About the podcast: The Minnesota Association for Children’s Mental Health has a mission to promote and pursue optimal mental health from infancy to young adulthood. Every topic of this podcast is approached with an open and critical mind exploring opportunities to view circumstances through a different lens. Being in this space means we advocate for all children to have equal access and opportunities to develop the skills to nourish their lives. We begin to help others remove their blinders while we’re also being challenged to remove our own. We need to see other people, appreciate their perspectives, and perhaps even learn from their journeys. There are mental health issues specific to young Black boys that are not being addressed and we must offer encouragement, give them permission, and provide safe spaces where they can be vulnerable. Throughout this podcast series, we’ll discuss and provide tangible instruction on how we can work together to heal our communities.
