It's not about the skill, it's not about what you're innately born with, it's what you do with it. It's okay to fail, it's okay to take those knocks, it's okay to have the ups and downs in life...
What if the stories we tell could help kids understand mental health better? In this engaging episode of 'Steps to Sobriety', host Stephan Neff sits down with Nghi Dang, a dedicated family physician and author, to discuss her mission of educating children about mental health through storytelling. Nghi shares her personal journey from Vietnam to Southern California, highlighting the struggles she faced as an immigrant dealing with bullying, discrimination, and depression.
Her experiences are not unique; they mirror those of many children today who turn to social media for guidance in a confusing world. Nghi’s book series aims to clear up misconceptions about mental health, providing kids with the tools they need to embrace their imperfections and build resilience. Through her stories, she tackles tough topics like bullying, learning disabilities, and the importance of self-acceptance.
The conversation also touches on the need for mental health education reform in schools, underscoring the vital connection between mental and physical health. If you're looking for an episode that combines heartfelt personal stories with practical advice on mental health, this one is for you. Nghi’s work is a beacon of hope for young people and their families, offering a fresh perspective on how storytelling can transform lives.
