In this episode, Kendra, a seasoned social worker, shares insights from her extensive background in mental health. She discusses her journey into social work, emphasizing the importance of creating safe spaces for open conversations.
Kendra highlights the differences in approaches between child and adult mental health, stressing the need for experiential, hands-on methods to build trust and rapport, especially with children.
The conversation shifts to the role of community and connection in supporting mental health. Kendra underscores the necessity of being "reachable" and available for others, rather than expecting people to always reach out. She highlights the value of supportive networks and genuine connections in reducing feelings of isolation.
Kendra also provides an overview of common risk factors for suicide, such as loss, trauma, and mental health conditions. She advises on approaching someone who may be suicidal, emphasizing the importance of being direct, showing care, and connecting them to resources like the 988 crisis line.
Additionally, Kendra shares her involvement in the Highland Games, using these events to raise funds for "Continuing the Mission," a non-profit providing service dogs to veterans with PTSD and other mental health needs.
