Welcome to our May 2024 IHC Podcast | Culture Is Medicine with Vincent 'Hawk' Aamodt
In this impactful episode, we explore Youth Suicide Prevention with Vincent ‘Hawk’ Aamodt, our new Social Media Coordinator, funded by a YSP grant. Hawk discusses how cultural practices and traditional medicine play a vital role in healing and mental health support.
We delve into the ripple effects of suicide on families and communities and highlight the "Never A Bother" campaign, emphasizing that seeking help is always encouraged. Hawk also shares a powerful message on the importance of tears, viewing them as a prayer and encouraging young men to express their emotions without shame.
Tune in for valuable insights on how culture serves as a powerful tool in preventing youth suicide and promoting mental well-being.
