Getting Through It (ft. Karine Jean-Pierre)

Have you been putting off taking care of your mental health? Then Reshma wants you to get brave and do something to change that. This week, she has a heart to heart with the one and only Karine Jean-Pierre, author of the new book Moving Forward. Karine opens up about her own struggles with mental health, how she found the support she needed, and how being an immigrant affected that journey. (If you or a loved one needs support, you can reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or text 741-741 for the Crisis Text Line.)  Reshma also answers your questions about bravery and mental health at the end of the show. You can tell Reshma your Brave, Not Perfect story or ask her a question by calling 347-76-BRAVE or sending an email to bravenotperfect@girlswhocode.com.
