Audacy's 'I’m Listening' aims to share valuable resources for those who need to connect, heal, and share their own stories. To those who are dealing with mental health issues, understand you are not alone. Once again this Mental Health Awareness Month, we have teamed with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) to continue the conversation about mental health, both in ourselves and our communities.

Listen as Audacy's Katie Neal along with AFSP Chief Medical Officer Christine Yu Moutier and AFSP Oregon Chapter Board Chair Vuong Tran, discuss destigmatizing conversations around mental health, because talk has the power to save lives. You can hear the entire conversation this weekend on your favorite Audacy station, or listen to the full podcast above.

"One thing is certain in that there will be unpredictability and unexpected curveballs and turns of life, and so the way that we respond to all that is really about exercising that muscle of resilience," explains Dr. Moutier. "It's about maintaining a sense of stability, a sense of self, a sense of connection to others and community even through the hard times."

"Mental health is really dynamic, it's like other aspects of health. Our physical health can change, it goes through ups and downs," she adds. "It's about managing and optimizing all of that, and resilience is a tactic or strategy to ground ourselves, to stay stable."

If you or anyone you know is struggling with depression or anxiety, know that someone is always there. Additionally, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 988.
