A special episode for Mental Health Awareness Month with guest expert, Dr. Sally Spencer Thomas, a clinical psychologist, inspirational speaker, podcaster, and impact entrepreneur. Known as an innovator in social change, she has helped start multiple large-scale, gap-filling efforts in mental health, including “Construction Working Minds” and the award-winning Man Therapy campaign. She currently serves as the president of United Suicide Survivors International. In this episode, we discuss the complexities of navigating mental health amidst a culture that often rewards victimhood, tangible solutions for those feeling lost in the currents of modern life's uncertainties, the unique challenges faced by men who suddenly find themselves lost in a rapidly changing world that offers little clarity about their roles and identities, and warning signs of suicide and steps for prevention. It's a must-listen for those of us struggling with mental health issues, trying to understand the pain of our loved ones, and for men who are frustrated by the confusing social expectation. It is also a call to redefine strength and identity in an age where both seem fraught with contradiction.   SHOWNOTES -  00:00:00 - Episode & Guest Introduction 00:01:33 - Dr. Sally's self-care & wellness strategies 00:06:00 - Current biggest threats to mental health 00:10:16 - Effective mental health solutions & overcoming divisiveness 00:17:20 - Is therapy still a great mental health tool? 00:27:05 - Using the power of storytelling to heal (and avoid the victim trap) 00:34:00 - Traditional norms of masculinity and the modern man 00:40:30 - Addressing loneliness and identity in men 00:49:35 - What do men really need & the success of Man Therapy 00:57:30 - Navigating self-expression and social judgement 01:00:50 - Warning signs and risk factors of suicide 01:11:30 - Helping someone contemplating suicide 01:14:15 - Is fear controlling your choices? 01:15:15 - What keeps Dr. Sally hopeful and optimistic 01:18:00 - Recommended resources   MENTIONED RESOURCES -  Man Therapy - mantherapy.org Construction Working Minds - https://constructionworkingminds.org/ Workplace Suicide Prevention - https://workplacesuicideprevention.com/ Hope Certification - https://www.hopecertification.com/ Hope Illuminated Podcast by Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas - https://www.sallyspencerthomas.com/hope-illuminated-podcast Headspace for the Workplace Podcast by Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas - https://www.sallyspencerthomas.com/headspace   CONNECT WITH DR.

Untether Your Life has taken a deep dive into mental health in the South Asian diaspora, inspired by the lived experiences of host Nikhil Torsekar and his wife Shelly Sood. One facet of this that merits further exploration is how it impacts South Asian males, a topic near and dear to Ankur Varma's heart. Along with serving as Program Director at Northeast Family Services of Illinois, Ankur launched a valuable Instagram-based resource called Brown Man Therapy which is “on a mission to engage more men and normalize conversations about mental health and South Asian cultures outside of work.” Nikhil touched on many topics with Ankur, including: Ankur's upbringing in the homogenous suburbs of Cincinnati, where he was brought up in the “Indian at home and American at school” ethos The transition of psychiatry from a consultative model to a more transactional, efficiency-based one over the years The manifestation of concepts in South Asian diaspora mental health, including the model minority myth (where South Asians are encouraged to “stay in their lane”) and patriarchy as reflected by tropes such as comic Russell Peters' angry Indian father (“Somebody gonna get hurt”) The pros (understanding) and cons (the “echo chamber”) of seeking therapists with a similar cultural background How the reticence of South Asian males in discussing mental health informed Ankur's launch of the Brown Man Therapy Instagram feed Ankur's views on breathwork, Ayurveda, meditation, and other South Asian practices discussed frequently on Untether Your Life The implication of "untethering your life" for his journey into therapy, social media, as well as for clients seeking help for depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental health issues You can connect with Ankur through his brownmantherapy page on Instagram, as well as on LinkedIn.

Barry O'Reilly is happy to welcome Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas to this episode of the Unlearn Podcast. Sally earned international acclaim as an entrepreneur and innovator in social change, helping to establish many large-scale mental health efforts, including Man Therapy and National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention. A trained clinical psychologist and a suicide loss survivor herself, she sees issues of suicide prevention and mental health promotion from a holistic perspective. Sally is a team member at Nobody Studios, leading the Employee Crisis Management function, where her mission is to save company-employee relationships by ensuring both sides have their needs met in times of difficulty. He and Sally discuss how we all can promote mental health in our companies, family, and community.  The Turning Point “Many of us have these moments in our life where we had a life before and then we have life afterward,” Sally says. That pivotal moment for her was her brother's death by suicide. She describes her deep grief and the moment in a Suicide Loss Survivors support group when she realized that she could contribute to supporting others. Facing Down Fear “The fear around suicide is just immobilizing,” Sally tells Barry. Even trained mental health professionals feel that fear and often ‘hot potato' clients who are struggling with suicidal feelings: they fear losing their reputation - and their license - if a client dies by suicide on their watch. If, however, we face down the fear, we can really help people, she points out. Sally describes how fear made them reluctant to take a different approach to suicide prevention, despite data telling them that they should. In the end, they decided to face down the fear and go against the status quo. She and Barry talk about the importance of psychological safety. If people don't feel safe to reach out for help, they won't, and then they can't get the help they need. Learning From Disaster “A lot of times when we face large-scale disaster, we pull together as communities and that protects us,” Sally tells Barry. However, the Great Resignation is teaching us that people will no longer tolerate working in a toxic environment. Burnout is real, and when it reaches the point of despair, then it's past time for companies to do something about it. A Better Approach to Suicide Prevention  Historically, suicide prevention has been seen as an issue only medical professionals could address. This ‘only-one-path' approach has failed. “What we learned from that is that when we force hospitalization, suicide rates go up,” Sally says. We have to broaden our view and see suicide prevention as both a public health and social justice issue. Research shows that people who overcome suicidal despair usually fall into two categories: they related deeply with someone who went through a similar experience, or they made meaning out of their experience so they could help others. Having someone be there for you in tough times really helps, Barry and Sally agree. Looking Ahead Sally is excited about the progress she is making advocating for mental health in male-dominated industries. 80% of people who die by suicide are male, she tells Barry, so it's important to carry the work where it's needed the most. It's about creating a culture where people are excited to serve, rather than one where you are essentially a robot. She is also excited about her work at Nobody Studios, particularly the collaborative employee crisis management tool they are working on. Personally, she is unlearning that she is more than just her work. “We are the millions of decisions we make every day with the people around us,” she reminds herself and listeners.

Grit Digital Health is a business comprised of specialists in behavioral health, wellness, technology and marketing communications. In the world of mental health, they are doing work transcending barriers like stigmas and creating access points to allow people to get the support they need when they need it. "Working aged men (25-54 years old) account for the largest number of suicide deaths in the U.S. These men are also the least likely to receive any kind of support. They don't talk about it with their friends. They don't share with their family. And they sure as heck don't seek professional treatment. They are the victims of problematic thinking that says mental health disorders are unmanly signs of weakness." Resources: www.mantherapy.org https://gritdigitalhealth.com/ https://cactusinc.com/
