Episode #156 "We Are Equal You and Me" The Pebble Project, Transforming the World's Understanding of Mental Illness with Suzanna Free, Tracey Bradford and Andrew McLean, from Blue Phoenix

In this enlightening episode of the Pebble Project, brought to you by Blue Phoenix, we dive into the concept of 'The Ripple Effect' in the context of mental health. We explore how changing one person's understanding of mental illness can have far-reaching impacts, transforming attitudes and actions across communities and societies. Our discussion navigates through powerful personal stories and insightful expert opinions, demonstrating how breaking down a single myth can lead to a broader shift in awareness and empathy. We also examine the role of media, education, and personal advocacy in altering public perceptions of mental health. Whether you're directly affected by mental health issues or are a part of the support network, this episode offers a profound look at how every action, every conversation, and every shared experience contributes to a larger movement of change. Join us on the Pebble Project as we uncover the potential each of us holds in creating a world that is more informed, compassionate, and supportive of mental health.https://yourbluephoenix.org/Stepping Stone is a unique and vibrant community, operating on the principles of membership and mutual support, specifically tailored for individuals grappling with mental illness.
