Trafficking is defined by The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 as the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purpose of commercial sex acts or labor or services using force, fraud, or coherence. According to the United Nations 2016 Report on Trafficking in Persons, women and girls make up 71% of all human trafficking. The Counter-Trafficking Data Collaborative found that 60% of identified sex trafficking victims were recruited by a family member or intimate partner, and 87% of identified labor trafficking victims were recruited by a non-family member, such as a friend, acquaintance, business contact, or neighbor. And the FBI's Innocence Lost National Initiative discovered the life expectancy for sex trafficking survivors is 7 years. We need to END Trafficking.

Anxiety has been the number one mental health concern that is widely encountered nowadays. It has many different symptoms, ranging from hyperarousal to behavioral issues, which indicates a significant global health burden. However, when in this state, it can sometimes be challenging to speak up freely. There are misconceptions about mental health that we can visibly see around us.   People often view mental health issues as nothing more than temporary hormonal swings, and a person acts out in an effort to get attention. Thus, we must realize that mental health is not a destination but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going.   So, in this episode, we aim to help people realize the value of normalizing the conversation about mental health and raising awareness on how to be someone capable of supporting another. Join us as we learn about the importance of self-care, validation statements, and empowering conversations in a person's mental health.   Today, we're joined by Francesca Reicherter, the Founder and President of Inspiring My Generation, a 501(c)3 supporting mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Inspired by her mental health journey, Francesca works to make resources and information accessible. In 2021, Francesca published "You Are Not Alone: The Workbook" as a guide to help the reader build a coping toolbox. In 2022, Francesca published "I AM," an interactive workbook to help readers make the tools needed to advocate for their mental health.   Dedicated to ending the stigma, Francesca hosts Normalize the Conversation, a podcast series amplifying the voices of mental health professionals, advocates, and anyone interested in sharing their stories. Francesca's mission is to make preventative resources available, eliminate barriers, and normalize the conversation so that no one else has to lose themselves or someone else to suicide.   Show Highlights:   (00:00:00) Episode disclaimer, highlight, and introduction (00:02:44) "Mental health is not a destination, but a process.

So, all those praises they throw were to invalidate instead of giving you space to feel." – Francesca Reicherter   "I put myself in a situation I wasn't ready to be in. I didn't know how to take care of myself, which was not a good position to be able to take care of others. I learned now how important it is to put that mask on yourself first, or at least be putting it on yourself as you're trying to put it on someone else, and not just completely ignore yourself." – Francesca Reicherter   "The more we hear the stories of others, the more we realize we're much more alike than we are different." - Abraham Sculley   "When we are a strong person, it's difficult to be weak, but being weak is a part of the human experience." - Abraham Sculley   "It is prevalent around mental health conditions that we don't know the signs, we don't know the symptoms, and so we don't have the language to give of a name." - Abraham Sculley   "I'm working on learning how to be able to stop in the middle of doing something to protect my mental health and that I must set a healthy boundary in knowing that I have to say no sometimes." – Francesca Reicherter   "We look at a world where many labels are being done around. There's so much pressure figuring out where you fit in with many labels, stereotypes, and misconceptions. There's not enough conversation happening, or maybe there's too much conversation happening that isn't as productive as it could be because it's just a lot of arguing going on." – Francesca Reicherter   "Mental health is the root of my health. It has to do with every single piece of who I am and what I do. It's where everything stems from, all the happiness, all the pain, all the joy, all the anger. It all comes from that point of how I care for myself, and that's mental health." – Francesca Reicherter   Connect with Francesca via the following:   Website: https://inspiringmygeneration.org/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/francesca-reicherter/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/inspiringmygeneration Twitter: https://twitter.com/inspiringmygen   Unlearn The Lies About Mental Health is Hosted by Abraham Sculley   Contact Speaks 2 Inspire to learn about S2I programs: https://speaks2inspire.com/services/.
