Description
Welcome to Day 5 of Mental Health Week on the We Are For Good Podcast. Don't miss our roundup of resources to dig deeper at weareforgood.com/mentalhealthMeet Lynne. Welp, actually, you likely already know her. And not just from the many industry keynotes she undertakes. But also, because Lynne's our first repeat guest in our show's history, and we brought her back to share a little-known story. And it's deeply personal, because it's her mental health story. And some of us may have been on the sidelines as it was unfolding. She wants you to know the signs and know what to say if you or a staff member experience something similar. It's raw and real. Pull up a chair. We think there's much to be learned from this shared experience.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSLynne’s story and journey to where she is today (3:00)Lynne’s mental health journey (9:00)Give yourself permission to make decisions that help you become the healthiest version of yourself (21:00)What Lynne has learned about establishing and implementing boundaries (28:00)The state of mental health in the nonprofit sector right now (36:00)Lynne’s Blog: The One Where We Talk About Mental Health (38:00)Something you can implement today: Do something disruptive every week to take care of yourself.

Givebutter empowers missions across the country and those on the frontlines of de-stigmatizing mental health, like NAMI Nevada.Throughout the pandemic, quarantine and social distancing requirements were contributing to a massive increase in anxiety and depressive disorders across their state. So NAMI Nevada put together an innovative fundraiser powered by Givebutter to introduce the greater Nevada community to ways they can move forward—no matter the circumstance they were dealing with. They eclipsed the goal of their crowdfunding campaign and shared how much they loved Givebutter’s ease of use and the power of its human-to-human connectivity to grow their impact.You can watch their full success story at the link in our shownotes, and or learn more at givebutter.com.About our Sponsor CosmicLooking to nail your impact story, build brand awareness, and inspire action for your cause today?
