In this Episode, we're featuring Hope For the Day's Strategic Partnerships Director Joel Frieders. "Suicide completion" rates have surged to a 30-year high and 1 in 4 people report a mental health crisis in their life. Globally, over 800,000 suicides are reported each year, with many more going unreported. In the US alone, over 121 individuals complete suicide on a daily basis. So, the beer community got on board with the Things We Don't Say IPA with @craftbeerformentalhealth that features multiple phone numbers & resources your loved one may need. We talk about Hope For The Day's education curriculum, mental health & the stigmas. While it's a serious topic, there's plenty of laughter! Through outreach, education, and action, we can equip people with the right tools to be proactive in their communities. Together, we can break the silence around mental health.

Somos aceitos por Deus pela graça e não por algo bom que tenhamos feito. Entregue-se ao SENHOR e aguarde a sua vinda! Mas, quando, da parte de Deus, nosso Salvador, se manifestaram a bondade e o amor pelos homens, não por causa de atos de justiça por nós praticados, mas devido à sua misericórdia, ele nos salvou pelo lavar regenerador e renovador do Espírito Santo, que ele derramou sobre nós generosamente, por meio de Jesus Cristo, nosso Salvador. Ele o fez a fim de que, justificados por sua graça, nos tornemos seus herdeiros, tendo a esperança da vida eterna.

Signs Someone May Need Support Suicide and self-harm are preventable mental health crises. We can be proactive by recognizing expressions of someone in distress. A few types of warning signs are: • Someone expressing feelings of being trapped, like there is no way out. • Someone expressing hopelessness or stating no reason for living. • Someone withdrawing from family, their friends, or usual activities they like. • Someone talking or threatening to hurt or kill themselves. These are only a couple of signatures, and there are different ways people exhibit pain. How To Be Supportive When someone experiences a mental health challenge, here is how you can be supportive: LISTEN:  Let someone really express their experiences. Being someone they can talk to is essential when giving support. BE NON-JUDGMENTAL:  Don’t criticize or minimize the way they feel. You may not be able to understand exactly what they’re going through, and that’s ok. ASK WHAT, NOT WHY:  When you ask questions, avoid asking ‘why’ questions, and instead ask ‘what’ questions. Asking why can have a judgmental tone even if you don’t mean it that way. GIVE INFORMATION - DON’T DIAGNOSE:  Don’t assume they have an illness or condition. Provide direction to resources that can identify and treat mental health issues. ACT AS A BRIDGE:  You can connect someone to mental health resources. Resources include family, school guidance, mental health professionals, and organizations like HFTD. TEAMMATE IN SUPPORT:  Being supportive doesn’t mean your duty is to ‘fix’ someone. Mental health is complicated and solutions aren’t overnight. As a teammate, the best support you can give is by being a trusting ear, helping to navigate resources, and acting as a source of encouragement.   Encouragement to recognize and remember that it’s ok not to be okay. Mental Health starts with a conversation and encouraging friends and yourself to take a screening. Help is closer than you think.

It's a sad statistic, but it's likely that just about all of us have been impacted by suicide. It's an epidemic in this country, but people are still uncomfortable talking about it. Why? That's a good question. Jonny Boucher, founder of Hope For The Day, has been working to break that stigma and educate people about suicide. The mission of HFTD is to get the conversation started and to offer resources about suicide prevention and mental health education. Jonny founded Hope For the Day after losing a close friend and mentor to suicide. The organization has worked to promote proactive prevention to create an environment for conversations to start before it's too late. I love the work going on with HFTD and it's only going to continue growing. I hope you'll check out more from them.

This week's guest is Jonny Boucher, founder and CEO of Hope for the Day. If you’ve been listening all season long, and caught Joel Frieders’s episode to launch the season back in October, you already know the charisma & energy that Jonny brings to any conversation. So I was super excited to capture some of that for all our listeners.You will hear just how much music is a part of Jonny’s life, how that has inspired him since his youth, became his passion in young adulthood, and still is a beating part of his heart today. We cover some of the trials and tribulations of both of us growing up through the Columbia House and BMG CD era and the status game of how big your CASELOGIC compact disc cases were.We dive into much more than just the elevator pitch of how HFTD started, where Jonny was when he received the news that would pivot his outlook on life and purpose, as well as what he has planned for 2020 both personally and within the HFTD mission. This is one conversation that I had a planned set of questions for, but at the same time, feels like we didn’t talk about them at all, but yet still ended up answering them perfectly. If you know Jonny, you will come to know, that is often how most conversations with him go.I hope you enjoy the conversation with Jonny as much as I did and as much as it meant to me to sit across the table from him. If there’s anything else you want to know about Jonny, you can check out Jonny's guest page for more details.Anthologies / Rick Osowski / Hope for the Dayhttps://www.auxchicago.com/anthologies-of-hopehttps://www.anthologiesofhope.com/https://www.instagram.com/anthologiesofhope/https://www.facebook.com/anthologiesofhope/https://www.instagram.com/rosowski/https://www.hftd.org/https://www.instagram.com/hopefortheday/https://www.facebook.com/hopefortheday/https://sipofhope.com/https://www.instagram.com/sipofhope/https://www.facebook.com/sipofhope

At long last, Mike Vinopal sits down with us for a long-form, deep-dive, one-on-one conversation covering his mental health journey. In his role as Hope for the Day Director of Education, you have heard him on Anthologies of Hope before leading the Sip of Hope one-year anniversary episode with me and recently hosting our Veterans Day Conversations Cafe episode as well.You will quickly hear the love he has for Hope for the Day, Sip of Hope, and everyone involved in breaking the stigmas associated with the mental health movement. We cover Mike’s childhood, growing up as a “different” kid in an otherwise white suburban upbringing, going off to college and discovering a whole new world of opportunities, working in the mental health field after discovering the desire to work in the act of service, as well as returning to Chicago to see where life led him full circle.We also dive deep into how and why Mike came face to face with his own mental health issues after returning to Chicago and the work he needed to do to come out on the other side of crisis, while growing and supporting his mental health both personally and professionally, including how he ended up manifesting his current role into existence!Throughout you will also hear Mike mention music again and again, so if you would like to see more of where you can find Mike’s musical talents, head on over to his Guest Page to find out all the bands and locations he is a part of.
