Mental Health Awareness Month: Breaking the Stigma: Mental Health Conversations with Amanda Davis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to start important conversations about mental well-being. Nearly 1 in 5 adults in the U.S. experiences a mental health condition each year, yet stigma and lack of resources can make it hard to seek support.
In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Davis and Amanda Bush to discuss why mental health awareness matters, how to recognize signs that someone may be struggling, and practical ways to support yourself and those around you. We explore ways to break stigma, prioritize well-being, and normalize conversations about mental health in both personal and professional life.
Listeners will come away with actionable insights and encouragement to make mental health a priority—not just in May, but every day.
