Have you ever considered all the ways you’re connected with your neighbors and your community? Many of us are affected in ways we aren’t even aware of because of the dynamic and complex nature of how our lives are interconnected with one another. Whether we realize it or not, when our neighbors receive care, when a family member starts therapy, when someone living on our streets has a safe place to go – our lives are improved, even if we aren’t a direct recipient of care. In this episode we’re joined by Tom Kozaczynski, Chief Advancement Officer for Compass Health to focus on what it looks like to develop and literally build behavioral health care structures in communities of need. From treating behavioral health issues, to addressing homelessness, chronic mental illness and substance use disorders, we discuss the ripples that happen in communities when health needs are met in accessible ways – and what we can do to continue to build a healthier future.

“As artist Yasiin Bey said, ‘the arts are something we forget we need, until we need them.’ In this episode of Artist Mental Health Stories we’re joined by one of Seattle’s cultural thought leaders James Miles, fondly known as the Fresh Professor. Miles is an Assistant Professor at Seattle University and former Executive Director of Third Stone, the nonprofit known for reviving the Bumbershoot Arts and Music Festival in 2023 to widespread acclaim. James has worked internationally as an artist and educator, and was inspired to foment change after seeing so many children who looked like him being disregarded and treated like criminals by our educational systems. James sits with Nathan Hale High School Junior Gavin to discuss his evolution from accountant, to actor, to professor and cultural activist using “arts as a tool to navigate the systems of educational inequity.”
