Five Building Blocks of Recovery
The Five Building Blocks of Recovery is a mental health podcast for people in recovery from one or more mental health conditions, their friends and family, and those in the mental health field who are providing support and treatment.
The podcast will be partly educational and partly conversational; some episodes will focus on one or more aspects of each of the Five Building Blocks, while others will consist of interviews with people in recovery or people with expertise on one or more building blocks.
Ultimately the goal is to leave you with simple ideas and action steps for your mental health recovery journey or for someone you care about.
New episodes typically come out every two weeks on Sunday afternoons at 3PM, Pacific Time.
Peer support group facilitator, peer support specialist, and professional mental health speaker Jared Bendifallah talks about mental health through the lens of his Five Building Blocks of Recovery which can provide a roadmap for recovery – a simple yet profound framework -- for those living with a mental health condition (and inspiration for their loved ones).
Remember, recovery is possible, and hope is real 😊

Conversation with Frank King, 12x TEDx speaker and "The Mental Health Comedian"
In this episode I talk with Frank King about how he takes care of his mental health through the lens of Building Block 2 (Having a Self-Care Plan) and Building Block 1 (Basic Stability).
Frank talks about his five-part self-care plan and how he uses “gamification” to motivate him to stay consistent with his self-care practice. He also talks about the importance of having a schedule/structure and relying on his “pit-crew” of non-clinical support in his life.
*trigger warning Frank and I do talk about suicide in this episode
*this episode was published when the podcast was titled "Five Pillars of Recovery" and before the name change to "Five Building Blocks of Recovery"
