The mental health system is broken around the world. Today you’re going to learn what the barriers are and EXACTLY what you can do to make a difference for those in your life.

In fact, in this video, Vikie Shanks and I share real-life situations where the system is failing and practical ways that any person can help to fill the gap.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

Vikie and I discover and discuss the similarities of the mental health systems in the UK and the US. Even though the countries are separated by an entire ocean and the health insurance options are different, the barriers to mental health treatment remain the same. They include things like long waiting lists at mental health facilities and people being treated as if their situation is not serious enough to warrant seeking treatment.

It’s important that we expand mental health awareness in order to put an end to this global crisis. While we work on eliminating these barriers to mental health care access, Vikie and I share some strategies that you can use with family and friends in your own life who are struggling. We share practical tips on what you can do and say to show your loved one that you care and support them.

We also discuss the importance of open dialogue between caregivers and family members. While many people realize the struggle that people with mental health challenges face, they don’t realize how exhausting it can be for the family members or friends who are helping to support them. Vikie shares a few pointers on what to do in this situation.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways to rise above the barriers in the mental health system for yourself and your loved ones in 2019.

Today we delve into the sometimes controversial topic of gender roles and discuss how men can be healthier in their masculinity.

In fact, in this video, we talk about some of the reasons men are struggling to know their role these days and what can be done about it.

Here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

A lot of attention gets focused on the topic of gender equality, and rightly so. Women deserve equal pay for equal work and to know they can go to work in a safe environment. However, as the feminist movement has risen to fight for what they deserve, a shift has happened that makes it difficult for men to understand what our role is.

What does healthy masculinity look like in a society that tends to paint it in a bad light? Vikie Shanks and I dive head first into this topic. We discuss things like:

The natural roles of men and women from centuries ago
The need for women to embrace their femininity and men their masculinity
How the feminist movement has left men unsure how to treat women (e.g., do we hold the door open for women or give up our seat on the subway? Or does that make it look like we think they are the “weaker sex”?)
The importance of men stepping up to talk about issues like mental health
How to take out anger and aggression in appropriate ways

In short, if you are a man, this video will show you actionable ways to embrace your masculinity in 2019. If you are a woman, this video might help you see through the eyes of the men in your life.

Description:

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how you can show empathy to others.

In fact, in this video, I’m going to introduce you to a friend of mine, Vikie Shanks, who learned how to empathize the hard way—by going through challenging situations. She shares with us how the difficult times she’s been through have helped her to connect with others.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

Vikie Shanks shares with me some of the personal and difficult experiences that she has been through in life. However, instead of getting stuck in these situations she has used them to help her learn to connect and empathize with others who are going through similar experiences. But it doesn’t stop there. We also discuss how we can show empathy to people even if we haven’t been through the same situation as them.

In this video, Vikie and I talk about the importance of sharing our own personal stories with others and the need for more people to be open and honest. When it comes to transforming the stigma around mental health, part of the problem is that too many people aren’t willing to talk about it. The more we are able to share, the more we are able to help people on both sides of the situation.

We share a few tips that you can use on how to talk to others to help them open up and be honest about their situations.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways to connect with and show empathy for others in 2019.

AND I’M ISSUING YOU A ***CHALLENGE***, FRIEND!

1) Film yourself sharing your own raw, unedited story to help spread the message about the importance of being open and honest (on Instagram Stories or YouTube or any other platform you prefer).

2) Send it to me or tag me on social media @mikeveny:

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mikeveny. . .

Remember, transforming the stigma around mental health starts with getting it into the conversation. Don’t be afraid to share the unsugar-coated version of your story to help encourage others to do the same. The more people are able to see the reality that no one is living a “picture perfect life,” the more we can learn to empathize with others.
