Rebranding Mental Health
Mental and Physical Health has historically been treated differently in our schools, communities, and organizations. We have physical education curriculums, organized sports clubs and fitness gyms, sick days, and wellness incentives. Yet, we've failed to incorporate consistent, accessible mental health education and supports that focus on preventative, sustainable practices. In fact, mental health initiatives have customarily been a reaction to acrisis or a short-lived intervention to avoid one. The Pandemic has highlighted the cracks in our systems, exposed the weaknesses, and widened the disparities. We MUST rebrand mental health and the traditional SEL learning to address the needs of our struggling youth and ouroverwhelmed adults. We must implement programs that cultivate environments in our schools, communities, and organizations that embody physical safety and psychological security/wellness. Mental and physical health are interconnected. Blooming Minds' mission is tor redefine how we approach mental health education and treatment. This podcast introduces the ideas behind this mission.

Values - Our Guidance System for Decision Making and Emotional Regulation
•
Iman L. Khan, LMHC, LPC / Co-Host - Kurt Lois
In this episode, Iman and Kurt discuss Values. Core Values are the roots of our human experience that ground us in our everyday choices. Most of us have a general understanding of what’s important to us (values) and what we believe in (beliefs), but it’s the clarity of both that truly makes the difference between living proactively versus, reactively. Iman discusses the Values activity she does with her clients and in workshops and Kurt shares the impact this activity has had on his own life.
