40 Lessons - Episode 53 - Special Episode: Second Part of Lessons on Mental Health with James Harris

  • Resumen

  • #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth is here to remind us that our mental health deserves to be prioritized more now than ever. Whether it be supporting a friend or opening up to someone about your own experiences. In part two of his focus on mental health, host Todd B. Waldo talks with James Harris about his own journey with mental health and therapy. And why he created Men To Heal and the opportunities it provides to our community. James Harris the founder of Men to Heal . He is a Licensed Mental Health Professional and holds a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. At age 5 James lost his father and was placed into the Virginia foster care system. As a ward of the State he was required to attend counseling sessions. However, he found those sessions unengaging. Typically run by white therapists who sat on a couch James felt that they could not relate to the emotional and cultural issues he faced. As a result, counseling wasn't a service he took seriously and so he wasn't able to benefit from it. This unfulfilling experience followed James into his adult life. In 2018 James created Men To Heal, a movement to bring awareness to the stigma surrounding mental health among black men and underserved populations. James is also a veteran, serial entrepreneur and community advocate. His recent ventures include co-ownership of Brewers Waffles & the Well Art Gallery and the opening of The Healing Hub in 2010, a wellness center that offers outpatient therapy, yoga, mindfulness and financial resources to the community. If you need help or support, you can find resources from the National Alliance on Mental Illness ( nami.org / namicva.website ) Also checking out Men to Heal ( mentoheal.com ) for additional resources. 40 Lessons is a podcast about the lessons we've learned about family, career, community and the lessons we are still learning.
