"We knew in our bones that mental health had to be woven into what was being offered in community life, just as we had done with cancer screenings or diabetes education ... we built on the same everyday tools we had used before: creating safe spaces to talk and breaking down stigma.  When community takes care of each other that's when you can see changes." Building trusted individual-centric care is the first step to supporting mentally healthy communities. Mental Health Matters Washington believes that mental health is the foundation for well-being and overall health.  This community-centric program uses evidence-backed, culturally informed strategies to educate and train Peer Mental Health Navigators that provide mental health support in their own communities.  Co-Founder, Sandra Huber, and Peer Navigator, Calvin Trinh, join us to discuss how they prioritize groups and communities most impacted by behavioral health disparities, to change the stigma about mental health. Coping 101 is an award-winning student-led podcast from c89.5, presented in partnership with Seattle Children's, Forefront Suicide Prevention, 4Culture and other community-minded partners, where Seattle area high school students get real about mental health. Through honest conversations with peers, Artists and behavioral health professionals, they break down stigma and share tools for coping with life's challenges — because no matter your age or background, we all struggle sometimes, and there are healthy ways to cope.  Get started with more episodes, and find community-centric resources online at c895.org/coping101 Forefront Suicide Prevention: https://intheforefront.org/ Forefront in the Schools: https://intheforefront.org/programs/forefront-in-the-schools/ Forefront on social: https://www.instagram.com/intheforefrontwa/ Mental Health Matters Washington: https://mentalhealthmatterswa.com/ MHMW Peer Navigator Training: https://mentalhealthmatterswa.com/train-to-become-a-peer-mental-health-navigator/

The biggest issue facing the cotton industry isn't fast fashion or water consumption. It's that the people growing cotton have been rendered invisible. The industry fixates on fiber quality and commodity pricing while the farmers themselves– and their role in determining sustainability outcomes– get lost.Marzia Lanfranchi, founder of the global community Cotton Diaries, is a strategic consultant working to improve supply chain sustainability in the cotton industry. She argues that cotton is viewed first and foremost as ‘a cheap fiber,' instead of a commodity that is grown in the field. She has seen that when cotton is treated purely as "a cheap fiber" rather than an agricultural product shaped by farming practices, the entire system suffers, including the sustainability frameworks fashion brands are trying to build.In this episode, we discuss why putting farmers at the center changes everything.Sarah and Marzia discuss:What fashion brands miss or overlook about regenerative agricultureWhy cotton is often perceived as a ‘water thirsty crop' (and why that is not always the case)How stories are useful ‘tools' to help people visualize solutions to problemsHow traceability can be built into supply chains to help fashion brands improve sustainabilityUseful Links:Cotton Diaries “Manifesto”VejaLandfill to Farmfill: rethinking cotton waste (podcast)Promises of premiums won't cut it to scale sustainable agrifood supply chainsFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

Dan, Rich, and Nate discuss the question "What is Christian music?" This kicks off the new series Forefront Sounds, a new show on the Forefront Podcast Network, in which music enthusiast Dan Becker talks to people about music that has impacted them—including and especially music outside of the "Christian music" genre. Through examining the work of popular bands and songwriters, he explores the idea from C.S. Lewis that "God gave the pagans good dreams"—that there may be truth (and musical beauty) in places we do not expect. We have the pilot episode of Forefront Sounds in the Forefront 360 feed today.
