#3- Mental Illness Recognition (with Heather Raymond)

Heather Raymond joins us for today's episode on mental illness recognition. She shares her story about how she was able to distinguish what she was going through from a mental health struggle, and become aware of the severity of her negative thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in her life. Again, I talk about Jack.org's Mental Health Advocacy Training and highlight the signs that we should be looking for that may potentially lead to or be because of a diagnosable mental illness. We talk about some internal dialogue, the stigma around getting help, and the importance of taking care of your mental health. Trigger warning: self-harm and suicide are talked about in this episode.
