The way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
The Phoenix Forum is an interactive community space for people to engage creatively and share their lives through stories, art and other creative mediums, as well as to educate the community on mental health topics as they pertain to minoritized groups. We believe in connection and community through human experiences, and empowering individuals to express their story in their own way. Experiences of joy, pain, sorrow, and hope are things that we all share as humans. Yet it is not often enough that we engage in collective healing by creating the space to be vulnerable and share these experiences with others. The Phoenix Forum is a space for any human being looking to share their story or engage with the stories of others. We empower you all to rise with us.

Talk about mental health without the fear of judgement with no stigma attached.
We created this space to discuss mental health work and community engagement through creativity, activism, and passion. We understand that mental health is not a one-size-fits-all approach. We have to be brave enough to discuss identity, power, and privilege. We want this podcast to be a space where the needs of those historically excluded from the global mental health conversation are heard.
Phoenix Unbound is a podcast hosted on the Mental Health News Radio Network and produced by The Phoenix Empowered
IN ORDER FOR PEOPLE TO RISE THEY MUST FIRST BE EMPOWERED.
“Keep shining your light! Just wonderful!”
“A talk about mental health awareness, differences, and learning to embrace every part of us that makes us human… wonderful talk and I can’t wait to see all of the inspiring things that you will continue to do!”
“Jose, every month I think that video is my favorite BUT this ONE is MY FAVORITE! Exceptional job!!”
“Thank you for joining us on the Community Summit webinar program today. I wanted to sit down and talk and talk and talk… because the experiences that you shared, the experiences that young LGBTQ and young people with disabilities have in their families, schools, communities…those conversations have to happen! I think that the gay community has to work on inclusion of differently abled individuals, and we as a whole community have to make safe spaces for individuals who experience the intersection of disability and LGBTQ identity to be themselves. So, thank you for sharing your story, and thank you for creating a safe space for people to share their stories.”
“You moved my heart and my stomach hurt from laughter”
