Thanks to our friends at the Coping 101 podcast, sponsored by Seattle Children’s, Forefront Suicide Prevention, and Nathan Hale High School for featuring our program! Sandra, our co-director, and Calvin, a grad of our Peer Mental Health Navigator Training (and now licensed clinical social worker!), offered valuable insights on our community-engaged program model and why solutions start at the grassroots! You can listen to the entire podcast by going HERE.
“We knew in our bones that mental health had to be woven into what was being offered in community life, just as we had done with cancer screenings or diabetes education. We strive to create safe spaces to talk and to break down stigma. When community takes care of each other, that’s when you see changes. Building trust and care with individuals is the first step to supporting healthy communities.” – Sandra Huber, co-director, MHMWA
