For so many, 2020 has been a trying year, especially for those who suffer from a severe mental health struggle like depression or mood imbalance. In this episode, we talk with a licensed counselor and the host of the Liberty Hope cast, Hope Brown, as we discuss practical and compassionate ways to help aid those who struggle with the intense loneliness and hardship associated with mental health battles.

We pull out some of the roots in the stigma surrounding a mental health diagnosis and learn how being educated can pave the way to a healthy understanding and brighter future for those who suffer. Though we alone can not change the world, we can plant seeds of HOPE to change false points of view and birth empathy through education.

If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health issues, you are not alone. There are many support systems and treatment options available.
