It’s Time To Remove The Stigma: Let’s Talk About It!
MI Healthy Mind is a 30-minute TV talk show with a focus on all things Health and Wellness, particularly in the mental health and behavioral sectors. Seasoned hosts, Elizabeth Atkins and Michael Hunter explore a vast range of subjects (addiction,
depression, bipolar, autism etc) with valuable insights and lively conversation from popular entertainers, experts, athletes, and other newsmakers. But most important, MI Healthy Mind showcases real people, “the heroes” who have
overcome and triumphed over their mental health issues. In the wake of incredible loss, or adversity, these people found a way to turn personal tragedy into hope.
“All the world is full of suffering. It is also full of overcoming.” — Helen Keller
MI Healthy Mind I’m On Your Side: Finding a Support Team You Can Count On
For Tyler Frisbie, playing soccer is more than just a way to stay physically fit. His soccer club, Athletico Michigan, is a place where true friendships have been forged, and that has made all the difference to his mental well-being. In this episode, we look into one unique and very special instance of how the on-field connections made through playing soccer led to personal, off-field bonding.
Tyler Frisbie has long struggled with mental health issues such as depression. Yet, even after attempting suicide, he battled to honestly and openly discuss his pain. “Society has told us men, ‘You’re not allowed to be emotional. You’re not allowed to be vulnerable,’” he explains. This stigma and sense of shame threatened to continue the cycle of self-harm in Mr. Frisbie’s life.
Then came soccer. After finding that traditional counseling was not enough on its own to overcome his depression, Tyler looked to sports; his long-term passion which he had neglected for years. He began coaching soccer and found that re-entering the world of sport, along with continuing his therapy, was what he needed to finally and effectively tackle his mental health issues. Now as co-founder and active member of the soccer club Athletico Michigan, Mr. Frisbie enjoys not only the positive physical effects of sport but also the connections it provides with a network of people whose common interest has become the base for meaningful friendships.
The story of the Athletico Michigan soccer club is proof that through talking, listening, and learning to trust each other, anyone can build a support team they can count on.
