Learning Outcomes:

•  Learn What to Say and What Not to Say: Mental health is a sensitive topic, and many people struggle with how to approach it in conversation. Tonia helps her guests understand the importance of using supportive and empathetic language when discussing mental health. 
• Discover Tools for Wellness: Tonia provides practical actionable tools and resources to help individuals and their loved ones on their journey to wellness from anxiety and depression. These tools may include coping strategies, self-care techniques, and information about professional help and support networks.
• Learn How to Be Vulnerable and Share: Opening up about one’s own mental health struggles can be extremely challenging due to fear of judgement or misunderstanding. Tonia encourages vulnerability and authenticity by sharing her own experiences and emotions. By doing so, she sets an example and teaches her guests how to get real and share their feelings with others.
