Celebrating Diversity: The Impacts of Social Exclusion on Mental HealthToday’s show is about the impacts of social exclusion on mental health and why diversity should be celebrated. I will discuss the toll of exclusion on the grounds of race and of gender. One of the ways I propose in which we may be more socially inclusive, is by refusing to “other” another due to feeling threatened by another’s differences. Instead, if we hold an unshakeable self-belief, nothing can threaten us. I suggest ways in which we may all build self-belief. These include finding out what we are good at by taking the DiSC Test, eliminatin...

Hello Everyone!
Welcome to our first segment on Mental Wellness, this week 😊
In today's discussion, we're talking about considering your needs while accommodating others.
To often, we can get caught in a cycle of self-sacrifice, where we are bending to satisfy the needs of those around us, to our own detriment. It's difficult to find your voice and break this cycle, because the act of self-sacrifice, even to one's detriment and harm, is celebrated in society. We need to discount this rhetoric and start to demonstrate recognition for people wh...

KellechieSpeaksGrowing In Maturity (Become a Peacemaker Without Being A Doormat)Self-management is synonymous with maturity, and maturity is born of responsibility. You cannot be mentally or emotionally healthy and resilient if you are not responsible. People with maturity understand a great truth, they understand that life can be difficult. In being able to accept this fact about life, mature people learn to handle life in all of its difficulties, not expecting it to be different. They have learned to accept that not everything in life is going to be their way, show up the way they thought it would, and nor will the world change on its axis to...
