Project Helping: Justin Kruger's Mental Health Mission In this episode of Make Mental Health Matter Show, Kelli chats with Justin Kruger about his awesome nonprofit that he started called Project Helping due to his own mental wellness journey. He found volunteerism to be a meaningful and effective mental health tool. He started Project Helping to make this tool more accessible to others who are living with mental health challenges. Justin is the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, a Denver-based mental wellness organization. He grew up in a ridiculously small town in Iowa. He studied finance and economics, which he now doesn't use at all. He instead played golf professionally before starting a career in the golf industry. Over 15 years he did all the jobs one could find in this industry, most notably staying with PING golf for almost 10 years. His personal struggle with mental wellness led him to leave the golf business behind to start Project Helping with the goal of sharing the mental health benefits of volunteerism with others living with mental wellness challenges.

Aaron Johnson is a facilitator, public speaker, and deep holder who practices closeness as a way to break down barriers between people. As co-founder of both Holistic Resistance and Grief to Action, Aaron takes the time to hold the stories of black people around homophobia, transphobia, internalized racism, and those that are Chronically UnderTouched. Because oppression is a part of historical and present American culture, the long-term impact of those trauma stories should be acknowledged and held as a map for our collective healing.Aaron has created the Chronically UnderTouched Project, the basic strategies to bring a black body from being Chronically UnderTouched to a state of touch balance as part of the lifelong journey of interrupting oppressive systems that make touch balance a radical action. Some of the strategies that Aaron is using in his own journey of healing from being Chronically UnderTouched are sound through the human voice, working with earth in housing and altar building, and teaching others on how to skillfully normalize thoughtful and mindful platonic touch for cis black men and all black bodies. 2.

Parenting is one of the toughest jobs we take on, even in the best of times. Throw in a pandemic with isolation from peers and 24/7 social media, we have a recipe for mental health challenges.  According to the CDC, youths aged 10 to 24 years account for around 14% of all suicides. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for ages 15-24 years and the second leading cause of death among ages 10-14 years. Between 2010 and 2020, suicide attempts among children 10-to 12-years old have increased fivefold. Faceless statistics are one thing but what happens when your child becomes part of the stats? Podcast guest, Justin Kruger, shares the story of his daughter's suicide attempts. He looks back at the signs, the actions, and the aftermath of both attempts. Justin describes what it was like as a parent and the long journey to healing as a family. He talks about the lessons learned that came from it, a quote him and his daughter always come back to, and his advice for other parents going through something similar.

Making impactful organization to leverage the mental wellness benefits of volunteering both on you and your community.  To find more of what they do, listen to this episode! --- Listen to the podcast here: Improving Mental Wellness Through Helping the Community with Justin Kruger   Welcome to Action's Antidotes, your antidote to the mindset that keeps you settling for less. Today, we're about to try a little bit different of a format for this episode. Usually, I just come on and interview a guest and my guest today is Justin Kruger, who started the Kynd Kit program, which we'll be talking about as well today, but I also brought on a couple other guests, Hallie Atencio and Phillip Hill, who are coordinating alongside myself an event next month to actually build some of these Kynd Kits to build a little community through this program. As you know, both mental health and community building are very important, very near and dear to my heart topic as where we are in culture today.   --- Welcome to the program. How's everybody tonight?   Justin: Good. Thank you for having us.    Hallie: Yes, thank you so much.    Phil: I'm doing great. Thanks for having us.    Fantastic. Well, Justin, let's start with you. First, I like to orient my audience here. Tell us a little bit about these Kynd Kits. What are Kynd Kits all about and what do people do when they do a Kynd Kit?   Justin: Sure. So, the Kynd Kits are a program of Project Helping, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and we developed the kits about six years ago now, not in response to COVID but in response to the challenge of people are busy, how do we fit volunteerism into their lives, so we developed kits to really be a volunteer project in a box that has 100 percent of the materials you need in it to do something good for someone else. We now have almost 40 different projects that you can do in a box and so there's a lot to choose from. One example that's really popular right now is we have a kit where you make sight word flashcards and a reading game for first-grade students. So you open the kit and it has everything you need, you make about 75 flashcards. I have kids so I know what sight words are but for those of you that don't, they're words that first graders have to have memorized by sight before they move on from first grade. A lot of kids, if they don't get to that point, they fall behind in their reading. So we partnered with local schools and we partnered with the Barbara Bush Foundation and we built this kit to have those sight words on them but also you make this little like paper bag monster reading game so when they get a word right, they feed it into the paper bag and that's how they practice. So that's one example of almost, like I said, 40 different projects.   So when I think about these projects, I oftentimes think about certain family activities, drawing turkeys at Thanksgiving or making Easter eggs at Easter. Is it a similar arts and crafts type of project?   Justin: Some of them are, some of them are definitely not. Because there's so many projects, we want it to be a meaningful experience for the kit builder, that meaningful experience is what's good for your mental wellb...

