“The Silent Pain”Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month with Robert
Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast; this month’s theme is “The Silent Pain” to recognize and bring awareness to Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month, which is observed in the States but also an increasingly tough topic for those suffering and their families.
The term “PTSD” first appeared in 1980 in the third edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. However, earlier medical publications referred to conditions described as “soldier’s heart,” “shell shock,” and “war neurosis.” With the prevalence of PTSD in the military community, it is not surprising that the effort to create awareness was launched as a tribute to a service member. On June 27, 2010, PTSD Awareness Day was established in recognition of Staff Sergeant, Joe Biel, a National Guard service member who experienced PTSD after two tours in Iraq and died by suicide in 2007. In 2014, the federal government designated the entire month of June as PTSD Awareness Month.

“REMEMBERING OUR NAMES” Tribute to Mental Health Awareness Month With Christine Samuel
Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. As we go into May, we are reminded of how far mental health has come since the turn of the 20th century to where we are today. However, there is still so much work left to be done. Last month, I mentioned this African Proverb, and I feel it is still relevant to this month’s theme.
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.” – African proverb.
“Remembering Our Names” is a response I felt having struggled in my life with mental health issues. The idea is that mental health can be inconvenient and a struggle for the individual and family/support to adjust. Several factors may play a role in a person getting appropriate help. At times the questions of why we care about mental health is simpler: the individual who suffering is a daughter, son, wife husband, parent whose quality and value does not diminish due to them having a mental health condition, and to instead remember their names in our lives first. This month, we will discuss and/or share experiences that promote a community that supports those struggling with a mental health condition together, as the African proverb states.
Today, Christine Samuel is here to discuss this matter with us. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights with us today.

“REMEMBERING OUR NAMES” Tribute to Mental Health Awareness Month with Jonathan Niziol
Welcome to the Revive Ministries Podcast. As we go into May, we are reminded of how far mental health has come since the turn of the 20th century to where we are today. However, there is still so much work left to be done. Last month, I mentioned this African Proverb and I feel it is still relevant to this month’s theme: “If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others.”
Today we had Jonathan Niziol here to discuss this matter with us.
Short Bio;
Jonathan's journey took a dramatic turn after the sudden passing of his mother just before his 21st birthday, followed by the heartbreaking loss of three close friends and a traumatic experience of sexual assault during a casting as an adult. These events triggered a downward spiral spanning over a decade, marked by battles with alcohol and drug addiction, panic disorder, anxiety, and depression, impacting every facet of his life from jobs to relationships. Today, he celebrates 15 years of sobriety from alcohol and 6 1/2 years free from all other substances. As an esteemed international model, he has become a beacon of inspiration within the fitness and wellness community, known for his genuine and supportive demeanor that touches those around him. Yet, he remains determined to extend his impact even further.

“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” — Mark Twain
Mental Health is complicated. Some remember that a person's identity does not stem from their mental health condition but rather from the individual themselves—their names.
