It is no secret that the current mental health treatment model, is, to put nicely, flawed and incomplete.

In this week’s episode I talk with Adam Sholder, mental health advocate and founder of Insight Enrichment Group, a mental health coaching and consulting company, about the missing elements to the standard mental health treatment model.

In this episode we talk about:

• Adam’s personal and family history with mental health struggles
• The power of creative community in recovery (A Gap in the Forest)
• The importance of staying present in life and trusting the process
• The concepts of “social prescribing” and “link workers” as key elements of recovery

Join us for this illuminating discussion that reimagines mental health support as a holistic ecosystem where therapy, medication, creative expression, and community connection work together to nurture lasting recovery. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Adam's insights offer practical wisdom for moving forward with purpose and hope.