Teachers do not make enough money. Period. But often teachers will stay in the job because they're unable to save enough money to amass the safety net of savings that would allow them to leave. Enter The Dream Teacher Project. Israel Tovar, a former teacher, and his sister Sunem, have made working with teachers to get their money right in order to gain financial peace, and have choices, their mission. While their focus is on teachers of color, whose situations and status in the profession make them particularly vulnerable, their advice and coaching is available, and valuable, to every damn teacher. In addition to chatting with Sunem and Israel, and learning why reaching for that margarita instead of saving is not particularly kind to our future selves, we also discuss scary season, and how we're kinda a wimpy bunch. Okay, not kinda. Just wimpy. Thanks to Max Siskind, of the "Max and Maks in the Morning" podcast, for voicing our intro. Email: WTBOTTCast@gmail.com FB: Will This Be On The Test?

Since early February, the Reno Gastro Project, whose stated mission “is to support the local economy while feeding community members facing hunger”, has been purchasing restaurant meals at full price for those most in need. In nearly three months, they have already raised about $16,000 dollars. Susan Abele, the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Nevada State Coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, along with three of her co-workers, had this vision in helping our neighbors in need. On a recent morning, she sat down with Our Town Reno reporter Richard Bednarski at the local restaurant, Lili’s Restaurant and Bar, over a cup of coffee. “We’ve been raising money to buy meals from local restaurants at full price and provide the people in need,” said Abele as the chatter from early morning diners and wait staff filled the air. She moved here in 2004 from Idaho and was recently inspired by a friend’s Facebook post about a similar project happening in Spokane, WA. Abele wanted to not only bring food to people who need it but also support the local restaurant scene as well. The initial campaign is focused on providing meals for the Eddy House, which helps youth without stable shelter. “Our goal is to provide two weeks of meals to the at-risk youth that they serve,” said Abele, as the waitress brought us each a cup of coffee. Officially launched on February third, the Reno Gastro Project is a licensed non-profit with the State of Nevada. They have also applied for 501(c) 3 status with the U.S. government and their application is pending. Once this happens, all donations will be tax-deductible. “We’ve supported over 20 local restaurants already,” explained Abele “and our goal is to support each one at a $1,000 a restaurant.” To date, the Reno Gastro Project has supported over 20 local restaurants. This includes Cherry Bomb Catering, who squeezed them in during a busy sold-out Easter Sunday in order to provide an Easter Brunch for the women at Casa de Vida. Other big players have been Two Chicks and Ijji Noodle House. More on this ingenious program in this episode, as part of a series here about Heroes of Reno.

Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast with his guest, Michael John, founder of The Agoge Project 501c3 in Baltimore MD.  Michael is using MMA, Boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to shape the lives of the Baltimore youth teaching them discipline and surrounding them with hope and positivity.  He has started up this foundation and includes tutoring and mentoring for the children truly giving back and serving them with their mind and athletic skills to build self worth, understand hard work and gain confidence in self defense and academics.  After working for Baltimore City Public Schools for a couple of years he couldn't get past the huge disparity between the lack of resources that his students were presented with on a daily basis and the resources that students 20 minutes up the road were given each day. How felt we can't expect our youth in cities like Baltimore to live up to their full potential when their peers in areas outside of our urban environments have access to exponentially more resources and opportunities.  From there on the Agoge Project set out on a path to offer a program that can bridge the gap and give students the resources and opportunities to excel in anything they come across in life. They are currently in their third year of official operation where our students have access to boxing/MMA training, academic support and mentoring services weekly at no cost to them or their families EVER. Once the new gym and full plan is in place they will provide over 700 hours of free out of school programming each year. The ultimate goal within the next five years is to transition out of teaching at Baltimore City public Schools and run the program six days a week with over  a 1,000 hours of out of school programming for our students a year with no cost to them or their families. For those who might be interested in supporting, our GoFundMe link is:  https://www.gofundme.com/f/the-agoge-project?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet. Another method to donate to our organization is through our PayPal link:  https://www.paypal.me/TheAgogeProject    Even a small donation could help The Agoge Project reach their fundraising goal. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word   About Michael John Michael John just finished his 7th year as a Baltimore City Public School teacher, more specifically special education for the last three years. He grew up playing team sports such as baseball, soccer, basketball, and football, where he had the privilege to be coached by some great people. As a teenager he took up boxing and became obsessed with it which set him on a path that has changed his life. He has used the lessons that he has learned through training in every aspect of life and uses those lessons to teach his students.  --- Connect with Michael John:    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theagogeproject Instagram: www.instagram.com/agogeprojectbmore www.theagogeproject.org 443-760-5437 --- Links and Resources from this Episode Connect with Nick Lamagna Podcast@nicknicknick.com Phone: 630.384.9443 Find all social media connections Here including Facebook, IG, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Listen and Subscribe to The A Game Podcast on Apple, Spotify and all platforms at: www.NickNickNick.com/Links Please rate and review HERE

In this special episode of The Project, Stanley and Laureen are virtually sitting down with a group of teachers across three high schools to discuss their joint PBL project called Breaking Bias. The goal for this project was for students to listen and learn from one another, to understand what bias is, and to better equip them to disarm bias in the future. Students shared their perspectives from three different schools in three very different areas of the country — and on top of that, during a pandemic! Joining the discussion today is Josh Baldwin, a history teacher at Liberty North High School in Liberty, Missouri; Liz Ruddell, an English teacher from Liberty North; Tara Harvey, an instructional coach also at Liberty North; Rachel Harcrow an English teacher at Young Women's College Prep in Rochester, New York; and Samuel Texeira, a high school history teacher at the Henderson Inclusion School in Dorchester, Massachusetts.   Together, the Breaking Bias team discusses, in-depth, what the project is all about; why it was so important to connect this project across multiple schools; how they designed the project with equity in mind for students; how students have reacted to the project; and both the positives and the challenges they faced during implementation.   Key Takeaways: [:32] About today's episode. [:55] Stanley and Laureen welcome the five guests to the podcast and they each introduce themselves. [1:49] What the Breaking Bias project is all about! [3:57] The ‘why' behind Breaking Bias: why it was important to connect this project across schools. [5:35] Some background on Joshua and Liz. [5:48] How they designed this project with equity in mind for students (and not only just for the classroom, but society as a whole). [9:42] How the Breaking Bias team believed that this project would benefit students. [11:03] How technological tools help to support the project and how the team was able to make time to plan across schools. [12:40] How have the students reacted to the project? How has their thinking changed across the course of the project? [14:57] The team shares about some of their most positive parts of the project's implementation as well as some of the most challenging parts of its implementation. [18:26] Now that they have completed the project, what would they have done differently? And what would they do the same? [22:36] The team offers some recommendations for teachers that want to teach PBL online after the experience of doing this project.   Mentioned in This Episode: PBLWorks The ‘Breaking Bias' Project Flipgrid Liberty North High School Young Women's College Prep Dr. William W. Henderson Inclusion School   Twitter Quotes (for Social Media Use):   [1:54] “The title of the project is ‘Breaking Bias,' so we wanted to challenge our students with this idea of, 1) Identifying what bias is and understanding what it is as a concept … and then, 2) Making progress towards what [we can] do about [it] now that we know what it is.”   [7:20] “I think, … we often get afraid to talk about race. … So, one of the things we started the conversation around … was reminding students that everybody has implicit bias, whether you're a person of color, white, man or a woman, old or young. We all carry these biases.”   [8:21] “In order to solve the problem of [inequity] we have to be honest about where we're all coming from.”   [23:12] “PBL can still happen outside of the four walls of your classroom. And not only can it happen, but it can be truly meaningful work that goes on. So don't think just because you don't have your classroom to work out of that PBL can't happen.”   [23:32] “Be flexible. Especially in an online sphere, but also be willing to try a new variety of technology even if you haven't ever used it in your classroom.”   [24:17] “As [teachers], we have to constantly be willing to learn ourselves and put ourselves out there and model that for our students.”

