Your Point My View Podcast

The Panel

Your Point My View Podcast is a conversational platform where every viewpoint matters. It’s not a judgement of whose right or wrong. We may ask why someone feels a certain way on a particular subject or, their viewpoint may raise an eyebrow or two, but most times, it’s out of fun because much of our conversation stems from points of views that can’t be debated so we have no choice but to make it an enjoyable, relaxed atmosphere. You're going to look forward to Monday afternoons at 3 PM to see whose views mesh with your view week after week, or who is just far off in left field. The beauty of our platform is that each person's view is their own truth. It’s allowed to come from an authentic place and, if it changes during the course of the conversation, that’s ok as well because maybe the conversation sparked a different way of thinking about things. The rule is not to cast shade on someone else's view or make them feel less of a person for having one different than your own. We are all encouraged to bring our authentic selves to the virtual table. We are all important and we want to keep it that way.

    The Caregiver's Journey: Family, Culture, and Support in Today's World

    Did you know that one in four adults in America is a caregiver? Most of them don't think of themselves as one, though. They are juggling careers, families, finances, etc., all while showing up for someone else. Join the Your Point My View podcast panel as we take you through our journey of providing care for a specific group of people - the elderly. Whether it's a parent, grandparent, or loved one who cared for us, stepping into the role of a caregiver is both an act of love and a tremendous responsibility. We will shine a light on that journey, exploring what it really means to care for an aging loved one, and how to care for ourselves in the process. --------------------------------------------------- Below are items that can be used to assist the elderly. These items can be obtained at your local stores or online: - Transfer belts for lififting purposes - Position bed pads with handles - Medical non-tilt top overbed table - Medical padded seat transfer bench (used as a shower chair) - folding cycle (for upper and lower aerobic movement) - Rolling walker - Leg lifter straps  - Leg elevation pillow --------------------------------------------------- Resources to support your caregiving journey: US Department of Health and Human Services - https://www.hhs.gov/programs/providers-and-facilities/resources-for-caregivers/index.html USAGov (compensation for being a caregiver) - https://www.usa.gov/disability-caregiver Caregiver Action Network - https://www.caregiveraction.org/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=7986097862&gbraid=0AAAAAD8MRVpl-O1AflTHmAw4Gp0gz00lY&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrc7GBhCfARIsAHGcW5VAlyoNnG7_7M_H1BOLswxTPR1y8fdmx_fr4DcRhP1nPjtxnhapBKcaAtenEALw_wcB Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) - https://alzfdn.org/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=81594873&gbraid=0AAAAAD99nffHiTuKg43zCG6mn8cyiKxw7&gclid=Cj0KCQjwrc7GBhCfARIsAHGcW5UMKSR-GdsYTPfnTCDCYpiN2sIMwH1lMxKejm9nVKe23IcrsBebrUMaAu5VEALw_wcB Podcast Panel: Bobby, Darnell, Tonya, Valeria, and Velisa.

    Mental Health/Wellness: Your Mind Matters Part 2

    In Part One on Mental Health / Wellness: Your Mind Matters, we were able to explain the difference between mental health and mental illness, gave our results on our Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) test, and talked about the different types of family mental health challenges. We also referenced the mental health struggles and concerns of the black family. Join us in Part Two of our series as our YPMV panel, along with our special guest, Jasmine, dive into what mental self-care looks like, as well as spotlight the impact of mental health on black males.
