"Hope Starts With Us," National Alliance on Mental Illness' first podcast launches

The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has launched its national office's first-ever podcast, titled "Hope Starts With Us," hosted by NAMI CEO Daniel H. Gillison Jr.

This is just one of NAMI's latest initiatives to meet people where they are in their mental health journeys. During each episode, Gillison and his guests will share stories of lived experience and bring important mental health topics to light. The new podcast will focus on one of NAMI's essential values — hope: Hope starts with us sharing our stories. Hope starts with us breaking the stigma. Hope starts with us sharing resources and practical advice.

The podcast, with episodes released every other Wednesday, is available on many major directories and players, including Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Spotify, Stitcher, Podcast Addict, Podcast Index, Podchaser, Pocket Casts, Deezer, Listen Notes, Player FM and RSS. A video version will also appear on YouTube.
