このコンテンツについて

The Mindful Mic is a podcast from the Children's Home that explores the many factors that shape our mental health and connects listeners to the community resources working to make a difference.

Each month, we release two episodes. One episode takes a closer look at a broader issue that affects mental health like housing instability, food insecurity, or access to healthcare. We talk about how that issue impacts individuals and families and then sit down with a local organization that is actively working to address it. These conversations spotlight who they are, the services they offer, and how community members can get connected.

The second episode brings in one of our very own clinicians to talk about topics related to mental health and the counseling process. Whether it's an in-depth chat about play therapy or answers to common questions about starting therapy, these episodes aim to reduce stigma, offer insight, and make mental health support feel a little more accessible.

Together, these conversations offer a big-picture look at mental health, while also keeping it close to home.

Hosted by Children's Home, Grace Shimatsu (Fundraising & Development Manager) and Colbi Twiss (Marketing & Communications Director)

  • Mindful by Nature: Healing with Nature and Animals

    Mindful by Nature: Healing with Nature and Animals
    2025/08/20

    In this episode of The Mindful Mic, we sit down with Amy Grace, LMFT—licensed therapist, founder of Imagine That Farm, and co-founder of Warm Springs Care Farm—to explore the deeply grounding power of nature-based and animal-assisted therapy.

    Amy shares how working with animals, tending to gardens, and connecting with the rhythms of nature can reduce stress, build resilience, and support emotional healing. From the sensation of the sun on your skin to the calm presence of a goat by your side, Amy shows us how therapy on the farm isn’t just healing—it’s transformative.

    Whether you're a fellow clinician, a parent, or someone seeking new ways to care for your mental well-being, this episode will remind you that sometimes, the best therapy begins outdoors.

    Breaking Barriers: BIPOC Mental Health and the Power of School Counseling
    2025/07/16

    In honor of BIPOC Mental Health Month, this episode of The Mindful Mic shines a light on the unique mental health experiences of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color—and the critical role that school-based counseling plays in supporting them.

    We’re joined by Krysti Garcia-Dunn, LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker)—a dedicated clinician with Children’s Home Counseling Services who provides mental health support both in our clinics and directly in schools. As a passionate advocate and voice for the BIPOC community, Krysti shares insight into the challenges BIPOC youth face, the importance of culturally responsive care, and how being present in schools helps break stigma, build trust, and create safe spaces for healing.

    Tune in for an honest, hopeful conversation about identity, access, and the power of being seen.
