Practice Makes Perfect!! Happy Mental Illness Awareness Week! October 5-9 is Mental Awareness Week, so I thought we should practice some terms relating to mental illness.

Today’s Expressive Practice is from Kevin Briggs and his Ted Talk “The Bridge Between Suicide and Life”. October 6th is also National Depression Screening Day. If you can, please make sure you go get screened. And if you’re struggling with depression, please know that you’re not alone.

Today’s Receptive Practice comes from Candace M. McCullough from the Deaf Counseling Center. Candace M. McCullough is the CEO of the Deaf-owned and operated psychotherapy and consulting practice. Staffed by Deaf licensed professional therapists, they specialize in work with Deaf people and their families through counseling sessions done in person or through videophone. Today Candace is discussing panic attacks.
