TRANSCRIPT: 01:00:06:18 - 01:00:35:11 Erin Croyle Welcome to the Odyssey. Parenting. Caregiving. Disability. I'm Erin Croyle, the creator and host of the Odyssey podcast explores how our lives change when someone we love has a disability. It's something I became intimately familiar with when my first child was born with Down syndrome in 2010. Now I work with the center for Family Involvement Advocates partnership for people with disabilities. 01:00:35:13 - 01:01:05:09 Erin Croyle This podcast explores the triumphs and hardships that we face. We celebrate the joys that the odyssey of parenting, caregiving, and disability bring. But there's no sugarcoating of the tough stuff. Sure, we can do hard things. There's a whole podcast dedicated to the idea, but this caregiving life that we're living, it is next level. It's all consuming in a way that no one can understand unless they're living it too. 01:01:05:11 - 01:01:39:07 Erin Croyle We're so busy doing the hard things, thinking this is just how it is, that we don't even realize how tapped out and burnt out we are. This is why I had to have the CFI’s mental health specialist and one of the CDC's children's mental health champions, Patrice Beard, on the show to talk about how we can better support everyone from those close to us, to acquaintances, to strangers, to ourselves. 01:01:39:09 - 01:01:56:03 Erin Croyle Patrice, part of what makes what we do at the center for Family Involvement so unique is that all of us have lived experience that informs our work. Can you tell us how you got started down this path to mental health awareness and education? 01:01:56:05 - 01:02:17:02 Patrice Beard Sure. I started off. I had been off work for a few years. I had originally worked for a medical home, plus, and I got familiar with Danny Yarbrough, our Dana, and, I was looking for a job, and she said, hey, the Partnership's got some admin opportunity part time. Do you want to come work for us? I was like, sure. 01:02:17:02 - 01:02:43:05 Patrice Beard So I started working for Admin Center for Family Involvement and got familiar with the center for Family Involvement. What they do, and then reaching out and helping families and that whole lived experience. I realized that there was nobody on the team. What that mental health look experience that I had. And so then we talked and I said, you know, I can help families with this. 01:02:43:05 - 01:03:11:08 Patrice Beard And she said, okay, well, you'll have to go through the navigator program. So I started talking to families and helping families through that. And then at the partnership, I was struggling. One day I came into work and I was having my daughter, who has some mental health conditions. I was just struggling with her in school and somebody said, hey, have you heard of NAMI, which is the National Alliance on Mental Illness? 01:03:11:10 - 01:03:37:15 Patrice Beard And I realized I had all these amazing programs for families. So I started taking these programs. So I took like family, a family, I took children's challenging behavior. And this was so amazing. And I was sitting in a room with other families who knew my exact experience and who I could talk with, and I could learn. It was an amazing to me that there were all these people that had the same kind of experiences that I had. 01:03:37:17 - 01:03:59:03 Patrice Beard It was just awesome. So I just started soaking it up and taking all these classes. I'm like, okay, I like classes so much now I'm going to learn ...
