Podcast appearances and mentions of mark henick

In part two of The Journey Beyond Death begins a powerful three-part arc on Mental Health Resiliency. In this deeply honest and emotionally raw episode, we explore how the grieving mind struggles to stay grounded after the loss of someone irreplaceable — and what survivors can do to regain emotional equilibrium. Certified grief educator and thanatologist Elreacy Dock joins us to offer expert insight on the early stages of grief and the emotional turbulence that can last for years. Elreacy shares why year two is often more emotionally taxing than year one, and how avoiding emotions too long can trigger delayed grief and breakdowns. We also discuss the dangers of using substances to suppress grief, and instead offer healthier rituals that restore stability and self-expression. Joining Elreacy are Carole Brody Fleet, Joyce Hocker, and Mark Henick — all of whom bring unique expertise and lived experience. From suicide prevention and emotional sobriety to reclaiming identity after widowhood, this episode offers guidance that is fiercely compassionate and unapologetically real. Mental health isn't about “getting over” death. It's about learning how to live beside the wound. --------------------------------------- Featuring in order of appearance: 01:00 – Certified Grief Educator Elreacy Dock 09:54 – Carole Brody Fleet 27:18 – Psychologist Dr. Joyce Hocker 38.52 - Mark Henick --------------------------------------- Elreacy Dock Elreacy Dock is a certified grief educator, thanatologist, behavioral health consultant, and death educator.

In this Pride Month special episode, Mark Henick hands the mic over to Olympic gold medallist and "Canada's first gay Olympian,"  Mark Tewksbury. Tewksbury has a conversation with Soccer and LGBTQ champion Quinn. Quinn captured gold with Canada at Tokyo 2020, making history as the first openly transgender, non-binary person to win an Olympic medal. They had an incredible, moving conversation about their respective journeys, how far we've come, how far there is to go, and how we can all be allies.

"Who told you that any of this was going to be easy?" That is the quote that stuck out most to me from this conversation. My guest Mark has an extremely popular TEDx Talk called "Why we choose suicide." If you haven't heard it, it is a really moving and profound description of what it is like to be in a mental health crisis and how Mark felt in the moments he contemplated taking his own life. Mark is now an author, mental health advocate, and media commentator who focuses very heavily on trying to help those in a very similar position to the one he found himself in during his darkest hours. The value Mark has found to be most impactful as he has worked towards improving his mental health is "patience." Mark believes the key to his well being is rooted in having the patience to let situations play themselves out and having faith to believe that no matter what the out come, he can find a path forward. Much of the conversation early on centered around the concept of perspective. As Mark put it, often with mental health crises people experience a perceptual collapse. It feels like there are no other options, no other ways to look at the situation, and therefore nothing they can do to help themselves. This discussion was really fascinating as we talked about suicide, mental health treatment, biology vs. psychology, and the role faith/religion may play in mental health. Mark is extremely knowledgeable on these topics and allowed for us to get really deep into exploring them. If you've never experienced a mental health crisis this episode provides some really good insight into what that experience can be like. So often we feel like we shouldn't ask someone about these issues or talk about suicide because it is too uncomfortable or inappropriate, but as with most things the only hope we have of making progress is by talking about them. And as we said in the beginning "who said life was supposed to be comfortable anyway?"

When Mark Henick was a teenager in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, he was overwhelmed by depression and anxiety that led to a series of increasingly dangerous suicide attempts. One night, he climbed onto a bridge over an overpass and stood in the wind, clinging to a girder. Someone shouted, "Jump, you coward!" Another man, a stranger in a brown coat, talked to him quietly, calmly and with deep empathy. Just as Henick's feet touched open air, the man in the brown coat encircled his chest and pulled him to safety. This near-death experience changed Henick's life forever. So-Called Normal: A Memoir of Family, Depression and Resilience (HarperCollins, 2021) is Henick's memoir about growing up in a broken home and the events that led to that fateful night on the bridge. It is a vivid and personal account of the mental health challenges he experienced in childhood and his subsequent journey toward healing and recovery.

Author and mental health advocate Mark Henick discusses depression, resilience, recovery, and hope. His TEDx talk, Why We Need to Talk About Suicide, is among the most watched in the world with over six million views.

Many of us have experienced isolation over the past 18 months, which has taken a toll on our collective mental health. During these restless times, it's natural to fight the feelings of loneliness, grief, and sadness. But as mental health advocate Mark Henick has learned, these feelings can be an excellent teacher if we're willing to just … sit with them. Henick is an author and mental health advocate and he spoke at The Walrus Talks at Home: Mental Health in 2021. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Lately, the teams at Nexus have been supporting clients with their mental wellness programs. A lot of that work involves helping people talk openly about their struggles with mental health.  You'd be amazed at how many people have told us that having a colleague who's willing to listen has made those struggles easier, just as having a person who's judgmental or unprepared to listen has made them worse.   Which begs the question…while it's important to help people share their stories, isn't it just as important to help people listen?  If having a colleague in your corner can mean the difference between life and death when dealing with mental health, shouldn't we be doing more to give those “listeners” the skills and the permission to support their co-workers?   Those are just two of the questions we put to Mark Henick, best-selling author, speaker, and prominent mental health advocate.

Mark Henick is a man that has dedicated his life to helping people change their lives through mental health.  He's had direct experience with depression.  When he was young his depression was so severe that he had even had several suicide attempts.  Now he spends his time trying to help others get out from underneath the crushing weight of their depression, like he made it out of his.   Currently, he is the CEO of Strategic Mental Health Solutions.  This is a consulting firm that helps people and organizations move from standard mental health awareness into having a more in depth understanding of mental health and taking measurable action to better mental health.    He has a Master's Degree in Child Development, a Bachelor's of Arts, and several certifications (including trauma counseling and suicide intervention).  He has become a sought-after public speaker when it comes to mental illness and mental health, and he's just written a book on those subjects called “So-Called Normal.”   Mark is a man truly giving his time to better the lives of people everywhere.  He's overcome so much, and he continues to help people to overcome their problems to  this very day.
