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.

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 😊

Hard seasons test our values. After losing a home to a wildfire, getting sick, and wrestling with an inconsistent rhythm in 2025, I made a decision that protects my mental health, supports self-care, and honors your time: I'm switching to a monthly release so every conversation about recovery gets the care it deserves.
New episodes will come out every four weeks on Sundays at 3PM, which adds up to approximately 13 episodes every year.
Thank you for sticking with me through the ups and downs this year. I genuinely appreciate every listen, every download, every review... And a new episode will be coming very, very soon!
