Why Do I Speak About Mental Health?

In this episode I discus the reasons behind why I speak about mental health, despite not having a medical degree. By no mean, do I pretend to be a medical professional, or hold any certification (except for a suicide prevention from the military) in psychology. I speak solely from the heart and my own experiences and that of fellow service members --------------------- About our host:  Miguel A.

ABOUT OUR HOST: Miguel A. Lopez(Lopz) is a professional Visual Artist & Veterans Advocate with more than 15+ years of military service. "Art+Military+Mental Health defines who I am."  Painting it's that one aspect in life that helps him cope with everything. The us of colors - or lack of - while painting portraitures or military inspired paintings lets the viewer merge into his world. It lets you think beyond the work itself by taking you deeper into what he's been through. He calls it, "Mental Balance" "Mental Balance through painting is my way of letting you know that it's ok to feel pain, but you have to let it go. Remember but continue moving on. Cherishing each day and do that one thing that always brought light into your life, and everything else will fall into place...eventually." ~ Miguel A.
