Today we’re talking about how societal consciousness impacts mental health in the black community.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to show you how this has impacted my own life as a black man with mental health challenges.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Vikie Shanks, a white woman, and I, a black man, sit down to discuss a topic that often gets swept under the rug—the role societal consciousness plays in mental health within the black community. It’s an “uncomfortable” conversation that we were both very comfortable discussing.
As a black man who lives with mental health challenges, it’s been difficult. There is a stigma in society about the “strong black man”, yet there is no real definition of what that means. Can I be a strong black man if I have mental health challenges? Absolutely!
I’ve been working to redefine what this definition looks like. In order to do this, I’ve identified a few things that we need to work on changing in the black culture such as using the common mental health terminology and improving access to healthcare. To improve black mental health, these areas need to be addressed along with others.
To improve black mental illness we need to be willing to have these types of uncomfortable conversations. In this video, Vikie and I share some ways to make this possible. If we want to break down the barriers between races we need to stop walking on eggshells and starting talking to each other.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways that we can improve mental health in the black community in 2019.

Health Coach Benefits and Disadvantages (SHOCKING)
Health Coach Benefits and Disadvantages [SHOCKING]
The Health Coach Benefits and Disadvantages are important to understand as we move into a new year of focusing on getting healthy and being the best version of ourselves. I recently sat down with health coach, Jane Dye, to learn more about what a health coach does, what benefits they offer, and what the potential disadvantages are to working with a health coach.
Mental health is just one part of your overall health and wellness along with things like nutrition and exercise.
In this video, holistic health coach Jane Dye shares:
• How a health coach helps guide and support people as they make overall lifestyle changes
• That little changes take care of big issues
• How a health coach works with you as an individual to make the right choices for your unique situation
• Why 92% of people fail at making habit changes
• Where health coaches fall in line with self-care and the medical field
• The importance of investing in coaching and taking personal responsibility for your behaviors in order to improve your health and wellness (including to reach goals like weight loss)
• The disadvantages to being aware of when deciding to work with a health coach or nutrition coach

Mental Health Conversation Starters & Questions

http://www.TransformingStigma.Com In this video, Mike Veny talks about the importance of keeping the subject of mental health in everyday conversation and your community. This is the key to transforming the silence that accompanies mental health stigma.
There’s no right or wrong way to have conversations about mental health. Mike Veny tried an experiment for an entire year. He decided to go around and introduce himself to every single person he met and let them know that he was mentally ill. To his surprise, no one got scared and ran away from him. He actually developed deeper relationships, got hired for more work, and more women showed interest in him than ever before.
Here are some tips for developing your own conversation starters and questions.
1. Recognize that this is an uncomfortable conversation and you don’t have to be an expert to talk about it. If it were an easy conversation, you wouldn’t be watching this video or reading these words. The only way that we, as a society, will develop this into an easy conversation, is to simply have it.
2. Learn healthy, appropriate, respectful, and “people first” vocabulary. This simply means that when you talk about it, put the person before the mental health challenge in your language. For example, avoid saying “the mentally ill”. Instead say, “people who live with a mental illness.”
3. Take the lead by asking others how you can support them and LISTEN! When someone you know is struggling with a mental health challenge, it’s CONFUSING! People who struggle aren’t always looking for answers or to vent. Most of the time they are looking for empathy. Even if you can’t comprehend what someone is struggling with, do your absolute best to see it from their perspective and validate that.
