Hope * Mental Health & Wellness Recovery * Wellness Recovery Action Plan * Peer Support Welcome friends to Self-Care for Mental Health, a safe space to talk about our mental health and wellness. For many years, I longed for a place where I could show up as my authentic self. I lived in silence, feeling invisible. It wasn’t until I risked being vulnerable, that I found a community of peers with similar lived experiences. I believe having safe spaces to talk about our mental health and wellness is essential to recovering our lives. At Living Table you will hear from a community of peers who understand what it is like to live with mental health challenges, and who daily inspire hope that mental health and wellness recovery is possible for everyone. If you are done feeling silenced and invisible, are curious about mental health and wellness recovery, and are ready to be surrounded by love and acceptance wherever you are on your wellness journey, you’re in the right place. So grab your emotional support coffee and join me at the table! With you, Amy LEARN -> CONNECT -> COMMUNITY -> www.amymcvay.com

42 | “Are You OK?”- Spring, Suicide Awareness, & the Importance of Checking In
Wednesday Jun 18, 2025
Wednesday Jun 18, 2025
Welcome to Self-Care for Mental Health 🌊
I'm so glad you are here! 🫶
*Disclaimer: There is mention of suicide in this episode. Please take precautions while listening and seek out support if needed.
Hi friend,
Do you find yourself dreading the “How are you” question? 🙋🏻♀️
For me it can often feel like there is pressure and an expectation to say “I’m good” or “I’m fine”, even though that may not be the case. 🫤
The season of Spring can be one of the hardest times for those of us who struggle with our mental health and wellness. ❤️🩹
Contrary to what society makes it out to be, the highest rates of suicide around the world happen in the Spring not Winter. 💔
In today’s episode, I will be sharing about the importance of self-reflection, checking in with ourselves and those around us, and growing in awareness of how we are seasonally affected so we can move towards connection and what nourishes us, instead of isolation.
Listen in.
Your presence matters here. <3
With you,
Amy
