With unique perspectives from working with men’s groups in domestic violence settings and myriad intersecting identities, David’s reflections will inspire us all to think a little more and serve ourselves better.

More Than One Way
Join me and Alicia Maryott (she/her) while we deconstruct the “one size fits all” approach to mental health care. From unpacking colonialism in mainstream practices and spaces, to exploring alternative care practices, Alicia’s lived experience offers honest insight into what it’s like to navigate the need/desire for support, and the reality of access. Plus, we discuss care for Juneau’s youth, the importance of safe spaces, and the societal structures that hinder healing.

Club Med
Join me and Aaron Surma (he/him), Executive Director of NAMI Juneau, while we deconstruct the stigma surrounding meds, what mental illness looks like, and suicide. As two people whose lives have been impacted by all of that in different ways, we have lots to unpack and reflect on! Aaron’s blunt-yet-compassionate way of talking about mental health care is truly refreshing and reminds us all how important it is to support others and help ourselves.
