Disability Advocacy
Q: How did you engage policymakers and what were the hurdles?

Disability Advocacy
Q: What inspired you to start advocacy work for ABLE and disability rights?
Jawanda explains how her prenatal diagnosis and love for her daughter Rachel led to a deep drive to ensure financial security and independence for people with disabilities through ABLE, emphasizing personal storytelling as a tool to influence policymakers.
Mental Health and the Church
Q: What is a practical step a listener can take today to start improving mental health in a faith context?
Start small by establishing healthy routines, such as reaching out to a trusted person, using the 988 Lifeline if in crisis, and applying the Catch It, Check It, Change It framework to intrusive thoughts with scripture as a source of truth.
Mental Health and the Church
Q: What can a church do to better minister to people with mental health struggles?
Train the congregation to recognize signs, provide access to biblical and professional counselors, and create a culture where asking for help is safe and encouraged, including direct conversations about not asking 'what's wrong with you' but 'what happened to you' so people feel seen.
Mental Health and the Church
Q: If someone is going through a mental health crisis right now, what would you want them to know?
That help is available, the 988 Lifeline is a direct resource, and reaching out to a trusted person or pastor can provide immediate support and guidance toward professional care.
