When the System Isn’t Enough: Mental Health, Advocacy, and the Fight for Change In this episode of In My Feels, But I’ll Heal, Mental Health Provider Denise Morales sits down with Jarvis Johnson for an honest and powerful conversation about mental health advocacy and what happens when our systems are not equipped to respond to people in crisis. From witnessing mental health emergencies in the community to navigating the gaps in care, this conversation sheds light on the emotional, political, and human realities behind mental health reform. This episode is dedicated in loving memory of Alvin Byrd — a beloved friend, advocate, supporter, and lifelong Price Square resident. His legacy continues to inspire advocacy, awareness, and the fight for change. This conversation is for anyone who has: • Experienced mental health challenges • Supported someone in crisis • Felt failed by the system • Or believes we must do better as a community Healing is personal. Advocacy is collective. Change is necessary. Follow the podcast: @InMyFeelsButIllHeal Follow Denise: @Be.Nurtured
