Jynx shares their continual journey through recovery from substance abuse and eating disorders, as well as how their experience as a transgender youth contributed to their mental health experiences.  Along with sharing their challenges, Jynx shares their perspective on comedy as a tool for recovery, as well as the constant nature of support through rehabilitation.

Mind Out Loud Student Reps are high school students who work towards four pillars of student mental health: personal wellness, suicide prevention, support for marginalized communities, and awareness and advocacy.  Join a group of student reps to hear their open conversations and interviews with experts and advocates.  Their conversations will range from school and stress to advocacy and opportunity, and will include a variety of diverse perspectives and backgrounds.  To learn more about the Mind Out Loud Program, visit mindoutloud.org, reach out to [email protected], or follow @MOLstudents on Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.

Although we hope that this conversation helps to break the stigma around student mental health, it is not intended to be a replacement for professional mental health treatment.  If you or somebody you know is currently experiencing a psychiatric emergency, call 911 or visit your nearest hospital.  National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255.
