In this episode, Cheddy and Michelle discuss:

• It is necessary to acknowledge your emotions and deal with them as they are experienced.
• It is not okay to discount your emotions or the emotions of others.
• Be sincere and not dismissive when dealing with people's emotions.
• Look at mental health as "Mental Hygiene" in order to treat it the same way you do personal, dental, and environmental hygiene.

Key takeaways:

• As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, we urge you to seek the help you need. Mental Hygiene is an essential part of a healthy self-care routine.
• Emotions are indicators of your physical environment. Acknowledging them increases your self-awareness, and your surroundings.
• Acknowledging someone's emotions does not mean agreeing with an individual, but it creates an environment of mutual respect which improves personal, social, and professional interactions.
• If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or emergency and need to talk to someone, here are some resources:
• www.helpguide.org (International Mental Health Helplines)
• www.suicidepreventionhelpline.org (1-800-273-8255 (TALK) or dial 988 in the U.S.)
• www.veteransCrisisLine.Net (1-800-273-8255 (TALK) Veterans

"I can at least acknowledge you as a human being and the feelings that you have right now. What can then transpire between two individuals when I acknowledge where you are at?" - Michelle Wickman
