BIPOC for the Aging Population

Posted on July 6, 2025 by autocreate740

Always “News You Can Use” 🙂

Mental Health America focuses on Black, Indigenous People of Color for the month of July, highlighting the unique challenges and experiences of these communities. They provide comprehensive toolkits and various support information on their website, which I have shared extensively on my podcast to raise awareness and foster understanding.

In addition, Mental Health America website offers insightful information regarding the impact and disparities for BIPOC communities.

The Our Bodies Ourselves website provides videos and programs featuring elderly individuals who candidly discuss the challenges they have faced throughout their lives, shedding light on the importance of resilience and community support. You can listen and learn from their stories while reading that information at the link below, which I believe will enrich your understanding of mental health across generations and encourage empathy toward those navigating their own mental health journeys.

All the best for your well-being 🙂

Are You Practicing Mindfulness or Meditating?

Posted on August 3, 2024 by autocreate740

Everywhere I turn these days the keywords, “mindfulness” and “meditation” are being suggested as a way of enhancing our well-being. Some baby boomers can remember meditation and the connection with the Beatles interests in the practice after a meeting Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon had with Maharishi after his lecture at the Hilton Hotel, London, on August 24, 1967, which sparked an interest to study in India with the Yogi to learn the techniques.

For your information, Senior Planet is having a conversation regularly about “Mindfulness”, and so are other wellness websites. That’s why I am happy to share some of the links with you, as you think about embracing new ways for your wellness regimen.

Are “meditation” and “mindfulness” the same thing?

BIPOC Mental Health Support

Posted on July 2, 2024 by autocreate740

July is BIPOC Mental Health Awareness Month, and this is a topic of importance on my blogs. Each blog has information which provides mental health support tools for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color communities. When you find a free listening moment, you will learn about the formidable Mental Health Advocate, the late Ms. Bebe Moore Campbell on my podcast Episode #65.
In my opinion, the more we share the resources provided on the podcast and on my other blogs, the better-informed people will be to find the assistance they may need or want.

Podcast Available on Buzzsprout, Apple, Amazon and other platforms.

In addition, the Samaritans website has “Tools you can use” 🙂
