This weeks guest is Onnie Poe. Educator, Business Owner, and both a Mental Health Wellness Coach and Advocate. Onnie shares with us some of the experiences that led her to become a Mental Health Advocate within her community. Pulling from her own mental health challenges, she's made it her mission to create a safe space for others in the same situation.
Her transparency is dismantling stigmas associated with mental health and is teaching many how to open themselves up to the help that they need. BUT the primary problem that grassroots advocates are facing is, the limited resources. Whether someone needs support with coping or if an individual is having crisis, the question becomes, Where do they go?
Did you know that in most states First Responders and Police officers are NOT trained in crisis intervention or mental health support? Tune in as Onnie shares with us how to put our "Boots on the Ground" by becoming involved in our community and advocating for more resources centered around Mental Health.
