Mutual MENtal

In this episode, we do a quick check in - discussing Covid, managing employees, and how it feels to "perform" all the time. Then we continue the conversation we started in Episode 4. We talk about the people's reactions in our lives surrounding the death of Stephen "Twitch" Boss. Suicide takes on many different forms, there's not one look to it.  We dive into different reactions, understanding, misconceptions. We also mention some resources for people who may be struggling with thoughts of suicide, such as NAMI or 988. 

Hello! Despite some mic issues, this episode really has a lot of good stuff in it! We talk about suicide, suicidal thoughts, and how to manage them...how we managed them. We touch on the loneliness, the pain, and also having empathy and compassion for someone going through a time like this.  Some fun stuff as well, such as an idea for a kid's book and picking up the old six string again. 

Folks, this is our first episode with a guest on with us! Join the conversation as we sit down with Steve, Certified Peer Specialist and Author, Advocate, and Ally.  We discuss being the underdogs as peer specialists, changing the system, looking beyond diagnoses, and we learn about programs at McLean Hospital.
