About this listen

Mental health touches every family.

In this episode, Valerie Geer shares an honest conversation about severe and persistent mental illness, caregiver burnout, stigma, crisis response, and what real community mental health support looks like beyond a therapist’s office.

We discuss the role of a community chaplain at the YMCA, why safe spaces matter, and how families can find practical help through the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI).

If you’re supporting a loved one with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety — or navigating your own mental health journey — this episode offers clarity, compassion, and real next steps.
