Ep. #109: Empowering The Voices Of Youth In Mental Health And Beyond With AmandaGrace Krier

In the latest episode of Generation Youth Podcast, our host, James McLamb, has a meaningful chat with AmandaGrace Krier about mental health and suicide prevention. AG shares her experiences and stresses the need for open discussions about mental health. They talk about how social media can sometimes make young people feel alone but also offers a place for honest sharing of feelings. AmandaGrace’s foundation, the Sean Flynn Foundation, works to increase understanding about the link between head injuries and mental health. The chat offers easy-to-understand advice on spotting changes in behavior, a warning sign of mental health issues, and how to help those who need it. They stress the importance of authentic conversations and safe places for sharing personal struggles. In a world where young people often struggle with mental health issues in silence, this chat gives us hope that they can weather their storms, their voices can be heard, and everyone has the power to make a difference. It’s a call to listen, learn, and engage with insights that can change how we see things and even save lives.
