Description
For far too long, the United States has put mental healthcare on the back burner. Through enormous advocacy and the initiation and rollout of the 988 hotline, a theoretical lifeline is now at the fingertips of every American. But in a country with a deep history of criminalizing mental health, will 988 live up to its potential? Today, Stephanie explores how 988 came to be, along with all the promise and peril it carries. Weekly special correspondent Zak Williams shares his personal mental health journey, how stigma impacted his father, Robin Williams, and how the actor's death inspired him to become a mental health advocate. We also meet Congressman Seth Moulton, mental health advocate Keris Myrick, Executive Director of the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline John Draper, and Director of the Sozosei Foundation Melissa Beck. SHOW NOTESGet to Know 988Learn about your state's plan for funding 988.https://reimaginecrisis.org/map/AdvocateEmail your representatives and sign a petition to request crisis services that are unique to your state and your community. https://nami.quorum.us/crisisadvocacy/988 PolicyDig into policy documents, resources and much more information.https://www.sozoseifoundation.org/sozosei-foundation-updatesListen to UBUKeris Myrick's podcast Unapologetically Black Unicorns.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unapologetically-black-unicorns/id1568804071Watch Zak's DocumentaryTo learn more about Zak's mental health journey and advocacy, you can watch the Oprah and Prince Harry's documentary series “The Me You Can't See”.https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-me-you-cant-see/umc.cmc.4amwght1qtt8ioilwr0mgnf6d Call for Help is presented by Sozosei Foundation: A catalyst for ideas that nurture creative solutions for healthier communities.
