What remarkable journeys have people faced head-on against addiction and mental health challenges? This episode of Mental Health News Radio brings José Rosario, founder of The Phoenix Empowered, back to the microphone with host Kristin Walker for a heart-to-heart on identity, healing, and the language of mental health. José shares his personal experiences as a queer, disabled person of colour, and how these shape his mission to create inclusive spaces for authentic dialogue and joy.
Together, they explore the evolving understanding of terms like 'minoritised' versus 'marginalised', and the societal impact of criminalising homelessness. José's insights into neurodivergence and empathy offer a fresh perspective on the challenges faced by many in our society. The conversation is a mix of serious discussion and light-hearted moments, as they touch on the importance of joy as a form of resistance. José passionately discusses the need for mental health providers to support clients in accessing humanity, not just coping.
This episode is a call to action for listeners to find joy amidst fear and to engage in community healing. How can you tap into your own moments of joy and contribute to a more inclusive conversation on mental health? Dive into this engaging dialogue to find out.
