Miscellaneous
Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! cw, tw: suicide, suicidal thoughts, depression Even though we have passed the months of May and September when we have our heaviest focus on Mental Health, we could not pass up a chance to collaborate with another fantastic guest to discuss Mental Health. Today is Part 2 and picks up where we left off last week starting an explicit discussion of Depression. We cannot say thank you enough to Anthony Waters for joining for this and for his willingness to be so open with the hosts. This is probably the most raw/emotional episode we have done and we hope that you feel comfortable listening. As always we have resources below for anyone struggling with mental health concerns. Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not). We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee! ____________________________________________ As promised, we plan to keep these Mental Health Links available moving forward too. For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.
