Description

Become a Paid Subscriber: https://anchor.fmcryinandtryinpod/subscribe Cryin’ & Tryin is a podcast where people with lived mental health experience have candid, vulnerable, sarcastic, & authentic conversations about mental health. Lexi and guests analyze how oppressive structures and systems create barriers to accessible mental health care. With macabre humor sprinkled throughout, C&T highlights the complex ways that capitalism, the patriarchy, religion, white supremacy, colonialism and our own egos intersect and affect one’s mental health in an effort to provide peer support and to create a stronger movement for mental health care reform, globally.
