Trigger warning: Self-harm
Join Jeanette and Christina as they talk about Jeanette and the amazing work she is doing. Jeanette has had her own experience with mental illness and has now turned her experience into an amazing program to help other black women and women of colour thrive on the other side of mental illness and health challenges.
We discuss why a program like this is needed, and much of it lies in the lack of resources, love and support for black women who are the pillars of strength for their families and communities. Often it is the strongest that appear to be well and ok and who in turn need the additional help and support.
We discuss how movement plays a role in recovery from mental illness and how movement played a crucial role in Jeanette’s life while suffering from mental illness. Often it was the only thing that kept her afloat.
In the end, a holistic approach to wellness was the answer for her. Knowing that movement was a source of strength for her, is comforting, but it was not the whole picture, community, meditation and a variety of other tools were key to helping her get to the other side.
