Kristin Kosyluk, PhD (MHLP)
OUR TURN TO TALK – a teen mental wellness podcast series
Sponsor: This Is My Brave, Inc.
9/1/2022-2/28/2023
Amount: $10,474
This Is My Brave, Inc. (TIMB), is a national 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2014 whose mission is to end the stigma surrounding mental illness. Drawing on stories from This Is My Brave, OUR TURN TO TALK is a new podcast that welcomes teens to go on the record about their mental health experiences and invites others - peers, professionals, parents alike - to listen in to the conversation. While teens reveal the challenges and struggles they’re facing, they also share ways they’re coping and thriving. Kristin Kosyluk, PhD will be evaluating the effectiveness of season 1 (10 episodes) of the OUR TURN TO TALK podcast for reducing stigma and improving attitudes toward treatment-seeking among listeners.
