John Tessitore reminds us that mental health is a journey that we're on together, and shares inspiration and tips on how we can address mental health openly and without the negative stigma.
John Tessitore, founder of the JCK Foundation, has a lot of reasons to lose hope after losing his best friend to suicide and being diagnosed with OCD himself. However, John uses this as a basis for his work with youth around the U.S. and Sweden and with our podcast guests, spreading kindness, love and hope.
John Tessitore founded the JCK Foundation following the loss of his friend and mentor, John Kelly, to suicide. Tessitore had found a sense of belonging and connection with Kelly around a shared experience of dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Depression. This support provided him with the vision and understanding that connection and community are key elements of mental health. He created the JCK Foundation to work with communities and schools around building resilience and improving mental wellness amongst youth. This episode contains discussion around suicide loss. We want to remind everyone that there is help available 24/7 through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 1-800-273-8255(TALK).

AT Parenting Survival Podcast: Parenting | Child Anxiety | Child OCD | Kids & Family
Have you ever wondered what your child with OCD is going through? What their life is like growing up with OCD? I had the pleasure of talking to John Tessitore, the founder of the JCK Foundation. He was willing to get raw with me and share some personal details of what life was like growing up with thoughts he hid from the outside world. He paints a picture of what it can feel like to think you are all alone and how he found hope and inspiration when his brother’s friend took him under his wing and shared that he, as well, had OCD. John has made it his mission to let others like him know that they are not alone. He created the JCK Foundation to spread knowledge and offer support to people with mental illness. The JCK Foundation offers programs that go into high schools and colleges to speak to students about mental illness and to offer them support and hope. If you know of a school that would benefit from JCK Foundation’s program visit their site.

This episode is John’s story told by friends, family members, and acquaintances. We share their memories of him to show the world who John Kelly was and why his legacy will never die. Sit back, relax, and enjoy learning about the legend that is John Cleaver Kelly. More stories of John >> JCKFoundation.org/johnkelly
It’s been 8 years since we lost John Kelly. Today is always a heartbreaking day. We miss John so much, his love and energy lit up a room. He was always looking for adventure, and nothing filled him with more joy than seeing a smile on your face. We wish everyone got to meet John and experience the happiness and comfort he gave to so many of us.vJohn was a visionary, he didn’t live his life by the book and he constantly fought for the underdog and for what was right. He wasn’t afraid to dream big, and his vision lives on stronger than ever as he continues to push the JCK Foundation forward. We will never stop dreaming and we love you so much legend. Thank you for being you. More stories of John >> JCKFoundation.org/johnkelly

Welcome to Collected Layers, an effort by John Tessitore and Mike Esposito at the JCK Foundation to document society's response to mental health. We started recording interviews a few years ago under the moniker "Doming Out." A term Tessitore and his mentor, John Kelly, used when describing their intrusive thoughts. John Kelly succumbed to his OCD and depression in 2011, but we never forgot the passion he had for improving the lives of those around him. We started the JCK Foundation in his honor, where we help create positive mental health cultures on high school and college campuses. We hope Collected Layers is an extension of that. A forum to share stories, strategies and data about the mental health movement to ensure we can be our own advocates and advocates for those around us. Enjoy our 1st episode as Collected Layers featuring John Kelly's father exclusively on our website. We're now available on Apple Podcasts, Google Play and Spotify.

Join hosts Joseph Fusaro and Kristin Sunanta Walker as they interview Mike Esposito and John Tessitore. Mike and John are founding members of the organization JCK Foundation. The foundation was created to further the work of John Cleaver Kelly who succumbed to OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) in March 2011. The Foundation continues John’s initial mission to educate and mentor students with OCD and other mental health disorders. Spiritual warfare is a topic that a lot of people might shy away from but we dive right into our own understandings of what this means, how we believe it has affected our mental health, and our anxiety.www.jckfoundation.org
