(Giving Voice to Depression) So... you agree the #stigma of #mentalillness is harmful and needs to change. What can you do? 
In this new 25-minute podcast, "Who You Callin' Crazy," a licensed therapist shares how everything from the words we choose to discuss #mentalhealth (i.e., diagnoses are not adjectives "Don't be so OCD about it," "They're so bipolar," etc.) to practicing vulnerability and authenticity, help people feel more safe/comfortable addressing the critical topic. https://bit.ly/43WLjlf

(Giving Voice to Depression) Celebrity suicides get a lot of attention.
But without a commitment to fight the misconceptions, fear and judgement around #mentalillness and #mentalhealth, the environment in which they happen won't change. 
The safer we can all feel sharing what's going on in our minds and bodies, the more likely we are to get the support and treatment we need to live healthier lives. #stigma #podcast #noshame

(Giving Voice to Depression) We buy all kinds of insurance to protect ourselves. A Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP) is "emotional insurance." It can help us recognize when/why we are in a Good Place, and warn us if/when we (or our minds) start to wander into Less-Good Places. A WRAP can also protect us and give us some control in a #mentalhealth #crisis. In this episode our cohosts, a licensed psychologist and certified peer specialist continue a step-by-step guide for making a personalized WRAP plan-- something we create when we're well, to speak to and for us when we are not. https://stories.givingvoicetodepression.com/?p=3873
