Some of the hardest mental health battles are the ones no one else can see.
This Wednesday, October 7, Mind Dojo Founder Justin Lokay will join NAMI at Penn State Greater Allegheny for a raw and honest conversation about what it can look like to struggle deeply while appearing completely fine to the outside world.
Justin will share his own experience living with anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation, hiding those struggles even from the people closest to him, and relying at times on unhealthy and dangerous ways of coping just to keep moving forward.
He’ll talk about what happened when the mask began to crack, the long road toward recovery, and how those experiences ultimately became part of the reason Mind Dojo exists today.
This NAMI-sponsored support group is designed for the family members, friends, and loved ones who care about someone struggling with mental health, whether they have a diagnosis or not. It is a place to listen, talk, vent, learn, and connect with others who understand how difficult it can be to love someone through a mental health crisis.

If you’ve ever wondered what may be happening behind the words “I’m fine,” this is a conversation worth being part of. 💚
