Mental Health: Hope and Recovery
We live in recovery. So can you.
Helen Sneed and Valerie Milburn have both fought and overcome severe,
chronic mental illnesses, and offer an insider’s approach to mental health.
They share inspirational true stories and a host of recovery skills.
Episodes examine depression, anxiety, substance use and eating disorders,
self-harm, suicide, other major illnesses, and the pandemic’s impact. You’ll
learn about treatment options, coping skills, goal setting, relationships,
and mindfulness. Helen and Valerie are your peers. They are not a substitute for qualified counseling or other mental health resources. They are not professionals, but they are experts through their own lived experience with multiple mental health conditions.
