CareIQ: CareIQ Meets Mental Health

How is your mental health? The fact is everyone’s is a work in progress. It varies according to your stress and experiences like every other aspect of your life. When the going gets particularly tough and someone’s mental health prevents them from carrying on normally… special care is needed. Most of us aren’t mental health professionals but that doesn’t mean we don’t have a role. In this episode, Greg Meyer helps us explore where CareIQ meets Mental Health.

CareIQ: It's (Not) About You

We are all care-givers and care-receivers.  It makes sense that CareIQ would be about the person being cared for, but the truth is, either way, CareIQ starts with you. You don’t need all your $#!+ figured out, but you become more available and useful as you discover more of your tendencies and capacities.  Thanks to Chris Lillehei of Fabric and chaplain at Minneapolis Children’s Hospital for leading this conversation.

A CareIQ Playground

Melissa Lock and Chris Tripolino talk about what it looks like to share some of our scars and to get back on the playground where the CareIQ Tools we've been talking about can be put to work. 

CareIQ: What's It About?

Ever cheer up a friend, coworker or family member, walk them through a challenging situation? Sure, but when the typical ups & downs of life become crises we often have no idea what to do. It’s time to raise your CareIQ. This is an area of growth we revisit and practice often and will be exploring again this month with a special eye towards mental health.
In this episode, Greg Meyer and Melissa Lock start sharing the tools we've got to engage those tough moments.

Not One Stone: When the Last Stone Falls

As human beings we can’t live off ideas. We need food to eat, houses for shelter, hands to hold and something tangible to believe in and belong to. It seems we have to build some sort of church, but just rebuilding a little better than what didn’t work before isn’t the answer. What can we do to meet our needs for something, but not lose the precious thing living within?
