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.

Should schools ban phones, or is this just another band-aid solution? In this episode of Rebranding Mental Health, Iman and Kurt dive into the recent New York Times article and podcast exploring the growing movement to remove phones from classrooms. While some see it as a way to improve focus and mental health, others argue it ignores deeper issues in education and student well-being. Let’s break down the research, the real impact on mental health, and what schools should be focusing on instead.
