In this episode, we explore the integration of yoga and holistic practices into public mental health care. We discuss practical strategies to make these tools accessible for clients, the benefits of trauma-informed yoga, breathwork, and mindfulness, and the barriers to implementation. Nina Marie shares her experiences as a peer support specialist, explaining how techniques like resourcing can be beneficial in public mental health settings. Learn about their approaches to making mental health care more compassionate and accessible, complete with a guided resourcing activity for therapists to incorporate into their practices.

MEET Nina Marie Collins

I am a 500-hr yoga teacher, and I also work in the public mental health field as a Peer Support Specialist. I care deeply about bringing holistic practices into mental health care, particularly public mental health care which often serves people with both mental health challenges and poverty. These people may otherwise not get access to holistic practices. I have taught yoga in several of the mental health settings I've worked in. Recently, I am completed a training to be a facilitator of energy work. I am passionate about bringing holistic practices and spirituality into mental health care, particularly in the public system.
