In this powerful episode, Chris Shaw talks about navigating the mental health care system, teen suicide statistics, reluctant legislators, post COVID spike in stressors, survivor trauma to strategies and changing attitudes about mental illness.

Chris Shaw, CPSS, CFPS, CPRS
Chris grew up in NY City and moved to Stillwater, MN when his mother remarried. He is a 3-tour Navy Veteran and went to U of W River Falls and got his BA in English.
He toured as a stand-up comedian and struggled with mental health challenges and a near-fatal suicide attempt in 2015. During a treatment stay at the Minneapolis VA Hospital he met a “Peer Support Specialist.” Through that experience, he trained to became a Certified Peer Support Specialist and then founded The HEART and MIND Connection.
QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS
CHRIS: “...not all diseases are visible. And what we're talking about are people walking around who on the outside look perfectly quote unquote normal, and yet are dealing with a crap storm inside of their brain...”
CHRIS: “...with everything going on and everything being thrown at kids, they just wanna know that they matter.”
CHRIS: “Nobody who has a family member who gets cancer, goes, oh my gosh, what did I do that gave them cancer? We just don't do that. And, and we need to stop doing that about mental health.”
CHRIS: “The past is where depression develops and the future is where anxiety lives. “
PAT: “There is... a generational shift in how mental illness is perceived. Millennials and the Generation Z’s, they're much more accepting and knowledgeable about mental illness than previous generations.”
CHRIS: “Kindness could be the simplest thing...people say, I don't have any education in mental health and I don't have any experience... Hey, have you ever smiled at somebody? Have you ever asked somebody, how are you - then you have experience.”