Today’s guest is Jeremy Bedenbaugh, who is a long time friend and who also helps leaders recreate. Jeremy is the founder and CEO of Recreate Solutions, a company founded out of personal experience. Jeremy went through a very public and also private recreating of himself. He learned that vulnerability is key when it comes to being who you were created to be. He now helps leaders and companies recreate and transform. Jeremy and I have a very candid conversation about what it looks like  when you start over, when you strip off some of your protective layers we have had on us for a long time and live into our true self.  We talk about how to use some of our most trying times to heal ourselves and use what we learned to share with others. And aren’t we all in trying times right now.    Jeremy gives us some tips right now during this pandemic to evaluate who we are and who we want to be. There is no better time to look very honestly at who we are and ask ourselves is this where we need to be; am I living into who I was created to be; are there some things in my life I need to strip away that I am too scared to think about?   Jeremy helps us ask ourselves the tough questions to get us thinking how we can start to be vulnerable with ourselves and others; opening ourselves up to all that we were created to be.    You will also laugh a ton during this conversation. Jeremy and I have the gift of sarcasm and banter and have a great time.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity. It turns problems into gifts, failures into success, the unexpected into perfect timing, and mistakes into important events. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~Melodie Beattie Overview Gratitude is the foundation of happiness. Practicing gratitude is like “going to the gym” for your emotional resilience. Lifting weights, yoga and jogging help keep up our strength, flexibility and endurance. Daily practices of gratitude and kindness build our mental fitness. In this podcast I speak with the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, Justin Kruger. We discuss how “gratitude in action” helps individuals and communities. Some daily practices we explore are: 1) Building a gratitude inventory through daily reflections or a Hope Kit. 2) Learning to give thanks freely, especially to those whose good work often goes unnoticed. 3) Giving yourself some grace and self-gratitude 4) Finding joy in intentional acts of kindness Justin Kruger About Justin Kruger Justin Kruger started a social enterprise — Project Helping in 2014 after years of regularly volunteering himself in the community. Justin realized the power that volunteering had in helping him to overcome depression and suicidal thoughts and wanted to share that experience with others. The non-profit improves emotional wellbeing and authentic community connection through what Justin has calls kyndfulness, or a daily practice of volunteering, intentional acts of kindness, and gratitude. Justin also founded Kyndhub, an online community that similarly encourages people to do kind things for one another, and Kyndkit, a service that delivers volunteer experiences to communities and businesses — making it simple and fun to be kind. Justin also serves on the Marketing Committee of the Colorado Mental Wellness Network and volunteers at Urban Peak, a nonprofit working to help youth exit homelessness and create self-determined, fulfilled lives.

MATT STEWARTMatt, a true Social Capitalist, was born in rural Pennsylvania and was a very shy and introverted kid. He went to college at Coastal Carolina University and while there he found an internship at a country club/golf course in Colorado. He became a Class A, Golf Pro while going to college and graduated with a marketing degree. Thanks to an introduction by mutual friends, he moved to Colorado and began working at Cherry Hills Country Club in 2005, where he worked for six years as a golf pro. Matt believes that the quality of your relationships determines the quality of your life and that creating positive memorable experiences for those you encounter will change how you engage with the people around you. As this became more clear to him, he realized he needed to make a career change. Matt left the golf industry to enter Wealth Management with Northwestern Mutual where developing strong, genuine relationships built on trust is his focus. Matt’s philosophy to develop social capital is built on being serendipitous towards encounters with people, being curious about others and being a servant leader. He looks for opportunities to add value to those around him; anticipating their needs and ways to provide solutions and help them. Matt believes showing appreciation is the most underutilized tool for building social capital out there. You get the best out of people when they feel good about you - simple exercises of showing appreciation yield 10x returns. Matt is passionate about social capital and believes that next to our health, social capital is the most important thing that you have. He shares scientific research that shows that our social relationships dictate our health. Integrity is a key ingredient of cultivating social capital and building a strong reputation. He urges us to be cautious connecting to closely with those who lack integrity. Power Partners are an important piece of building social capital through creating an ecosystem of people who share your mindset and values and will represent you well as the network continues to grow - be willing to invest in them first! Today, Matt continues to help people through financial advisement and his involvement with Project Helping whose mission is to create innovative ways to improve mental wellness. He would love to hear from you if you would like to get involved. In closing, Matt reminds us of Jim Carey’s quote, “The effect you have on others is the most valuable currency that you have”. Name: Matt StewartCompany: Northwestern MutualEmail: Matt@nwm.com Nonprofit Website: www.projecthelping.org Email Sarah at sarah@sarahfrancesmcdaniel.comLearn more at www.socialcapitalexpert.com and www.sarahfrancesmcdaniel.com

