SPADE: The Podcast
SPADE: The Podcast stands as a beacon of hope and understanding, addressing critical mental health challenges within the African American community. SPADE (Suicide, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, and Epilepsy) seeks to shine a light on topics often stigmatized and misunderstood. Our mission is to break the silence surrounding these issues, encouraging open dialogue and fostering a culture of support and education.

It's time to dismantle the barriers of shame and stigma, ensuring everyone feels safe to speak their truth and seek the help they need. This podcast is more than just a platform—it's a movement to spark change, spread awareness, and inspire action within families, friendships, and communities. Join us as we embark on this essential journey of understanding, connection, and hope. Together, we can create a future where mental health is prioritized and no one has to face their struggles alone.
