Michelle Dickinson: Bridging the Gap in Mental Health Awareness

I want to give people permission to just be human beings, having this pandemic experience, and to give themselves the grace that they deserve and be okay. Not being okay, because if you look at the statistics, the Cdc says that one in three of us are dealing with depression or anxiety during this pandemic.
Ever felt like talking about mental health is like walking on eggshells? Michelle Dickinson knows that feeling all too well and has made it her mission to change it. As a passionate mental health advocate, author, and TED Talk speaker, Michelle shares her personal journey with mental illness in this episode of 'Time Out for Mental Health'. Her memoir, 'Breaking Into My Life', serves as a testament to her commitment to making these conversations easier for everyone.
Michelle dives into the often-overlooked intersection of masculinity and mental health, highlighting how societal norms can prevent men from seeking the help they need. She stresses the importance of creating compassionate environments where individuals feel safe to open up about their struggles. The pandemic has only intensified these issues, making her message even more relevant today. Throughout the episode, Michelle emphasizes the value of seeking help before reaching a crisis point.
Her approach is both empathetic and practical, offering listeners actionable advice on how to navigate their mental health journeys. She encourages embracing vulnerability as a strength rather than a weakness. Whether you're struggling yourself or supporting someone who is, Michelle's insights provide a beacon of hope. Tune in to hear her candid discussion and find out how you can contribute to breaking the stigma around mental health.
