About this episode

The episode reflects on childhood memories and the messages we would convey to our younger selves regarding mental health.

In this episode I reflect on a phrase that regularly marked my childhood. "Hey, kid." The familiar greeting my grandfather used whenever he visited. What would we say if we could talk to ourselves growing up? What, as people experiencing mental health challenges, would we convey to ourselves in our youth? Let's explore some "Hey, kids" that we can convey to the youth in our lives. Bless This Brain is an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between churches and mental health help. We tear down stigma through creative storytelling, mental health first aid training, and innovative workshops. We come alongside people as they navigate their recovery journey, ensuring no one who comes to a church seeking mental health help, faces that challenge alone BlessThisBrain.com
