Mental Health Awareness Month: How Dancers Can Help Break the Stigma + Additional Resources
Description
Welcome back to the Dancer's Choice Podcast + welcome to the LAST full episode of Season 1! This week, to acknowledge & respect May as Mental Health Awareness Month, Riley and Dawsen sit down to not only share advice based on their own mental health journeys, but open up about what we as a dance community can do moving forward, when it's not mental health month, to help break the stigma and be the change.
This isn't your cliche "take a bubble bath and go to therapy" episode...instead we open up about how to combat mindset struggles, the importance of communication & acceptance, and share ways that we can make studio spaces safer. Not to mention- great opportunities for further education/certifications are discussed (& shared below in this description)
We hope you know how loved & appreciated you are. Keep being the change and lifting each other up. <3 xoxo.
