    Voice for the Voiceless – Project 55 W/ Justin Goodman

    Justin Goodman, Co‑Founder of the nonprofit Project 55 and co‑host of The Project 55 Podcast, brings honesty, curiosity, and lived experience to a show dedicated to transforming how we respond to mental health crises. Born from a gap Justin saw firsthand—where everyday people wanted to help but didn’t know how—Project 55 exists to equip communities with practical mental health first‑response skills. And the podcast is where those conversations come alive. Justin dives into the realities of crisis support, the surprising reactions from workplaces and communities after training, and what it would take for mental health education to become as common as CPR. Along the way, he sits with guests whose stories shift perspectives, spark new ideas, and energize the mission. Justin also brings his own journey into the conversation. Living with bipolar disorder and chronic pain, he reflects on the turning point that led him to speak openly, how sharing his story has reshaped his understanding of it, and the people who have supported him along the way. He talks candidly about balancing public advocacy with protecting his own mental health, and what he wishes more people understood about living with a mental health condition. At its core, The Project 55 Podcast is about building a world where no one faces a mental health crisis alone. Justin’s hope for the next five years—and beyond—is simple but bold: a society that responds to mental health with skill, compassion, and humanity.
