Mindbloom’s Post

PoolePRoof Wisdom We're back and talking about the importance of protecting our mental health as May arrives next week. If you don't know, May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and provides a formal way for everyone to consider, think about, and address issues around mental health, especially prioritizing the well-being of individuals and families affected by mental illness. A new podcast episode arrives on May 1, therefore, and my guest, Saroni Kundu, is a mental health advocate who has literally invested in providing important access to mental health services, and whose experience with facing mental health challenges in her own family is one that she's learned from and is sharing in hopes they can learn, too. Today and leading up to May 1, we'll provide a few segments from the full episode, highlighting the personal nature of the discussion and facts about mental health everyone should know. Today is a big topic: stigma.

Navigating the intersection of mental health and spirituality can be as complex as it is vital. Here’s a glimpse into my recent conversation on the Unrefined Podcast with Brandon Spain: 🤗 Open Dialogue: We tackled the often-overlooked signs of mental health struggles and discussed how mental health practices can align with biblical principles. 💡 Authentic Sharing: Brandon’s vulnerability about his own experiences fostered an authentic conversation about the hurdles faith communities face in addressing these issues. 🌍 Generational Perspectives: We explored the concept of ‘spiritual warfare’ and how different generations perceive mental health, bringing a fresh perspective to an important topic. This conversation is packed with insights and practical wisdom, and I invite you to join us. 👉 Listen to the episode here: https://spoti.fi/3TyhwwZ For more resources and access to our mental health courses, visit my website: https://lnkd.in/dfd6mauC.

March is Mental Health Awareness Month. On a personal and professional level, this topic is important! Yesterday I shared where my mental health journey began, with the death of a friend. So grateful to people who reached out to check on me. I wanted to clarify my intentions in sharing: create dialogue, awareness, community, and safety. (Inspired by Amelia and her work at Nivati). Throughout May expect more from me. More quotes, studies, stories, and topics around mental health. Feel free to share in the comments some of your favorite books, podcasts, or tools you have utilized in your journies. #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
