Self Advocacy

So you all wanted to know what resources are available to you to help you with extra $$$$$I have to be honest, I'm still learning myself... but this is what I do know, and it is worth sharing. This episode explores the options available to Canadians:  (1) The t2201-18e Disability Tax Credit Form & (2) Canada Pension Plan Disability Benefits As mentioned in the live, a great contact / resource for learning more, how to apply and guidance along the way is with a great accountant. If you are in the GTA and need an accountant who is familiar with these forms, please consider @rmpps.ca. They are extremely knowledgeable and trauma informed -trigger warnings for all videos -#mentalhealthawareness @mybipolarlifee #mentalhealth @realitybipolardisorder #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalillness @bipolar_2_life #mentalhealthsupport #bipolar #bipolardisorder @themhcc #bellletstalk @bellletstalk #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthcoach @themindhealthspot #karyninder @thementalcorner #selfcare #selflove @bringchangetomind #love #anxiety @not9to5_ #motivation #depression #health @madeofmillions #mentalhealthmatters @jackdotorg #life @theallwomxnproject #mindfulness @ml.kieffer #loveyourself @cmhanational #wellness #inspiration #healing #positivevibes #therapy #endthestigma @cmhatoronto @mentalhealthamerica #fightintheopen If you or someone you know would like to be on The Model Tongue Podcast, please get in contact with us!

So, I have never had much luck with employers regarding this conversation. But that doesn't mean you won't have a better experience! This episode is all about you, your workplace and how to achieve a desired outcome. I want you to feel empowered and protected. I want to help set you up for success. I talk about my personal experiences, what went wrong and how you can protect yourself by knowing your rights. This episode explores how you are protected by law, how to protect yourself in the long run, what accommodations are available to you and your options (if things don't go as planned) The workplace has not 'caught up' in terms of the mental health conversation.So let's discuss how we can set you up for the conversation. -trigger warnings for all videos- #mentalhealthawareness @mybipolarlifee #mentalhealth @realitybipolardisorder #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalillness @bipolar_2_life #mentalhealthsupport #bipolar #bipolardisorder @themhcc #bellletstalk @bellletstalk #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthcoach @themindhealthspot #karyninder @thementalcorner #selfcare #selflove @bringchangetomind #love #anxiety @not9to5_ #motivation #depression #health @madeofmillions #mentalhealthmatters @jackdotorg #life @theallwomxnproject #mindfulness @ml.kieffer #loveyourself @cmhanational #wellness #inspiration #healing #positivevibes #therapy #endthestigma @cmhatoronto @mentalhealthamerica #fightintheopen If you or someone you know would like to be on The Model Tongue Podcast, please get in contact with us!

This is the #1 question I get at speaking events. "When should I tell my [boyfriend] [girlfriend] [partner] [friend] [etc] about my mental health?" In this episode I talk about this question, why we ask it as well as my personal experiences with telling loved ones about my mental health. It's never easy, it's always stressful, so let's talk about it. -trigger warnings for all videos- #mentalhealthawareness @mybipolarlifee #mentalhealth @realitybipolardisorder #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalillness @bipolar_2_life #mentalhealthsupport #bipolar #bipolardisorder @themhcc #bellletstalk @bellletstalk #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthcoach @themindhealthspot #karyninder @thementalcorner #selfcare #selflove @bringchangetomind #love #anxiety @not9to5_ #motivation #depression #health @madeofmillions #mentalhealthmatters @jackdotorg #life @theallwomxnproject #mindfulness @ml.kieffer #loveyourself @cmhanational #wellness #inspiration #healing #positivevibes #therapy #endthestigma @cmhatoronto @mentalhealthamerica #fightintheopen If you or someone you know would like to be on The Model Tongue Podcast, please get in contact with us!

Everyone talks a lot about trauma, getting through it, receiving treatment... but what about life after trauma? In this episode, I discuss 'everything after'. How do you achieve and maintain a life of quality? What about jobs and relationships? There are so many questions (I know I had a questions) and little resources to help us navigate life after trauma, after treatment, after diagnosis. So, what does it look like? Tune in to find out. -trigger warnings for all videos- #mentalhealthawareness @mybipolarlifee #mentalhealth @realitybipolardisorder #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalillness @bipolar_2_life #mentalhealthsupport #bipolar #bipolardisorder @themhcc #bellletstalk @bellletstalk #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthcoach @themindhealthspot #karyninder @thementalcorner #selfcare #selflove @bringchangetomind #love #anxiety @not9to5_ #motivation #depression #health @madeofmillions #mentalhealthmatters @jackdotorg #life @theallwomxnproject #mindfulness @ml.kieffer #loveyourself @cmhanational #wellness #inspiration #healing #positivevibes #therapy #endthestigma @cmhatoronto #fightintheopen @mentalhealthamerica If you or someone you know would like to be on The Model Tongue Podcast, please get in contact with us!

In-patient care, whether short or long-term, can sound scary and intimidating. I would never want this to hold you back from receiving treatment. In this episode, I break down my experiences with in-patient care, including two short term stays and one long term stay. Between September 2011 - November 2011, I received treatment at @homewood, a psychiatric centre in Ontario, Canada. It was the best thing I've ever done for myself, it gave me a second chance at life and I am forever grateful. I actually still have my Homewood binder, full of all the materials I used during my stay! I break that bad boy open and give you a show and tell of what life is like in a long term treatment facility such as Homewood. What my day to day looked like, the classes I took and what I liked most about it. Take a walk down memory lane with me! -trigger warnings for all videos- #mentalhealthawareness @mybipolarlifee #mentalhealth @realitybipolardisorder #mentalhealthdisorders #mentalillness @bipolar_2_life #mentalhealthsupport #bipolar #bipolardisorder @themhcc #bellletstalk @bellletstalk #mentalhealthadvocate #mentalhealthcoach @themindhealthspot #karyninder @thementalcorner #selfcare #selflove @bringchangetomind #love #anxiety @not9to5_ #motivation #depression #health @madeofmillions #mentalhealthmatters @jackdotorg #life @theallwomxnproject #mindfulness @ml.kieffer #loveyourself @cmhanational #wellness #inspiration #healing #positivevibes #therapy #endthestigma @cmhatoronto @mentalhealthamerica #fightintheopen If you or someone you know would like to be on The Model Tongue Podcast, please get in contact with us!

Cw: self harm Welcome to The Model Tongue Podcast, a podcast dedicated to providing a safe space to discuss the hard stuff, the taboo topics, the things that should be talked about...but aren’t. Today I am joined by my friend Laura to discuss something that is largely misunderstood and highly stigmatized: Self Harm. In this episode, we share our experiences dealing with self harm, when we started, why we started and what we wish people knew about this unfortunately popular coping strategy. We break down how to stop self harming, things that have worked for us as well as the very real REAL about being in ‘remission’ and everything that goes with that. We also talk about what you can do in a support role if you notice that a loved one or someone you know is self harming.
