Om episode
Jay is a Mental Health and Substance Misuse & Recovery Speaker, Coach, and Advocate, and the host of the Choose Your Struggle podcast. In a country where as many as one in two will struggle with an issue of Mental Health or Substance Misuse at some point in their life, the average American is still underserved by an outdated model of care. Too many communities don't have a Mental Health provider at all and, if they do, a lack of insurance coverage and the vast wall of stigma around these issues makes help unaffordable and unattainable for many. Mental Health coaches like Jay can help close that gap, and to do so he works with those ready to choose the next step in their Mental Health journey. Additionally, as a person ten years in recovery who survived multiple suicide attempts and an overdose, Jay fights to end that stigma by telling his recovery story and advocating for opportunities for others to do the same.Connect with Jayhttps://jay.campsite.bio/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayshifman/Connect with Russ https://russjohns.com/https://thepiratesyndicate.com/https://nextstepnext.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nextstepnext/Please subscribe to the #PirateBroadcast™ YouTube channel!!!Live Stream Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iyshtAczfQ
