Description:
Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how you can show empathy to others.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to introduce you to a friend of mine, Vikie Shanks, who learned how to empathize the hard way—by going through challenging situations. She shares with us how the difficult times she’s been through have helped her to connect with others.
With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Vikie Shanks shares with me some of the personal and difficult experiences that she has been through in life. However, instead of getting stuck in these situations she has used them to help her learn to connect and empathize with others who are going through similar experiences. But it doesn’t stop there. We also discuss how we can show empathy to people even if we haven’t been through the same situation as them.
In this video, Vikie and I talk about the importance of sharing our own personal stories with others and the need for more people to be open and honest. When it comes to transforming the stigma around mental health, part of the problem is that too many people aren’t willing to talk about it. The more we are able to share, the more we are able to help people on both sides of the situation.
We share a few tips that you can use on how to talk to others to help them open up and be honest about their situations.
In short, this video will show you actionable ways to connect with and show empathy for others in 2019.

AND I’M ISSUING YOU A ***CHALLENGE***, FRIEND!
1) Film yourself sharing your own raw, unedited story to help spread the message about the importance of being open and honest (on Instagram Stories or YouTube or any other platform you prefer).

Remember, transforming the stigma around mental health starts with getting it into the conversation. Don’t be afraid to share the unsugar-coated version of your story to help encourage others to do the same. The more people are able to see the reality that no one is living a “picture perfect life,” the more we can learn to empathize with others.

Top Children’s Mental Health and At Risk Youth Speaker

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUxbiqfNu8w

http://www.TransformingStigma.Com Mike Veny is America’s top youth mental health speaker. He is passionately dedicated to children’s mental health and at risk youth.
Here’s why:
Mike truly understands what it’s like to be a child and struggle with mental health and behavioral health issues.
As a child Mike struggled with mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges. He was hospitalized in a psychiatric hospital 3 times, for an extend period of time. When he wasn’t in the hospital, he was a regular patient in his local emergency room to intervene with him acting out violently and having a mental health crisis.
Whether he likes or not, he is the poster child for at risk youth and children’s mental health. In addition to being a speaker, he facilitates interactive workshops workshops and activities, including his Drum Up Your Feelings and Unleash Your Groove drumming program at youth events, schools, and conference. He is inspired by the work of other children’s mental health speakers and at risk youth speakers, like Josh Shipp and Jeff Yalden.
He sees his work as a guest motivational keynote speaker as an opportunity to help children, youth, and their families find healthier ways to live a happy life. “For some people”, he says, “this might seem possible. I’m living proof that it is possible.”
Mike believes that the solution to more success with at risk youth and children who are struggling with mental, emotional, and behavioral challenges is that we need to reexamine how we go about teaching our children. This also involves reexamining how we go about living our lives.
Although he doesn’t celebrate holidays (still a rebel), he makes it a priority to get involved in events celebrating children’s mental awareness day, week, and month. In the future, he hopes to influence policy and legislation, while helping organizations and programs obtain more resources such as funding grants.
The need for better youth services is critical to the future of our society.

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY what my depression sounds like.
In fact, in this video, I’m going to interview my depression.
Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:
Forget everything you’ve heard about depression. In this OC87 Recovery Diaries video, I actually sit down to interview my depression. We don’t get into a list of depression symptoms, depression tests, or get deep into a discussion about mental illness. Instead, my depression shares its raw emotion, thoughts, and feelings.
Have you ever wondered what depression quotes you would get if you heard from your depression? I’ll give you a hint: “I just live in pain,” and “I’m here to protect you.” Have you wondered things like:
What does my depression want?
Is there a purpose to depression?
Is my depression really at war with me?
When will my depression go away?
Mental health is no laughing matter. And while this video is a creative way to bring depression into the conversation, it’s also a very real picture of what my depression is saying to me.
If you struggle with depression, my hope is that this video will make you think about it in a different way. That maybe it will get you thinking about what your depression would say if you interviewed it and how that impacts the way you handle it and think about it.
If you don’t struggle with depression, my hope is that this video will give you a real look into what it’s like living with this mental health challenge.
In short, this video will show you what a struggle with depression looks like on a daily basis.

United Way of York County Launches Aggressive Campaign to End the Stigma of Mental Illness

United Way of York County’s mission is to build a stronger, caring community by cultivating financial generosity, volunteerism and advocacy. They are connecting people in need with programs that help, focusing on education, health and financial stability.
United Way is kicked off York county’s largest annual fundraising campaign on August 30. They welcomed, leading mental health speaker, Mike Veny to share his experiences in addressing and erasing the stigma around mental illness. Guests also heard from a panel of local mental health experts at this free event.
“You look at people all the time and think they have their stuff together, but so many people are struggling. We had, I think, over 70 suicides here in York County in 2017,” Veny said.
That’s why United Way officials felt like it was time to turn the focus on getting York County residents the help they need by raising money for partner agencies that deal with mental health.
“It shouldn’t be a special subject that we talk about. We should talk about it in a normal voice, the same way we do allergies. If you think about it, people talk about mental health in a very low voice. They want to keep it private. We’re the problem at that point,” Veny said.
