At a time when many people are struggling with their psychological well-being, we're taking a close look at the structural and cultural issues that make restaurant workers especially vulnerable. Producer Hannah Fordin starts with the big picture, in conversation with Hassel Aviles co-founder of Not 9 To 5. They look at the restaurant industry and the ways deeply ingrained hierarchies and structures, as well as widely accepted destructive coping methods, need to shift. Then we zoom in, seeking advice from experts like co-hosts of HRN's Processing, Zahra Tangorra and Bobbie Comforto, as well as Restaurant After Hours' Zia Sheikh, on how we as individuals can tend to our psychological well-being and what sort of support is out there. Resources:General:Not 9 To 5Restaurant After HoursCHOWThe Restaurant Workers Community Foundation For free addiction support:Ben's FriendsGay & SoberEleanor Health (Offer specific support groups for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals)Crisis Lines: National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (800) 273-8255The Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender National Hotline (888) 843-4564The Trans Lifeline (877) 565-8860Free support locating resources:Black Mental Health Alliance (410) 338-2642NYC Well offers free and confidential mental health consultations 1-888-NYC-Well or text “Well” to 65173Low-cost addiction support programs:Tempest (targeted at folks who identify as female)The Luckiest ClubLow-cost virtual mental health counseling:Better HelpTalkspacePride Counseling (specifically catering to LGBTQ+ individuals) Resources for finding a therapist:Psychology TodayBlack Mental Health AllianceClick here for a guide to alternate nostril breathing, mentioned in the episode.Have a question you want answered?
