Episode 15: "Check on Your Strong Friend"

Published: July 23, 2018, 7:25 p.m.

The QUAD Podcast has proclaimed July 23, 2018, "Check on your Strong Friend Day"

On this episode The Quad sat down with the mental health guru, LaToya Smith. She is a Mental Health Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor, and the Owner of LCS Counseling and Consulting Agency in the DFW area.

Mental health in the black community is a conversation we need to have often. There’s never enough information on the subject, and we should encourage those who are able to seek counseling as a matter of continuous mental health, not just when something is wrong.

With the recent suicides of Anthony Bourdain and Kate Spade, mental health has become a hot topic, but are we taking the right steps to make sure our mental wellness is in check, as well as those closest to us? Absolutely Adia discusses her recent experience with her own mental health crisis, and Ashli Nicole opens up about dealing with a relative with mental health issues. Listen to this episode with someone you care about, share with others who may not be near, and be sure to check on your strong friends.
