What’s On Your Mind?

It's me! Just here saying hi, and that I needed my OWN mental health break over the past few weeks. Phew. Thanks for all of the support to everyone's who has been listening to the show. I'm excited to bring you #STFS back again next Monday AND the new series M2M (Method to the Madness) - which honestly, 5 years ago...I would have never done. And I'm very glad I'm challenging myself to do a show like this (listen to this for more on that!).

Continue sharing the show with your friends! Subscribe, subscribe, subscribe! Thanks everyone. Happy mental health Monday. Hope everyone is doing okay out there.

In Episode 1 of the second Mental Health Monday edition, we kick off the series. We share each share of our 'why's around mental health advocacy and eliminating the stigma around mental health, mental illness, and suicide prevention.

The new mental health series called Method to the Madness where we discuss issues that impact our mental health as they relate to our very unique and different backgrounds, perspectives, and ideologies. We hope to create a space where we can engage in critical dialogue, listen to, challenge, and learn from each other. We hope to model how different people can come together and find our comment interest. We might get a little mad at each other, but at the end of the day we are mad at how mental health is dealt with and talked about. Together, we will end the stigma!

New episodes on IGTV and YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK every Sunday. Audio will be available every other Monday on the WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND? by Jani Rad podcast - available on all podcast platforms. https://www.janirad.com/​
