He is extremely passionate about following God’s direction, loving and serving his wife Melissa of 24 years, and trying to keep up with his four awesome grown kids. He is the author of Broken Like Me and oversees several other brilliant writers on his website’s blog that can be found at: www.broken-people.org During this episode we chat about: · His own mental health journey · How his book came to life · What music means to him and his mental health · One song that describes his business and or life right now · Fun challenge he issued to me Connect with Joseph Reid Website: www.broken-people.org Online Support Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/287522532033608 LIKED THE EPISODE?