Please check them out and take a minute to either donate or share on social media to spread the word (and love) and bring them awareness. These amazing humans are giving their time and energy to help these kids that don't have anyone to talk to. It breaks my heart thinking of anyone not accepting you just because you don't think in the traditional way or the way your parents want you to think. Here are my socials in case you want to talk: @allitambash (Instagram) & xoxo-alli (Snapchat). Xoxoxoxoxo.

It’s no doubt that mental health is finally getting some of the attention it deserves. But many  employers and wellness pros are at a loss for how to address mental health in the workplace. Although it’s important to destigmatize mental health, for those who are suffering, talking about it is the most terrifying thing they can think of. Today’s guest, Justin Kruger, feels that if organizations solely try to identify mental health struggles first, they’ll fail. Justin is the Founder and CEO of Project Helping, a Denver-based mental wellness organization. He played golf professionally before starting a career in the golf industry. His personal struggle with mental wellness led him to leave the golf business behind to start Project Helping and providing purpose, connection, and mental wellness through kyndfulness. In this interview, Justin tells us about his story of his own challenges with mental health and when he discovered how helping others helped him dramatically (he calls it his therapy). He explains why if organizations identify mental health first, they’ll fail and what we need to do differently. Justin then explains KyndHub, an online community for sharing kindness.  Want more?

In this episode, Matt sits down (again) with Justin Kruger, the founder of Project Helping, a volunteer network founded not only with the intention of bettering communities, but benefiting the mental wellness of it’s volunteers.

Justin Kruger founder of Project Helping and KYND KITS talks about how his struggle with mental illness helped him be passionate about serving. Justin hospitalized himself twice without a soul knowing. He even won the sales rep of the year at his former business the same year he went into the hospital and no one knew. We talk about the stigmas of mental illness, why it is so hard to talk about it, and how some silently struggle for years. After years of struggling silently Justin went on a service opportunity with his then new girlfriend, only because he didn’t want to look like a jerk for not going. After he experienced serving others - his whole world changed. It led him to lead a life of service and use that passion to help heal others with the same struggles he had. This is a beautiful story of the silent struggles many of us face and how one man came through the other side and is helping others along the way.

Justin Kruger is the founder of Project Helping, a non-profit based out of Denver, Colorado that improves mental wellness through what he has dubbed kyndfulness, or a daily practice of volunteering, intentional acts of kindness, and gratitude. Practicing kyndfulness brings awareness to the impact that serving your community can have on others and on your own mental state. Justin has gone on to found Kyndhub, an online community that similarly encourages people to do kind things for one another, and Kyndkit, a service that delivers volunteer experiences right to your door. Through Project Helping and Kyndhub, Justin has done a great deal to give back to the community of Denver, with over 1,000 volunteer events in the past 5 years, and both companies help foster volunteerism worldwide. In this episode, you’ll learn how a third date led Justin to his very first volunteer experience, how his path took him from professional golf to a corporate career to founding a nonprofit. Justin talks about how he uses volunteering as therapy and his treatment for anxiety and depression and explains why he thinks volunteering truly saved his life. If you’re already asking yourself, “How can I give back?”, “Where can I help?” and “When can I start contributing?” you’ll find out how to use Justin’s platforms to find volunteering experiences in your area that are easy to jump right into. Amy and Justin will even give some advice to their younger selves, so stay 'til the end. Hopefully, this episode will remind you of the importance and benefits of giving back to others and inspire you to give back to our community and in doing so, contribute to society right away.

In this show I talk with Justin Kruger.  One of the main topics we discuss is how he runs a nationwide organization of volunteers.  This is a tough business to run.  If you think its hard to get your paid remote staff to work hard, what about people who volunteer.  Justin founded Project Helping based on his own experiences of using volunteering to create purpose and change in his life. From these experiences he wanted a way to formalize and share these experiences with others.  This is the same motivation that lead him to start KyndHub and engage people all over the world.
