WELCOME!
Mental Health Chat Monday was born from the need to de-stigmatize mental illness and all things that go with the journey to mental wellness. As a survivor, I feel it is my duty to encourage others and share these incredibly important stories so that those suffering silently understand that they are not alone. I hope that if you are tuned in, you are getting the help that you need and if not; that this podcast will encourage to do so.
With Love,
DDare Bionic
