In North Lawndale / K-Town, we know our feelings run deep. 🖤
But sometimes, we were never taught how to name them.

Mental Health Meets Hip-Hop is here in the neighborhood showing our youth how to identify the simple emotions first — happy, sad, mad, tired — and then build the language to recognize deeper experiences like anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and shutdown.

Because when we can NAME it… we can NAVIGATE it.
And when we can NAVIGATE it… we can HEAL it. 🧠✨

We talk feelings in our language.
We use music, movement, rhythm, and story.
We give kids a place to breathe, laugh, and release — without judgment.

This is healing in the culture.
This is mental health that feels like home.
This is Mental Health Meets Hip-Hop. 🎤💭

Tag someone from K-Town or North Lawndale who needs to see this. 🤎

Some of our youth don’t need to “calm down.”
They need a place to let it out.

Not a detention.
Not a diagnosis.
Just a safe release.

That’s why Mental Health Meets Hip-Hop does Somatic Release Therapy within the trades. SUPER PROUD OF THIS DUDE😁 it’s an honor to service the youth and show a different way. Building and music was my coping technique way before the birth of this organization and I am honored to pour into the youth!

Because real healing ain’t always sitting in a chair talking about feelings.
Sometimes healing is:

🔨 Swinging a hammer
🧱 Learning how to build something real
💨 Breathing through frustration
🎤 Letting the body release what the mind been holding

We’re teaching youth how to:
• Release anger without violence
• Channel stress into craftsmanship
• Turn pain into power
• Build skill + identity + confidence

This is where therapy meets movement.
Where healing meets hustle.
Where the culture builds futures — not just coping skills.

🧠 Abandonment Issues
Abandonment issues often start when someone we depended on—emotionally or physically—wasn’t there when we needed them. That pain can show up later as fear of rejection, people-pleasing, or pushing others away before they can leave us. Healing means learning to trust that you are worthy of love, even if others couldn’t stay. 💔➡️💪🏾

Your mind is like a mixtape… but what happens when the tracks don’t sync right? 🎶💭
Schizoaffective disorder is real—hallucinations, delusions, wild mood swings, all crashin’ together at once. Too many of us carry this alone in silence.

But healing is possible. That’s why we built Mental Health Meets Hip-Hop—to break the stigma and drop mental health knowledge the streets understand.

If you or someone you love is struggling, Just A Mile Away Teletherapy Services is here for you—real support, real healing, right from your screen.

🧠 Your mind matters. Don’t crash out—TAP IN. 💯
