Breaking the Chains: A Father and Son Tackle Mental Illness Stigma
So you know what we know about salt is it changes the atmosphere. We know that a little pinch of salt can just add that flavor and that season to a recipe.
What happens when a father and son sit down to discuss mental illness? In this debut episode of 'The SALT TALK', Jermine Alberty and his son Jerimiah take on the often-ignored topic of mental illness stigma. They bust the myth that mental illness equates to weakness, celebrating those who live with these challenges as true survivors and thrivers.
Jermine, who runs 'A Little Piece of Peace', shares his personal journey of healing and the profound impact mental illness has had on his life. He speaks candidly about his moments of vulnerability and the times he just needs solitude. Jerimiah brings his own experiences to the table, discussing how he was groomed to mentor and teach others. Together, they delve into the essence of SALT—Serve, Affirm, Love, and Transform—and how these principles can change lives.
The conversation is both blunt and light-hearted, making it accessible yet deeply meaningful. It encourages listeners to offer compassion and kindness, creating a community where everyone can thrive. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that challenges perceptions and fosters understanding.
