Mental Health Awareness Month - Episode 1

Desiree recaps the week with the Machuca family as they reflect on how beginning to heal feels refreshing and learned a new way to communicate openly. Their father Francisco also learned to be a better listener and encourage the family to speak openly. We hope these family interventions has helped someone out there or share with someone you think can benefit from learning to heal mental health issues, which effects not only the mind but the body, as well. We want to see all forms of stress relieved and family thrive in better health through communication and break down old barricades from years past. The cycle of mental and physical stress can be healed. Thank you for listening to our Podcast. [email protected]

Day 3 - Desiree continues her discussion with the Machuca family. In today's episode, the family dives deep into the past where the girls share with their dad how it felt growing up in the home when they were younger. Francisco has promised to allow the girls to express themselves freely without fear and without him losing his temper or showing anger, as they mentioned happened when they were younger. This fear shut them down and made them fearful to speak out. Well, today, Desiree has agreed with the family to take this one step at a time. Let's listen in as they begin this difficult journey into mental health wellness and healing. [email protected]. Thanks for listening and for your support. 

On Day 2 the Machucha sisters talk about balancing school, home life and social settings. Maria, specifically, talks about one of your friends and how their personal life effects their relationship. Desiree tries to navagate via available resources to help overcome the challenges many young people have related to social activities, family interventions and how all this can effect one's mental health in general. It can be overwhelming at times, but that's why this Podcast is here. To serve and open up dialogue to an otherwise isolated and closed individual. Being able to speak to someone or speak your mind and express your feelings is the beginning of healing and mental health improvement. Thank you for listening and your support of this podcast.

For the month of May, Mental Health Awareness Month, our host, Desiree Duar invites four families from various cultural backgrounds, one each week, as she discusses their struggles and triumphs with mental health issues in the family and in their communities. The program is light-hearted to allow their children to appear as guests, as well. Their input is just as important as the adult prospective. Children's point of view is at the heart of the family unit and many times the difficulties effect them ever more than the adults. So, Desiree wanted to hear from each member of the families on her show. It's un-formal, open and free expressions to allow our guests to feel comfortable. Plus, Desiree, herself can relate to many of the discussed topics during this month. This podcast is here to serve. Please feel free to leave your comments, suggestions and questions. All emails will be read. We will do our best to reply by the end of the month, if not sooner. Your responses send back via email, are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to support our channel and thank you for listening. God bless you and God Bless AMERICA. Thank you.

On this episode of Journey Into Mental Health, we want to highlight awareness for Mental Health, especially now in the month of May, which is slated for Mental Health Awareness. Listening audience, it's important to note that when leaving an abusive situation, it is one of the bravest things a person can do, but you don't have to navigate it alone. This episode is dedicated to the lifeline services that exist to support survivors. We break down how to find local advocates, what to expect when calling a hotline, and how to  utilize community resources that offer everything from emergency shelter to long term healing. It's not just about surviving, it's about finding the support system that helps you thrive in your new chapter.
