Could we have “#SamehereSchools” one day? This morning I was fortunate enough to meet with the “PPS” or Pupil Personnel Services group of a local elementary school in NY (Psychologist, Social Worker, Behaviorist and more). We discussed the difficulty some students have in communicating problems arising in school and at home or w/ friends. Often …
Today’s #SameHere Hero: Ryan Sparrow (It’s inspiring to see someone who deals with mental health and emotional challenges and just rocks it proudly as: “this is who I am.”) “I come from a family that has a long history of depression, anxiety, and alcoholism. At a young age, I was acutely aware that depression and anxiety …
Today’s #SameHereHero: Randi Bleichfeld (She’s probably one of the strongest, purest people I know & her story & strength will help thousands. Her husband who she references below was a great friend of mine & someone I will always love.) “Growing up, I’d say life was pretty calm and ‘normal.’ I had two loving parents …
Today’s #SameHereHero: Megan Alewine So interesting to read her story as she’s been lucky in that nothing you would consider an “intense traumatic experience” has happened in her life, but she still acknowledges that her “crazy” is actually what makes her “normal” & just like everyone else.) “I moved to NYC 6 years ago from Tennessee & …
Today’s #SameHere Hero: Mia Bermann (While I’ve known her and her fight for a number of years, reading back through her story certainly opened my eyes up to yet another area related to mental health where we are failing patients. The treatments of “physical” conditions affect our mental health in ways that are being neglected.) …
Today’s #SameHere Hero: Brian Wilkinson (Personally I am very proud of this guy for sharing his story. I witnessed some of his self-medicating behavior and also passed it off as just “Brian being Brian” before I knew any better about mental health, and what experiences often bring about substance abuse.) I think his brutal honesty …
Today’s Hero: Erin McCauley from Australia! (After all, this is a global movement…just unfortunate that the proper sign language hand position for #SameHere hasn’t made its way to her down under yet ) “I had a very happy childhood, with an amazing immediate and extended family. I was a fun, happy-go-lucky, smart kid. I danced with different dance …
Today’s #SameHere Hero: Adam Kaye. His willingness to share his story is a true gift to the world. “My father served in the Army during Vietnam and came back from the war with undiagnosed PTSD. We did not know from that diagnosis at the time, but when he would get triggered he would lose control …
This Veterans Day is the first of my life where I have a very clear appreciation for exactly how the great men and women of our military are willing to risk way more than simply life and death…all in the interest of protecting our country and our way of life. When we grow up in …
Thanks to everyone who has been following along so far as our community grows organically. I had the good fortune of rooting on some close friends running in the NYC marathon today. It’s such an inspirational experience to watch many thousands of people line the streets over all the boroughs and cheer on their friends, …
