We Need To Talk About Children’s Mental Health - David Jones

Welcome to Stories of Hope, where we listen to stories that help heal, educate, and inspire. Joining us today is former radio host and broadcaster David Jones! David shares his experience with navigating loss and utilizing his grief to encourage others to share their own personal stories of perseverance through the many community-building events he organizes throughout Arizona.

David, along with his groups Positive Image Sports and Tanner Community Development Corporation (TCDC), is not only devoted to bringing families together and building stronger communities but also focuses on children’s mental health. We were lucky enough to be a part of the latest mental health event where we were joined by children from all backgrounds in a safe space where they were empowered to share their stories and have adults listen and empathize with their struggles with depression, anxiety, bullying, and other mental health issues.

Positive Image Sports and TCDC host events focusing on the emotional and physical well-being of communities all over the valley, including their upcoming event, Dribble 4 Cancer, where David and his colleagues hope to shatter the Guinness Book of World Records record for most basketballs dribbled for 30 seconds. All proceeds go towards cancer research and cancer-associated organizations whose aim is to continue to educate and uplift those affected by this disease all over the globe.

Join us as we talk about children’s mental health, community building, and growing from trauma in this episode. Learn how David Jones and his community-focused organizations make a positive impact on the lives of our most vulnerable young children.
