In this thought-provoking series of episodes, we've really explored mental health, shedding light on its prevalence and the profound impact it has on our day to day lives.
As we wrap up the month of May, it's time to dive into the big question that lingers in our minds: Now what? What do we actually do next?
Today we join in a conversation with our returning guest, Ashton Holbrook. We dive into the practical steps we can take moving forward to support those around us on their mental health journeys. We highlight things like the power of empathy and its ability to foster understanding, different coping strategies and their application in managing mental health, building strong support systems, and emphasize the art of how active listening is a catalyst for healing or growth.
We also talk about the importance of mindfulness and invite our listeners to embrace the present moment and develop self-awareness as a means of cultivating resilience and promoting mental well-being among friends, family, employees, and employers.
It is important that we do our part in engaging in mature conversations surrounding mental health. We hope to continue to explore strategies to break down the barriers of stigma and fear, fostering environments where open dialogue thrives and mental health is a topic of understanding and support even in the workplace.
