21. Mental Health & Mental Illness w/Angie Gira continuing the conversation & sharing much needed awareness

Knowing Me, Knowing You with Paula

Mental Health & Mental illness are the topics of conversation with Angie Gira, a vibrant & energetic millennial who is a Life & Mindset Coach based in Dubai. We also touch on men & their mental well-being.
With the help of many online resources including the program Bell "Let's Talk" which started in 2010 in Canada as a conversation starter, education & support initiative we continue to bring more awareness to this very sensitive and important topic of mental illness and mental health. We discuss the following points;
📍What Mental Health Is
📍What a Mental Health problem looks like
📍 Myths and facts about mental health & mental illness
📍The stigma attached to mental illness & the poor effects it has on individuals
📍How can we change the conversation & reduce stigma with regards to mental illness
📍Labels & rethinking the language that we use with regards to mental illness
Talking is the best way to break down barriers associated with mental illness. Through education, connection & communication we can alleviate the stress & overwhelm for individuals. We can provide support for ourselves and others in reducing the risk & stigma of mental illness.
