I’ve talked about public speaking before on this show, but never really went into great detail about what that entails. While I do talks related more to the functional health side of things mostly independently, there is also a mental health organization that I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of and speak with for a little over 2 ½ years now.
That organization is called Minding Your Mind.
Minding Your Mind (MYM) is a non-profit organization that provides mental health education and suicide prevention training programs for students and the adults in their lives. Our goals are: to end the stigma and destructive behaviors associated with mental health challenges; inform individuals that help is available and encourage them to seek it; and ensure that people are equipped to provide support for their peers, family members, and colleagues. MYM works to increase help-seeking behavior, adaptive coping skills, and resiliency by cultivating a culture of compassion, openness, and advocacy. To date, MYM has completed over 5,500 presentations, and reached more than 715,000 individuals. MYM offers a continuum of school and community-based programming for youth and young adults, parents and caregivers, professional development for school personnel, and workplace education and wellness in a business environment.
Today, we are talking to just two of the many incredible people that work with or for this organization, Jordan Burnham and Catelin McCarriston. Topics include depression, suicidal ideation, as well the Minding Your Mind Foundation and its work.
