Hey Kings and Queens! Thank you for checking out our latest episode. We are winding down the season and getting ready for the holidays so we had to hit you with another Memorable Cases episode. In Part II of Memorable cases we discuss our experience with cases dealing with substance abuse. Although there are times we laugh and joke during the telling of these stories substance abuse is no laughing matter. It is detrimental to the person and most of all the loved ones of the person with substance misuse disorder. 

If you need resources in reference to substance abuse please check out please call the National Substance abuse hotline offered by SAMHSA 1-800-662-4357. 

Thank you for listening and supporting. Also check out our new book https://linktr.ee/queensofsocialwork . And look out for other projects we have coming out. 

In this episode we talk to Jaime Rockymore-Bess aka Queen J about her magazine: "Helpful Living Magazine". We discuss what inspired her to create Helpful Living Mag, her experience in the field, Normalizing Mental Health Care and the list goes on.

Jamie Rockymore-Bess is Founder of Helpful Living Magazine. She is a Divine Cultivator, she creates content to help others understand the importance of mental health to help those along their mental health journey. Her mission is to educate, inspire, and change the narrative on the stigma of mental health. She worked in the mental health industry for over ten years and continues to use her expertise to inform individuals and families about mental health and wellness. She noticed the need of providing something tangible for families and individuals who had questions and concerns about mental health services. After working in the industry as a discharge coordinator and witnessing the need she soon created Helpful Living Magazine.

For this episode we wanted to feature a Black social service organization. There are so many orgs out here doing the work and unfortunately they may not be as known as others.

We came across Young Ladies of Our Future after seeing the founder, Katrina Brown Lee on the ID channel discussing her story of survival after being shot repeatedly by her spouse. Her road to healing and  finding her mission is inspiring. With this experience and many others in her life she has been determined to give back to the community and help other interrupt cycles like she has been able to do.
