Coping 101: Mental Health Matters
Wednesday, 1 October, 2025
"We knew in our bones that mental health had to be woven into what was being offered in community life, just as we had done with cancer screenings or diabetes education ... we built on the same everyday tools we had used before: creating safe spaces to talk and breaking down stigma. When community takes care of each other that's when you can see changes." Building trusted individual-centric care is the first step to supporting mentally healthy communities. Mental Health Matters Washington believes that mental health is the foundation for well-being and overall health. This community-centric program uses evidence-backed, culturally informed strategies to educate and train Peer Mental Health Navigators that provide mental health support in their own communities. Co-Founder, Sandra Huber, and Peer Navigator, Calvin Trinh, join us to discuss how they prioritize groups and communities most impacted by behavioral health disparities, to change the stigma about mental health. Coping 101 is an award-winning student-led podcast from c89.5, presented in partnership with Seattle Children's, Forefront Suicide Prevention, 4Culture and other community-minded partners, where Seattle area high school students get real about mental health. Through honest conversations with peers, Artists and behavioral health professionals, they break down stigma and share tools for coping with life's challenges — because no matter your age or background, we all struggle sometimes, and there are healthy ways to cope.
