Jay Martin Jr. turns personal journey into national mental health role with Active Minds

SEATTLE — In our “Note to Self” series, Jay Martin Jr. shows how healing can begin through storytelling and connection.

After turning his own mental health journey into purpose-driven work, Martin has been named a National Mental Health Ambassador with Active Minds.

The nonprofit mobilizes young adults across the country to transform how mental health is talked about and supported.

Martin joined ‘ARC Seattle’ co-anchor Tyrah Majors to discuss advocacy, community, and why sharing our stories matters now more than ever.
