We all have mental health and it's just a matter of degrees with how we experience it and how we struggle, how we cope.
Imagine a world where mental illness isn't shrouded in stigma. That's the vision Amanda Lipp brings to life in this episode of the Safe Home Podcast. Amanda, a documentary filmmaker and social entrepreneur, has dedicated her career to changing how we view mental health. With over 80 short documentaries under her belt, Amanda's work spans topics from youth psychosis to cyberbullying prevention, all aimed at fostering understanding and compassion.
Beth sits down with Amanda to discuss her journey through the mental health system and how it has shaped her advocacy. Amanda opens up about her teenage years, dealing with rebellion and addiction, and how she found solace in exercise and quality time away from social media. She also touches on the power of storytelling in her films and how it can drive policy changes and mental health research.
This episode isn't just about Amanda's work; it's about the broader mission of destigmatizing mental illness. Amanda's passion for mental health leadership and policy change shines through as she shares her experiences speaking across the U.S. and serving on various advisory panels, including Google's Mental Health Advisory Panel. Whether you're struggling with mental health yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a sense of hope.
Tune in to hear Amanda's inspiring story and learn how you can be part of the movement to break down the barriers around mental health.
