The Greenest Side
We want to help spread awareness and understanding of mental health by sharing real life experiences. Every episode, we will shine a spotlight on a person’s true story. Hearing from people who are experiencing life in different ways brings often-unknown details to the surface and can help you better understand your own life, as well as those you care about. Knowing that someone else is going through similar battles might even help some people feel a little less alone in this world. Join us on The Greenest Side of life, where honesty and understanding come first.
