An Honest Conversation On Mental Health

Just 2 Pearls

Hello from the other side, Pearls! On this final episode of Season 2, Jaimie and Porsha are chatting about mental health. They discuss the increase in suicide rates in the United States in the past 20 years and the unique mental health struggles that marginalized people encounter. After sharing a bit about their journeys, they provide some resources to help light your path. If you or someone you know is struggling right now, please call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline 24/7 at 1-800-273-8255. Thank you for joining us for another season of Just 2 Pearls.
